Ex-England prop Paul Rendall dies

He's wrong about DMac too, he's signed through to 2029.

It’s not surprising one of Lancaster’s favorite analysts who was with him during that World Cup disaster is pushing him for the Wallaby job tho ……

There is no doubt the Tahs will be desperate to have someone in their pocket, like Schmidt or Lancaster to be able to undermine Kiss from within the team, like Andrew Blades was undermining Ewen McKenzie. Especially after McKenzie took over the scrum coaching because Blades was so useless and the Wallaby scrum started to improve dramatically, pushing the All Blacks and Bok and Argie packs back.

Look at how well the Tahs are going with a pommy attack coach. It’s a joke. A pom trying to teach an Australian team how to run backline moves ? Have you ever heard anything so absurd !

Ryan Smith found being captain and lineout calling too much. Let him stick to the hard yakka, which he is great at. The Reds badly miss one of the world’s premier lineout operators in Izaak Rodda, thanks to kiwi Thorn of course. Who decided to appoint a non Australian born captain to the Reds, so Thorn didn’t feel so much like an outsider, instead of Rodda who deserved it being their premier player. He appointed Liam Wright instead and look how well that has worked out for Wright, greedily taking a position he not deserve.
