Cheika has to be fired. Simple as that. His team selections are a fucking joke. We have hard, rough forwards. But where are they. Playing in the NH or back in Aus.

Englands played really well the last 50 mins, their 13 and 9 were supoib. Wallabies bottled it as usual and they really should've scored more than one try at the start. Now that should give me enough space to rightly point out that Peyper was fucking shit

LITERALLY PERF LADS

Ireland have improved a lot but still not as much as England have.

Reckon we'll get the record 19? The final 6N game in Ireland would be a cracker if it's still on the cards, which I fail to see how it won't be

>>72884570
England feed off mistakes by the other team. This Ireland team is very well disciplined. I can't see England beating them next year.

>>72884381
Cheika kept rewarding failed players.

Phipps can't pass, and fucks around. Neh frequently lets tries in.
Mumm is the worst forward in recent memory.
Sio can't scrum.
Robertson and slipper are too small, can't scrum, and can't ruck.
Foley is boring and everyone predicts him because Cheika plays him for 78 mins a game.
Simmons and Douglas are soft, slow, and weak.

Hooper don't mesh well together. We need a proper big 6 and 8 like timani and holloway.
No one other than Pocock can make a turnover


I could go on and on.

>>72884627
They feed off our mistakes because we have no form or composure anymore, we can make space but can't capitalise, England seem to be the exact opposite. Manage to score with little effort

People keep saying Hartley should be lions captain, which is fair enough, he's had a good year but is he better than Best?

>>72884627
Well if you say so.

There's only one way to find out.

>connacht unironically beating treviso by 45 points

>>72884650
Moore needs to retired. We have more depth at hooker than any other spot in Australia. There's literally 5 guys who could replace him and look better( or at least no worse)

Frisky needs to start at 9. We need a third playmaker on the bench, not another winger (because Haylet petty can cover fullback)

Instead we're stuck with 2 midgets (hooper and McMahon) who can't ruck,line out, or turnover. And 2 retirees (fardy who's good, mumm whos cancer).

>>72884893

>>72891992
Because Kearney caught Schmidt fucking an Altar boy so he always gets started.

>>72884627
England have been scoring off phase play for fun recently

>>72891469

Well yeah I'd probably pick all of them.

But would you be surprised if Brown started over Hogg, North started instead of Watson or Vunipola instead of Faletau?

The Lions looks less clear cut this year. In previous years there's always been guys like BOD and POC who were always going to start.

Current era sucks, there are no stars any more.

So five matches were played in Top 14 today and a total 37 tries were scored in them. Is north the new south lads?

>>72891784
Hogg is an incredibly dangerous player when he doesn't try to play 7s during a 15-a-side game. He has incredible speed and he's physical in the breakdown.

>>72891929
I like Payne, but he's currently unproven in that position.

I only watched the highlights earlier but fucking hell timani looks incredible.
Anyone else think aus looked the better team and eng just got some lucky breaks here and there, hard to tell properly from just highlights.

>>72896544
England did get lucky breaks, try off intercept, kepu brainfade and 4 dud ref calls in a row that led to a tap penalty 10 metres out, but they were the better team

Most of those regions don't exist anymore.

Plus occitania makes no sense, it never existed on an historical point of view, it's just a relatively modern construction invented to name an area with a language with a common root. Occitan in itself has shitload of local variations.

>>72896544
Australia smashed it for the first 20 minutes, England were the better team in the second half and overall.

>>72899212
>>72897399
Alright thanks, looking forward to seeing more of timani though, he looked head and shoulders above his opposite number.

>>72896544
The problem is timani plays 2nd row for his SR team, so he doesn't have the best skills at the back of the scrum.

He should really be playing blindside for the Wallabies but Cheika continues with his fucking Hooper/pocock meme, that unbalances the backrow.

>>72907919

All he's good for is scrums. He does nothing in the loose. New Zealand would simply get the ball out of their own scrum quickly, and they don't give away enough scrums that would result in a yellow card. They'd have a field day out of scrums, running at him every time they could.

hes actually decent in the loose

How many Scottish players do we think weill make it into the loins? I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd put a cheeky £100 on a strong show of at least 6-8 players.

>>72908225
The starting 15? One at best.

In the squad? 6 maybe.

>>72908197
I've seen him absolutely exposed in the Pro12 a few times. New Zealand would definitely target him.

Toulon 37 - 10 Bordeaux Bègles

Rumours about Cipriani fucking off to Toulon. Who didnt see it coming? No call-up since ever, frustration will follow money

>>72907463
Earth

>>72916256
Won't be as easy as the previous years for Toulon to dominate, though. They lost too many charismatic guys like Wilkinson or Van Niekerk, as well as Laporte. I hate this fucking corrupted asshole, but you have to admit he's a tremendous manager who was able to change this bunch of old mercenaries into a cohesive wolfpack that craves for victory.

Without him, Toulon often looked like just what they are: an unconcerned gang of mercenaries searching for a big paycheck.

Depends on the 6N tbf. Scotland beating Ireland at Murrayfield in the opening weekend might very well get some noggins joggin

When the players selected for the Lions tour play their games will they have to maintain the facade and wear red, or will their normal white shirts be ok?

He couldn't have put the announcement off until after the Wasps games? Win one of those and they're as good as into the quarter-finals.

Who replaces him anyway? People are saying they'll get in Bernard Jackman or Ronan O'Gara, but look at their recent appointments
>lost their forwards coach to Glasgow two years ago, promoted the academy forwards coach up, and hired some local schools coach to the academy
>lost their backs coach over the summer and promoted a video analyst to the job
>lost their skills coach two months ago and decided everyone else will now just share the job.

I don't think they have the money for a big name appointment, unless Bristol are having to pay some sort of release fee to get him early. Reckon it'll be a promotion from within for someone like Nigel Carolan.
