'Ambitions of the club match my own': Italy prop signs for Irish

But back to the midfield discussion, I just think only one can be allowed to operate in a cohesive and lethal AB backline. Two stifles it too much to be beneficial with it's 'stability'.

Nonu couldn't kick either. He followed exactly the same positional path I'm suggesting of Rieko. He can develop some subtility, it would be a huge work for sure, but hopefully his only one (I think he has a simple enough passing game to give it to Proctor to distribute, and would be comfortable enough with 12's lines already).

I haven't seen enough of the French 5/8s, but I'd definitely put them in the Dmac class of special players. Sacha of course will be a great but you can't count him for the same reason I haven't counted Dmac.

I think you're blind Nick. The position and backline plays exactly like it is Dmacs. Is that in and of itself a criticism? I think you could fairly say it is so until Dmac goes through some big games and finds out what works or doesn't work.

I think that you live under the auspices (your favourite word) of a broken mind. It can't be from rugby though as you've clearly never played the game.

If you reference culture wars on a rugby platform, then you deserve to get called out for the utter fool that you are.

Enjoy your flat earth Eddie the duck - quack, quack.

Seems like they play at a baseball park. Hope the owner can find someone to run it.
