Watch: The Dragons just signed 116kg of prime American beef

USA steal Warriors Gold

Thretton Palamo has seventeen caps for the Eagles and played much of his club rugby in Europe, becoming somewhat of a journeyman.

Palamo has played for Biarritz Olympique, Saracens, London Welsh, Bristol Rugby and now the Dragons, having also taken a sabbatical during this period to continue his studies.

He arrives at Rodney Parade as injury cover for Sam Beard and Tyler Morgan.

Beard suffered a shoulder injury against Edinburgh two weeks ago, while Morgan took a blow to the ribs in the win over Connacht last Friday night.

Bernard Jackman head coach of the Dragons said:

“He is a really good athlete, he is powerful and strong and has been surrounded by good environments since when he was with Saracens as well as during his time at the American 7s programme for the Olympics.

“I know him from when he was with Saracens and he’ll be a good addition to the squad, I look forward to seeing him play. He will be included in the match-day 23 for Ulster.”

'Weary Wallabies have become too predictable and easy to unpack on tour'

All the Wallabies losses up to the England had been “good” as the games at one point or another lateish had still been winnable and some good footy played even last week they were there at one point not by luck just stacked errors and unable to defend them which was a hallmark of earlier in the season …they on the right track Super going to be huge as there are positions up for grabs

Boks dominate World Rugby awards with 3 nominees for player of the year

1. Joe Schmidt being allowed to criticise match officials in a press conference but Rassie getting banned for same. 2. Awarding the Coach Of The Year award to a little known French 7s coach inspite of Rassie winning The Rugby Championship + Rugby World Cup. 3. Removing the Coach Of The Year category altogether the very next awards cycle because Rassie is undeniable this time, there is no French 7s coach to use for deflecting criticism, all because politics dictate Rassie CANNOT be awarded at all cost. 4. Nominating 3 Boks so as to split the votes all this to facilitate Bielle-Biarrey winning the award as his votes will be concentrated. 5. I can go on the list is long… Current list of Boks suspended to try weaken the Boks, albeit in vain as the Boks are just winning: Andre Wessels, Lood De Jager, Franco Mostert, Makazole Mapimi…

'Weary Wallabies have become too predictable and easy to unpack on tour'

He only played one test against the lions and missed good whack of Super and Rugby Championship but I hear u he looked off against Ireland but want to give him a chance to finish strong and Harry to but he has played a heap so why I benched him ..I feel to there is a largish amount of neutrals and Oz fans want to see Bobby play some 8 Fraser 100% needs to play there some would make giving Tizzano time off bench smoother and options … Oz got great loosies Brial, Uru, Cale ( if he can make it back) Tuilima, Reimer all quality players

It would be interesting to have insight into AB training sessions. Does Love ever get to actually run at 10 or is it just DMac and BB alternating defence and attack with Love holding the tackle bags?

Provided Razor gets his bench strategy worked out. ATM does he bring DMac on because he sees the right moment for impact or is it causal?

P you are one of the contributors on this site who is worth reading. I have screeds of “comment hidden” notifications because I don’t have the time or patience to read the drivel dished up by the EM’s and AP’’s who take any opportunity to take ye conversation away from rugby and into a prep school “my father can whip your father” level. And it takes far too much time to scroll past the drivel. Thanks for your considered posts and obvious knowledge of matters rugby.

He has been a little overhyped because of his size imo. He does well against poor scrummaging teams but has been dominated by the better scrums in the world

'Weary Wallabies have become too predictable and easy to unpack on tour'

I like your team, Bazz. I would like to see Hunter against the French. He is a good impact 12, and would allow Len Ik.move out to his natural 13 spot. Su I would put on the wing, just not sure what his kicking game is like. But he needs to move out of the more pressured centre spot. Be interested to see him under the high ball coming from depth. With his size he would be a better bet than the current wings. Kellaway is probably the best and most secure 15.

The other difference to your team would be playing both Tizz and FMR. They would complement each other so well. Tizz far stronger over the ball, harder to shift by cleaners. He is also the better head on tackler. Fmr lightening fast and amazingly strong when he has that extra fraction of a second….but is cleaned more easily. Fmr the superior runner and passer of the ball.

its baffling - whats more, apparently BB had an injury prior to the game, so they went into it with players less than 100

Yes it generally doesn’t rest on one or two players in camp.

But it does rest on the player with the ball in his hands looking at the touchline in the game.
