Clermont : victime d'un KO contre Castres, Belleau va subir des examens

I hope it's a springboard for better things to come, seemed like they were trying to return to more of their link play and was a bit more timing and speed to it than over the last year. Also did well to play to Australia, where you have to hold onto the ball a step or two further.

Very unlucky for Aus not to have squeaked over or at least drew at the end, I'd be worried that Schmidt hasn't had the team find the same flair and panache as they did against England, repeatedly turned down chances to run and counter at the end. Really though they have to be stoked that the pressure now goes on to the B&I Lions to pick the right players and find cohesion, because generally it's much hard for that team to perform as the sum of their parts.

All the training being out into practicing a dance routine. It all adds up to the mediocre performance produced against Italy.

The Italian team had the advantage of just focusing on rugby without any BS.

I think the idea needs further development and to evolve, and that might be back to how it used to be, where players leave for two or three years before they come back (so they can actually be better when they return, or at least ready and firing).

He's World Rugby's 10 of the year, I wouldn't have known enough of the others to decide that mate.

Dmac and Mo'unga have always remained in good nick though, polar opposite to Carter, so they will likely be gtg, yes.

Plummer still had a good opportunity imo, but in reality you have to think he wasn't given it because he wasn't re-signing.

Accusing me of behaving like Walter is a bit rich.

Being an Australian I'm obviously neutral in this argument ,I just say it as I see it.

But you are a carbon copy of Jacko in your anyone but Mounga stance. Jacko started with a preference for BB and then when he realised he wasn't cutting the mustard he switched to DMac. Now he has gone very quiet.

If you were being facetious (sorry can't remember peoples previous tones) then I fully agree, there's no rhyme or reason to what razor will do.
