How good would Dennis have been during the Mumm/Hanigan era of 6s.

I'm not sure about that, he was thereabouts anyway. He busted his knee when skipper of the victorious 2014 Tahs team (didn't play in the finals) and had a couple of shots at the title for the Wobs prior to that but never really stepped up. He may have come good after that if he didn't do his knee but to me he always seemed like one of those players who was fantastic at provincial level but didn't step up at the higher level. We'll never know what might have happened admittedly.

Ditch the Giteau law and bring in the Skelton law. Overseas Wallabies capped at two. For my money, Skelton and either Fardy, TPN or Nic White.

I’d struggle to get around a guy like Skelton who clearly cares about the money more than the jersey (which is totally fine and his decision) he could’ve signed a one day yearsuper deal then headed straight back north but didn’t even want to do that

Let's not get too carried away. He playing well but isn't even in the top 2 locks at Saracens.

Bit like Fardy. When everyone is fit he doesn't start.

Do we really want to be sacrificing our super rugby teams for that level of player?

 

[Forcefield]

I'm pretty comfy with the locks we have. Thought I'd throw out a speculator. Truth be told, I think we'd lose more to overseas in the Giteau law than with that form of Skelton law.

Not saying he was world class. Just better than Mumm or Hanigan

The English "Premier" Rugby is ordinary, with moments of brilliance.

Caterpillar rucks. No subtlety in the backline. Decision making somewhere between dire and poor. Bash bash bash bash nup fuckit kick. Hideous mismatches. Pacific Islands players absolutely killing it against Pommy school boys with all the creativity coached out of them. A shit-ton of Saffers thinking how easy this is compared to Soup.

With the list they've got, Sarries should have won everything in a canter, even without their Roses.

I like the artificial pitches though. The skill of execution for their box kicking is also good - but it fucking should be given the amount of practice they get.

Saw Skelton in a couple of games off the bench earlier in the season. Definitely looked fitter but he dwarfed a lot of the blokes he was up against.

And yet, that England team is very good and would wipe the floor with the Wallabies (and has done several times since EJ (Eddie Jones) took over).
