If he even does that - half the time he'll just kindly kick it over to your wings, even when his only chasers are a couple of carthorses.
It looked like an ill-thought out gameplan, poorly executed to boot.
We need to find a way to exaggerate Beaudens strengths while covering any weaknesses, as he's not a tradional 10 by any stretch. I don't think the starting backline for this test really does that.
I'm not so sure it is (it could be of course, in which case, let's rochampbeau Fozzie, I'll help), however I thnk he's playing what he sees, without thinking about game position or ball retention or developing phase play - just sees opportunity, tries to take opportunity. I'd love to see th numbers, because if it is as risky as it looks, I'd consider asking my wings to take a few steps back and always leave at as a potential option for the opposing 10...
The bold above. Please explain? 2nd time you've used the term. Google not helpful.

@booboo Probably..... Upon his return to France, Rochambeau was honored by King Louis XVI and was made governor of the province of Picardy. He supported the French Revolution of 1789, and on 28 December 1791 he and Nicolas Luckner became the last two generals created Marshal of France by Louis XVI. When the French Revolutionary Wars broke out, he commanded the Armée du Nord for a time in 1792 but resigned after several reversals to the Austrians. He was arrested during the Reign of Terror in 1793–94 and narrowly escaped the guillotine. He was subsequently pensioned by Napoleon and died at Thoré-la-Rochette during the First Empire.

I thought it was from South Park, where gt12 will kick Fozzie in the nuts

Apologies for the spelling: Apparently it's Rochambo

How the Springboks blew a 17-point lead
The All Blacks had no right to win the match based on the first sixty minutes, but did, while the Springboks will have to learn the cruelest of lessons after a poor showing in the last quarter.

You want to go first in this game

It's the fern, so I'm guessing you're right!

He is, but you probably didn't record that episode. It's replayed at 7am.

The comments at the bottom of the article by a Mr Roussouw are amusing, for nothing else but the way they are written

I think a telling indicator from the MoTM thread is Sam Whitelock has zero votes. In the absence of BBBR we have really needed him to stand up, but he has not risen to the occasion. Sam is a very very good lock, but jesus he's had a workload this year, the bloke looks like he needs a couple of months off.
Razor needs to start managing Sam's workload a bit better during Super Rugby. He plays him in virtually every game and usually for the entire 80 minutes, even when it's against weaker teams like the Sunwolves.

A quick google search tells me that Sam Whitelock was rested against the Sunwolves this year (not even on the bench).
