Edinburgh confirm prop pairing to miss rest of season

By PA

Edinburgh have lost injured props Boan Venter and Luan de Bruin for the rest of the season. The club confirmed that the two players had both undergone “successful surgeries”.

The South African pair were both injured in the Challenge Cup win against Pau at the DAM Health Stadium earlier this month.

Former Cheetahs loosehead Venter, who has scored six tries in 25 appearances for Edinburgh, suffered a knee injury.

Former Leicester and Cheetahs forward De Bruin suffered a hamstring injury on his eighth appearance for Edinburgh.

Over the weekend Edinburgh were pushed all the way by basement club Zebre Parma in a 29-26 victory that strengthens their grasp on a United Rugby Championship play-off place.

Their unbeaten record at home this season remains intact, and the bonus point keeps them in the hunt for a top-four finish, but the hosts made heavy weather of the fixture.

If Italy get ahead, we (being England) have to put our heads down and play like its a World Cup knock out, bring the bruisers on and just smash it up front

Agreed. Rennie canon fodder. Unless he does the unthinkable and wins a World Cup, a series against SA and a 99.99% win rate.

Only the best will do.

Dave Rennie: 'if I had the chance to get him back, I'd certainly jump at it'

That was the argument for Mo’unga when Razor came in. A few exceptions here or there.

Razor came in hot publicly calling for eligibility rule changes and he went quiet on it very quickly.

Why Les Kiss' Reds may have landed a blow in the All Blacks coaching race

Rennie seems to get big performances out of “journeymen” players.

Youre right about the other coaches. I’ve enjoyed learning about the importance of the entire coaching team and the balance within it from many of your recent articles. Thanks.

Razor dug his own grave. He was simply incompetent for the job.

That said, if the NZR allows certain overseas-based players — mainly those contracted in Japan — to play for the All Blacks, he might feel frustrated.

Dave Rennie: 'I'm keen to bring some people in'

Agreed. It should be an easy series for NZ. 4-0. No problem.

The ABs are going to send a very clear message to the world, that, who needs a stable coaching environment, more than 3 months to prepare, a settled game plan, settled combinations, a good flyhalf, settled assistant coaches, etc., to win a series against South Africa at home.

Six Nations half-term report: 'France lead the charge in struggle for the soul of rugby'

Raynal nailed nothing, other than reinforcing the stereotype of the arrogant Frenchman, and completely missed the mark on what these law tweaks/trials in this year’s SRP are about - what a French whistle blower misinterpreting something rugby related, say it ain’t so 😂

This (media) contrived narrative of South Africa & France banding together to defend the traditions & values of the sport from us dirty dirty antipodean nations is honestly hilarious - South Africa has challenged the norms of the game since their reinstatement into the global rugby community & France have always rebelled against the norms of the game with that French Flair.

To be fair I felt that Scotland spread them thin and went wide at pace. Exposed a narrow looking English defence.

I think that dented their confidence going into the Irish game - where they looked flat footed and gassed.

‘You never want to be that first England team that loses to Italy’

Can you imagine the rats leaving the sinking RFU HQ in Twickenham in panic after being humbled by a surging Azurri, lying at the bottom of table only a scraping above Wales…then staring down the barrel of a France defeat? The pressure is all on England. The only winners will be the English press media, rejoicing in the misery of the one-true national past time…SELF FLAGELLATION🤣

That’s where my head is at.

Having waited 2/3 years to get JvP back, you would have thought they wanted to get games in him, so Spencer starting (who is a good game controller) was a bit of a surprise to see.

The last comment is nonsense. There is still a way to beforRWC27. Borthwick can never do right in the eyes of the media who've been saying for change this past week. Now they've got it they're nervous.

‘Gloating at opponents should never be part of rugby’s fabric but devilry can have an allure’

I appreciate its just puff journalism and what it seeks to do is playfully re-imagine a future fan-zone characteristic for the game bound up in the digital hype of social media…no context…just click-bait for eyeballs…in the vain hope that a new generation of paying fans will save the fortunes of a professional game that really should be better paid and paying. But this is a fundamentally dishonest way to present the characteristic of the game. Its as if the advertising gurus have been turned to in desperation to deconstruct the gladiatorial nobility of our wonderful sport reducing it to ‘beef and gobbing-off for clicks’ as if it was the only option to hit pay dirt. And no surprises, they’ve settled on the lowest common denominator of the artificial playground scrap, invoking the mob mentality. Perhaps this is what the algorithm tells them to do - corrupting rugby into a WWE-esque ‘Kafabe’ (Kayfabe - Wikipedia) where players are characterise as ‘Faces’ (Heroes) or ‘Heels’ (Villains) to whip up the crowd and suspend disbelief? Perhaps we are trapped interminably into this dystopian reality? But is this the only way…to sell-out the game’s soul to shallow scripts? Lets hope and pray that new-age fans ‘Crave Depth’ and can be welcomed in with quality content combining technical, tactical insight and some anthropology of how and why the game’s all-important code of values are what makes it distinct ALL OVER THE WORLD. I have been privileged to play, coach and watch rugby across the world…and it’s no coincidence that the intergenerational values of respect, teamwork and sportsmanship are writ large in every club house from Inverness to Dunedin and everywhere in between. I sincerely agree with Ernie Elwood, an old friend, that this is just a fad and that these exciting players can become famous for their brilliance, not their pantomime Kafabe.

A bit hit and hope in the backs P.

You pick Fin at 10 and then you give him Ben Spencer at 9 and Seb Atkinson at 12 with Tommy back at 13?

Yes there is a place for a smart footballer like that. A bit undersized but very tough and skilful, maybe a 13/11 at top level?
