Transferts - Laurent Travers cible Rob Valetini pour renforcer le Racing 92

Would it be possible to have a similar article covering pay structures in women’s rugby?

They want to maximize their power in short bursts, then recover for the next effort. Teams like Bristol are the opposite. They want high ball in play to keep the oppo moving, they want quicker resolution at set pieces, and if anyone is to kick the ball out, they want it to be the other team.

The way rugby is there will always be a place for set piece based teams, but progression in the game is associated far more with the Black Ferns/Bristol style.

The scrum is a crucible. We have still not solved the problem of scrums ending in FKs and penalties, sometimes with yellow cards attached. A penalty ought not to be the aim of a scrum, a dominant SP should lead to greater attacking opportunity as long as the offence is not dangerous but technical in nature.

Apparently it’s not his fault though, it’s everyone else’s.

It was also very interesting to watch the Portugal game this year, it showed these matchs have value imo.

Robertson wants Mounga back because he's the only one who can play the way he wants. This kind of limited, narrow minded thinking is exactly why the All Blacks have gone backwards from last year.

1) it's just boring. It's every article about him. Tell us something new.

2) the fact that Marler said nice things about him isn't especially surprising. Opoku-Fordjour had already established himself as a really exciting prospect at the u20 world cup, and in the weeks following Marler's endorsement many people made similar observations.

3) the content of Marler's remarks wasn't especially interesting either. He basically just said that Opoku-Fordjour was good. That's not a level of analysis that anyone will find remotely enlightening.
