I think you have to go with the two Scottish centres now also. Everyone knows the Aussies are going to target Jones' defence all game so the best hope here is probably having a familiar centre partner alongside him. The only issue then is that, if Farrell is bringing Ringrose back in for the second...

Another highly praised, highly decorated, multi match and title winning player Bimbo has decided is actually shit. Nobody said he was shit. Only that sucking him off for that performance is hardly warranted. He was okay. He was decent, he was involved and didn't make egregious mistakes. But "outsta...

Yes they could, it just wouldn't be very good. Which is perhaps what is ultimately required. You can't build rugby in any nation starting from the top and hoping for something akin to "trickle down economics" to happen to the player base. It's bullshit. It's a short term quick fix band aid that hur...

Think of those guys on the Eggchasers podcast - Squidge is at the other end of the insight spectrum.

So many of these teams that the ‘experts’ post have what must be deliberate nonsense in them to drive more clicks and shares.

Certain journalists* have built entire careers on it.

*except Stephen Jones who is just a genuine horrible f**king moron.

Grandparents......pretty questionable in my opinion. Though not quite as...

A line-up that screams midweek team. Fairly clear now that Farrell sees yesterday's team as the probables with maybe one or two at most out of this lot having one last chance to make a case for selection for the first test. Obviously Keenan will come in at 15 if Kinghorn is indeed crocked, but othe...

Pack shouldn’t be getting shunted like they are, Patterson is just too slow, and no biff in the centres.

Punter15

There isn't a version of the multiverse where VDM gets selected for the tests ahead of the other wing options, presuming all are fit. VDM is excellent at scoring tries and breaking tackles. He is severely limited otherwise and can be managed out of a game, or at least have his impact significantly ...

Scotland fielding a lot of the bin juice for SA, probably sensible.

Punter15

Scotland made a great job of losing that. Countless fumbles and missed tackles. Paterson in particular was a total fanny, but also appalling bench management leaving players on when they were blowing through their arses.

Punter15

It’s not about what he did way back when, it’s if he merits his pick now.

Punter15

He’d have made my starting side over Lowe cause we have no pace and he has loads Graham over Hansen all day for me. Should have been in the squad in the 1st place Agreed. Hansen was a shite pick, almost entirely without merit. Why the Irish are directing so much crap at VDM. It's all deflection on ...

Punter15

VDM is a lazy bastard. Was he poor? Won't be able to see it until I get home 😪 Mainly he’s lazy, No tracking back, no support for the 15. No work midfield, Doesn’t cover his wing with any depth. Dog shit. Even more horseshit than your usual posts and just as easily dismissed, just look at the line ...

Between the bounce and the pickup, I'd be applauding the attack rather than criticising the defence.
That's a reasonable way to look at it, but vdM showed a total lack of bollocks.

What nonsense.

Scotland tighthead was immense. Could have played for England and not been out of place. Shame about his face -which i believe wasn't intentional.

This would work better if our recent record and world ranking were the other way around. You have brilliant forwards, good halves and brilliant centres. You have a couple of good fullbacks. You just have trash wingers. We have good wingers but I'd prefer your depth in pretty much every other positi...

Ben White? Probably should be, but JVP got the last call up so has been in camp. Obviously White wasn’t available at that point… Wasn't that at least because the English squad was just down the road? So drafting them in for a few days to help with training was logistically extremely simple. Should ...

Hansen and Lowe have been useless so far. Hansen is a turnstile and Lowe is just lazy. Lowe made the first try and his boot has been great. Cleared up the shit pass from Pollock behind his own try line. That’s quite a stretch. He got his fat arse involved in the try and picked up a bad pass under v...

Originally known as a Rory Best Yip-fit It's more consistent like kelleher- just not a great thrower. As message said though Chessum was accross the line out and also had an incredible game.

Ireland. Honestly, if their system rugby doesnt work they really have nothing else to offer. They dont score tries outside of their system. If you can contain their pressure for a bit they are lost.
