>pootersen instead of de allende
>>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.

Pretty ridiculous how D.Kearney can be considered ahead of Matt Healy

Can they chase box kicks though?
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ut1n6Nfs9Y
>>68001735
How often do you have broken play on your opponents 22?
>>68001762
Put him in the pocket for a drop goal but do that kick instead.
>>68001762
It was poor defence more than anything else.
>>68001700
Yes, Gilroy is at worst decent under the high ball.
Don't know about Healy but I'd assume he'd do fine too.

>>68001700

Warburton, Faletau, North and Halfpenny are all pretty young. Even AWJ I think is only like 28 and it feels like he's been around forever
>>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

>>68070912
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
Lads should I go and watch the u20 world cup? It's being played at Sale's and Man City reserves grounds.

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.

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.
>>68095912
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
>>68096903
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.

Fucking finally, but damn, all these games for practically nothing in stake besides Toulon-UBB (ghee I wonder who's gonna win this one) and RM92-Montpellier (A.K.A. walking cancer : the game). Also, it's been a while that the pool classification means absolute jack.
Final advice, DO NOT watch French streams during the last round, because you'll get to learn the pain inducing jingle sound from Canal+ when something supposedly happens. You have been warned.
TLDR ; Status-quo by the end of the evening and a nerve wracking sound stuck in your head for a day or two.

>>68130396
If you're playing a position because you want to play it you're definitely a back.
Forwards play forwards because we're selfless, attractive, muscular men who put the team's needs before our own. And because we actually enjoy the contest of sport rather than hanging out as far away from the action as possible and being a faggot. We play positions because we're physically suited to them. Which is why you don't hear nonsense like forwards changing clubs because they're playing second row when they've always really had their heart set on playing prop. Because we're not little girls.

Fucking hell lads, I don't know how they do it. The Lewis Road Hokey Pokey is elite. They've fucking done it again.
I never bought the meme milk at first but once the hype died down I tried some and holy fuck it was divine. And it didn't end there - the vanilla and coffee were elite too. After the chocolate ice cream blew me the fuck away I never thought the hokey pokey could be any good. I mean, it's fucking hokey pokey, the lamest shit ice cream in existence. But man, it's exquisite. I never knew hokey pokey could be this good.
Lewis Road are truly pioneers of food right now. What a time to be alive. What a time to be alive.
>>68164894
This tttt lads
even tried the puhoi choc milk the other day but I feel that it is significantly inferior to the LRC offering.
>>68164851
>dis fucking heart
>>68164960
Lewis Road are quite possibly the beginning of a new paradigm in foodstuffs. The quality of the best restaurants with the availability of cheap overmanufactured nonsense.
I'm going to try the bread soon but I'm bracing myself for disappointment. There's no way they can make bread elite. Right?
when is Sam Underhill signing for a team in a relevant league
>>68165071
Why would he move from Ospreys? As soon as he goes to an English team the hype will be all over him.
>>68165066
They're doing bread now?
I can see it being good, because bread isn't particularly difficult to make and they'll use good ingredients.
>>68165168
Good is not enough. Regular chocolate milk is "good", LRC is ELITE. The bread surely will be their downfall.
I also have yet to try their butter but I'm not a fat cunt who uses butter for anything other than baking so I shall reserve my judgement on that.

>>68166053
Yes. There are the kids that can run and the kids that can't. Which one were you?
>>68166044
Why? It's the same as every other season slow drawn out then the final 2 episodes contain the majority of the action. I guess if you didn't read the books it might not be as exciting because this season is going further into the plot with some characters than is written in the most recent book.
>>68166063
Well I wasn't in the three man scrums when I was in under 8s, but I was in the 4 man lineout.
>>68166053

>>68166175
It'll probably be Hooper.
Doesn't he have a leadership role in the squad?
>>68166196
>Skelt on bench
terrible idea, but itll probably happen
Pooper being manlets already means there is only 3 line-out options. Bringing Skelton off the bench reduces that by another
Holloway must be injured or something, I can't believe he wasn't picked. He can literally cover 6,8 and lock. he would be an awesome bench player on this team
>>68166197
Jaime, Stannis and Theon had the best chapters in the books and have been completely fucked by the show
>>68166175
I'd take lealililifaliliano 12, Kerevi 13, Pocock 7 and a big burly 8 (which I don't think we have).
I'm not a fucking memer who thinks that Pooper is actually a better combination than Pocock and someone who can jump in lineouts.
Locks are a mystery. We have no good options - Carter looked like he was going to be a prospect but he hasn't been that convincing this year. Probably him and Rory Arnold though.

There is one good 8 (Holloway) in Australia and he isnt in the squad, must be injured. The Brumbies lad was pretty good aswell but he literally pooicided mid-season and retired.
Palu is shit. McCalman is meh. Not worth playing either of them over Hooper or McMahon just because they are slightly better at lineouts.

Have to agree with Eddie here. I just can't see Cheik playing an uncapped lock (Arnold) and one who has barely played (Carter), even if I agree it is the best combo. Probably Simmons and Carter desu with Arnold or spookyskelton on the bench

I played 9 once in my career because the other team didn't have enough players, so we played 12 a side and dropped 6, 7, 8 off and I played 9 and 12 that game because I was one of the only people on the team who wasn't gash.
I played prop, hooker, 2nd row, 6, 8, 9 and 12 but my main position was 2nd row. For a couple of years (grade 8 and 9 I think) I played 2nd row but threw lineouts because our hooker was shithouse.

Locks are Arnold and Simmons, with Skelton on bench
Unfortunately Cheika is beholden to the Tahs after they betrayed their last coach so it'll be :

Hooper at 7
Locks: Skelton, Mumm, and some sacrificial lamb who'll get blamed for all the 2nd row problems like Carter
>>68166767
>Hunt at 12

It would literally make more sense to put him at 15, Kerevi 12, Folau 13 using that combination
Folau has been absolutely god-tier @ 13 and hasnt done shit at 15 for ages
>>68166229
I'd pick Luke Jones at 8 any day of the week. Same with Timani. Just because the Rebels coach has them at 2nd row doesnt mean shit.
To bad he must have fucked Cheikas wife or something because he's never been in even the wider squads, despite leading the run metres/linouts won for Australian 2nd rows.
>>68166675
He was really good last year hasn't really played as well but still a stand out in that dire team from what I have seen

Liam Gill is just about the hardest worker in Aus rugby. He's finally getting the teammates and pay he deserves by going to Toulon.
I'd argue Jones is idiot for running off though. He could walk into any Aus SR team at 4,5,6 or 8 (bar the Brumbies pack)
>>68166994
And just about the unluckiest player in the world. Gill is the Stuart MacGill of Rugby.
He could literally walk into the Ball Sacks team.

No it's generally played directly alongside the other leagues and competitions during the season, so most clubs use it for developing their youth.
Most teams will use their better players by the knockout games though. It's nowhere near as competitive or interesting as the old EDF Cup.
Likely Irish XV to lose to the Partially Blacks:
15. Madigan
14. Trimble
13. Payne
12. Henshaw
11. Earls
10. Jackson
9. Murray
8. Heaslip
7. Murphy
6. Stander
5. Henderson
4. Toner
3. Ross
2. Best
1. McGrath
Will Read be exposed as the shit player he is and be relegated to the bench now that Richie McGod isn't there to tell the coaching staff "trust me he is good, he will be my replacement"?
>>68175892
With the players they took with them this is the XV I'd like to see.
15. Payne
14. Gilroy
13. Henshaw
12. Marshall
11. Healy
10. Jackson
9. Murray
8. Heaslip
7. Stander
6. Henderson
5. Dillane
4. Toner
3. Ross
2. Best
1. McGrath

Nice fanfic lad.
Should I go to the game this sat lads? It's $60 for the cheap seats
>>68176108
Pretty much what I'd like to see too.
>>68175989
Why has he fallen so hard from grace? He's only 30, I'd have thought he'd be like 34 or something
>>68176158
I'm pretty sure that's the team most Irish fans and just neutral rugby fans would like to see.

He hasn't really fallen from grace most people love him and hype him to be Richie 2.0 (which he definitely is not)
He isn't the best player in NZ for the position he plays imo (number 8 specifically but any loose forward position) and there are other captaincy options available that while not groomed for the spot are great options (in my view he has started too many scraps for a captain also but most people let that slide). I think this combination will see him slide down the ranks
But the old boys club is pretty strong here in NZ so unless he gets exposed he will still be first pick
