Had a look and can see the key ones are: 75’ Sub On - Kwagga Smith (RSA) Sub Off - Mbongeni Mbonambi (RSA) - or was this a HIA 75’ Sub Off - Kwagga Smith (RSA)- must have been HIa? Sub On - Pieter-Steph Du Toit (RSA) 61' Sub Off - Pieter-Steph Du Toit (RSA) - straight replacement Sub On - Kwagga Smi...

The Rjck podcast (-11 mins) Stephen Jones calls South Africa twisters for manipulation of the HIA process to rest players. I only watched the highlights but was this a real issue. How many South Africans went off? What was the context of Jones comment? Anyone read any actual analysis? And what is a...

Watched the highlights last night. Just to say I’m l typically very critical of Jessie K and lamented the limited nature of DDA. Thought both were very good last night - best I’ve seen that combo play. Did laugh at the highlights of Kwagga at the breakdown - two highlights, both times hand on floor ...

What do you think of our forwards now? The ones that Razor coaches all year at the crusaders looked good. Canes players were awesome (as usual) Even the chiefs did Ok. Luckily the shithouse bloos were not involved. Since Ryan got on board it seems not even fozzie can fvck the forwards up. Is that w...

More to do with the fact that it meant Ireland had no scrums / scrum feeds…

Owen Farrell will take out the hooker with an accidental head knock…

Failing that they’ll offer them money….

Obviously glad the good guys won. Massive hats off to Cane and Savea - they were immense. Couple of stats: - Ireland had 60% possession in the second half - Ireland conceded 11 turnovers - Ireland won no scrums the entire game (espn stats) Their inability to use the ball effectively, or loss it, pl...

In terms of attendance- no. Most people are not in France - so doesn’t matter for atmosphere. In terms of rugby it’s not ideal at all - but this is the outcome the draw was always going to produce. In my mind the RWC is not there to be shared around - it’s to identify the best competition team in th...

Cane deserves his spot next week. Other than Telea, I would not change the starting 15 (unless injuries determine otherwise). Agree on Telea. Agree on broader point. I would love to think they are able to utilise subs more effectively (and reduce the burden on players). But that completely depends ...

The less Dalton plays the better he gets apparently….

Just dropping in to say that: - Irish team are still the best in the world because the consistency of performance they achieve means they win those games more than they lose. I hope they smash the 6N and get back on the horse. - Irish supporters - alongside French and ‘Portuguese/Spanish’ countries ...

Imagine in this day and age, all having the union jack on your flag as an 'independent' country? Being ruled by some jug-eared twat half a world away. Too afraid to go it alone. Pathetic.

Went out and got my sausage at the local state school. Speaking to a senior lady in the line who was wearing a robe and compression socks, had this to say “any one who is voting no is just declaring they’re a bit of a cünt aren’t they?” Got a few chuckles from those in the line :lol: Unfortunately ...

I’m terms of RMo I wondered if plan was to take him off and switch to BB at 10 (hence Christie wirh better connection) and DMAC at 15.

Not sure why the camp is called into question when one person is pick up and is not eligible for selection.

It’s Talea’s fault shirley…

Looking at the AB presser, noticed that Foster was extremely fidgety. He doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, especially compared to Andy Farrell who seems so relaxed and excellent with his measured responses. Just my opinion. I haven’t watched him do a presser before. He’s definitely no Steve Hanse...

The stale references are very important. I’d be keen for no more than 4 years in same role / no more than 8 years overall.

I think we'll go Andy Friend. He's been phenomenal for Connacht, and has pretty much been working with scraps, identifying discarded players and getting the best out of them. He's also not currently employed. After his connacht contract finished he took time to travel and watch the rwc as a fan (no...

Team is better than I thought. That is because with Talea out (silly boy) leciester gets a chance - I don’t think he’s there otherwise and doesn’t balance the bench. Including Williams is great. Preference for roigard but as a partner to BB when RMO gets hooked they have the combination. Exciting st...

I know you don’t want another kiwi but Jamie Joseph is a good one.

If Jones leaves it really is a cluster fcuk.

Hamish would have to go.

Good to see Ireland’s team - great that Hansen / Lowe there. Will enjoy watching Aki and Ringrose especially, he’s no BOD but then who is. The other thing that’s great is that they’ll probably be 50k Irish in the stadium creating an awesome atmosphere. Also interesting for me is that for some playe...

Strong view that Leicester is too risky for centre cover off bench.

Barnes as ref - excellent.

He hates the Irish.

Taking this as a sign…

Cohesion has been around for a bit. Interesting to me Ireland are the outliers (most from single cloud) at top end - All Blacks and France are very similar (saders and toulouse), but safas are more fragmented… Interesting. I think Saffas can do that because their game plan is comparatively simple (...
