James must have the Super record for cards. Does he use his arms to tackle these days?

So we have two world class locks? Wow we should be winning everything.

Just the World Cup will do.

We are ranked no.2 in the world. It's no surprise that we have a number of world-class players. Not as many as the ABs granted, but probably more than any other nation - exactly as the rankings would suggest.

So, how bad is Sharpe's injury?

From the replay I saw on Fox Sports it looked like Brown was responsible for not bringing him back down safely...

Wasn't it also Brown that Vickerman once physically picked up and put into position in a lineout?

Maybe Brown should just stay out of lineouts?

It was Scott Fava wasn't it?

 

[Sully]

Yes Australia has 2 locks that wouldn't look out of place in any national team.

Sharpie is definitely in the world class category, I think. Kev perhaps not at the moment, but I think he could be in the next 12 months.

Although I usually describe Horwill as class, the word "World" doesn't quite fit there yet.

I generally look at Qwerty's posts with scorn, but he has a point. Horwill is not world class. Sharpe is.

 

[Godfrey]

It all depends on your particular interpretation of world class. I'm sure Horwill being a Red deducts 5 points for some people.

It all depends on your particular interpretation of world class. I'm sure Horwill being a Red deducts 5 points for some people.

And for some, being an Australian. And for others, being from the southern hemisphere. And I'm sure there are people who just don't like the look of him.

 

[Shiggins]

Why because he wears red? That's ridiculous. I would hope as Aussies we all just look at the player. He played ok last night. Had done good runs and was good inthe line out. No doubt about sharpe and horwill wearing gold this year.


Go the force!!!!

 

[Scarfman]

Big Kev is coming back to form just at the right time. I wouldn't put him in the top 3 or 4 locks in the world though. Sharpey I would.

 

[tigerland12]

Well who else is in the top locks in the world..... Matfield isn't really anymore, Paul O'Connell (Ire) has been injured for ages, Brad Thorn isn't that good.

Based on current world second rowers I'd consider both of them in a World 15.

 

[Godfrey]

I think Sharpe, Bekker and Thorn are all before him. I don't know much about NH locks though.

 

[qwerty51]

Most of you guys mustn't watch a lot of rugby.

List before Horwill: Andries Bekker, Sam Whitelock, Brad Thorn, Tom Palmer, Nathan Sharpe, Victor Matfield, Bradley Davies, Richie Gray

Not world-class.

But a good lobotomy would make you happy.

Huh?
