Champions Cup : Le Racing 92 chute lourdement devant Sale

Le Roux failed out of NH comps at every turn. Maybe good for a SH player. But that's a low bar when you rely on the incompetence of the refs to win.

He has skills that no one else in the world has and plays at a level no one else can.

Anyone with at least half a brain knows this. Which is why it is lost on the SH thickos.

How small a number is 100 though, not small enough to be used in this context? There wouldn't really be much between players from 100 to 300 I wouldn't think, but from 70 to 300? 50 through 300?

Some of those names around the 50/60/70 mark I remember as pretty interchangable and only there on current form, which doesn't always last.

As the article says anyhow, its really how many players you've got that were in the top 100, and soon will be in the top 100, that really provide the imputes to a title winning team.

Being essentially put on gardening leave is pretty poor from the RFU.

But he didn't play those guys very often, that is the arugment of the article Longshanks.

It's just a article after all. It is missing all sorts of data from being anything like comprehensive. Rassie might feel that bring a player off the bench in an impact role is more important that 'starting' (the focus of this article) for instance. It doesn't highlight that Razzie had multiple unused subs altogether over the season.

How are the Saffa's actually, do you think you're going to want to go into 2025 still trying to prove you're the worlds best side, or have they accepted things as they are?

Rassie is winning, so now is the best time to introduces as many players as possible.

Razor is not. His side needed a makeover in their style, results and mood were uncertain. He selected the most obvious players needed to spice things up but anymore, like Sotutu who I suggested to you before would be a prime example of this idea, and they risk going backwards in amongst all this negativity?

How is Razor off to a great start? Why are you comparing it to Rassie's?

Is the message your giving a sign you've just thrown this year in the dunny and putting the house on next year?

Have you changed mind and accepted a side this good should just carry on improving cohesion now?

You agree a side that is the second best team should remain this stable in it's first year? Same again next year, or is more depth needed, but not a lot of experimenting, to push for #1?

Or is what you said actually completely irrelevant and stability, cohesion, experimenting focuses that just should be used if and when needed?

I've got a couple of T shirts..
