Over half of the west team will be made up of super rugby players. Gonna be awkward if they don't win all their games for the remainder of the season

They say the average age of world cup winning teams was 27-28 or something. Most players reach their peak at that age, not too young where you lack experience and not too old where you're losing speed and power. How many of our players are 25-26 years old?

Looked like a knock on in that last try for east

angus bell is a genetic specimen. Built like a prop-backrower hybrid

Players make more mistakes when they are fatigued. If our players that are getting looked at for the national gig struggle with catch and pass, then we have a very big issue.

Yeah the anaerobic session are important. If you look at the training schedule of an endurance athlete, during the off season, they are almost exclusively doing slow pace runs (pace at which you can maintain a conversation). Only when they are approaching the season, they start to incorporate...

Another issue that compounds the gap between nz and aus teams is talent. Regardless of what pc culture tells you, some people are born smarter, faster and more powerful than others.

Impressed by ASY (Angus Scott-Young) on the weekend, his ball running seemed to have improved, which was really the only thing missing in his game. Henry looked good, strong in contact. As much as I am a fan of McReight, Wright looked good in the 7 jersey. With rugby being a game of attrition, having a bigger body...

After watching this year, I think its pretty clear who are going to be the 1st and 2nd choice for most positions are going to be.
