Full extent of Youngs' injury revealed

England scrum-half Ben Youngs

The England & Leicester Tigers scrum-half was taken off early on in Rome on Sunday, his evident pain souring what proved to be a commanding 46-15 win for England.

Youngs has now been ruled out for the remainder of England’s Six Nations campaign after suffering a knee injury in the champions’ opening victory against Italy.

And on Monday the Rugby Football Union (RFU) confirmed the 28-year-old had ruptured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, bringing an end to his tournament.

Youngs will undergo a further assessment with a surgeon later this week, but the RFU said he could be sidelined for up to four months.

Earlier on Monday, coach Eddie Jones called up Saracens’  Richard Wigglesworth as a replacement, with England facing Wales at Twickenham on Saturday.

The news is also a huge blow to the Tigers, who are struggling in the bottom half of the Premiership.

I guess the underlying theme is that no team in NZ has ever used a South African type rush D before, and the only time they ever get to see it is when the ABs play

SA! Jordie is the common factor in both worlds.

The '14 seconds' of All Blacks attack inspiring Mike Blair's game plan

I enjoyed the way he spoke to ARP, he will get on well with everyone by the sounds of his attitude, but boy oh boy does he sound way out of his depth.

Blair brings a more intimate knowledge of the European game to the All Blacks set-up.

The All Blacks need Rennie, but they also need the public

It’s because many of those kiwi league fans have ties to those teams going back decades from former residence or work or family links before the Auckland Warriors existed.

Pools confirmed for World Championship opener in Hong Kong

Looking forward to this. I think that while the challenges to the BlitzBoks and Silver Ferns are real, it’d be a huge upset if they didn’t win. Both teams have multiple threats across the field and while individually there are as big or bigger threats in the other teams, none of them have quite so many that can be relied on.

Laurie FIsher’s point about the importance of the Force players’ comms around him on the field was bang on, I’ve probably not done it justice in the quote in this column..

Respectfully, the national union team have also fairly choked/shyte the nest, in recent times

A 2019 RWC exit which was so limp it didn't live up to the billing of even a ‘semi’ (or half-mast)

You can like marmite and peanut better, but can you have them at the same time??

On another note what truly baffles me is when kiwi league fans don’t just support the warriors, but they actually have their favourite AUSSIE teams 🤮

Yeah, cause it’s so hard to sell out a stadium when you’re the only team in the country. Yawn. And yeah, the Warriors do suck. Any team that's been around 30 years and can’t win a comp once does indeed suck.

I don’t know who you hang around with or talk to. Must be rugby nerds. The Warriors are very popular all around the country. Walk around any small town and you’re most likely to see someone wearing a Warriors jersey. Especially kids. They’re doing signings, training sessions and interviews within the community and at schools.

They have sold out three games in a row in Christchurch.

Five 'Moneyball' players who could be All Blacks bolters under Rennie

You're absolutely spot on, SR has become a tryfest last few seasons entertaining crowd pleasing rugby but poor defensive efforts or strategy and that translated to the ABs, when they couldn't play their running game they looked clueless with no gameplan!

Also need to think of covering for him a lot more than for a player who has years of experience in Union. He may well make a lot of positional errors in these early games.

Lomax has one talent that does not change across the codes….his goal kicking. He is a very good striker of the ball, and from watching him in State of Origin, he has reasonable range, being able to convert from the sideline. Rare to see really long kicks of 45 m plus in League, so would not be sure what Lomax is like from those distances.

The 76% success rate for 742 points is impressive, and if he becomes an established starting player for the Force he would be a great backup for Ben Donaldson…also listed at 76% success.

Barrett's Irish adventure is propelling the Hurricanes to new heights

“Terrible shortage of top forwards between Retallick and the 2020s”. This was partly caused by the signaling from the All Blacks coaches. The players that were getting picked we generally of the more ‘athletic’/’skilled’ type. Grafters just weren’t getting a look in. So many left, or just never got the opportunity to develop.

For instance, Michael Fatialofa could’ve been a very dependable, very hard working lock. But the All Blacks coaches wanted Tuipulotu as he has a higher ‘athletic’/’skilled’ ceiling. The issue was it wasn’t until about 2022 that Tuipulotu started really playing like an ‘80 minute’ footballer.

It’s that I am mostly interested in Geoff’s wrap. Many articles appear to be very Aussie specific. Harry writes somewhere else. I did like JD’s article on his Underdog.
