What’s our backline?

Pete Samu could play 12 if Koro isn’t fit?

Or that the same game plan that won last week won’t be analyzed and picked apart by the other side.

Not much of a spectacle is it

Okeefe is going to sue world rugby later in life from industrial deafness due to blowing his whistle all the time

Kellaway 15, Hodge 12?

Pitch is getting tested, so many scrums

Just home from that game, big night. Yeah one of the tries there was a massive explosion of sand as a player dived over. Not sure the surface is up to it yet.

But if they do that, how do we air our petty enmities?

As I said earlier, Vermulen has stayed down twice at games I’ve watched to earn a red card for the opposition and Saffa props are always injured before a scrum so their teammates can have a breather. but you’re right, if you watch club footy there’s no video refs so less players staying down...

Agreed. He’s also a victim of his reputation. He feels he’s got to make a big impact in every moment, instead of working himself back into form. But with the injury toll, the options aren’t great.

No, he shit himself and kind of stopped. Thus Koro puts his head in front (not a good thing) attamps wrapping with both arms. If he gets cited, you are right and everyone else is wrong. EDIT: sorry, catching up on the chat. No need to reply as it’s been done to death.

Might be true, but I’ve seen two occasions when Vermulen has stayed down to get the opposition a red. And how about all the times a South African tight five forward has become “injured” or slipped a knot on a shoelace prior to a scrum?

Thanks for the info

Maybe he’s still based in LA from the Giltinis and was an easy call up for an injury?

You’re right he's not quite there at present. But I reckon Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) is pretty close. It’s a pity he has to show his worth in the Shute Shield, but at least it’s finals. Another strong Super Rugby year and he should be in contention

On the above, how’s Meakes go at 7s? Never seen him play that format. And caps in 7s is tournaments?

Many of us thought JOC (James O'Connor) wasn’t our 10 before the test.

It seemed the All Blacks played a second 5/8 in those days, as opposed to an inside centre. It meant that a player like Carter could serve an apprenticeship outside a more experienced playmaker before becoming the key playmaker. Unfortunately the game has moved on from that style as it would...

I’m pretty sure Pongas dad said one of them was feeling ill and the other was just checking in. You couldn’t make this stuff up
