Randall could also only do two chin ups at Highlanders training. This is less than @Rocky-Rock-Rockbottom rock and @NTA
All I can see in that video is a young Phil Kearns.

Edit: That might be it, because the missed tackle stats are pretty bad for all front rowers.

@jegga a better article than the last couple he has peddled out as click bait

I always think he’s a doing a better job when I agree with him

@jegga well that is based on more truth, whereas his last one was a hatchet piece with no substance despite the headline claiming otherwise.

It wasn’t a dig at you , he does write a lot of clickbait waffle to pay the bills though

Neil Francis: 'The All Blacks are the most cynical rugby team in the world'
Apparently we have a rivalry with New Zealand on the rugby field. The Hype-meisters and marketing people have done it again. I have to confess to an undyin...

@billy-tell I Guess he mis-spelled clinical?
In the article from Paul, this pretty much sums it up:
No one in the Northern Hemisphere is willing to buy into the idea that the All Blacks success is built on hard work and ingenuity. Not exclusively certainly.
OK 'no one' might be a stretch' but point is valid

It's behind a paywall, so I'll paraphrase for everyone "My pussy hurts, and I'm jealous of the ABs, so I'll slag them off"
This is a good article though https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=12161188&ref=rss
borrowed from The Torygraph. The title has nothing to do with the article in true click bait NZ Herald style... -
@act-crusader said in Ireland Vs All Blacks:
@gt12 one of the things that our props have been doing for a few years now is that one will shoot out of the line and try and sting the ball the ball carrier. Woody, Franks, Charlie, Wyatt, etc have all been given that task. Whilst landing the tackle is part of it, it’s more about disrupting their flow and attack. So if you were to go back through the stat books you will see missed tackles for all.
Hence why F. De Wit Farrell misses so many!

Seriously? You couldn’t come up with anything else besides telling us that your vagina is sore?

Hello all! Just logging in to say best of luck for tomorrow and may the better side win.
I've just seen that Dan Leavy has been ruled out with Van der Flier coming into the starting side and Jordi Murphy on to the bench.
Leavy has been superb and I'd have had him in ahead of O'Brien regardless of last weeks injury. It's a huge loss and while I was quietly confident even without O'Brien, Murray and Henshaw - I reckon Leavy is one loss too far. NZ by 8.
-
@munstergreen he is a big loss. Good luck, though in the nicest possible way I sincerely hope we make a statement and rip you guys a new one.
Icing on the cake would be for BB to own Sexton and for Rieko and Big Karl to also have stormers and influence the panel for the imminent WR awards.
I don't want much I know.
-
@scribe Oh likewise I want James Ryan to show big bad Brodie what the new breed of lock looks like while Furlong manhandles your loose forwards around like ragdolls again and Ringrose twists your midfield into knots.
I was feeling good yesterday but now, missing four fellas who would start for the Lions if they were playing tomorrow I'm less bullish on our chances.
We'll be competitive though. If you beat us by more than 10 points I'd be very pissed off.
