Yeah mate, how much S14? How many pool games involving other nations? How much bullshit? I'm with Reg, rugby fans don't get anything out of this. I disagree about employment and/or foxtel. I refuse to pay dammit! And Newstart just wouldn't cover it anyway...

Lie at weigh in... Just a thought

Christ I saw Cummins and freaked, thought you meant Nick. Eep. Then I saw you were talking about 2nd row. Phew.

You obviously didn't hit it hard enough :D j/k I can't agree more that Genia (or anyone else) shouldn't play unless 100% fit in the next year.

Squads for most if not all provinces are finalised, and few would have the $$$ to fork out regardless. To Europe he shall go... Personally, I don't think a world cup year is the best time to begin an experiment like that - you want 12mths to get used to the game, 12mths establishing a pedigree...

I think we can agree (and most on the forum should) that Steenkamp was one of, if not the most improved player in international football this year. A truly revelatory season from a guy previously considered something of a powderpuff. Well, as I just said Steenkamp was most improved this year...

It'll probably be ripped off in the first five minutes. I also always found that "protective padding" tended to just make me more conscious of an injury/sore spot and more likely to favour it. I prefer being hit hard, lots, just beforehand so it's numb when I run out (and it gets BETTER during...

It's not a hugely convenient location for Stade de France but I can recommend this place http://www.hotelvaladon.com/. I stayed there last time I was in Paris, with friends. All three of us loved it. But as I say, there'd be closer for the purpose.

I do think that all those rankings could change significantly in the next twelve months, too. For instance, if SAf play Smit as bench hooker not starting tighthead it could immediately improve their ranking... Similarly if Sheridan pops a hammy, England drop a couple of places etc etc. Am I...

I think it's worth noting that, like in rugby, a worse scrum can beat a better scrum on its day. It's not an infallible system. I reckon my list would look something like: 1. France (+4) 2. Italy (+10) 3. Argentina (+4) 4. England (=) 5. New Zealand (-4) 6. South Africa (-3) 7. Wales (+2) 8...

I was taught to squeeze that motherfucker tight and not let go. That and long place (maybe egg-laying) are all a prop need. Actually TBH they did say something about blah blah both hands blah challenge line blah create opportunities. I was busy counting clover.

Giteau's fucking Thumbelina :D

Automatic being the operative word. I strongly hope that he wouldn't have been selected at 8, but with Deans never say never. Perhaps we shall have to agree to disagree on this one.

...said the priest to the altar boy

Mate give it up, Smith retired because he'd had it both physically and mentally. Pocock had taken his starting side, Hodgson was at the least breathing down his neck and he was operating on reputation. He did the right thing by himself and the Wobs retiring when he did - it takes a big man to...

I like your team better than mine. I shall steal it.
