Luckily I may have a local guide in my mate Aaron who I work with online at times. His opinion matches yours so now I know he must be alright, hahaha.

There's a chance I may be coming out to Ireland in time for the November test and I will absolutely be screaming my head off.

Houston should just get his act together and come south again, with his current form he could be knocking on the door for Wallaby 8 if he'd get out of friggin' England.

Some blokes don't even play high class footy at all Rugby, like anything, can be learned in more than one way. What matters is how dedicated you are to that learning process.

JOC (James O'Connor) has always been a great option to rotate in at 10 if the other playmakers get caught up, we need a change of pace, etc. It's when he's expected to manage anyone but himself that the wheels have tended to fall off very quickly (save for two test matches against pretty weak oppositions -...

So here's a conundrum: How do you get the family of players to just keep their gobs shut? Obviously I'm not familiar with Australian law but I can't imagine any sort of contract clause could hold them to that. You'd think simply for the sake of the public image of their own kid they'd be a...

This is just too much awful journalism for one week.. "with vice-captain Adam Ashley-Cooper left underwhelmed by the ARU's token recognition of his 100th test appearance." "While the 30-year-old is too classy and professional to make a fuss of the lack of fanfare, Ashley-Cooper's family are...

Erm mate, I was making an argument for To'omua and Godwin.

Uh, no - it means he has more compact mass in general. That's literally it. What you just said makes absolutely no sense from a physiological perspective - even less so when we are talking about a difference of 1-2kg and 1-2 inches. I forgot, are we having a bench press competition or...

May want to flip through the bogan dictonary until you get to the word 'bigger'. Godwin is taller and just as heavy or potentially heavier than To'omua. You know how sometimes they say the guy standing out from the crowd and beating his own drum is a visionary, sees things others don't...

You're arguing about weight and he presented an argument about a player that plays exceptionally well even at a 'low' weight. Please try to stick to your own utterly flawed line of argument before you straw-man someone else.

Not sure what's worse - your memory or the weakness of the logic in your line of argument. Enough of this drivel. Guess being one of the heaviest centers going 'round wasn't enough to stop Twelvetrees from getting RUN THE FUCK OVER by such a 'small', 'lightweight', 'only 92kg' center...

I actually think it's the first time since 2010 I've had to Google a player's name after seeing them on the selection sheet!

Back to the orignal point - Kyle Godwin has not been an 87kg player for a long time. That is, unless his thighs are filled with air. He has had no issue defending at 12 in Super Rugby yet. If anything, his defensive work was his best attribute this past year. Kurtley Beale is listed at...

To'omua and Horan were never heavier than 91-92kg. Godwin has visibly bulked up quite a bit in the past few seasons too, those weight measurements on Wikipedia aren't updated often. Beale weighs about the same as To'omua - fat lot of good those extra KGs are doing him in contact. 12 is so much...

So, which Saffa/Kiwi backrower are you - exactly?

I don't think Tevita's build suits the 12 channel even half as much as it does the 13 channel. His height is a huge reason he is able to absolutely dominate outside backs - it wouldn't be nearly as much of an advantage running at or defending against 6'4" back rowers. Nonu is the prototype 12...

I've come to the defense of the lineout on these boards many times in the past. To me it's unequivocally the most important of the three set pieces, if not for any other reason than how often they occur during the course of any given match. I'm hesitant to get too excited about the heaps of...

He should have Tomane braid the flow.
