All Blacks duo ink new two-year deals with Chiefs

Not sure if LF is destined for 13 - if he does want to play there, defence needs to be sharper, if I recall, he missed something like 7 tackles vs Scotland.

Instructive that Crusaders are playing Ennor at 13 for today’s game - real pity that he is also leaving for France at the end of the Season. He could have stayed on the field, could have made a real run for that 13 spot in the ABs - but alas, injuries got him every time he started to put together a good body of work.

'You guys set the narrative but that’s not really relevant for our team'

Scotland did not go 6-2 - am I reading that right? Hmmm going to be a tough day if so - perhaps 20-30 point loss. Sounds horrid, but England humming while Scotland trying to find mojo with manifestly less raw power.

SRP 2026: Who will be the new POTY, most improved and the best new signing?

‘The 196cm lock is a threat at lineout time, and has solid footwork at the line to get his arms free for an offload with the ball in hand. Hannah had four tries in the Bunnings NPC competition in 2025 and made 106 carries in just 676 minutes of rugby.’

Hope you’re right about Jamie’s footwork and skillset, because 1.96 ain’t going to cut it as a test lock.

All Blacks duo ink new two-year deals with Chiefs

Yup, Reece won’t be included in any squads, sadly, just like Tele’a wasn’t.

Yeah I can see Ioane still there providing a defensive midfield option, but he certainly won’t be in the role Razor tried him out for, that will be Leicesters. Some of course might hope they are a straight swap in general, but if your wanting LF to be in midfield I’d say he has to push out ALB. Not the most encouraging to hear how Saders want to try and use him in the forwards.

Reece is off to France post Super, so he is gone and not sure about Ioane - might be back to 13, even though not the greatest Centre, very good defensively.

Tangitau, I think, is the one to watch. Looking at the pre-season games for Highlanders, he looks to have bulked up, hopefully without any loss of speed.

It would be a shame if Mark Mapletoft left the RFU given he’s just taken on a new role as head of development.

Nick Easter could be a good appointment though. Robertson would be a great appointment. If I owned a prem club I’d also be desperate to sign Matt Everard.

Townsend makes shock decision as Scotland make 4 changes for England

Ah ok, so you don’t want to discuss GT but he will come under severe pressure if this goes badly again. Fwiw my sense on England is that they are very much fixed in the present, looking no further than the game that’s in front of them and pretty comfortable in their own skin with the run they’re on. Hasn’t always been this way with England ofc…

The big challenge for England is living up to the expectation and dealing with the pressure that comes with that. If things start going wrong we’ll see what they are made of.

If you watch closely it was a pretty poor defensive read and he was left for dead under his own steam, regardless of cover. I’m not sure scotland will find it easy to wear England out this time, or at least it will be a lot tougher than it’s been before. England have developed a highly mobile forward pack game plan with their br selections and that includes bringing on two equally mobile and rapid replacements to maintain tempo.

How do you reckon this plays out for Townsend IF England win, and win well?

12-year wait ended as major World Ranking change lands

Yeah for sure, those things are huge boosts, 1995 and 2011, maybe Englands? on a similar level of importance (2023 was really a lost opportunity in that respect, a final nobody wanted).

All tournaments are a lottery, I think you’ll need to look at yourself for placing more importance on it than is warranted. As I’ve often said, you take it way too far. if it’s meaningless behaving like that, you’ll send a better message than carrying on like you do. You’re hurting yourself.

Andy Farrell makes 6 changes to Ireland team for Italian job in Dublin

Really don't like Doris at 7. It always seems a little forced trying to get him and Conan on to the same team when both are best at 8. At 6 its ok as they can carry it off. But Dorris just doesn't do the dirty stuff you want from a 7 as well. Great 8 but only ever plays 7 once a year at most. Timoney was really good last week as well.

Great to see some of the other new faces. Although I think Lowe in for Stockdale is a step back.

The times are changing, and some Six Nations teams may be left behind

Again, you are unable to see the error of your ways. What Wayne is trying to impart are options, what you are trying to impart reduces options.

It simply makes the throwback a poor option. There is potential for you being stubborn and not actually believing what your saying though. It’s like you think your linking me a video done by Carlos Spencer instead of Wayne Smith.

If Jordan is out the back on that play then their is a massive overlap for Italy to exploit. What do you do in that situation? Exactly what he did, and hope that a teammate sees the space and covers your absence. Jordan is there as another fulcrum in the attack whilst also offering a strong kicking game. I agree with the selection, he’s outperformed Kinghorn at club level. We didnt see the best of him last week due to the conditions.

Hastings is there as backup for Finn, a straight swap if he goes down.

Yes that’s it in simplicity. Lets hope the next coach(s) are going to be able to impart a bit of extra performance out of the defence. The offense I think can handle it with simple changes like that of personal. To be fair to Carter he provided the most spark in offence (that England game (perhaps his best) in a stagnant back three with Reece, Ioane and Jordan there. Much needed in replacement of Tele’a and Narawa. I only see straight swaps happening this year, Caleb in for Reece and Leicester for Ioane, with Carter and Narawa to battle it out again.
