Former French giants Biarritz ready to splash the cash on two frontrowers - reports

“The Drua are identical to Moana.”

And Fijian Drua are not the same as “Fiji”.

“Of course you can. You just can’t make it represent a whole country ala South Africa. I’m sure theres hundres of Scottish or Irish rep teams all over.”

Name literally one team that restricts selection to only white people. If any exist, I would say that that is bad, because I am not racist. But I don’t believe you’ll be able to name one.

“At least you got one thing right, a person can call themselves white if they want, or Maori, and be involved in any such like minded group. Just don’t be like the KKK and make it a racial group 😋”

Are you aware that ability to play for NZ Maori is determined according to racial heritage? And that the same will be true of players deemed “Japanese” under the new JRFU eligibility rules?

“While I’m sure you realise you’re wrong about about the picture you tried to paint (and probably new before posting) in your OP”

I’m not wrong. Racism is bad.

“I don’t have faith that you were able to corelate the two examples”

This doesn’t make sense. “Correlate” doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means. Its also not clear what examples you’re referring to; is it the JRFU and Moana? The JRFU and NZ Maori? The Maori and hypothetical whites only teams?

“Happy to keep replying until you do, again”

Again? When has this happened before?

ie He does what a centre is supposed to do…which demonstrably RI does not. Wont matter a damn though. Razor is besotted with RI. Blinkered selections are a feature of all AB teams.

Undoubtedly, there’ll be some excellent replacements. But, RWC winning excellence?

The backline was borderline dysfunctional on attack by the end of last year, unable to capitalise on even the most simple overlaps that most club teams would be able to exploit. It cost us a try in each of the tests vs SA in SA at the start of the season - A 6 on 2, and a 5 on 2 with half the width of the field available on both occasions, as well as a 6 on 3 going begging against France in Paris, where on of the 3 was a prop who had already given up and conceded a try would be scored, only for the attack to take the only option that could mess it up. Massive miscommunication between BB, ALB, and Reiko solely to blame.

Reiko does not seem to be on the same page as the rest of the backline on attack. And despite his size, speed, and strength, he doesn’t seem to give defenders too many headaches in 1 on 1 situations.

Many say he is in the team for his defence, which may be true. But Proctor can learn to be a better defender, I think Reiko has shown he is not going to become an attacking threat at 13, and even worse may even be a liability there.
