The Rugby Thread (Part 1)

That question will be answered tomorrow.

@GeoffreyBoycott

Have you pick a 2021 Lions team on current form ?

Ingerland are shit mate.

The ingerlish pack hasnt shredded anyone of note in ten years.

Are any of the national teams comprised of people from that country anymore? Argentina and the boks even?

Why? He was a v good full back ever before he played in the centre. Definitely worth a look

Best is underrated. The vuinapolas are hugely overrated. Itoje is world class, the only world class player ingerland have, apart from cipriani, who I have been reliably informed farrell detests, and refuses to have in the same squad.

Billy vunipola is a one trick pony and brittle as fuck unfortunately for England. Mako is miles a better player he might edge out Healy alright but wouldnt be a gimme

Mako is too big to trouble a decent team.

It’s a pretty awesome one trick though.

Any opinions on the u20’s side tomorrow night? Seem to be light on South Africans.

Interesting to see henshaw fb, it is his original and preferred position but its a position for pace and has he got it for this game I’m not sure. God forbid but zebo could have been useful now and played there. I’ll be shouting for our Irish brethren in the ardú anyway.

Kearney hasn’t lightning pace either, security of possession is what Schmidt wants first and foremost.

Kearney is quick enough off a break/catch at this level, we’ll see

Henshaw will be nothing but safety as a full back but will pop up in midfield as an extra runner for some trademark Schmidt ‘powerplay’ the leads to a try that will have off the ball wanking for a week and that will have @myboyblue seething.

Is that the name for a spy who works for Schmidt?

Schmidt showing his credentials here as a top class manager.

Rob Kearney has never really put a foot wrong under Joe’s tenure. But his time is up. Strong leadership in fairness.

Ferguson esque.
