Frawley titulaire, l'Irlande fait 7 changements contre le Pays de Galles

Considering that 10 of the 2023 NZ squad for the RC were born outside, do you acceot that NZ supporters attacking Ireland or Aki may be guilty of hypocrisy?

Do you accept the bad taste in attcking Aki during an article on his citizenship?

Will you also accuse me of being an embarrassment to Ireland for holding these views?

It's not unusual for a non-explosive winger to peak late - for example Ben Smith and Cory Jane were only established test regulars at about 27.

Would you say that JGP had a bit of an attitude problem in his youth? Not recalcitrant, just didn't do everything he needed to for success. That seems to be his own testimony. He had a lot of good halfbacks around his own age at the time so real success must have seemed a long way away - Smith, TKB, TJP, Weber, Hall.

You certainly have to credit the Ireland recruitment team and provincial coaches. They must have cursed the new five years rule.

As a lot of us have been saying for ages, expecting an All Black head coach to nominate his assistants when applying is too restrictive.

14%.

Ask yourself why Beaudy has been brought back in at 15 for the next game. Why? Because DMac needs that support, he cannot run the cutter on his own.

I feel and EP + Top 14 merger could be easier to manage, and it could also have the spin-off of allowing English Championship teams to become fully pro in the ProD2 - if they want to.
