  @Crucial said in RWC: Wales v South Africa (SF2): @MiketheSnow one of his better ones. When this guy stops trying to be a comedian his analysis is very good Yep. Remarkable when you consider the drivel which comes out of SCW's mouth most of the time, and he's a WC winner ffs

  This worth a listen. They talk to the BOPRU CEO about the number of Super players in the squad next year, TTT and Rapid rugby. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/plenty-of-steam/e/65036094?autoplay=true

  In hindsight a tough call probably needed to have been made and one of our stalwart locks shouldn’t have started. Scott Barrett was pretty good in that first half and he along with Cane would’ve been pretty handy with how the game was being played. Given we barely competed at England’s LO ball, the loss of one of our 2 metre locks wouldn’t have mattered.

  @Crucial said in MotM v Wales (3rd/4th Game): Not a lot of love for Reado.? Was awesome with his link play and tackle count. He had a very good game. Ever since his injury he's had to reinvent himself as a tighter loose forward. At his best he was absolutely magnificent - hard hitting and beautiful skills.

  @ACT-Crusader said in AB MotM V England: @Old-Samurai-Jack said in AB MotM V England: A. Smith was a workhorse I thought. He was taking on the big boys when our big guys were missing. Sheesh, I thought his decision making left a lot to be desired. If I was Rattue I’d be demanding a public square explanation as to the box kick just outside our attacking 22 alone. And that wasn’t one of those platform was a problem issues. We were on attack and actually building. I can remember watching mccaw do the voice over for the 2015 final, in a similar attacking situation early in the game , smith kicks it in behind them into the in goal, and the Aussies took it away with ease, looked like a similar stupid play. Mccaw adds , that kick in behind them was planned , didn’t really come off . Maybe smith was working to Instructions, , hard to fathom why , but When I saw it , I thought of the above.

  @SynicBast said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2): @Bones said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2): @Billy-Tell well yeah, if your foot is on the line, you're outside the field of play right? In touch and field of play are separate concepts. You can have one part of your body in the field of play and still be in touch. Howver if you are required to be outside the field of play then no part of your body can be inside the field of play. That's why they use separate terminology.

  Tough loss. Watched the game again and the team put in a great effort, especially the starters. It's too bad that our subs came on and added very little. Outside of Adams, most of the subs had a negative impact on the game, especially Abel. If you watch the last 20 minutes, almost all the missed tackles and mistakes during that time were by our bench players. Their bench was much better and made key plays at the end of the game, which was probably the difference. I think both packs canceled each other out for the most part. I think our pack struggled to get much go forward for most of the game, but despite that, our backs were pretty dangerous throughout the match. We definitely made a mistake not having Sotutu somewhere in the 23 though. The way we corrected things in the last few weeks, I'm hopeful of next season. We were just a totally different team late in the season.

  Smith easily MOTM. His passing is pretty much rugby porn, and he makes everyone else's job easier. Then Read and Goodhue I went for. Best game by Read in ages, and not many on here picking Jack to start, but he smashed it. Hell of a team effort though. Some harsh comments on Todd given what utter bullshit his card was.

  Let's just take a moment to consider how self unaware the moron is who posted the picture online. Jacques says thanks mate! Nice reward for playing along for your joke.
