Isn't Barbeary a bit of a unit? Yep - pretty mobile though - started as a centre, then Hooker now Backrow. 24 tries in 35 senior appearances !! Bad injury profile! Rumours of Daly and Ford starting, Tuilagi to bench. Tbh as expected. He's keeping continuity. Do I actually rate Muir or Roebuck, in r...

Another statto I'm nabbing from the RugbyPod on analysis today, tackles made after 4 games by each of the teams: 1. Italy 754 tackles (Av of. 188.5 per game) 2. Wales 626 tackles (Av of. 156.5 per game) 3. Scotland 559 tackles (Av of. 139.75 per game) 4. Ireland 543 tackles (Av of. 135.75 per game) ...

Wendigo7

Well, I'd like to see Roebuck given a chance. Worry if he's fast enough to deal with Baille Bairrey though.

I think we have half a chance, but in the next squad selection can we please have more faster wingers like Waboso?

Is it just Radwan who has express pace?

It's also the psychology for the team too. When steward plays, it's mentally easy for the on field leaders to ask up and unders all the time. It's a comfort zone or blanket that they go to regardless of the tactics.

With furbank that's not an option, so we default to wanting to run it.

Guy Pepper called up. CCS out with the injury.

Wendigo7

No need for that, anyway I'm off to jump into the Atlantic. I’m not suggesting anything suspect. Wasn't the drink some sort of extreme caffeine based concoction. Anyone recall? This was it! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2016/10/12/paul-oconnell-interview-i-wanted-to-find-alastair-campbell...

Wendigo7

When the option is Steward, i'm teamFurbank. Steward is the Faz of fullbacks. Faz and Steward are better than that. Happy that we've moved on to open up our style of play but no point knocking those players etc. Also long term I'd like Josh Hodge to be looked at, once he's bulked up a couple of cyc...

Wendigo7

Furbank reminds me of Daly's first season at fullback for England (around 2018-19) - initially quite effective as teams had gotten used to handling Mike Brown, but always a sense that there's significant shortcomings in his high-ball and defence that could be exposed once teams figure him out When ...

There's some hate for Crowley online which is typical and bizarre at the same time. He had a generally ok game with really excellent contributions in attack. This is despite being behind a whipped pack. Crowley wasn't the issue at all, it was the backrow getting beat up all 80 mins which did the da...

Wendigo7

Anyway. Back to the game. Really happy. Attacked looked pretty handy. Basic in many respects but I'm happy enough with that. Played with a desire to go wide, keep the ball alive and with intent. All I can ask for in the short term. Irelands backrow got bitchslapped which I didn't expect at all. Gene...

Wendigo7

Dai, it's ok to be wrong btw.

We all didn't see that coming. Doubling down and saying... regardless he should go, and the team needs lots of changes that I want.. seems very salty and childish.

Wendigo7

Dai step away from the keyboard ffs.

Oh. Wait.
I'd wager Welsh are not unhappy with that result today.

The irish welsh rivalry isnt that bad is it army?

Awesome debut from Bearman Brilliant. The race was rubbish and in the end I was just watching him... and getting some amusement watching Haas' strategy work to perfection. :lol: Wonderful wonderful drive, keeping pace with Alonso and Russell with barely any practice at all is fantastic. Ferrari thi...

Ollie :thumbup: :thumbup: P11. A red flag stopped him getting a time that gets him into Q3. Youngest ever Ferrari driver. Youngest ever Brit, 3rd youngest ever F1 driver. Max, Charles, Lando, Lewis etc all had months to practice with sim and with the car and loads of laps to get up to speed with the...

Wendigo7

In light of today's selection, could this actually be part of a continuation of Borthwick transitioning his team to a more well rounded one, or is it some sort of semi-desperation gambit based on how he plans opposition-specific tactics? I suppose next week's selection could tell us more, but he's ...

So safer than UK big court costs then. Shall we all be honest the messages are real. Horner is scrabbling away because the costs are so high for him now. Almost life or death considering his poisonous personality flaws. Its definitely punished a lot milder. I hope for her sake she doesnt live in th...

you know what, I think at the very least max is probably talking to toto about moving to Mercedes looking at his comments.

Max and George vs Lewis and Charles

Lets go!

Seniors:
Italy 23 Scotland 24
England 25 Ireland 27
Wales 19 France 18

U20s:
Italy 26 Scotland 9
England 31 Ireland 13
Wales 16 France 17

:blush: Probably. Also - minor thing. Why is the BBC running pollock this morning as a front page news story? He's really talented, but for a kid who's played essentially 30 mins senior rugby at all, and barely any Under 20s, do we need him being hyped up this much on the national news website? One ...

Hawk deciding to support Max or Redbull in 2026. :nod: Definitely Max if he goes Merc (he won’t). It will be hilarious if he won in a merc after Lewis has been unable to because it’s no longer a rocket ship :lol: that would be amazing Again, he's going to have to beat George first. And as it's roug...

I'm going to have to take back all the nasty things I've said about Max aren't I?

Hawk deciding to support Max or Redbull in 2026. :nod: I reckon Max to Merc in 2025 is no longer out of the question either. Max and George in the same team I think atm is half a shot. This week has been ridiculous: Head of F1 and motorsport under investigation for race fixing. Saudi 2023. Alpine s...

I'm not sure what's more tedious Max dominating F1 on a level never seen before Bimbo generally (I would say on this thread but truthfully is bimbo on every thread). Yet more fool me I keep hitting display after blocking him It's horrific to watch Max be this dominant. Nothing against the guy, wond...

Let’s all listen to Johnny come lately. :lol: Fair point. But it is entirely stupid to label him the ‘most talented man of all time’. Stupid or trolling. Probably both. It actually isn’t though. Started watching in 92? What for a season, then stopped until recently? The most talented natural driver...

That merc is fast. 1 2 for Merc in Practice 2.

Longer runs. Max was 36.8, Perez 36.9, both mercs exactly the same time on 37.0, Ferrari, McLaren and Aston Martin 37.1.

Wendigo7

It just doesn’t seem to matter who plays, they play beneath their level. Millar Mills, 3rd choice (?) at Saints coming on and doing absolutely fine against apparently world class and highly experienced Marler. Furbank and Lawrence have been carving the GP up, they throw passes into touch for Englan...

I see Katie Buchanan looked good for Exeter again at the weekend. You could see her break into the england XV if she keeps playing like this.
