Sounds like Gale is a dark horse for 9 in this upcoming match - what's the wraps on this kid?

Yes and Shag already included him on the ABs EOYT as a training-only (can't remember the correct term at the moment - apologies) player. In this kind of situation you'd think that you would be negotiating with the NZRFU and not just the 'Canes. Not to mention the pull from playing with his...

If he plays badly there it's because he's been playing out of position since February.

I can't speak to anywhere outside of Brisbane (primarily Bulimba and the CBD) but the roads in your country are fucking terrifying enough as it is - and not because you all drive on the wrong side!

Better to make a mistake at 100mph than to hesitate. Casually rewatching the game right now as I'm too awake to sleep and too tired to get anything productive done.. Frisby was solid but I think the two tries in 7 minutes is pulling the Red wool over some eyes. His passing was shocking at...

Sounds like he was/is playing really well for Reds A too. A bit concerned seeing him get shifted from 12 to 13 and back to 12 a few times in the rosters but that's more par-for-course at the age and level of play I guess.

Yeah, if you're into open-ended performances with no real conclusion.

To be fair a lot of us 'called' it as a fucking horrible decision before the Wallabies even went into camp for that series. He had been playing at 10 for the Rebels just like he played at 10 against the Lions - as if he was wearing 14 on his back. Especially after his final game for the Rebels...

There's still a plane ride between him and Australia - nothing is certain.

Their height/weight are similar but for mine those are two very, very differently built men. Funny too because Vermeulen is a bit like a doppelganger for Palu and Read more similar to Higginbotham. Agreed that JML (easier than typing Leguizamon, to be honest) plays 'bigger' than his...

Nah, Eddie's right.. Doesn't Even Help

Personally I was just hoping they'd lock him in a very small room with Kev if he ever got out of line.

By all reports and the footage I've seen, Leroy is doing pretty damn well for himself up north. If Bath really is looking to play Burgess as a back-rower maybe there's a chance someone could get in Houston's ear? Laziness has to come from somewhere, and it sure isn't the body. In your 20s...

Yup! According to Total Rugby at least!

How's Madagascar looking these days? I remember when the IRB did their coverage of some of their games from right after the last RWC (I think? - time flies) and they played like a tiny Super Rugby team - very fun to watch.

There is absolutely no need for all members of the starting XV to be 80 minute players when we now have nearly half of a team on the bench - almost always including at least 2 players that could step into the 4/5 role if a freakish injury would occur. Not starting/playing a player like Skelton...

This is a load. JOC (James O'Connor) is a world-class finisher when he is playing at the end of the line. He was one of our best line runners and finishers when he was regularly in the Wallabies and he hasn't forgotten how to do these things - in fact it's probably the only thing he does really exceptionally...

Damn, I really miss this show.

This is definitely one way of putting it but it does get to the point - sort of. England seems to lose games between the ears and from 9-15. Sort of an old narrative but I think it still holds plenty of water with the current English squad. This is just a dumb, dumb statement. Does he...
