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: No Country For Old Men

Is there a real reason why the Japanese league and Super Rugby are clashing? Both comps are short. Either move NRC/ITM or move the Japanese league so players can play in both. Top League is glorified touch rugby, so I can't imagine burnout would be an issue.

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....

At this stage we can't think about trying to replace Sexton in order to get the most out of the 10 shirt, because he probably has the most personal impact on a game that any of the 10s would. It's about how we can improve the games of the midfield and outside backs by having 10 who can do the basics...
