Champions Cup : le Racing fait tourner pour aller à Glasgow

When do we want it? Now!

I’m definitely going to try watch more Japan league one this year. If I can manage my body clock for the live games.

RugbyPass, you need to get on it. Where are the games fixtures and stats etc?

As well as for the women’s games?

Maybe assign Ben Smith to it. He can channel that rabbity energy into burrowing into League One. Start adding some value to the world. Of Rugby.

But as Nickers suggests, I think he's worked extremely hard on his game so I don't want to throw him out. Tough one.

Look I'm not going to bore you with a thesis on player weight reporting, you can either accept to believe me or not, it matters nudda either way, but I've tracked a few places/data, and what I've found to be accurate shows that.

Now where you may be going wrong, is height. I make the case that Jordie should be much heaving than his 103/104kgs because he's nearly as tall as his brother, his limbs are longer etc so carry more mass.

That's why Aki is so good even those he weighs less, he's much shorter in limbs, so much easier for him to use his muscle mass to his advantage. Think Tuitupou, Nonu. Now how that plays out on the field is a different story but ALB looked like the only midfielder this year to succesfully punch the line (but then he also got caught out wide turning a few times too).

Agreed though, finally getting some size at 12 took them past that block. Jordie also adds a huge amount around the field.

Look I agree but you're argument isn't a good one. One game does not make a season make. JB has a lot to answer for.

With Leicester and Proctor as spare peices, it's certainly a good bet though.

I like your preference for specializing and Timoci has found a good niche. Neither of his teams have a lot of depth though and some of what they have is on the wing (Crusaders/Leicester example is flipped, where wing is the weak spot).
