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

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

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.

Yeah I would prefer lock, loosie, loosie combo. But as a minimum a genuine 6-2

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.

He would have been ideal for the bench impact role. Is it true that Razor asked him to join the main squad and he declined to stay with the NZXV last year? That alone tells you how unhappy a camp that must have felt.

I doubt he saw Razor being moved on so quickly after that tour but by then it was too late.

Their game plan needs a top quality #9 to link their backs and forwards

He looks superb and crucially, seems to go equally well with Libbok or SFM

I think they will start with QT at 12 and Leicester at 13, then take Leicester off and switch QT to 13 with Big Jim at 12 . . . . That was a better way of explaining what I meant. 🤣🤣

If they keep Tupaea at 13 then Jim is the obvious 12. LF 13 and QT 12 rather more ambitious!

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

Pollock can do the hard yards Lou - he also packs a bigger punch in the carry than the size of his frame suggests . . . And he also gets an absurd amount of strips when he’s defending by targeting the ball.

He’s so annoying to play against . . . . But it’s all because of the impacts he creates in games.

Watch these Pollock highlight moments and then decide if the talent backs up the hype.

Australia were all over the place last weekend. Some had expected them to lift their game against England, but their forwards struggled throughout and there wasn’t much control behind; they played as individuals. England were excellent, though.

Anyone’s game in Cardiff on November 21? Wales might see it that way, particularly if they manage to avoid a hammering this weekend. No easy ask, of course.
