Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

Exactly, always jams in as doesn't have that electric pace required to go on the outside like Telea, etc.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

He’s actually suggesting the ABs flip it on SA and dominate them with their set piece power game.

If you’re trying to say “bring it on then”, good on you, NZ won most of the games with free flowing rugby instead, so SA can do the same to them if they get it right too.

Significantly more experienced, larger and faster. Also more valuable to the team as midfielder also. No comparison.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

For me it’s the way it effects his ability to put aways chances where he’s givin plenty of space down the sidelines. He always jams in when he should be scoring in the corner.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

He’s certainly going to be slower with his size and physique, yes, but his real issue is that he can’t beat a man on the outside, and sure extra pace would help like it did when Clarke decided to get a bit lighter again, but you’re right, its mainly his ability to engineer extra space and time, not outright pace, that he lacks.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

With last year’s results, the All Blacks surrendered the Freedom Cup for the first time since 2010, having maintained it throughout the entirety of South Africa’s reign as world champions until then.

And only the second time in history. Congratulations to SA on both come from behind wins. Its new life that has no doubt sparked the interest in having three tests series again, like the Bledisloe, and culminated in a new era of bilateral Rugby Championship rugby tours. Lets hope the recent change to hosting both games works in NZs favour this year!

take them on in the physicality stakes.

As we always try to do.

The Black Ferns' youth factor kicking in ahead of World Cup

Well yes. Playing 26 more tests since 2019 than the Black Ferns, for example, obviously allows ENG to blood more players. And to test combinations. As any Coach will say, nothing beats game time.

The PWR also adds to ENG's immense advantage, say compared to Super Rugby Aupiki. Under current formats, the PWR gives players elite competition for 16 matches, plus the possibility of a top 4 Semi & a Final. On the other hand, SRA gives players 6 games plus a Final & 3rd/4th match for the bottom two.

Louis Rees-Zammit rugby return: 'It's time to come home'

Agree here, I have no interest in NFL rugby players or not. Wade is another example. It's their career but youd get better odds with a lottery ticket.

Van der Flier Lions cut creates ripples with Ireland but Ryan gets late reward

Tuipulotu had a tight hamstring. That was the reason he didnt go for the second test. Not sure it's fixed or not.

Graham got injured early on the Tursday match meaning Kinghorn had way more minutes than I think were planned, otherwise might have moved Lowe a week earlier.

Ryan hasnt been great for ages but seems to have stepped up. Cummings did well against FNP but I think the Ryan decision was already made.

Part of me wonders if Itoji and Ryan will both do 80 and the whole back row will change this week.

Louis Rees-Zammit rugby return: 'It's time to come home'

Yes!! But don’t come back to a Welsh region being its situation. Either an Irish region or English , even French or South African and Scottish. Take example of Tomos Williams and expand your game not for the benefit of of Welsh appearances but for your overall game.

You were just at the start of your international career albeit a brilliant start but you need to progress to greater heights on your re introduction to the international scene.

At the end of the day, you need to do what’s best for you

England ace withdrawn from training on eve of final Lions' Test

James Lowe was picked over VDM as he’s “reliable under high ball, good in defence with a great left boot”.. Offered nothing in attack(1 off-load aside) in 2 tests, and hasn't done any of the 3 things above well. Why wouldn’t you pick VDM?

Ben Kay: 'I think Tom Curry will go down as a Lions great and he’s only just turned 27.'

I’m an avid Jack Morgan fan “ being welsh” but I never allow my patriotism to over rule my judgement on a players skill ,ability ,dominance and overall game management. I think that Tom Curry is the all round complete 7 and has deserved his place as such on this tour.

Jack however as he has proved when he has entered the game frame has excelled and is obviously a lions legend in the making.

Look out for him in the next few tours. But for now let’s enjoy the exemplary performance of Curry and the same for our Jack when he makes his appearance.

Come on you Lions 🦁 🔥

You might be right about the points difference as it will be a different under strength Irish team without Wall. King and possibly Wafer.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

He's lazy and doesn't get involved, he's not scored any try as a wing in over a year. Yes, he was first choice but has well and truly played himself out of first choice, that's why Ioane is on the wing. Ioane and Jordan are rapid, Clarke is out of shape and out of form so isn't rapid. As soon as he gets out of condition his speed drops right off.
