Re: Showpiece of the year, Leinster v Munster

Leinster can't stop cheating. Murray clearly tackled Larmour to the ground then released and rolled away to get back in the line. It's not like he tripped Larmour and didn't bring him to ground. Attacker and defender hit the ground together in the tackle, and then the attacker got back up without re...

Re: The All Black midfield

Do people realise Laumape is 5’9 and 95kg? He’s a better option than J.Barrett, but he’s not striking fear into Test teams. I agree that he's not the dominant physical pressence that Canes-twats like to make out. He's around 10 cm shorter and 12kg lighter than Ma'a Nonu, yet they expect him to ply ...

Please pick Jordie at 12. Please. Just gonna throw this out there.. It's no secret that Razor attempted to lure J.Barrett away from the Hurricanes in 2019 to pair with Goodhue in the midfield after R.Crotty left. My suggestion of moving Jordie to second-five for the All Blacks isn't so far-fetched....

How do you fit this with the rest of international games, the domestic leagues and the European Cup?
6N already takes 7 weeks, which is the perfect length for an 8 team comp.

The best best long term for the Jaguares, outside a fully professional South American League, would be to play in the Pro 18.
