True to his nature, AC makes the most conservative choice. Who else would be considered a nailed on selection (or near enough) and also have some experience captaining a top flight side? It was always going to be the Beast or Strauss wasn't it? The calls for WW were just wishful thinking. He'll be ...

Beast! He captained the best S18 side in South Africa.

Great player. Not a good captain. Watching him whinge to referees in numerous matches is cringe-worthy.

So Adriaan Strauss the captain I assume?

Or maybe Eben?

My issues with the squads Bongi ahead of Marx Nic Groom ahead of Ross Cronje - in fact Cronje not in either squad Steven Kitshoff - no reason to pull in an uncapped player from overseas Agree Marx better than all 3 hookers but will replace scarra. Ross Cronje and P van Zyl better than Groom AC rewa...

Waldrom's bulk is missed.

Too often last night he drifted out to the wing to seagull. He was wearing the number 13 but on at least 8 or 9 occasions last night he pushed his wingers in & settled outside. Seagulling ?. He doesn't mind scoring tries & being on the end of the chain ensures a healthy number of them but last nigh...

Nobody is mentioning Flo, BdP, etc. Has it been announced that European-based players are being given the June tours off? Nope, still to be seen. Habana is not available but that is the only one that is confirmed out so far afaik. I hope AC takes the post-RWC opportunity to break with some of the p...

If you pick anyone a bit out of the ordinary, there's no way of knowing if you're rating on ability or not. Then the discussion ends up not being about rugby, and the thread goes to shit. "Notshe/Kolisi/Tera" are not similar players at all. I agree there isn't enough solid information to base it on...

I haven't waded back through the entire fred yet. Has the best possible and currently healthy "politically correct" side been put forth yet? I just tried and it is a difficult thing.

And Eben has only been back for 40 minutes of rugby. I've been getting fond of RG Snyman. He is a proper hard man - any chance of seeing him in mix?

dt678

Claassens is an interesting shout. We didn't get a proper look at him while Reinach was still healthy but the Sharks looked very good in New Zealand with him at the helm. Though I still think Faf is in the 9 jersey at this point.

Need to get Ruan Pienaar to Montpellier to run with the cat killer.

From time to time I stop in to see how the Springbok selections are coming along. Carry on gentlemen...

Still a bit surprised at Leroy Houston. One of the better backrowers in England the last few years, this season he has been quiet and frankly hasn't played a huge amount of rugby this year. Probably speaks more to the state of the Australian number 8 stocks than his form...

We should be a bit concerned about who is behind this company, Integrated Sport. Has anyone heard of them before?

Flankers - meltdown :lol: Something of a war of attrition there. Only the English have maintained any test consistency with injuries and unsettled selections for the other sides.

Should also be pointed out this is "European-qualified" players, not "Players based in Europe". Also, the way things work currently your results only count once you become European. So CJ Stander only has his results from after the RWC included.

This is generated from match statistics from test and club rugby of the last 12 months, with recent results weighted more heavily: http://www.rugby.net/g/EU.html So RWC, 6N, Euro Cups, AP, PRO12, T14 and the odd RWC warm-up test. Some interesting trends, such as the fact that Alex Goode was the top-...

Thought Reddan was key in the first 15. I thought Ulsters centres were grand bar a couple of dropped balls. Serious gainline from both which was negated by lack of it from elsewhere. Leinster were far better elsewhere though which gave their backs more room. All round better team won. You can't say...

dt678

Random thoughts: I thought Ringrose was quite handy, though I'm not sure his slipperiness will translate to test rugby. He most likely would have been smashed long before regaining the gainline on the Heaslip try. Ian Henderson is the real deal. Sexton outplayed Paddy Jackson. Other than the one scr...
