SVNS Cape Town : la France écrasée en demi-finale par les Black Ferns Sevens

You have made me laugh though with your pathetic attempt to be superior and say I should stay off the internet in one sentence if I cant handle people asking my opinion but then dismissing my opinions in another. I do however appreciate your honesty in saying you are interested in what I have to say, I cant say the same about you though. You come across very negative and bland.

Besides, Bracken isn’t especially small. He’s listed as 1.83!

That said, I doubt he’ll get capped. England have incredible depth in the back three, and Bracken isn’t a standout player like Pollock, Opoku-Fordjour, and Tuipulotu.

Agree, the trio needs to work. Skills sets where one of the trio is weaker can be made up from the other two, or even the other forwards (but that’s getting on a slippery slope - tight forwards need to be dominant in their core roles first).

The All Blacks will probably settle on two all rounders, at 7 and 8; and a bruiser who can jump at 6. We’ll see. You never know what Robertson has planned. I think last year he was a bit conservative and this year (which might be his last, if results are the same as last year) could be his last chance to stamp his mark on the team.

Agree re the BF7s. Superb, both on & off the field.

Kiwi teams haven’t played the Aussies much. Six games over the first six rounds. The Landers lost two, the Blues lost one. The Chiefs dealt to the Brumbies by 15pts & we thrashed both the Reds & the Force.

Hardly an indication of ABs being “outplayed by their counterparts”. Then again, it IS the Breakdown, where tongues are regularly in gear before brains are engaged.

He’d for sure take the 6 jersey. Like we’ve already deduced, it doesn’t matter what number is on their jerseys these days, my whole point is it’s not a good trio.

WJ has been unbelievably good this season, easily the ABs first choice 15, and Sevu has just been playing out of his skin these last few seasons.

I’ll remind you that James O’Connor has also been outstanding off the bench, just watch his decision making under pressure and clutch kicking.

Bye anomaly? Didn’t the Landers gain a spot during their bye, is it only half points not a full four they get?
