If AD & ML gel it could be very interesting. Both excellent players with good vision. Can France win ? I believe they're still the best NH side by a a small margin so yes they they're well placed to do so !!

Wallabies' defensive woes demand overhaul to avoid Murrayfield bloodbath

Weird article - it only focusses on the Wallabies, but not their opponents. What are their opponents likely to do? How would that play against the Wallaby’s defence? How could the Wallabies exploit this to their advantage, etc….

Why ‘generational talent’ Peter Lakai is the new ‘man in black’ for all seasons

Yeah I’d really prefer a lock, and looseforward pair, with LF as a 23 and genuine 7-1 option. Theres no telling if he’s going to be upto anything at test level though, thankfully I dont think he’s important to 6-2 being used.

If these two go on to cement themselves, I’d love for Lakai to be playing 12, and Jordie switching to 10 or 15, for a couple of games next year in Super Rugby (he could be fairly rusty having not done it since Leinster and he is the key versatility to enabling 6-2 or 7-1), while Sititi could partner ALB playing 13 (their loosies are packed, well maybe less so no Finau isn’t taking a starting spot).

Victor Matfield: 'There's a big hype around him... I just can't understand it'

He’s always in the right place at the right time, which is a combination of how he reads the game and his pace to get him there but what’s more exciting is where he will be in a decade and he should only get better from here on in.

Wallabies' defensive woes demand overhaul to avoid Murrayfield bloodbath

They need to get the basics right and this is fundamentally their biggest issue, just like the opposite is true for their attack. The Wallabies don’t defend the gain line, teams constantly get gain line and the second is slowing down the ruck. So they are continually on the back foot and playing flat out in defence trying to get into the right positions and teams manipulate this. If the Wallabies suddenly got physical dominance with their defence and slowed each ruck down by another second or two things would be materially different. Like every 10 likes to play behind a forward pack winning gain line, every good defence benefits with time as well. If the Wallabies go out this weekend and stop Scotland gainline and slow their rucks down to 2 or 3 seconds on average our defence will be significantly better. And that is the easy fix for this weekend.

In attack our forwards need to stop being static and Lonergan needs to play with some deception and he needs to get out from behind the ruck as no one on this planet will expect him to run with the ball. Set the forward pod to go one way and then just get out and link with a runner on the opposite side. He is so one dimensional, he needs to be able to change it up and he needs to play with more tempo. So like the defence if our forwards win the gain line and rucks and we get quick ball we will stress the Scotland defence and their will be plenty of opportunities.

I think you mean form wise, yes. My comment missed it’s most important component. He let a soft try go in when Sititi was asked to make a 1on1 tackle on his inside many, he’s obviously half puffing because he’s only a couple of months back into rugby, but he is older now is should mainly be an impact player.

Again, he needs his other locks to step up to make that come to fruition though.

Hes played about 5 games worth of international minutes and scored 8 tries. LBB and Will Jordan would be happy with that strike rate

Sorry what does a pure second row mean? Someone able to jump into the middle like Vaa’i? Just not sure what you’re trying to say with that sentence structure, like you mean the ABs should have two “new” locks in the second half? I certainly hope so.

Personally I would prefer Holland to truck 80 (he is just a metronome machine) and for Vaa’i to be replaced by a second row ‘hybrid’, like a Scooter/Segner/Sititi, and the other lock to be replaced by a lock. I’m sure you must mean LF is in his own group as the “sixth” spot and you’re not including him in that main group of loosies. It will be interesting if LF brings his weight back upto what it was in France again, it wasn’t helping him in the backline but if he’s mainly wanting to play in the pack he might put it on again and negate his bench versatility.

Suppose the big thing France will be where they put him on D as you would expect Boks to chuck up a fair amount of contestables anyhow and most 10s drop back but there are ways to work around it I guess .

Former All Black pinpoints crucial factor for 2027 Rugby World Cup success

Its not rocket science, England in 2003 maybe the greatest example of what a settled and experienced 15 can achieve. But. Injuries are now so inherent in the game that not having a wider pool of experienced players may be the biggest risk. We are rapidly running out of time to get a bit of test match experience into a few positions. Particularly in the backs.

France forced into bold Antoine Dupont call for Springboks

Sticking to the topic - i.e. picking the best rugby player the world has ever seen at 10, is not a big deal as Antoine Dupont is a supremely gifted player without comparison. Such is his flair he can naturally adapt his playmaker skills to anywhere on the pitch; Maxime Lucu is also a phenomenal player so the combination could prove awesome.

It was barely a couple of months ago the Wallabies got the better of the Springboks on their home ground of Perth; this selection for Paris may seem bizarre but could prove an unexpected masterstroke. [Fr. a coup de maître!]

Baille can be fit for a few matches, but not for an entire RWC campaign.

Looseheads are not really as much a problem than tighthead though.
