What Goes On Tour at Eden Park - All Blacks v Lions Match Predictions

Andy Goode reckons the British & Irish Lions will triumph 22-16, while Jamie Wall predicts the mighty All Blacks will prevail 25-12. I don’t believe it will be that close. I’d love to see an upset in this one but lets face it, that would be incredibly unlikely.

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

Oh I feel you there, my team has had that sort of drab attack one out approach for near a decade. As I say, i was a bit of a fan of the contestable kicks in 2024 when it was introduced, but as sides have adapted to greater efficiency (relying less on their own skill in the air and more brute force) it’s got too negative for me and is ultimately flawed in the way it’s ruled a ‘contest’ (too onesided). It was so much fun though that we have been suggesting some ways to bring it back to that one on one contest, in Nicks article.

The article also describes how sides like Ireland have found more fun ways of breaking that one out style, and now France and South Africa are jumping on board with their own. Force the coachs to find another get rich quick stream and end theses lottories.

'That will come to bite England... but they hide him well'

O’Gara was a terrible defender, so by that reckoning he is an O'Gara and Sexton didn't play international until he was 24, Prendergast is 22. He certainly didn’t “cost the victory” against France.

Just listened to The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.

They said the Irish were always up for a contrst and all that emotion, energy & desire appears to have gone from the team.

It would be more of a tactical battle based on the ebb & flow of the game if you could only make 5 changes, rather than the pre determined changes decided in the middle of the week and the coach had to decide which changes to implement during the game. That would make it more tactical in nature.

My comments weren’t to disadvantage a team but keep the spirit of the game as it should be HH.

The role of benches & kicking are changing the game as we know it and I am not convinced that is for the greater good at the moment.

Not really, it's been pretty well publicised. I expect that we have shorter gaps between play though.

Take your aggro elsewhere. Nobody is saying that “the T14 sucks.” And it's not “totally false” to say that it has the lowest ball in play time - your own figures prove it.

I was continuing the point I made to Nick elsewhere on this thread about more substitutions reducing the importance of endurance and leading to bigger athletes. In the post to you took exception to, I was replying to Nick's statement that the T14 has more substitutions than anyone else. Combine that with the fact that it has the lowest ball in play time and endurance becomes even less important.

'I’m severely worried': Ex-players sound alarm over looming Irish crisis

Hansen was down to his mother being Irish. Not residency. He's also only 27. I can see your point with the others but he doesn't fit.

Looking at the youth system if the lads in the article are right in 8 years they’ll be worse than now.

I think what they are trying to say is smaller benches will help teams with less depth but good qulaity over 15-19 players HH….

Maro Itoje one of two changes for England for Calcutta Cup

Just gonna ignore all the negativity below, and offer something (hopefully) constructive.

I think it's great that Borthwick wants consistency, and it makes sense to have a Northampton feel to the centres. However, if one of the centres gets injured, things could get proper messy for England. Fin Smith hasn't played much at centre. Would they shift Pollock there or something? Now that would be complacent! I really hope we don't see any injuries to our centres.

'I’m severely worried': Ex-players sound alarm over looming Irish crisis

The five year residency rule is hurting Ireland. It makes poaching players from the SH more difficult, and with Aki, Lowe, JGP and Hansen all old things are looking bleak talent wise. It will probably take between 4 to 8 years of rebuilding before Ireland make it back into the top 5 ranking position.
