He's a big lump, question as always is if he can be more. you're talking about Gray, yes? 6ft 4, 107kg and got very decent pace for his size - certainly has the raw tools to be a decent 12 IMO Yep. I remember seeing the odd bit from him, if he's been doing well at 7s then he should have the pace ne...

I demand Robshaw misses the Australia tour

Tbf most people said at the time Lancaster was flogging him when there was an opportunity for rest.

Any rumours on Lewington? if he goes to a decent club he could be in contention. He was apparently making pretty positive noises about staying at a supporters evening last night. We'll see, but it wouldn't surprise me if he stuck around and did a Pennell (albeit not exactly a home town club) Is Sym...

Did I see somewhere that bottica is off to France? If so quims have jackson. Has Evans got another season in him? Not a full season I doubt- looks like his body is giving up, still a quality player but he's going to be more coaching focused I think? I expect quins to sign a decent 10 from somewhere.

When he was told he wasn't welcome in the uk- i wonder if that's f**ked the speshul relationship

Otterbox again. Awesome bits of kit. Had mine for nearly 2 years and it's survived everything I've thrown at it (and remember what I do for a living). One word of warning. It doesn't protect your phone when you get pissed and leave it on the night bus. As I did two weeks ago. Yep I've got an iPhone...

What NZ realised (quite some time ago) is that good rugby players come in all shapes/sizes/speeds. Whilst they always have some quality finishers in their teams, they are not afraid to pick people who might not appear all that physically gifted (size/speed). They could have picked bigger and more e...

Certainly agree with the tip of the iceberg comments, I know a few pros and their bodies are fecked, they'll be needing new hips and knees at 40- they already chomp industrial amounts of Meds. The Chieka row with Jackman always comes back to mind.

DragsterDriver

Watson and Brown play in parts of the field where NZ are ludicrously stacked with quality. Neither are poor players per se but New Zealand have the best fullback on the planet and a conveyor belt of smart, physically talented wingers. I'd say we potentially have a slight edge in the front row , run...

I see everyone has already forgotten Clifford's valuable and important interventions in the latter stages of a couple of 6N games this season. This bored... Not here, I think he's a quality player, but I happen to like underhill as well. Apparently I have to choose between them though? How about ma...

DragsterDriver

Wallace has been excellent, nailed on Saxon I guess.

DragsterDriver

I don't think i was advocating Clifford be dropped. Anyone advocating Underhill to a test slot is doing exactly that. Why so? Assuming one wouldn't play two inexperienced flankers in a game against the Aussies, you'd have to drop one to play the other. Clifford is nailed on starting then yes? Really?

DragsterDriver

Not in disagreement, but to talk about leapfrogging a player like Clifford means he'd have to be significantly better and, to my mind, I don't think he is. PR hype. Always the same. Not sure why you're hyping clifford. Always the same. Not hyping Clifford but he's part of a 6N winning squad and a y...

You're setting the kid up for a fall.

I'm not setting him up for anything, I'm not his agent. My opinion is there ^^

So what you're really saying is he rushes out of the line looking for big hits.

Watch the guy play.

DragsterDriver

Regarding all the hype about Sam Underhill, I'd say send him on the Saxons tour to lock him in. What benefit taking up a 1s tour spot if you can't select him on his return and for the next couple of years? Continue with the promotion of the youngsters in Clifford and Itoje, and natural squad evolut...

I fear malinder isn't tough enough for 12 and not agile enough for 15- he's massive already. Any injury could kill his pace stone dead, plus he's still filling out.

I'm not sure about Underhill starting the first test. It's a massive ask for a 19 year old to make their debut against Hooper and Pocock in any circumstance, so I think he'd have to stand-out to a ridiculous extent in training for Eddie to make that call. debuts: pocock 20 hooper 20 mccaw 21 Underh...

So would it be 6 back-rowers in the touring squad then? for me: Ewers, Vunipola, Underhill, Robshaw, Kvesic, Haskell. Clifford misses out, and obviously too Beaumont since the 6 nations. It feels as though we should be filtering out one of Robshaw/Hask, but as yet, there seems no reason for excessi...

Launch is also looking stronger and stronger, making more and more carries, offering himself up a lot and a fair few are quite useful. Needs to get his lineout calling sorted, may help with Tom Taylor throwing in next season, but I think he's probably pushing hard, at the very least I don't see him...

DragsterDriver

hughes and beaumont aren't touring? I know that, speculation for the future. I do agree that a Ewers + BV pairing just doesn't cut it for me, unless you had a quick tall 7. Going forward I'd imagine hughes is nailed on, beaumont is very unlucky and may miss the boat completely. For Aus it's hard to...

I still don't see what Ewers can do at 6 that Billy couldn't, and then that frees up the 8 shirt for a proper lineout option in Beaumont? Wasps may fancy losing to Irish. An away semi to a tired Sarries sounds more appealing in some ways to an away semi to a once again rested Chiefs. Albeit our boy...
