Not possible, you are living in a fantasy world, he is not even a proper backrower!

Always worth remembering whether a forward is starting or finishing is usually an argument over 5 to 10 minutes of playing time

I would still prefer the Super Rugby be limited to a size that allows for two full rounds of home and away. I would prefer it to be elite and competitive. The challenge is at the moment it would be made up of Kiwi sides and the Lions

I think Reece Robinson is gone

Ahh thats right Not sure if it is the alzheimer's or the mad cow kicking in but I thought it was earlier

Neither does mine, but we would be both paying for those special benefits out of our own money, not some nebulous shareholders or tax payers.

I thought stade were relatively happy to see him gone, he seem injured most of their season and when signed wasn't expected to be running out for the Wobs again.

We are getting to the stage where we will need to start billeting out the team. But that could always be spun as getting closer to the grass roots Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

And someone would be an idiot to think so

ahh no I am not

That doesn't make it untrue
