Revoir le plus bel essai du Top 14 après une course de 127 mètres

Argentina beat a French b team - an impressive feat given France's depth, but given how handily Ireland beat the French first team this year its not a result that will worry Farrell particularly. The wins against New Zealand and South Africa are more substantial achievements, but both were very close games against weaker opposition than Ireland.

Get him to teach players how not to tackle - by using his own normal technique. Could be a nice little earner for thier union.

For $50 you can get a selfie with him and he can recreate his RWC red card.

Yeah we’d like mounga and Frizzell currently but that’s about it, they’ll be here for World Cup anyway. We’re thin in a couple positions as mentioned earlier…that’s just nature of the game but some younguns will fill the void quickly as we’ve always done.

Disagree on NH comps piddling on Super Rugby. To your point around “trolling”, calling super rugby a farmer league is just that…I’ll happily trot out a chiefs, blues or crusaders team against the best of NH club teams….isnt ex replacement first five for hurricanes Ihaia West the starting 10 at the best club? Speaks volumes.

Schoolboy teams are perennial winners, not the u20s but they’ll get there.

It is time to bring in a SH thinker who can save the game from ruin.

It's the mark of a bonded, skilled team when the syringe boks nick a single point win.

It's pure luck though when others do it? You're an absolute mong.

You forgot the silverware we've already won this year. We're 5/7 this year with a very tasty November ahead.

Christ, you couldn't love those boks even if you birthed them. Utterly horrid. Stick to your 10 man game.

No praise like self-praise. I've been better wound up by jigsaw puzzles. Keep trying though, hero!

Suppose apartheid was in the past too, so should never be brought up. Especially as it's no bearing on the current game.

Well, beyond mandatory racial quotas. That aside though.

No idea what a whining pom is.

The autumn is shaping up to be a cracking few weekends of rugby.

It's not your fringe players that are walking into euro teams. It's nailed on starters who are leaving huge voids in the AB squad by playing overseas!

That's why they are stuck with a diminutive fullback cos playing as a #10 (and costing them wins with kicking).

The aura of earning €250k a year in Europe is a bigger draw than the current aura of the ABs jersey. They'd the arrogance to think that would never happen.

I've no affection for the UCR although it piddles all over SR in terms of quality. It's the European comps that drives the NH game. You always see a few sabbatical ABs popping up their too.

I suspect you’re either Irish or SA as most of you seem to suffer from the same insecurities. URC is the shiny new toy, enjoy it before it gets old.
