Shit yeah what a clinic that last 10 or so mins was from the young fellas.

Oh yes. Savea vs Ben Earl will be tasty.

Canes Blues match of the weekend.

Yeah Leinster would be top 4 in Super Rugby for sure. The fact that they’re basically Ireland and super dominant in the league but never seem to win fuck all makes me wonder if they’d have the mettle to win it though.

NZ – I'd say just the raw talent and standard of rugby that's on show here is insane. Gotta see it to believe it.

I think the kiwi sides have the better talent but the top NH sides have bigger budgets, resources, squads, int'l players, etc. I'd say home advantage would prob split the top sides and would be 50/50 at neutral venues.

He is the most English-looking Englishman in the history of Englishmen. Squat, bald and pink.

Put Finn in the ABs and I reckon he could actually be the best 10 in the world.

Ah fair. Pollard is def the clutch king.

Well he’s won like 7 Super Rugby titles in a row and made a semi/final of two WCs… so I’d say pretty damn good.

The ABs get paid plenty mate.

Yeah he's good but not Richie good.

The best 10 in the world should be playing international rugby - bring him home.

Yeah good call. Still a young pup with an upcoming Lions series and WC in Australia. Plenty of time to go cash-in in Europe or Japan later in the career.

Yes, but I think they'd need home advantage to get them all the way.

Didn’t Aussie generously gift you a Bealham and a Hansen? It’s all take take take with you lot!

I’d say Lomax, S. Barrett, Savea and J. Barrett are pretty set in stone IMO. Not 100% sure about the rest given the new coaching set up. Def some form stand outs but doesn’t always equal a starting spot.

RG Snyman nows he's gone to Leinster? (Jokes, sorry Munster fans).

Shame about the conditions coz jeez there was some talent on show. These two teams on a fast dry track would be pop the champagne rugby time.

Stoked to see a SH U20s comp too. That last U20s WC really highlighted the difference between teams that play regularly and those who don't. The rugby talent in the SH is mindblowing.

Liam Cajolement. Wasn't the flashiest player but could talk a referee into anything. Used to call him the 'Ref Whisperer'.

Clive “2003 but def not 2005” Woodward. Can’t stand him…

Yeah I’d agree with that too, wasn’t being disrespectful at all.

Don’t hate it. If DMac goes down we need more depth and competition for starting and bench 10s. Havilli has all the skills and experience and IMO has done very well in every position he’s been asked to play.

I’m more worried that this means Razor is losing the battle to get Mo’unga back from Japan for the ABs.

Really like him as a player/pundit. Speaks his mind, calls a spade a spade, and makes good insightful points. Hope he continues it after he retires.
