Re: World Rugby reads my Posts- 20min Red cardsds
I thought your argument was that this was because 'accidental' high challenges were ruining the spectacle for casual australian punters? But now it's for thuggery? If you reduce the penalty, you increase the incidence. Not if you increase ban length. At the moment it is a joke. 6 weeks. 3 off for g...

Re: Ponies v MP
Looking decent so far, happy to see how much Toole is getting involved. He's not just standing on his wing hoping for the ball.
Wright slowly playing himself into form as well, after a woeful start to the year.

Re: LRZ
Yes for a Linebacker. LRZ’s USP was his speed, and is trying out for a WR. He isn’t wowing anyone at all with those times at WR. He’s got nothing to offer an offensive coordinator. There is no tape of him running routes, beating a DB, making contested catches, run blocking, “football IQ”. He needed...

I'm ambivalent on the not straight, refs don't call not straight line outs all the time when there's no jump already and imo throwing it straight at a restart is a key part of rugby as it's a contest for possession at all times (just like the scrum).
