To be fair he's good in attack but there are glaring issues to his game.

He's playing very well. Needs to be whipped off fairly early in the second half.terryfinch wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 11:41 am
It’s his defence that’s impressed me. I knew he was good in attack.

VDM's defense is the reason he won't make a test squad.

At the moment lots of speculation with a few ideas. - take off appears to be from an intersection so not full runway length - which for a 787 loaded with PAX for a 8 hour flight would be extremely marginal (the flight track indicates only 1800 or so metres of runway used as opposed to 2800 as the s...

Can't see anyone surviving that. And I'd bet quite a few on the ground will be casualties as well. Straight into a built up area, full tanks, instant fireball. Didn't seem to have any power on, and apparently the crew got off a mayday call. Very unusual to lose power on both engines at the same tim...

Agreed, and I wish/ hope to fcuk the active search for a different option remains very active.

But all eggs in these two bas...

Re: URC QF, Sharks v Munster
First of all, he wasn’t obstructed. The ref chose to make him wait. Crowley could have taken the kick. Second even if Heindrikse was in the way there was no shot clock or other deadline so Crowley was always going to get his shot at goal. Thirdly, and most importantly, no ref in the history of reff...
