Re: All Blacks v Los Pumas @ Christchurch (Aug 27) & Hamilton (Sep 3)
Two teams having to rely on emotion to perform. Pumas look flat and NZ responding like they did after SA.
Looking good mind you. That front row is a thing of beauty.

What's an elite 10 in your opinion?Greenavenger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 11:01 pm Noah Lolesio looks like he could become the next elite 10. Very dangerous runner and kicks pretty well in every game i've seen him play.
Any ozzies around that could give a better description of his strengths and weaknesses?

Is Owen Farrell the Jordie Barrett of English rugby? Must admit I've never seen the point of him away from his kicking and no arms high tackles... The best of him is in a saracens shirt. Unfortunately Eddie's been obsessed with the double 10 approach. It hasn't helped that we are constantly waiting...

Nah Sexton is far better at running a backline and better range of passing hence for Lions he is 10, if I needed someone between the 2 to kick a peno to save my life it would be Farrell. Sexton's range of passing is the circle pass to the left and the circle pass to the right. Not only is he a bett...

Women's football in England has been fully professional for 12 years. Presumably, the 14 year old boys haven't been playing academy football since the u3s.
