Tom Brady wishes Tom Brady all the best for Super Bowl LI

By Harry West
New England Patriots’ Tom Brady and his Leicester Tigers namesake

Tom Brady is busy preparing for his seventh Super Bowl, and he has received a good luck message from…Tom Brady.

The legendary New England Patriots quarterback seeks his fifth Super Bowl victory when he goes up against the Atlanta Falcons in Houston on Sunday.

One man who might be glad when the Super Bowl hype has all died down is the Leicester Tigers wing of the same name.

That Brady has been inundated with posts on Twitter from fans mistaking him for the Patriots talisman, although he did take the time on Sunday to send a message of his own to his namesake.

🥱 if it was a forward try then they would have checked it with tv match official. It's ok, you guys lost.

How a one-page hotel note saved Pat Lam from the sack at Bristol

Well that explains why they suddenly started to play to their potential for the second half of the season. And to think that he had the answer all the time.


Let's see whether they can keep it up this season.

Robertson on why Sam Cane keeps starting for the All Blacks

WJ just came off injury, and MT is terrible in defense. Like, awful. Hard to watch sometimes. His carrying does not make up for it most of the time. Also, Razor is trying to play with a power wing (CC or SR or MT) and a technical wing (WJ or RI when ALB comes on).


Sam Cane played for the Chiefs, so I don't understand how that is Crusaders bias. There are only two crusaders in the starting forward pack: Codie Taylor (who is definitely the best hooker in NZ) and Scott Barrett (the captain and one of the best locks in NZ).


Razor is not allowed to select from players that are not in his TRC training group. So he couldn't pick Lakai or Lord if he wanted to. Also, plenty of new props are coming through so I don't understand that complaint? Williams, Newell, Tosi, etc. Sam Darry is a new lock coming through.


Payton Spencer is too young, Zarn Sullivan is overrated, same for AJ Lam. The hate on AS for a couple of bad games is crazy. I agree he would be better utilised at seven, but then who would play 6? Scooter? We just have to wait for Frizell to come back unfortunately, and Blackadder to stop being such a glass cannon.


The only player the All Blacks need is Richie Mounga. Damian Mackenzie had been fing awful. Like a wannabe white RM. Does not have the build, pace, kicking game, or IQ to be the All Blacks best option at 10.

Leinster start URC season with comeback win over Edinburgh

Good start by Leinster. The change of gear at 12-19 down for 3 quickfire tries was impressive.

Prendergast looking a year older bigger and stronger. Some of his chip throughs were class. Slimani did OK as tight head, Piardi on the whistle maybe hard on him.

‘Did Conrad really score that many’: Rieko Ioane dismisses All Blacks drought

Yeah agreed, with ALB's small improvements and return to full fitness the last two years I think he's good enough to play 12 in order to unlock Jordie a bit more from the back. I'd prefer that to this weeks combo.

Oh I know why, and it's illogical. It's the definition of insanity, not to mention you don't even need what he's been proving he can't provide, against Australia.


They seriously need to actually take a step back and look at what good coaches like Joe and Rassie are doing with their squad. Even SB moved on from some good blackline players early. SA might lose this weekend but at least it what be because of weakness's in players they already know about!! Well maybe le Roux will be selected again and undermine my point, I hope not.

Just asking a question, but you've got a 7 playing at 8, an 8 playing at 6...? Why persist with players out of position at test level?

How the All Blacks were caught up after 'golden decade'

I read a lot of articles about code Nick, have done for many years. This is very well written. You do a fine job of understanding the brains and brawn of NZ rugby, why the wheels have come off, and why sititi might just be the new Michael jones. Great read!

I suppose you have to "put Super Rugby titles above World Cup titles", when you are unable to win World Cup titles.
