Australia v England - 2nd Test
-
Agree on the back row. Eddie's given himself a real issue on that front by having Lawes as captain. Lots of calls for him to play lock, but he just doesn't do that any more, so you're trapped with a Billy V / Lawes combo.
I've got a lot of time for Cokanasiga, but unless he's in proper rampaging form, you do lose a bit when he's involved as he's not got the most rounded game. Freeman's a big guy although probably not someone you'd be bringing into midfield too much on the crash ball. Interested to see what Porter offers on this stage, as I've not seen a whole lot of him. Probably picked as a more direct option than Marchant.

Oi, he's Cornish! Bloody Devonian
He’s certainly Cornish when he’s injured!

@Duluth pleased to see Frost get a chance at last.
He’s still very young so his time was eventually going to come. A genuine 6’9” unit that has good athleticism and played well this season. Oz should be using him on opposition throws.

Taniela Tupou lights fuse on 2nd Test with remarks about Ellis Genge
Taniela Tupou has lit the fuse for a thunderous collision with Ellis Genge when Australia face England in Saturday’s second Test...

Rugby Pass is up there (down there) with The Ruck and Rugby Dump for click bait non stories. Prop one says good things about prop two and says he will compete hard.
These shithouse sites that get bloody everywhere are seriously giving me the threepenny bits.
-
Rugbypass do at least have some original content and break some stories here and there. Albeit that's a very click baity piece.
The other two mentioned are total junk though. No redeeming qualities at all.
-
@Margin_Walker it is a rarity from what I have seen.
-
@Catogrande how about that lit fuse though!
-
Sure, and defending Rugbypass definitely isn't a hill I'm willing to die on. They do at least seem to have staff writers and columnists. As well as a paywalled section with original longer form content etc.
It's a (small) step above the Ruck approach which is any number of articles like:
'Top ten worst signings ever' - Low effort, have to click through ten pages to view the full list
'Guess what Nigel Owens said about this decision!'
'Player X will be moving to Club A' - Completely made up
'Player X will be moving to Club A' - Stolen exclusive from somewhere else -
Morgan Turinui was a back playing in France only a few short years ago? Still just 40, must live near a fab pie shop.,.
