I understand what your saying and I think your right which is shame as this tour and the progress he made this year would be ideal to see if he could make it but alas I agree an international coach will pass on him due to the way the game is. I agree he looks a hell of a player both at 2 and in...

I agree mostly. I like the squad and the idea behind giving some guys a run in a tour environment that will help some shine and expose others who just won't be good enough. I think EJ knows the core of the squad he wants for 2019RWC baring a few spots and is using the tour to see if there is...

Think that this tour is a perfect time to take some risks and bring in some new blood whether it be uncapped players or those with a handful of caps. Let some of those experienced heads who won't be in NZ have a summer off. A series defeat and difficult games would not be the end of the world...

Yeah I agree he looks the real deal for me. If like to see among others Haley Wade go too.

Denny Solomona anyone ? ;) Definitely goes I reckon. It's a bit controversial but I don't think Eddie cares.

Sunwolves to Aus would be a great move IMO by SANZAAR. Also stop going to ****ing Singapore they don't care about the Wolves at least in tokyo they get a crowd and a atmosphere. Absolutely. It's embarrassing when they play in Singapore. The stadium is what 75/80/85k and only 10/15k turn up...

Really like Thacker I think he is excellent both in the backrow and at hooker. In the front row he plays very similar to Taylor IMO and at times his mobility means it's as though there is another backrow on the field.

And you all bit to him.........

Depends on what the powers that be want from the World Cups. A. Do they want continuity in the heartlands of the big Tier one nations which guarantee big crowds and lots of money in established rugby cities and regions. B. Do they want to expand the game to a wider audience in Tier 2 nations...

Ireland for me

Exactly

I've not paid much attention to him either. However in Interviews I have seen both short and long I can't say I like him. He appears very arrogant and rude almost as though he believes himself superior. This manner is not just to " journalists" but ex players and coaches too. All a bit odd...

In all fairness though I enjoyed the game, leinster dominated us and I hope this has shown us the work needed to do to be really competitive against great clubs and teams.

Leinster showed us up today in the pack, in the backs, game management, decisions and pretty much everything else. Upfront we looked toothless and lightweight, Hughes has regressed and apart from Launchbury & Taylor the pack need to have a look at themselves. I have said it before and I will...

Like the look of that and I agree with you pretty much bang on. Is guy injured???

Could not of put it better myself

Points taken......... I disagree but hey that's what this is forums for. Let's pick our teddy's up and enjoy what should be a great game and weekend of Rugby.

Suppose it could be worse....... We could be living in the early 2000s thinking we are still the best team in the land instead of a bit of a mess hahaha

Uhhhhhmmmm

Franchise franchise franchise............ God it's boring now. Agree though I can't see a Wasps win as much as that pains me. The leinster pack overall is better & I feel Cipriani will go missing or do something daft. I also feel that despite the talented back line our lack of a big game...
