Re: Sam Cane - Goooooooooooooone (for good)
Sadly I think I missed them, and the clusterfudge that is current Twitter makes them not easily searchable. He deleted most of them after the "exposé".

Re: Sam Cane - Goooooooooooooone (for good)
The Andrew Tate re-tweets are arguably reason enough to preclude Savea from captain. Personally, I think we might see two players, Barrett and Savea, being appointed co-captains. With injuries a constant in Rugby, and players being rotated throughout the season, the reality is that multiple players...

Re: Sam Cane - Goooooooooooooone (for good)
Always wondered if his almost career ending neck injury forced him subconciously to go into tackles more upright than he should to protect it.

Which is why they've been the recent Irish recipients of the player of the year award. Oh. Wait. Hmmmmm. :P I imagine that’s been the likes of Doris (he back in form yet, genu...

Good hard fought win with the rain sheeting down. Bester looks to be a future Bok. I'd imagine quite a few of these players would go on to play pro and test rugby. Yeah agreed. So it all comes down to points difference on Sunday with every team on one win each. NZ only team without a loss.
