Whatever happened to Special K's match attendance analysis? I used to enjoy those.

Jim Lahey

I may be wrong but it looked like he missed a bad tackle in the build up to NZ's 3rd try.

But then again defence was optional from a lot of players yesterday.

Jim Lahey

Stockdale continues to live off past glories - currently not up to it. Coombes is so disappointing. Why can't he do in green what he can do in red? The same can be said of Timoney and Prendergast tbf. The power they exhibit at URC level just not where it needs to be for international rugby based on...

Yeah but given he was ACTUALLY at the game, his opinion is more important than rest of our's.

Combined.

Jim Lahey

Against my better judgement I've stuck a score on Wales today.

No pressure boyos, but I do not forgive and I do not forget.

Jim Lahey

Not sure what game these lads were watching.

Shit one mate. Obviously nowhere near as bad as your condition but I've had a back spasm all week and also managed to catch the cold, meaning that every time I sneeze I'm in agony. Getting off the shitter is a 5-step process as well but I'm on the mend, yesterday and this morning so far have been mu...

Can't even win a high ball here

Who threw that pie at 6ft 4 Stockdale?

Jim Lahey

The whole pack is a mile off the standard required.

And the backs.

And the subs.

Doesn't excuse his dogshit first up tackling tbf.

There's a q of them for the whole team.

Ah there it is

Coombes losing 5 yards picking from the base then we get turned over next phase

That is utterly disgraceful from the pack.

Jim Lahey

Hard to judge the backline in attack, the pack is getting hammered.

Hume running down blind alleys clearly ain't working off 1st phase.

Jim Lahey

For Hume

Not good.

I wonder if Hume will get pulled from tonight's game if McCloskey has to start?
Supposedly JOB pulled he can cover centres/wing and fullback

Ah right, never realised he played centre before. Makes sense.

Jim Lahey

so henshaw is a doubt Not good. I wonder if Hume will get pulled from tonight's game if McCloskey has to start? It’ll likely be Stockdale. I'd rather have Hume at 23 given Ringrose could cover wing (Hume could probably make a decent fist of it as well), than have a back 3 player on the bench and no...

I'm following the first rule of being a dad here.

My eldest is 6 (nearly 7) and plays footy 3 times a week and is in general an active and healthy kid. Recently I've got her into 3km jogs once or twice a week, just as a bit of Daddy time and to hopefully start building good habits for the rest of her life. She seems to enjoy it and we always have a...

Utter waste of money when no one wants to move to a backward desert shithole run by a medieval cabal.

A shame the nations couldn't get thgether and damand they won't show if FIFA don't move the world cup. I feel these protests are for show and lack any real intent. Like Denmark's sham protest I didn't catch what they did? Hummel, their kit sponsor didn't want their name on the WC jersey so I think ...

I'd love to see them beat NZ on Saturday tbf. Fair fvcks to them if they do. I know some of the Welsh bordies are cvnts but most Welsh rugby folk I've met IRL are sound.

The Welsh had a very good side in the early 2010s tbf. Biggar, Warbs, Tips, AWJ, Faletau, Charteris, L'Idiot, Owens, Jiffy Jnr, Roberts, 1/2p, North etc. The issue is that most of those lads will likely form the basis of their 2023 WC team. Not enough top quality players coming through the Welsh sys...

There are a few big names left out this year. Italy being the main one.

Qatar is such an irredeemable shithole I sincerely hope a series of bombing and assassinations prevents the event from proceeding. Well that's a pleasant thing to say :uhoh: I assume your hope is for these things to happen only to the Qataris/other national delegations but for the Aussies to be OK?...
