'Genuine deep cut': Picture of gruesome Sam Cane head injury revealed

Lio-Willie brings more physicality, defensively and offensively, than Sotutu has in his whole career. It seems Sotutu has taken to Akira Ioane’s form of “if I’m huge then the AB’s will select me” which is simply not true anymore. Sotutu needs to do work on defense and operate in a lineout. Haven’t really seen a master class in either of those this season, while Christian has been excellent at lineout time as 3rd/4th option and always gets at least 10 tackles, usually bruising ones.

It’s a corporate conn. It's just a second honeymoon for baby boomers to spunk their kids university funds.

Although the 2001 and 2009 series's were brilliant to be fair.

The second test in 2009 was the only game - for me - to match the 2000 Bledisole cup game.

But he was among the absolute best man and ball tacklers around. Marcus is nowhere near that.

For all his attacking play, he would be the last line of defence at full back.

Liability.

5:3 is the only option for me. Although it looks like Australia will essentially have 15 wingers playing.

I only really get the highlights to be fair. With super rugby it's a dozen games a weekend.

I only really have time to watch Connaght get dumped on at home. That's 80 mins well spent.

Flustered and trying to force the game by running everything from his own 22, not so much.

I'm sure every Aussie worth their salt wants him to start the test series. At 10!

They'd eat and shyte him.

Conan looks to the sidelines at 79 mins to see what to do. Sticks or tap it?! Advice welcome.

A 3 PT game about to hit 80 mins with a routine penalty on offer. Any decent coach at the start of the season would explain that in those situations TAKE YOUR KICK.

Non-negotiable. It shouldn't even be a decision to make. Remove the decision making from the process.

It's at the stage where these ‘learning opportunities’ are now becoming mental scars for talented players.

I actually feel bad for big Jordie. He's been treated like dirt.

He's been around close to a decade with heir last big one in 2018. Not a single meaningful trophy in their last 4 seasons is embarrassing.

That those loses have all been single figures and hung on some individual errors, only reflects on him. He can't coach it out of them. Not up to it.

Dublin 4 is a closed shop and at this rate they may not even keep Nienaber interested.

Pumping Zebre by 70 does not a season make.

The hype machine seems to be centred around a different 20 something.

This is the lad with the complete game.
