Enz of an Era
-
Some of these players are retiring from all Rugby, others are quitting International Rugby but will still play for their clubs/provinces.

Halfpenny far more influential IMHO
Terrific player. Not flash, just 110% reliable. Year after year.
-
Isn't Michael Leitch hanging up his boots as well?
-
@Victor-Meldrew Yeah, there are defintely more players, also from the lower tiers.

Anybody know why Koroibete is quitting? He's certainly still good enough and 31 isn't that old.
I'm guessing two reasons. Eddie and Jones.

@MiketheSnow said in Enz of an Era:
Biggar and Halfpenny for Wales
Halfpenny far more influential IMHO
Gareth Anscombe too, I believe. Off to play in Japan. He was phenomenal at his best, but had some shocking luck with injuries.

good from you
I try and stay one step ahead
I guess they're all saying it's time for a change and so long for now.

A bunch of pretty handy footballers are bringing the curtain down on their careers. Who is done now?
Obviously for us its huge names in Aaron Smith and Sam Whitelock. Beauden Barrett as well (despite delusions of coming back), Richie Mo'unga as well. Dane Coles ends a great AB career.
Eddie Jones retired all the Wallabies before the Cup
Johny Sexton is now gone, and will leave a huge hole in the Irish side
Courtney Lawes hangs them up for England, arguably the best 6 in world rugby for a long time now.
I'm sure there is heaps more.
I hope he fucks off too. Rugby is better off without him and his bullshit
Eddie was ballsy but waltzing just before the RWC AND getting rid of the experienced hands does seem a lurch towards insanity in hindsight. I wonder what the young guns in the squad think of him now.

HB retired the Shield.

I’ll do the shitty Split Enz puns if it’s all the same to you. I have to be good for something.
Thanks mate

I got you. I'm having second thoughts about puns anyway.

Wow, poor boy, somebody's seeing red. It's another great divide opening up that never ceases to amaze me.

I'm reading this thread backwards from the Split Enz puns. And this is the stage where I reached the first post where I can't tell if it is a serious post, or just a string of puns.
Damning.
I mean:
waltzing, young guns, lurch, towards insanity. These could all be Split Enz B sides I've never heard of. Or this could just be a vague waffling post about rugby. -

I have Conflicting Emotions here. Maybe it's time that I Walk Away from this Topic or Take the Next Exit.
I do wish the Enz didn't have such a large discography
It's really no bother to me....i just hope the likes of Beauden Barrett andi Sam Whitelock give it a whirl on Saturday andi leave on a high.

I can't believe we are in the final, for so much of Fozz's tenure it's felt like 6 months in a leaky boat
