>>68001115
I think de allende might be used as a utility back because he's more flexible.
I originally had him at 12 and then I realised they're probably going to want to bolt serfontein into that position now that JdV is gone.
It will be interesting to see what team they actually end up coming up with.

Why doesn't Dan Biggar do that up and under thing he does in the 22, just over the try line? He catches it practically every time.

>>68001735

>>68001762
Put him in the pocket for a drop goal but do that kick instead.
>>68001762
It was poor defence more than anything else.

>>68010514
There are shitloads of good young players but Gatland never uses any of them. He really needs to fuck off if you guys rape us 3-0
Probably the announcement that he's signed with the Poos for next season.
He should just off himself instead tttt
>>68010514
Practically all that team will still be around for the next world cup. Gatlel refuses to drop certain guys though. Roberts, Priestlel, Cuthbert etc
The Story behind SBW signing with the Blues is that one of the Chiefs regular bonding rituals involves grabbing a hogget from the nearest farm and running train on it in the dressing room, which was too much, even for a mudslime like him.
Nah he wasn't resigned because he would sit on the bench. Sbw is nothing but an expensive luxury impact player

So, ESPN put together a few ocassions of refs favouring other teams and/or not punishing them with the same rigurosity as they do with the Jags.
Sharks fuck the scrum up twice and no penalty try but, if the Jags do it once, the ref calls it.

Ireland won't have a team that strong again for years. Everyone was fit and in good form.
Have to say there are some verrrrry dodgy calls going Irelands way in the first half
A Smith high tackled before the third try. Ireland going off their feet at the ruck for crucial turnovers

Was Nonu and Dagg's worst games in black too.
I was ready to drop Nonu from the team after that...
>>68071441
For me (from my obviously biased point of view) i thought it was a bit shit that one of Ireland's first 2 tries was considered grounded but Dagg's try (start of 2nd half) wasn't.
>>68076307
>>68076327
Second half was a good old fashioned dicking. Honestly looking back at the match Ireland capitalised on 3 perfect plays early and then went full NH mode with defensive kicking. If Ben Smith was moved to full back after the second try with Crotty coming in the midfield I doubt it would have been that close.
Cruden actually looked really good when he got his running game going. Whitelock Retallick just outclassed their opposites in the second half. Dane Coles showed just how important he was with play a million times better than Hore. Subs proved the difference in the end

I seriously don't understand the hype around this player. There better players at his own province. O'Donnell is still better. Heenan becomes IQ this summer and is better than him.

It's definitely a forward dominated league but I think most of the teams play to avoid relegation rather than risk exciting rugby.

It is to rugby what the Premiership is to soccer.
Players have no skills, so the lower down teams actually have the ability to the bigger teams, making it exciting. When a team tries to be even a little skilful (Grenoble in France, Swansea a few years ago in the EPL) it amazes and bamboozles them.
It's going to kill rugby.

i would liken it more to the MLS the older top players from the aviva and pro12 go there to retire and earn loads of money

Nah, MLS isn't outbidding the other big leagues, the T14 is. They don't have enough atm to make players ditch international careers in their primes, but that could change with their new tv deal.

He's right though.
When you say GB is the best in Europe you really just mean better than France.
