2019 Rugby World Cup

@Chris Nah you've got it wrong, he's talking about those 3 cos there is a small chance Ozzie beat them. No point talking about ABs cos they are always going to lose that game. So concentrate on winnable games, and hope someone else knocks out the ABs!

@Machpants he’s still a knob

@Chris-B said in 2019 Rugby World Cup:
To put some discussion in one place - four guys on the comeback trail who need to get on the park and put in some convincing performances:
Sam Cane
Sonny-Bill Williams
Liam Squire
Waisake NaholoSam Cane doesn't, he's got so much in the bank if he's fit he goes. Same as Colesy. Might not be starting at the pointy end, but he's going. SBW, sadly, is similar - unless the coaches opinion has changed massively from last year - he was in and preferred last year on absolutely nothing during the domestic season. Squire and Naholo most certainly require some form, because Squire has been off/out for so long, and Naholo has always been almost fringe.
-
Agreed. Sam Cane is definite if fit and in reasonable form. The amount of work he quietly gets thru, particularly on D is astonishing
His neck injury has been a bit of a blessing now Ardie has come into his own. Who to start at 7 is a nice dilemma for Shag.
-
Agree he will most likely go to the cup, but I have my concerns over Cane. Surely coming back from an injury like that he will be gun shy for a while, if not forever?
-
If Cane's neck is strong enough for the rigours of the RWC, he goes.
Not sure about the other three though. Lots of guys playing better and looking hungry in all three positions. I suspect SBW might still make it because of his experience, the respect he has in the squad and his special range of skills.
-
@Crazy-Horse yeah that is a tough one. HIs brutal defence is a trademark of his game, which is why he was so often thought of as being more suited to 6...but with an injury like that, getting yourself back to that level of physicality will be tough.
-
@taniwharugby and if he does get back to his best in time for the cup I will have nothing but admiration for him. I can't imagine what it's like mentally playing rugby again after breaking your neck.
-
Not sure where I should post this but have literally just woken up from a dream where the ABs didn't make it out of pool play.
I need help:
- For the shock and emotion of waking from a nightmare
- For actually dreaming about the All Blacks
Not sure who the biggest loser is, me or my hypothetical ABs ...
