The 2019 Final?? Graham, lad????


England emptied the sack to hammer the ABs in the semi. They got the boks in the final. It was the physical equivalent of a seniors team playing an U12s.

That’s my point though. For a confidence player I don’t think it’s great to get waved off by your coach for an early bath.


His kicking is still suspect which I can’t understand. It’s his only weakness in a strong all round game. Don’t get why he isn’t being coached overtime to improve.


He’s the twice the player that Pollard is in open play.

Not sure why anyone is taking Stephen Donald seriously. Dead average player back in the day and clearly not the sharpest tool in the box.


Simple fact is that Barrett traded up not down when he moved to the Northern Hemisphere and some fragile egos in NZ, where they still believe the All Blacks are the game’s standard-bearers, can’t handle it.

I did. There’s an Irish language channel (TG4) that shows most of the Irish clubs games.


I thought the score flattered Connacht. They were well beaten. Again, he looks the business but he’d an arm chair ride from a dominant pack against one of the worst defences in the league.


If he does it in the next RWC final then he can have a statue.

have googled and tour speaking the worst kind of Irish,. You are generalising in desperation. Start testing 18 year old schoolboys before you point fingers.

Four SA players tested positive for Clenbuterol of the four only Nkosi and Jantjies were involved in 2019 - none of them in 2023. During the WC campaign they were tested and found clean by WR. If you really think drugs was the reason why SA won the WC I sincerely hope all the Irish coaches and staff believe that too.

Could you name your sources for this statement of fact? All those squad members were playing in international competitions regularly so how did they get away with it. And I still come back to the question why Ireland steadfastly refuse to test 18 year old schoolboys? Schoolboy rugby union players report the highest susceptibility to doping among those sampled, compared with other athletes and non-athletes.” the RFU issued this statement in 2019. The Craven Week competition is the most intensively tested rugby competition in the world. But of course Irish schoolboys are different.

Agree with all that you say here Nick, the mix of the Atonio’s, Skeltons and Tamiefunas with the Kolbe’s, Arende’s and Darcy Grahams is great to watch but you are wide of the mark on data set analysis. Your quote on table sets even references tables with millions of records regarding mean for a reason. Data on a few hundred (and that’s stretching it) props is nowhere near this category and doesn’t have the same statistical characteristics or parameters. The smaller the data set becomes, the more relevant median also becomes for certain purposes.

I watch both, and about 3 New Zealand teams are above the rest of the Super rugby teams, 3 and that’s being overly generous. On the hand the Urc has 12 teams battling for the top 8, bigger attendance figures than Super rugby, and different challenges which make the Urc intriguing and interesting for the fans right up to the end. Quality of urc is very high. And improving yearly. I was recently at the Force v Reds in Perth and it was very good. But poor defence from both sides. 3 New Zealand teams, might win the Urc, that’s about it…

Let’s get one thing straight. Schoolboys in SA were getting bust for drugs while SA legislation was not WADA compliant. It’s not as if there was no body testing for drugs in sport in SA. The problem was that in 2021 the Doping regulations were changed to globally unify standards and tests. The changes needed to be made by the SA anti doping body SAIDS centred around the use of asthma drugs and ASDHD drugs and the legislation had to be changed by Parliament. The new rules were introduced in 2021 and it took a long time to get the changes through. My information is that SA were complying with the new laws but they had not yet been passed by Parliament. And SA were playing overseas very often during that time and were continuously tested by the world body especially as the law had not been promulgated.The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport Amendment Act came into force on 5 August 2024. Ireland on the other hand insist that testing of 18 year old schoolboys is a violation of their rights.

I’m very excited to speak about (FRANCISCO HACK), A couple of months ago I mistakenly clicked on a link in my email resetting my crypto wallet password and I clicked on it all of a sudden I couldn’t access my wallet and all my funds were transferred to another wallet I keep getting emails on how they were transferring my funds $77,089. I was very mad and frustrated. I didn't know what to do. I came across a testimony review of a woman who recovered all her funds from a hacker called (FRANCISCO HACK), I did my research because I never wanted to fall into these online scammers. Immediately I consulted the hacker through their email. I rendered my case and they looked into it and within some hours they recovered everything. I couldn't believe it until I saw my funds in my wallet. And I even sent some out to be sure it was real and God so good it was real. I’m truly amazed by their excellent service and professional work. I highly recommend (FRANCISCO HACK) For all your cryptocurrency recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity-related issues. If your case is the same as mine I do advise you to consult them immediately.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

So tired of hearing how the refs beat the AB’s perhaps we should look at the NZ ref who was rewarded for the worst refereeing performance in memory at the WC (by Lawrence’s “I froze” own admission,) by becoming the WR high performance ref manager. I think it was the AB kickers who did the team shafting. The real difference wasn’t 14/15 it was Pollard 100% vs AB misses.
