The issues I have with Nic right now revolve around the execution of his kicking and passing recently, which has been poor. Coaching plan aside, these are core skills and were seemingly not issues during Super Rugby but for whatever reason have become issues since then. If he had been coming off...

I'm saying that Genia has been continually starting because there really aren't any other current options, or at the least every other feasible option has been tried and hasn't worked much better either. This is the reality of limited depth and short of plucking someone from the ether who...

We gave Nic his chance and he's been just as bad as Will bar the Argentina start. Do we give Phipps or THE RANGA a start? Don't think that would end much better. Or do we pull this mystical on-form scrumhalf from the ether?

What network is carrying ITM Cup now?

Not sure. I'm pretty sure the current arrangements for Southern Hemisphere run through SANZAR and not any of the national bodies themselves so I doubt it got aired anywhere. I'm still in Uni and don't even have basic cable so I generally catch the games via YouTube after the fact or someone...

I think it's doable in the USA if they picked the stadium and time of year well. If there's any rugby brand in the USA that has any traction at all it is the All Blacks. I've lost count of how many idiots I've seen prancing around in AB jerseys in a city not exactly known of it's immigrant Kiwi...

He's doing what literally anyone else who just signed a 2-3 month contract would do..start lining up another job. If LI wanted him for longer than that period then maybe you think they should have signed him for longer? I've been really harsh on JOC (James O'Connor) through all of this ridiculous bullshit...

Even if we could just get 6-7-8 playing in unison we'd be seeing the dividends paid at the breakdown. I've said it a million times before but Pocock got a shitload of help ascending to the throne by playing with a loose forward trio that worked together. Especially him and Elsom, the two of them...

"Echoes and memories of the 2003 side..." Yeah, save your breath please.

If the English were looking to attack instead of blindly picking and driving there we were fucked. The size of the hole being left at our A-gap (immediately to either side of the ruck) and the amount of time those holes were being left open was fucking appalling there.

Yeah but when it's cut to referee cam and I can see Vunipola rotating out towards a 90 degree angle it can get pretty frustrating.

Before that Youngs stands up and causes Moore to go down, Aussies pinged for collapsing. What.

Well, that didn't take long!

To be fair at least Spies did do this at one point in his career..

So..how is Higgers' shoulder feeling these days?

Yeah, the Irish squad that will be coming in under a brand new coach after having their own 'Deans era' riding on a single test against Samoa as a squad..not exactly sure where the guys at Centrebet are getting their figures for there.

Think you may have forgotten someone!

We should absolutely demolish that line out if the English are going to be playing Lawes in place of Parling.

Don't want to derail on a tangent but this brings up a pretty big philosophical issue which is very relevant to the topic of Hooper v. Pocock. What is the 'core business' of our #7? Is he primarily a ruck monkey on attack and defense? Or should all of our forwards being working the ruck as...
