They're going to end the November tests a week earlier as a compromise.

Won't that not fly for players playing in the AP?

You do get some freaks like JJ Watt who are 10-12% body fat at 135ish kgs. Mind you, he's 6"5 and much older and more developed.

This kid could settle at about 120 and still be a machine.

Zakar

The German rugby team will be pleased. They need him for their game against the ruskies.

Zakar

Here's the definitive: he was 135kgs at the start of pre-season. He's now 128kgs. He recorded 10% body fat; only the halfback, wing and reserve fullback have a lower percentage. The reserve prop who came on at the end of that game was 150 kegs at the start of the season, down to 142kgs. Jesus that ...

I actually like Loops team the best so far...

Our 135 kgs fatties is better with the off load then the side step. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10308084_402182449922945_6200441970272284945_n.jpg If that fucker is 13 I'll break my ribs until I can suck my own cock.

He's from Tonga, seems to be a fan of league and union, but interestingly a fan of both the Wallabies and ABs. Sounds like we could poach him, or maybe should poach him before league does.

Started watching this series from season 1 last week. Have caught up to ep 3 of season 4. All I have to say at this point is that the author is a plum for massacring House Stark. I demand Walder Frey and Roose Bolton's heads on spikes!! That is all. It just doesn't work like that Well, it might wor...

Henry Speight is apparently ready to go, well timed considering the loss of Joe Tomane

Enjoyed that episode. Trial was obviously superbly acted and watched the promo for next episode, it will be good to see the Mountain. Dont really care about the stuff in the Eyrie, all a bit boring. Mormont must not be leaving Dany at all, hard to see how it can come out now about him being a spy b...

Are the players judged on current form or the peak of their careers?

I guess people felt certain positions had less depth than 7. I got lucky basically.

Judged on 2014 form and don't need to worry about current small knocks etc.

Zakar

We've been just scraping by of late. Some running rugby in the dry might be a shock to the system. Will be much closer than you think.

He's a mini-me compared to other international no 8s. One of the most successful no.8s of the pro-era, Rodney So'olialo, was significantly smaller than LW. Seems like some posters will come up with any excuse to deny Whitelock his place in the squad. Rodney So'olialo is listed at 190 112. So, about...

It's also clear that Liam Squire has significantly more X Factor than Luke Whitelock. X factor is for sevens players and wannabe pop stars. I like consistent, reliable performers who have the skillset and physical attributes required to play their position. 190 104 is a bit small for an 8. You're t...

Surprised Picamoles lasted this long, #8 is the most important position on the pitch in my mind. The world's backrow stocks, including 8, are pretty deep. There's still plenty of options left I'd personally be more than happy to have. Some of them aren't even Pacific Islanders True. 10, 12 and 2 ar...

Doesn't seem fair. Just let him have make up picks whenever he sees this thread - that is penalty enough without booting him.

It is also a given that Moore, Slipper, Horwill, Genia, Cooper, Toomua and Kuiridrani will start in the first test if injury free. How is it a given? Slipper's just been suspended for nearly a month for being a mong. Horwill isn't playing particularly well. Cooper is playing poorly. Genia looked a ...

Reds won't name their team until tomorrow. Apparently they are toying with the idea of playing Simmons at 6 with Ed O'Donaghue at lock.

God, Simmons at 6.

As much as it pains me to pick this many Kiwis - McCaw proved against the Brumbies his form is still Vintage, and Cruden was playing very well prior to his thumb injury - which is just 6-8 weeks out. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/columnists/2012/11/25/1353851818098/Richie-McCaw-All-B...
