This just sounds silly, to be honest. In other news this is the first weekend in months I have to leave town for work, naturally. :( "We're the boys from Temple U. We live in caves and ditches. We beat our cocks on jagged rocks - we're rugged sons of bitches"

HAHAHAHAH it's been years, mate.

This. Exactly this. In any system where the 12 has duties that go beyond "run the ball" the skill set required is one if the broadest of any position on the field and at times can even be seemingly contradictory. To be honest "do it all" 12s are fucking rare and are nuggets of gold when you...

So not being ready to play 10 is now selection criteria for picking a 12? He was a very good player who had another very good player keeping him at second-five. To'omua is potentially better at 12 for the Wallabies than he would be at 10. They are two very different situations. Agreed. He was...

None of those things indicate Carter was played at 12 because he was a better option at 12 than at 10. Every one if them has to do with Mauger getting the nod over him at 10. The case with To'omua at 12 is that in his tests there up north he provided a distinct and consistent spark on both...

It was definitely not a situation I would want to be in. Risk it with Cooper (who despises you), throw test virgin To'omua in (I wish he had done this, to be frank - even if he went full on pass-first like he did in his early tests he at least would have been in position) or play JOC (James O'Connor) who had a...

JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 for the Lions was one of the most overtly ridiculous and poor selections I can remember since I started following rugby as a sport. Can we just not talk about it, please?

Ugh stop you're getting me too excited for when To'omua rearranges Tales entire upper body :D He was too good on the EOYT tour not to be considered there again. This is my personal opinion but I think 12 is genuinely a better position for him than 10. To'omua looks far more dangerous with the...

Probably got the idea from watching one of your Saffa boys ;)

Tomane can realistically push for a starting berth in that team tough, we've all seen that he has the potential. It's disappointing that he potentially doesn't back himself to do that.

REALLY REG

Doesn't make sense to me that he'd do this before the RWC where he has a very legitimate chance of being in the 23, not just the squad.

What the hell was I thinking?

The universe must be listening to us ;) http://www.premiershiprugby.com/news/31831.php#.U4UenVhdW9Q

The bump and the offload, could watch it all day.

Is Sopoaga still having ankle issues? I see he went off early during the Crusader's game but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. A big boost for us if he is and if he isn't we just need to get in his face because he doesn't deal with pressure all that well. I'm feeling confident about...

I know it's an old highlights reel, but goddamn could we use a player exactly like this at the moment. Anyone have footage of him at Bath? Video was a major trip down memory lane as well. Most of those clips are from the first season I watched the Reds and was converted!

Wonder how he's feeling with Burgo coming for his jersey..;) Mate, you just described 85% of rugby-related press!

You can literally see the moment when Jantjies shits himself, beautiful.

It was already the theme song for the backs during the South African tour, I believe.
