@sparky Murdoch is an evil and bitter and twisted person and even a majority of Australians were glad to see the back of him when he chose US citizenship

"Rugbys darkest of Auras" I like that bit.

Saw these stats recently. In prep for the inevitable debate when Barrett misses a couple of kicks.
international kicking stats.
Barrett
2015- 55% 6 from 11
2016- 69% 38 from 55
2017- 80% 44 from 55
2018- 70% 35 from 40
2019- 81% 29 from 36

Mo'unga
2018 85% 11 from 13
2019 83% 20 from 24

you can read many things into Stats, this is not necessarily about kicking ability but possibly more about how the game is being played - 2015/16 tries were predominantly being scored out wide hence more sideline conversion attempts, now more tries being scored closer into the posts hence better conversion rate

Or....he became a better kicker

yep hence why I said many things.

Some interesting picks. Would be interesting if he picked again post world cup. Hooper over Savea is laughable.

And no Itoje?

Ardie at 6 or 8 surely

Loving the Dark Mode (and everything else), Good work Duluth
