Big hole left in international rugby. What an absolutely legend he is and has been. The Page has truly turned to a new chapter of rugby with all these greats leaving us. There won't be another Richie McCaw for a long time.
Rugby players die all the time man. Hundreds die in bombings of states and terrorist groups with little or no recognition. No need to go over board. He was a legend but there have been many legends of the past that were too old to receive proper recognition, Jackie Kyle for example.
It certainly feels like Jonah Lomu brought rugby fully into the pro age and brought rugby fully on to the world stage. I thought he was looking pretty ropey the last time I saw him interviewed. It's a crying shame.
It crazy to think he was only half the player he could have been due to this...
We need to remember the Enlightenment principles. There must not be a European Patriot Act or any encroachment on the freedom of expression of the majority. I do however think that Muslims need to move against the hard line Salafists and Jihadis. We cannot have innocent people being wiped from...

Are there any people left that say there shouldn't be root and branch reform of the RFU, England coaching team and England squad? Repeatedly set up for failure by pure incompetence.
Sorry to be an instigating...
Looks about right. Ireland have the potential to be higher but we are chokers. On top of that we have average skills and no depth so we get blown away when we get a few injuries to key players.
Oh yeah didn't see old Ready there. You see this proves my point about how anonymous he is haha
He's been a liability at this world cup man. NZ won in spite of him. Brodie Retallick or Whitelock should be given the captain's armband.
BOD played in a relatively poor team whereas Nonu played in one of the greatest teams that has ever played this game. It is impossible to compare the two really. They're both great players.
That's the team boss. Maybe find a better 1 than Moody and you have it.
Barrett needs a shot at the 10 shirt. I would like to see him stake his claim. i think he can be absolutely awesome there. What a player.
If he can stay healthy he will be better than Williams. Skudder seems fragile, but he has size and beautiful feet, though his feet are not as good as Williams, probably no one ever will be.
NZ's first choice wings are brilliant. An embarrassment of riches in most departments. Other nations need...
I'd drop Read totally and make him go back and focus on Super Rugby to regain form. The new All Blacks captain should be Brodie Retallick or Sam Whitelock.
Haha you are the worst poster on this site. BOD is a legend an amazing player. NOnu is awesome too but BOD played in a side didn't have great players in every position.
