Re: Big Joe McCarthy

Definitely see the Itoje comparison. Just very annoying to play against. Rock hard and very disruptive. With a huge work rate to go with all that power. Itoje really turned England from the fairly good team they were under Lancaster (and Farrell) into champions with Eddie Jones. Farrell undoubtedly...

Re: France vs Ireland Official 2024 6N Match Thread

I thought Karl Dickson had a great game. Did think Willemse should have got red for the first shoulder charge. I thought he was awful (but consistently awful) at the ruck. Side entries and dubious turnovers aplenty made for an interesting game at least. Lately refs seem to be very tolerant of side ...

Re: Tony Brown on the Boks radar

Always enjoyed Brown as a player. Tough little bugger and pragmatic at 10.

A welcome addition to the Bok effort.

And loads of thanks to the departed Felix Jones - Godspeed at England.

Has any high-end ref ever been a prop? Australian Wayne Erickson is the last I know of Good enough reason to never let it be tried again. The man hadn’t a fcukin scooby. After the “let’s get the Yaroies” email scandal broke, he was the one ref whose stats involving saffa teams changed dramatically.
