I agree it is a shit question, but he must have expected it. He cant disavow the sledge, so he should have owned up to it.
If he’d said ‘yeah, that one came back to bite me a bit, he was excellent today when it really counted for his team’ then I’d have a pretty different opinion of him. I imagine a Dane Coles or Gregan or Fitzpatrick would say something similar.
It’s fair that he might not have been in the right head space but perhaps that’s the point, he was happy to be a bully when we lost with quite a few things going against us.

Who's the pillock who always says SavAYa?
and TamEYEti WilliamsBe thankful you don't have itv. Actually I drunkenly tweeted them to ask if it would be too hard to talk to the teams before a game about pronunciation. No response.
Fyangaranooka had a great game for a guy I've never heard of.
Actually looking at it again TamEYEti doesn't sound too bad. Although Tah-mEYE-tee might work better.

looked to have started around the shoulders and then go higher
Yeah, and Rieko pulled one out in the opening phases of the game I think it was so I wouldn't be pointing fingers.

not up to reporters to ask about a sledge delivered at an appropriate time years ago
That makes about zero sense.

Maybe this is the opposite of the 2007 RWC campaign. Rather than over thinking it about whether individual players can get through three knockout games in a row, just get stuck in and fire up for each game at a time.
Injuries, attrition, and tiredness being factors that each team that makes the Final just has to deal with.
I mean, this was basically what we did in 2011 - largely imposed because of an injury crisis in the 10 jersey.

@ACT-Crusader the Ardie one was close and he didn't let go, was cleaned out and pleading with the AR, I think BR one was pretty clean, but Barnes saw different and BR let it go...
Obviously Cane was asked about the comment from POM too, he fended it off, he'd already go the best response to it.

Really good point. Seen that in successful business teams where planning got screwed and they had to just stay focussed on the basics. Imagine the military do this every day.

Aside from the pronunciation of Savea I really like the World feed main commentator (Rupert Cox?). He does a great job.
With all the moolah going around, why hasn't someone hired Andrew Cotter ?

I can imagine the outcry if BB or RM did a chip kick in the same situation and it didn't come off. I can see why Ireland didn't try one.
Clearly the Irish team are avid readers of the Fern

Good Christ. How did this not get pinged?
Obviously you have the Ardie steal, but that neck roll on JB! Barnes was definitely partying like it was 2007.1M views · 8.4K reactions | Ref Barnes should have penalised Ireland,...
Ref Barnes should have penalised Ireland, right in front of the line umpire and ref. BUT they just didn’t wanna let SAVEA be great and hero 🤦🏽♂️ Well...
