[Geordie]

[TRF_Olyy]

Ahahaha
Tuilagi over Radwan...
I mean, one thing I've always felt for Ford on is the number of times he played with Farrell & Slade outside him, he didnt really have the ability to suck in defenders in midfield, whereas Farrell playing 10 usually did
Still, think this way... It could've been worse

 

[Geordie]

Eddie is the definition of monkeys claw.

Marcus Smith starts so moves Manu to wing

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly I blame Sale and Manus weight loss

 

[TommiG88]

This team has made me grin… I have no words haha

 

[Geordie]

Genuinely....what does Farrell have over all these coaches...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly I would've predicted no Radwan for Aus and SA but thought it would be for Malins

 

[Jakedood]

Oh just saw the bench... I guess if 6-2 Radwan can't be there either, but flip me
You think he's finally settling, and then that

 

[ncurd]

Manu on the wing.....seriously ******* seriously

**** Eddie

 

[Geordie]

Apparently Radwan is injured

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

**** me.

Might be nice to see dombrandt and Simmonds on the pitch together, idk if it'll work but we'll see.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

**** me.

Might be nice to see dombrandt and Simmonds on the pitch together, idk if it'll work but we'll see.

*Monkey's paw curls*

Simmonds comes on at scrumhalf or some ****

I missed this christ on a bike

So lets get this straight

A 12 at 14
A 10 at 12
A 5 at 6 (although tbf it sounds like he's fully transitioned now)
A 7 at 8
And two 8's on the bench....

 

[Jakedood]

Apparently Radwan is injured

Where did you hear this?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Didn't we try Tuilagi on the wing before and it was an abject failure as he wasn't fast enough, his positioning was consistently off and his aerial/kicking game is non-existent...?

The wobblies can just kick to him constantly and all he could do is look to pass or run into contact. Jones determination to play players out of position is getting really ******* annoying. He's not the rugby genius he thinks he is.

 

[Crash Hamster]

"I shall include no no. 8s in the XV, so shall have 2 on the bench."

Still it's nice to see well-known winger Manu Tuilagi getting the international recognition that his excellent wing play at club level over the years has demanded...

I suppose it's nice to experiment against the lesser sides.
