And is there any chance of something like this having happened re his listed age:

I have been a massive Marika fan but I would bring into question his selection for the Spring tour to be honest. With Pietsch, Toole, Jorgensen plus the incumbents I think we are strong there. Anyone know Daugunu’s status? He was playing that Koroibete type role brilliantly this year.

Literally googled what happened to this guy the other day. Would also put his hand up for unfulfilled talent world XV.

Would love to have kept him but his relative place in the picking order means that I was resigned to losing him and Grealy if they found other opportunities, which they did. He wasn’t demanding selection or anything like that and whilst his size is valuable it’s not like he was doing a 2014 Kerevi.

Eddie lost his mind coaching us. There was near total praise of his appointment at first on these pages. I genuinely think it was unforseeable how badly he went off the rails. If Joe can at least maintain some level of thought process rather than going off vibes, dreams and slogans then we will...

If they haven’t realised the synergies of vertical integration yet well then I guess they haven’t been doing enough kaizens.

Would kill for Pat McCabe at 13 right now

That is genuinely incredible

I think Wilson has done well as captain leading from the front but I’d like to have seen him step up and tell White to stfu at that low point last test. Realistically they are executing on a very, very set plan as is their job at the moment and he or Wright will have a chance to grow into the...

There are heaps of guys that size in League that probably couldn’t find a home in the forwards given they’re not technical enough for 7 and not quite big enough for 6 or 8. I’m also a little suspect on that height and weight for Hindmarsh to be frank. Looking at Gallen in real life he’s not a...

Strong agree Dru. The rugby public has become convinced that what is a strength of the game is actually a weakness. I think there are a few refs and possibly a few law interpretations that undermine the spectacle occasionally. All that would be needed is to ref the contest in such a way that...

I think Lote was significantly better than Del. Del had the benefit of more incredible players in their prime inside him and when that stopped he stopped being effective. Lote was genuinely good at rugby.

Why can no one else see how clever I am indeed

If you look at the advertising RA do on buses, newspapers, etc they actually do a lot in terms of quantity against the other codes. You don’t see NRL games being advertised, punters search out that info. AFL and NRL just have so much more word of mouth and especially news and gambling presence...

So many players whose reputations are enhanced on the forum by their not actually playing. Is there a single player available actually knocking the door down? It’s fairly obvious to me that the players are being taken back to preschool by Schmidt in an effort to get them playing 2024 test rugby...

With all of those changes and the match being played in Argentina I’d say this is the best chance of a springbok loss this championship. It’s going to be 37 degrees with not that much humidity which should suit them too.

What da heck? Train and trial deal? He is way too good for that. Proven super player. Hope there’s more to the story for his sake, maybe he has other irons in the fire.

We had an embarrassment of riches in the back row at that time until very suddenly we didn’t, marked by the inexplicable cessation of Fardy’s career and injuries blunting Pocock’s impact at the same time jackalling became harder under the laws. Kimlin would have done very well if they had still...
