Yeah, Houston is a 2015 prospect IMO, if he wants it.

Oh dear, it mustn't have been her head. :(

Johnny Blaze, I thought he played really well at 12 as well: a potential Wallaby. Perhaps a more elusive A Finger, with a big boot and ball playing skills.

Yes, and McCalman our backup 8 and Gits (probably) our backup 12.

I think part of Rocky's contract is he is no longer a NH/SH player.

Good luck with that.

I would say that in the scrum the 6N teams are significantly more intense than the T-N teams. We got by fairly okay with Ma'food-plus-one in the T-N games, then got splintered the minute we landed in Yurp. France probably have the strongest scrum in the world, followed by England, Italy and...

The danger of wearing a paper bag over your head in a pub in New Zealand, is that punters may mistake you for a Kiwi chick.

Good summation, except that I think Slipper is far enough along the path to make it.

I think Pocock is better, right now. I think the IRB will concur.

These people talking up Lealiifano as a fly-half obviously haven't had to sit in the cold at Bruce Stadium and watch him play in that role. He is sometimes okay at 10, but often dreadful. He has a big boot with no modulation at all. I have never seen a player kick inadvertently out on the full...

More to the point, on at least two occasions Beale ran round Mils. Mils used to be able to do that.

I'd rather play England than the NZRT in New Zealand. As pointed out above, despite what many Englishmen believe we actually have a strong win record against the Poms. We have a shit win record against the NZRT.

Haha, that is true. There has been some quite inventive moaning since the France game.

I wouldn't pair Gits and Lilo in a club game.

The NZRT got a yellow card on the weekend. I can feel their pain.

Jerry's a developing prop, and one with excellent potential. He was perhaps some way off displacing a Wallaby but he has all the attributes.

I thought the last two Barbarians games were both excellent. I was at Wembley for the Wallabies game and it was a feast of running rugby from both sides, except for the obligatory Fran Steyn drop goal attempts from runnable midfield positions. Edit: I mean the games played in the NH. I...

I believe Douglas has the most talent of the emerging locks. I base that on watching him play. I agree that he, like Simmons, doesn't yet have the runs on the board, which is why I say "my money is on Douglas", rather than saying Douglas is the man. I think that kind of prediction is within...

There is an element of truth in that. Cooper is instinctively a wide distributor. Beale is instinctively a close distributor. Giteau running straight off Beale could be very successful.
