Fingers crossed, but in the circumstance he remains healthy the extra game time is probably a good thing. His form has definitely been on an upward trend since he first got shipped off to Europe - the extra game time would hopefully sharpen him up that much more. He hasn't had the strain of a...

I'm not sure if we can afford to pay for another door, might not be the best plan of action.

CFS at 92kg and Kerevi at 108kg - surely someone on the media team having a laugh?

Well I am only a back so while I'd like to think I know a thing or two about the scrum I'm largely just pissing upwind until I see the ball about to come out ;) Nice spot though.

I'm not expecting to see that team - just my own selections if I had to do it tomorrow morning. Kuridrani got sold up river by the players inside of him too many times during the NRC for me to figure out if he's just a poor defender or was stuck trying to operate in a poor defensive system. I...

Turner provides more thorough bench cover than either Kuridrani or JJT as he has experience playing in the centers at a very high level. He's also not nearly as fast as either of them now so I wouldn't classify them as the same type of player for that reason alone. Turner hasn't been a...

This is actually ringing some bells for me, you may be right. Not sure if I'd rather see Slipper shifted to THP until Holmes is healthy or Daley getting pumped at THP :confused:

@Dctarget to be fair, the conjugations and agreements in French are about as sensible as the number of different pronouns/articles in German I'm useless with new languages so I guess I'm glad I was forced to learn one of the hardest ones by virtue of being alive.

Albert didn't go overseas, Chris ate him. Based on nothing but my own speculations/observations and with an abhorrent lack of empirical evidence to back up most of these choices, I would like to see this side given a go: 1. James Slipper 2. Saia Fainga'a 3. Greg Holmes 4. Rob Simmons 5...

Both of the primary RBs for the NFL team I support weigh 94 and 86 kg respectively. They're two of the most productive runners in the league. There's plenty of places to run other than between the Tackles, mate. Yes, Edelman and Welker also are a similar size - but JOC (James O'Connor) has far better...

JOC (James O'Connor) could play as a dual-threat running back and also kick returner. Folau would be a great receiving tight end.

Based on his current form with Toulon he's almost definitely going to the World Cup and I can't really remember him ever having a dramatic dip in form over his career (aside from when he was played a couple dozen meters out of position at flyhalf). There were some defensive lapses that were...

Need to mix up the "read" we force the defense to make on the inside runs off of Foley too, especially when they were largely working well during the match. Can't just be Horne 80% of the time or it becomes too easy to defend. @HighPlainsDrifter The biggest difference between what AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) did...

Yeesh, guys just not aligning well defensively and leaving space in the wrong places, Bokke making them pay for it. Making the final outside of Gold Coast is still an impressive achievement for Aussie John and the Tbolts. Trying to catch as many matches as I could between USA and Australia...

Is there that much of a Welsh influence in the Reds admin or playing group? :D

Going to echo the comments about RG as a person. Met him fairly briefly over a year ago but he came off as a very nice guy who loves the game and is very grateful to be coaching for a living right now. I have mixed feelings regarding him as a coach, but as a man he never seemed like anything...

It's the Holiday season getting to me.

You are a fucking legend. Awesome analysis.

Ronald Regan was one of the harbingers of the end of sanity in American politics and facilitated the ass-fucking of our entire political-economic landscape in a way that very few Presidents have been able to match, either before or after his tenure in the White House. Fuck Ronald Regan.

It's not like Eastmond or JJ have shown much in terms of consistent performance at test level. Eastmond is starting to come good but still has a bit of a road to travel down. 36 has been woeful in his time for England. Barritt is Barritt. Only Tuilagi and then Burrell to a far lesser...
