Re: The best All Round Rugby Player in the World incl. the 2023 RWC.
Who on earth thinks Kwagga Smith is better than Ardie Savea as an all round loose forward? Ardie Savea is 95kg 1.88m and Kwagga Smith 91kg and 1.80m. With such a similar built it is strange that the one plays at nr8 while the other one is at Openside flank. Boks won't play Kwagga at 8 though if the...

I’ll suck off a homeless man if Ardie Savea weighs 95kg.

Re: League players are no good in Union
Half ack ftom leahue to union would be unsuitable because space is given to the leahue halfback to pass. They usually take a step. You need to pass off the ground from union. It's down to the individual but habits is hard to change. The closest to a straight swap would be RL hooker to RU scrum-half...

Re: Finau tackle on Edmed.
Perfectly legal tackle and Edmed got the fudge up and played the rest of the game. His hit on Lynagh was a dog act though but was just a penalty in the game. For some reason (Kiwi ref). https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/1baf3n2/late_shot_on_lynagh/ I was okay with that decision as well. ...

They're clearing the debt at 30c on the dollar, other than employee entitlements. Interesting. I haven’t seen a link - can you share?

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Valetini, Lolesio, Cale and Wright were excellent. Tua even better but I doubt he is eligible. Swain also looked very good along with Lonergen. AAA had a great run for his first game back. Tua is certainly not Eli or, at least AFAIK. Swain is a lock for…..err…. Lock imo. Lolesio played well in atta...

The Rebels need $22m to clear their debt - the group that wants to ‘save’ them are property developers backed by PE, which seems like the worst kind of people imaginable.

Before he got injured. I'm not saying he's a bad player. On the thread at the time I explicitly said he was the player I was most looking forward to seeing play.

Re: The best 5 players in the world right now
Du pont is the best actual player I’ve ever seen. He’s 27 - in 5 years we all might be saying this. We were discussing across the back line. For sheer talent I’ve not seen better. He may not even end up a goat (there’s probably better scrum halves historically). But his ability at all aspects of th...

Re: All Blacks 2024
I realise the Reece has been the best player for the Crusaders creating a lot of the attack and scoring tries but he's also blown a bunch of tries. I wouldn't pick him as a first choice wing at 14. I'd probably go for Narawa or Stephenson at 14. I probably wouldn't include either of Tele'a or Reece...

Certainly needs to be in Wallabies squad along with Wright. Wallabies back row are 3+1.5 are in some order of Valetini, McReight, Wright, Wilson, Swinton, Cale, Kemany, LSL, Uru, Leota. I think we should give Cale another year. This is his first season of professional rugby plus he needs to put on ...

Don't know if the laws allow for it, so this is more of a rugby philosophy point - His arms were up, so it doesn't count as a shoulder.

Doleman has let multiple knock ons go by both teams in this game. Team knocks on. Doleman misses it. Team retains ball. Carry on. Both teams, eh? Yep both teams Towny. Are you feeling hard done by? I didn’t see any Reds’ knock-ons missed, but the Blues deserved the win so don’t feel hard done by.
