Dunno mate, I scored a try from 10m out with a prop a lock and a scrum half hanging off me that's probably as close as I'll come to a strong man competition tho. If that's what you want to do then go for it but if you want to play rugby at lock or back row you should bulk up a bit more.

I played lock from when I was 5 - 10 at my local club and I've filled in at openside and no.8 the odd time but that's all I've spent in the pack. Then I moved to Outhalf in 1st year because I had a decent boot on me and I was one of the few who could pass. Moved to centre after 1st year and have played there ever since. I have played wing a few times tho for my club. Hope I cleared a few things up for you mate.

>>68323964

>>68335420
Well you should definitely push yourself to try and make the 1st XV. When I was 16 I got pretty lazy and was dropped to the schools 2nd XV after my 1st match. It didn't feel good. So I started training harder and made myself into a better player and I was captain of the 1st XV in my final year and was offered a bursary to play rugby at a decent rugby uni in England. You really should work hard to be the best you can be. Just look at Matt Healy he was still playing for Lansdowne a couple of years ago and now he's in the Ireland squad. Train hard over summer and you'll reap the benefits in the coming season.

wales lads
>>68323964
This is a thing?
>>68349921
>>Eng vs Aus 2nd half
Wallabies were trailing 7 points with 6 minutes to go and had the penalty. Instead of kicking for the corner to try and draw with a converted try they opted for goal to use the remaining time to win.
Things didn't go their way, it was instead England who scored a try in the dying minutes to stretch the win margin. Though I can't bring myself to fault Aussies for their ambition.
>>SA vs Ireland
People say SA vs Japan last year was a humiliating defeat. I disagree. THIS was a humiliating defeat. Ireland lost a man to red card since the 30th minute and even had to play with 13 at one point with a yellow card. And yet SA still couldn't win. The Irish were playing superbly of course, but a team of Springboks incapable of puting a 14-man Irish team away is vexing.
>>68325232
South Africa are going to be the annual rugby championship wooden spooners before long
>>68351065
No you fault their leadership for making a losing call. You have to go for the corner and salvage a draw. They took the easy points to make the points difference smaller/smaller defeat and that blew up in their face

With the weakening Rand, quotas and general political/social instability I'm expecting the Springboks to be 2003 tier again soon.
If I were a foreign coach I'd seriously be looking at loads of Saffers as project players. They're probably all desperate to leave lol.
Also the Springboks facebook page has become a racial slanging match. Whites blaming the ANC imposed quotas and blacks blaming the shit white players.

B.Smith at full back 2bh
Jane or Lowe on the wing (can't remember if any of them are injured)
And swap Naholo for a "big power winger" player that can catch the ball 3/4 times like Savea

>5. Tupitolotu (they missed Whitelock last night)
Whitelock is pretty likely to be back for the next match
>6. Kaino (Want Dixon coming off the bench)
7. Savea
Agreed
12. BARRETT (yes Barrett, dont care how good an impact player he is the guy is world class in a black jersey)
I'd like to see Barrett stay on the bench and try Soap at 12. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But Soap is a great player and you potentially get the best of both worlds by having Cruden kick ass at 10 and have Soap, the best goal kicker in NZ, kick all the goals.
Then you can have Barrett still fuck shit up off the bench.
>>68358306
Whitelock is 100% in the squad mate
>>68358337
Still on injury list.
>>683582
>12. BARRETT
Gonna miss Conrad playing, what a guy.
Think we need to have more big youngsters (or potentially big after a late puberty surge) playing scrum half before moving into centre.
>>68358370
>miss GOATrad
I agree
I unironically rate him in Richie McGod tier
Memekenzie's talents are wasted at 10 and FB and should be put in the wing.
Discuss.
>>68358360
I rate Barretts defense over Soap. Barrett has the gamebreaking ability, the pace, the distribution. He's like a classic 12 and isnt exactly a small player. Will be much better than Crotty in any case.
>>68358437
McKenzie can fulfill a wing's job, but his real value is in creating attack momentum rather than a finisher
>>68358544
I agree with this
I also don't think he is quite there as a fully developed player. I hope his short stint in the black jersey doesn't go to his head when he returns to the Chiefs camp
>>68358467
I agree with this. Barrett will shine in that position and his playstyle does fit well in there
glad to see the barrett @ 12 meme is catching on
I am also of the opinion that the ball sacks should literally just fill the two back spots in the bench with meme utility backs. Barrett at 22, McKenzie 23. Shove them on for literally anyone and shuffle the fuck out of the backline. Full memes.
>>68359037
Barrett at 12 is no meme
Double coconut wings is the biggest meme going

He's played there a fair bit for the Ospreys and is by all accounts better at it than Anscombe. I put Evans starting because he offers a bit more grunt. I'd take him off at half time for Jenkins, the one thing we need I think is a more dynamic bench.

>>68360580
We might as well go full meme and put Morgan on the other wing in that case
Hope Tipuric gets better and put him at 13 as well
>>68360646
>I heard he's not as shit as he used to be
You heard correctly, but he's still a bottle job.
>>68360652

>>68360699
Pietersen was awful all game.
>>68360696
>Davies is fat and runs funny.
He also can't pass, but Tyler Morgan hasn't been on Gatland's patented test/tren/mast blast yet so he isn't ready to start.
I think the world needs to see Memer Morgan v Memekenzie on tuesday.
Wales have named their team for Chiefs already. I'll post it now in a bit like, butt
Wales team to play the Chiefs:
Matthew Morgan, Eli Walker, Tyler Morgan, Scott Williams, Tom James, Rhys Priestland, Gareth Davies; Rob Evans, Scott Baldwin, Tomas Francis, Jake Ball, Luke Charteris, Josh Turnbull, Ellis Jenkins, James King.
Replacements: Kristian Dacey, Aaron Jarvis, Rhodri Jones, Bradley Davies, Ross Moriarty, Aled Davies, Gareth Anscombe, Rhys Patchell.
>pull Keelan Giles out of the U20 WC
>don't use him
Also I think Stephen Donald is captaining the Chiefs kek

Memekenzie is on All Black watch so he isn't playing
It is a very memetastic Wales team though, and Dolan is the Chiefs 10

Thats actually a pretty good Chiefs backline considering all the players theyre missing
For the uninitiated, a lot of people wanted Lowe in the All Blacks ahead of Mckenzie and Savea. Usually a winger but he definitely has the skills for fullback. If Savea keeps up his shit form then Lowe should get a cap or two.

>donald
uh oh
>>68361475
I rate Bird, Graham and Sanders in the forwards but Wales definitely have the edge here. Dont underestimate the backs see>>68361471
>>68361501
I agree, but I think that Wales actually stumbled on a very well balanced XV. We have a big pack with plenty grunt and good breakdown ability in Jenkins, and a very exciting backline. The big question is defence in wide channels and under high balls. Donald might well try to exploit Morgan as a weak link and drop bombs on him
>>68361640
They'll test every defensive weakness in your backline and the Chiefs are one of the few sides that can beat teams even when getting dicked up front. Counter attack is the best in super rugby.
>>68361778
Yep. The Chiefs attack is mental, in the few Chiefs games I've seen this season they can make tries out of literally nothing. Given that Morgan (not Tyler) shits himself defensively we're going to need to hold onto the ball an awful lot.
>>68361927
Should be a cracking little barbarian style game. Webber will be a handful, has a point to prove
>>68361338
That's a solid backline with firepower to cut through the Wales defence. Whether the Chiefs will get to brag will be up to their forwards

We were lucky Connacht injured the entire Leinster back 3, because they're even worse. In a way, you could say Connacht won us that game.
>>68363939
Poocuck has mostly been in pretty bad form this season with one notable exception against the Cheetahs
Gill has been playing better all season
>he thinks Englel will win the series

What are the chances Etzebeth is on something?
His arms look ridiculous.
>>68366280
define what you mean by something, because he is clearly on a picnic table.
>>68366280
It's fucking guaranteed, remember he's 6'8 too. He's carrying ridiculous mass for a lanklet.

Who's the blonde?

kekd, the little things can work.
>a Saffer player not brought up on horse roids
>>68368949
to be fair, he is most likely on some form of drug, steroid or not.
There must be a few loop-holes in the leagues prohibited drug usage rules. There are some rules in our NCAA that allows certain drug usage, but the school themselves cannot supply the drugs to the students.
You are now all aware that the WADA's first president's name was Dick Pound
>>68369197
>There must be a few loop-holes in the leagues prohibited drug usage rules
it's managed by the individual unions
there's a reason the only roid busts in rugby are against lower-league journeymen who use them to get wedged rather than for performance enhancing purposes. They do get tested at big tournaments, but AFAIK any random testing is not actually random at all and coaches have been known to help players get around it.
A notable example would be a certain English back row with great banter who took a break from his premiership academy when the testers were in

I've actually done a NZ vs Wales one already in the last thread. >>68306796
>>68369470
Makes sense really, I dont know of any coaches that actively didnt help their players.
At least its not as shifty as the NFL's drug enforcement.
>>68369594
This is brilliant mate.
Do you draw for a living?
I reckon you could sell these to some sports news companies.
>>68369594
Beautiful. Are you going to do one of a jaguar beating an Italian wolf?
Have you ever drawn Scotland? I'd love to see a big muscly unicorn against a tanuki. Would be funny.
Lions Backline
9. C Murray
10. P Jackson

From what I've seen of the tests so far.

Let's just give the series to NZ.

You do know, nobody has a clue who that is when you call him that right?
>>68376450
Farrell is actually playing great at 12
>>68375662
Those 3 had really great games yesterday I don't see your point.
>>68378695
Because there are better players in those positions for the lions. Putting Jackson ahead of Sexton or Biggar based on one game is retarded for example.
>>68379202
I genuinely think Jackson is better than Sexton at this point
>>68379564
Sexton is generally consistent in his level of performance, but he's become very injury-prone and rarely dominates a game like he used to.
>>68379769

Having just watched the Boks Ireland game I wouldn't make any Lions team decisions based off it. It was a gutsy, scrappy performance but not a controlling, dominating one. It was the worst Boks side on paper in years which looked terribly coached. An All Blacks tour will be a completely different beast.
>>68380268
>but not a controlling, dominating one
It would have been had Ireland not been reduced to 14 men.
>>68380975
well then theyll prove it next test
>>68381066
Ireland were dominating for the first 20+ minutes, at least. And there's no telling if SA will make mistakes at the same frequency next test. We saw how they bounced back after losing against Japan.
Well, there's only one way to tell, isn't there.
>>68380268

The Boks have gone to shit in incredible speed
2009 seems like a very long time ago

This weekend proved once and for all that NH>SH, can't make any calls until the teams have gone through genuinely tough games in the 6N next year
>>68389854
>proved once and for all NH>SH
How many NH teams where in the world cup quater semis and finals? I forgot
Anyway making a retarded call like that off of one round is stupid and you should know better
How does Australia beat England? Is it even possible?
>>68390836
Seems like success breeds jealousy, stay mad poor little SH boy
>>68390882
beer
>>68391011
>jealousy
Just pointing out some facts buddy. No need to get upset.
From your logic Japan is better than SA because last time they faced Japan won. That is obviously a retarded stance to take. The results at the end of the tour will settle it not the first meeting of the squads.
Also 50% of the NH sides won so SH=NH from what you are saying
>>68391170
how can one person be so fucking mad kek
you are literally POORIOUS

Nope they've lost Pocock and Farrell will start at 12 instead of Burrell. It's ogre for them.
I don't know much about rugby and only watch international rugby, more so England since 1998. Am I scum?
>>68393448
you sound like a tennis player
>>68393448
>Am I scum?
No just a casual so no big deal
>>68395008
That's what I consider myself.
I do not give my opinion on things either, I just watch and support. Am I till welcome here?
>>68395103
Yea you are welcome in my books, discuss all you want to too. some "hardcore /rug/ poosonalities" may make fun of you but who cares about words on the internet
