Cooper was the best player in his position by miles last season and should be initially picked if we want the best chance of winning a test match against the Poms (and I was way wrong when Cooper was selected last season, he made the team far better - he even tackled )

no

Canes looked incredibly slick vs Fiji, our defence will need to be absolutely on point Massive test over the next two weeks

I retrospect, I am more pleased with this win than defeating the saders A side can always get up to play the big dogs at home But to turn up the following week, be down by a load and grind out a win That suggests shit is moving in the right direction

Good to see us play quite shit and turn it around, some nice moments, but we kept losing our structure :mad:

All these shows are designed to look like "mates" gibbering at a pub

I enjoyed the spin that all things lead back to NZ Aus Super Rugby sides are less terrible, clearly Rennie is driving change and getting deep buy in

The difference, to me, with Perese was (as I understand) he had paid the cost and got his shit together before getting the opportunity I like a good redemption story as much as anyone, but I would want to see that Latu has started AA and has a couple of coins before he starts pre season...

I think, no matter what the coach "says", when a team leaves out a load of 1st picks, the team thinks they are in for an easy game Now a steady rotation of one or two all season looks like an ongoing plan, a load looks like "f*ck it, this lot are the pants, you lot stay at the pub and we will...

Great win, for a change we started well and had to be chased down The saders were always going to come back, we showed again great attitude to hang in there

Maybe, but he also has a UK passport, not one of the imports. And "if" I was young guy, down the pecking order in my Super Rugby side, and got the opportunity to live well in the UK for a couple of years..................

$$$, he wouldn't be on big wages

I think he is too much risk, red cards, overall discipline and to team culture The only caveat would be a commitment to zero booze with no excuses

It he hits his marks in the lineout, holds up the scrum and makes his tackles - job done IMHO

This is the year for these fringe guys to cash up, next year the RWC retirees are all available and their value diminishes

He wasn't crap, he just wasn't a super star Being part of the England structure wasn't helpful for his development There was a good interview with him on the house of rugby https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/house-of-rugby/the-one-where-sam-burgess-zqHLi05IV_k/

Is a rather handy backline
