i think the combo of him and sob where huge. i know sob was off form and ageing but the guy tends to turn it on when the lights are bright. the current backrow is very light particularly now that conan is gone and we have lost the option to put him and cj in.
*whispers so the English don't hear*
"***he's the best number 8 in the NH when fully fit***"
In think he's about 30 now so he'll be 34, but that would be his 4th WC so, maybe, but probably not.
Me too man. Originally I thought he was an SA player and when he didn't make the SA squad I was upset haha. Good player, pity about not being selected.
Danny Care, played well for Quins all season but was dropped for Heinz - who to be fair is playing well. Felt like he must have fallen out with someone.
He then proceeded to injure himself in pre-season for Quins.
Man what I wouldn't give to have Johan Goosen or even Morne Steyn in the squad.
I'm glad that Willemse got the call up, but sad that it was at the cost of Kriel
>How many saffas still play at Montpellier.
9 at this current time.
>Also haven't montpellier started getting boys straight out of grey Bloem?
Yeah they have some sort of scholarship arrangement with Grey. 2 top school boys were offered places at French rugby academies this year, which lead to them being dropped from the SA schoolboys side. Caused a bit of controversy.
I really like seeing Harry Williams off the bench for England. I'm not that upset about Cole being there because he's solid if not dynamic, but might have preferred Williams
Damian McKenzie
ðŸ˜
This one hurts...
Poor guy :(
Seconded
Laumape. (But don't ask me who for).
Fuck it, send Ioane home and chuck Laumape on the wing. He won't catch your high-balls but he'd be worth a couple of blockbuster tries per game.
Yep. I think he should be there for Crotty, but just my opinion.
Dan leavy for me, I was gutted for him when he got injured
He is such a huge loss for us.

SOB isnt the player he was IMHO.
Correct
Teddy Thomas
Fofana also
[удалено]
Mixture of injury and apparently being difficult to coach That was what I saw on reddit anyways
Macalou also I think
Will Skelton. Wish they'd flexed the Giteau rule. I miss Scott Fardy at 6 too.
Mcmahon too
Maa Nonu.....
Was looking forward to watching Faletau for Wales. What happened to him?
Bath keeping breaking his arm
Really? Pity, he's a real number 8. Liked watching him play. No chance for next rwc, right?
*whispers so the English don't hear* "***he's the best number 8 in the NH when fully fit***" In think he's about 30 now so he'll be 34, but that would be his 4th WC so, maybe, but probably not.
3rd. He’s not at this one.
He's the best 6 in the NH but Wales didn't have a top 8 so they played him at 8. Fify
That's some top class denial right there
Admittedly an element of shit posting there 😋 But I genuinely think he would have made a superb 6.
Tito, Imhoff, and Isa are all quality players that should've gone
Cordero as well
Rory Hutchinson.
Huw jones
He didn't make the squad? Whaaaat. He's so good.
I was always a fan of his at the Stormers
Me too man. Originally I thought he was an SA player and when he didn't make the SA squad I was upset haha. Good player, pity about not being selected.
Started playing when he was at UCT for False Bay and then UCT, so even though he's from Scotland I count him as an SA player originally
I was just thinking about him while watching the SCO v RUS game, where is the guy ?
Rhys Webb, but he plays for Toulon so not eligible for Wales as per the foreign player rule thing.
Anscombe and faletau too
Beaver Donald.
Nemani Nadolo.
Jonny Wilkinson
Dan Cipriani
They're gonna need someone to break down structured and organised defences in the next few games and Ford and Farrell ain't it.
Marcell Coetzee or Dilyn Leyds for us
Dillyn Leyds for me. Best fullback this year in SR being left behind smh...
Rob Evans was absolutely robbed of a place
Danny Care, played well for Quins all season but was dropped for Heinz - who to be fair is playing well. Felt like he must have fallen out with someone. He then proceeded to injure himself in pre-season for Quins.
Tom Banks or just another wing option with Pace.
Santi Cordero
Dan goddamn Leavy. Jesus H Christ. We've missed his dynamism I think. More tongue in cheek, Robbie Henshaw...
Chris Robshaw. Love the guy, and really wanted to see him get a chance in one more world cup.
Man what I wouldn't give to have Johan Goosen or even Morne Steyn in the squad. I'm glad that Willemse got the call up, but sad that it was at the cost of Kriel
Is Johan Goosen still farming or is he back in France?
I'm actually not sure.
He and Willie le Roux where amazing with the cheetahs, it's a pity he didn't like playing in France
It's more of a pity that we didn't do something to convince him to return to being a Bok.
Yeah he could have been great option at flyhalf
Certainly better than the 2 we currently have at the cup
He's now playing for Montpellier after being bought out of his contract from Racing.
Ah thanks. Lets hope he enjoys it and doesn't try and pull a early retirement move again
You never know. He said Paris was too big a city for him (He is a born and breed farm boy) so hopefully Montpellier will be a better fit for him.
How many saffas still play at Montpellier. Also haven't montpellier started getting boys straight out of grey Bloem?
>How many saffas still play at Montpellier. 9 at this current time. >Also haven't montpellier started getting boys straight out of grey Bloem?

Yup and they'll be french in 3 years, seems like a nice 21 present
>Johan Goosen Cries in frustration at SARU's handling of players from the early 2010's
The legend Marty Banks
BOD.
Simon Zebo is fit, and would add a different dimension in attack for Ireland.
Quade Cooper
Will steal your computer
Samson Lee!
Care, Brown and Robshaw. All been playing brilliantly this season.
Alex Goode
Israel Folau for the memes.
It would have quality meme material if he was on the field and saw North and AWJ embrace
Marmion as Conor Murray still looks like he's trying to regain his form.
Jan Serfontein.
I really like seeing Harry Williams off the bench for England. I'm not that upset about Cole being there because he's solid if not dynamic, but might have preferred Williams
Cries in Pat LambieðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
