He was certainly the danger man targeted by the Wallabies in 2003 - and taken out by George Smith . That team had played some of the best running rugby earlier in the season ever by the AB’s, it’s hard to do that with a half-back with a lousy pass . He became slow at the ruck to decide well after th...

For some screaming blue murder here at Putins ghastly crimes , worse war crimes get a complete pass from certain posters because they support the Israeli invasion .

Re: All Blacks V France B 2nd Test Match Thread.
I'm not a fan of the rearranging the team for substitutions. It causes disruption and cohesion issues. Outside of injury players should be replaced directly. Having Kirifi on the bench as a substitute for Lio-Willie doesn't make sense. So just to clarify, your gripe of the day is that Robertson is ...

No they don’t, same game plan with a little less kicking, practice under the high ball and sort out the defence. If the disallowed tries had been allowed, everyone would be singing a different tune.

They need to Vernball more. Vernball 2024 style with Clarke (and others) coming in off the wing and taking several strike runs in the first channel.
