I'm concerned that you're concerned.

Don't think it should go either way. As Cyclo already mentioned, the punishment should be for the act - not the outcome.

Not sure if the two are really comparable - Matty barely had a hold on the other player's leg before TK came in and tried to drill him straight back to the Southern Hemisphere.

I think I had a few too many last night and slept through the match! Will have to catch it sometime tomorrow when I've got some down-time. Does seem like it was a pretty even outcome based on everything I've read about the match so far.

So - Nadolo or Naiyo? Qwerty, do your worst.

We're going to need to win the midfield if we want to go wide on Wales or England anyway. Wales run their defense outside-in and almost always have a shooter in the 13-15 channel to try and cut off any wide play on early phases, shepherding the ball towards the midfield. It lets them cover up...

It's also Gee Rob. For all we know she heard some chatter in a bathroom and decided to write about it.

He's also hitting the line to set his runners up, working his ass off in support to get second touches and extend plays, and tackling like a fucking demon. We've been playing a 9 at 10 all season and finally found some kind of fluency in our attack last week - our season is also effectively...

No, I don't think so. It may be your phrasing - but I don't see how any of that would help make Hooper/Pocock more viable.

Comparing Lomu to anyone is just a silly exercise, like I said above - he was a freak (even by today's standards) playing amongst players who nearly across the board would be physically dominated by their modern opposites. This was the basis upon which most of his legendary status was built...

Too bad for Taqele that he already had his run against pretty much the only 85kg center still playing professional rugby. Jonah sort of had a career full of them, playing for the best team in the world. No player will ever have that kind of physical dominance at test level ever again thanks to...

There were more players of Pacific Island heritage than there were of Scottish Heritage in the 2013 British and Irish Lions touring squad. There are over 180 players of Pacific Island heritage (just Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga) playing Tier 1 Domestic Rugby in Europe. There are French clubs that...

They'd have to be a special guy. That plan has backfired on us hard on the past, which is part of the reason we ended up with Tolkin. I'm just not sure if USAR understood that when he said that he was going to pull from the local pathways that he meant he was going to repeatedly play...

Test is beyond quality but I'm not even totally sure where we slot him in after that performance. He'd make one hell of a super-sub off of the bench the way things are looking now. The side didn't just look balanced, they struggled to find a facet of play that they didn't dominate - and I...

Baker and Isles are obviously the show-ponies but Bender, Duratalo, Barrett, Hughes, etc. were my collective MVPs. It's much easier for the gas guys to look good when the forwards are playing with the physical dominance that they were and the halves are making the right decision 95% of the time...

Did you watch the match? His defense was farkin' excellent. He sort of demolished Jonathan Davies and a few other guys.

:D

This was worth pushing off work until later in the day for. Fuck yes.

Agreed - Wallabies buildup to the RWC 2011 caught the attention of a lot of guys I know who don't normally watch any test rugby outside of the 6N (and that's mostly because our sponsor would host the matches in their pub on a huge projection screen). Kurtley Beale actually even became a bit of...

"Now NSW will focus their attention on retaining his services for next season. Naiyaravoro has a deal with the Scottish Rugby Union to join Edinburgh but is believed to have a get-out clause should he be capped by the Wallabies. On current form he would deserve a test call-up anyway...
