@stargazer Not much change there. An All Black, rightly or wrongly, still ranked behind someone unable to crack the ABs but who managed to scrape together a limited number of games for the Poms.

Vaea Fifita to make his Wasps debut this weekend in a preseason game. At lock.
The hooker is really short
I know he's living at Biggin Hill but I didn't realise it was because he's been signed by Wasps.

So what did he actually go for?
No arms?
Late?
Head contact?slightly late, no head contact, but guy in air
mitigating factors: it was on a halfback
no case to answer

in all seriousness, when i watched it i burst out laughing it was that ridiculous. I mean, it's a complete brain snap, he was always arriving late, so he just went all in and jumped in to him at full pace while the guy was still in the air. It's hilarious.
The reaction to his red card was funny too. Slight surprise, then just walks off
French Rugby has changed though, even 10 years ago that results in a massive brawl

@mariner4life it amusing seeing all the players form the white team go past thier mate on the ground to get the guy who hit him

Speaks well, and has been great in the UK
Jimmy Gopperth: ‘I’m a country lad from a farm – rugby is not everything’
The 38-year-old Wasps fly-half played with Tana Umaga, and now lines up with Umaga’s nephew Jacob, but he is in no rush to retire
