Chiefs and Saracens close in on Wasps

But you obviously have heard of Patrick Pellegrini…

Have to think you’re going to believe something is seriously wrong with NZR come 2027! Seriously I can’t see much movement away from the 3 they have now, Dmac, Beaudy, and Pero. Some exciting talent coming through but I can’t see them having enough rough edges taken off to out bid Richie for instance. That said, having those three disrupted for a returning Richie wouldn’t be the best thing either.

Why would be great for Tonga. I’ve said it before, he’d be the worlds best playmaking 12 if he switched and it’s probably going to be the only way he can get onto the field in 2027 with Dmac and Pellegrini ahead of him. Would be great if he did come back to SR as a bargain but does he have an option for Fiji too if his nephew is playing for them?

Those two on the other side were pretty experienced as wisey props though!

In the 3 years leading up to the 2023 World Cup Ireland conceded more than 28 points only twice (one of those times being against NZ). SA managed only 1 try and 8 points against them. So you could argue it was one of the best attacking displays of the previous 3 years.

Carter is a ridiculously high bar to hold people to to decide if they’re good or not.

I recall Sexton playing in that QF, Ireland having more ball and possession, and playing against 14 men for 20 minutes, and not winning the game.

Attacking opportunities will be different under the Nienaber system. We saw some incisive attack and a couple of good tries against the Bulls and against Sharks.

Arguably we might get a better idea of Leinsters attack of these SA matches where the players by and large are immersed only on Leinster and not mixing time with the Irish setup.

Re the Irish setup, Farrell has to make a decision. The IRFU also. Nienaber contract ends in 2026. Should Ireland change play to something different like Leinster?

I would say yes, but if there needs to by alignment with Leinster then there must be certainty that Leinster is playing that way in 2026 onward.

That’s why I believe IRFU could have leveraged the Nienaber appointment with Leinster.

Obvious man was Felix Jones, but that bird has flown.

I don’t believe it would make Ireland world beaters. But clearly these young Leinster players are comfortable playing this way and it could make Ireland extremely difficult to beat in a World Cup which is a key attribute in winning knock out matches.

I think in the next few years we will see a SA 4 IRL 4 last 8.

They will tweak the schedule to give less disadvantage to SA. Even if that is worth 5 points per SA team, that puts almost all in play offs. More Springboks also in play perhaps.

The ‘other’ Irish provinces got hurt a little by Leinsters win dominance this year (having to play them twice). But IMO they are all building again, and although some more Leinster academy players will be released to the provinces and they will get a little centralized help the onus will be on them to find ways to close the gap with Leinster which they will start to do next year.

I was expecting that he was on an actual 10 min rampage in Sapporo. Running down the high street in angry, Hulk mode. Headbutting pensioners. Kicking wingmirrors off the parked cars.

I do agree that calling the Sharks side ‘Springbok-laden’ is a bit deceptive. I would say:

Almost definite Bok starters in 2025: Ox, Bongi, Siya

Part of the match 23: Jaden, Koch (although the two best tightheads in the country are Malherbe and Wilco Louw so he might struggle).

Regular Bok B team members: Mapimps, Esterhuizen, Jordan

Still, the Sharks should not lose at home to a Leinster B/C side. Coaching is terrible.

It’s not often that a team ships two yellow cards and 14 penalties and still gets out with a double score win. They got skinned on the possession and territory stats too. Both locks where class.

By the time the next World Cup rolls around the Barrett vs. DMac vs. Mo’unga debate will have been going for the best part of 10 years without a single genuine contender emerging.

They divide opinion but all three ARE world class players. It is so strange that the last world class 10 to emerge in NZ was Mo’unga who made his SR debut in 2016.
