Why? Who knows how he would ever have transitioned, front row is very different.

When your provincial coach "suggests" you switch and then becomes Bok coach? Do the math

I think Tyrone Green would be a loss too if he is poached. EDIT and JJ Van Der Mescht. If you look at the list of locks I posted earlier JJ isn't even in the top 12 But he's a lot younger, the Boks are quite an old team. JJ is overrated. He's big, slow and lazy, he never had to work and develop ski...

Would he be a loss the the Boks? Nah. He's not even close to the Bok fringes Fair enough. The only player poached by the NH that I felt was a loss was C J Stander. All the others have in my opinion not been Bok material. Would be interesting to know what others think. I won't argue with that. Paul ...

In the end, while the BILs tour might be the inspiration the final product will have to be different because the top teams in women's rugby is vastly different to that in men's rugby.

That's the multi-million dollar question

Ulster have a good backline. Very good scrum half, an okay fly half. Forwards are a little weak. If that is the case and the Lions can dominate the scrums they should enforce scrums as much as possible instead of playing through scrum advantages. Try and tire out the forwards and cut Ulster's "legs...

Ulster's scrum is not strong, especially without Moore (concussion) anchoring from TH and Henderson in the secondrow. We regularly come off second best and give away shit loads of penalties so they're looking at the wrong thing there. Learning experience but remember, it was two props talking :lol:

Saffa sides are playing away from home in front of crowds and missing their top players. They should get better. NH refereeing is of a fairly poor standard from what I've seen. I've only watched all the Saffa games so may be a bit biased. Fair points for sure, albeit they were weaker in the first f...
