Yeah, Speight is big, tough and fast. I thought he would be the obvious choice to mark North especially with Kuridrani defending inside him

I just hope there aren't too many lineouts in his time

we get to disagree

I hope not, his form in the last test @ 10 was excellent. With Phipps at 9 it is simple logic to pick the guy who will play closer to advantage line and run squarer. That makes the defense hold and not drift; and it is no surprise to see Folau play better with that extra space. That said...

And it happens all the time, the difference is it usually put down as a "fact finding mission" where some coach goes on a world tour and gets to go to the Dallas Cowboys etc. sharing his knowledge and gaining incites/viewpoints Or a coach calls in some unit for a couple sessions. Actually...

I remember listening to Les Kiss talk about his time as Ireland's defensive coach and how little time these guys actually get to slotted in to the weeks program between team runs, scrummaging, lineout, video analysis, re-hab, promotional duties. Will Jason Ryles be a point of difference? Not...

The latest IQ box is apparently planned to be able to run apps such as Netflix etc, keeping them in the mix and an easier option for those less technically able

So England will be taught how to chicken wing units

I reckon these games are for the "tragics", no one else would get up at sparrow farts to watch a game of test rugby. Fark, I find it hard to do. Thank god for the IQ box

and how many "prospects" @ THP have we said this about? It is the one position on the field where I would much rather see a strong scrummager selected over the higher workrate unit. We have seen that end in tears too often. That said, I expect Robertson to get toweled up a few times on the...

yeah when the black dog hits someone, education is forgotten

I would expect something like this. We have 5 props and I would like to see some proper rotation

force

No sympathy for clubs, they are just as ruthless to players who are struggling and they gave him the contract with a get out clause in the first place

Whilst it is the Daily Mail so likely to be bullshit .....................................

I think both are a major part of it . Cheika calls the measure "getting off your arse" We lack urgency to keep in play and get into play. To me, that is part fitness and part mental. Our skills deteriorate as we tire, we don't get back into play quickly, we drop balls, we throw shittier...

amazing that two players supposedly as "shit" as Hooper and Foley can be judged as two of the top three wobs this year ....................

Gagger's hamster appears tired this morning

I like the missus

Doesn't really come down to how they perform in the jersey? Phil Kearns didn't cheapen the jersey being picked from Randwick reserve grade, but others with 50 super rugby caps have been the pants
