>>74114676
Has halfpenny ever created anything on the wing ever? Williams is the better fullback but he can play winger better

>>74114740
He honestly looks better attacking from wing than fullback. He is a good straight-line runner with a decent inside step, but that's it really. When someone like that runs from fullback, you get something that looks about as effective as Rob Kearney. But on the wing it's all you need. I'd be tempted to start Steff Evans over Halfpenny but I'm not too sure of Sam Davies's goal kicking range. He's a good kicker, but Halfpenny has more legs.

Also, Halfpenny and Williams can quite easily switch based on whether we're attacking or defending. if England drop bombs on us we should be passing between the two anyway to beat the kick chase, so it's pretty academic. Williams at 15 gives Sam more options to bring to the line

>>74114265
I'm not Afrikaans lad, also, at least my country let's us play rugby before we are teenagers

>>74114835
Kearney had 2 clean breaks and beat 7 defenders at the weekend, he was Ireland's best back three player by a mile, which isn't saying much though

>>74114885

>>74115056

Williams is the better finisher, the better finisher goes on the wing. As you said both are going to have to return and counter anyway as England will kick a lot

> try against Canada on the wing means he will be effective against England
no

1/2p best games have all been at fullback

>>74115160

To be fair Halfpenny was a good finisher at one point too.

I thought Liam Williams looked lost at sea on the wing at times on Sunday, almost Cuthbert esque on occasions. Halfpenny reads the game better and is positionally more astute.

When they swapped shirts for one game in the autumn Halfpenny had his best attacking game in years. I wonder if defenses have got the measure of him from deep and maybe he'd be better off moving to the wing to freshen things up.

>>74115130
did he actually say this

>>74115078
Charteris isn't as physical as Jake, and England's lineout looked shocking last week while ours was fine so I don't see any great need to rotate them. I'm a massive fan of Tips, but I think we're going to have to batter England and the Moriarty/Warburton pairing should be able to dominate Wood+Haskell. I'd not be annoyed to see Tips starting though, he is a brilliant player.
>>74115160
basically what >>74115295 saidl, Williams struggles to get involved from the wings and gets frustrated. He's a natural fullback while Halfpenny is more of a natural winger with very good defensive attributes.

>>74115309

I'm paraphrasing a few quotes but he's said it all at one time or another.

In his head he things he's Jose Mourinho circa 2005, but to everybody else he comes across as a mental, rambling Aussie midget

>>74115333

I have 0 faith in our lineout, our maul's were shite (didn't we concede from a maul?) and Charteris always improves our scrum. I really want him to start.

Tipuric should start because he's the form flanker in Wales this season. No point in trying to out bosh Haskell, Hughes, Itoje, Marler, Hartley etc. because we will come off second best.

We're better off picking a more mobile pack and beating them at the breakdown, which we can do. Especially if they pick belly flop Itoje at 6 again.

>>74115333
>England's lineout looked shocking last week
they had one mistake early on and then for the rest of the game their line-out was fine

>>74115388
>didn't we concede from a maul
Sort of, it was a quick maul formed off an attempted choke tackle. We only had one or two players in it at most.
>No point in trying to out bosh Haskell, Hughes, Itoje, Marler, Hartley
Hughes is the definition of a plum at test level, he had virtually no impact on the game last week apart from one decent carry. The more I think about it I am coming round to starting Tips because of what he brings around the park to be fair. I think both Tips and Sam struggled to get involved at the breakdown much this weekend though, apart from a couple of steals. Hopefully with Toby back they can be more assertive. Whoever England pick at 6 will be outclassed, Wood is useless and Itoje gets horribly exposed playing 6 at test level

>>74115475

Tipuric isn't really a jackler at test level but Warburton will make mince meat of them at the breakdown. They don't have anybody his calibre.

Tipuric will be useful for running round like a mad cunt, and ripping the ball if we can hold up their runners. Going forwards I'm sure Eddie Jones would much rather defend against Moriarty running straight, than Tipuric jinking around and linking up with the backs.

Haskelly/Itoje/Lawes are all big units but they're not particularly mobile.

>>74115574
>than Tipuric jinking around and linking up with the backs.
True, especially with Sam playing at 10 (if he does). Some of the link-up plays between the Ospreys back row and Davies this season have been ridiculous.

Tuipolotu was not busted for a recreational substance desu. You can tell by the way it is being treated.

>>74121019

It's really disheartening to see the rumour that Ben Smith tested positive for PCP in 2013 being posted here. I've heard about this at length before, but it's completely unproven not to mention unfair to have his reputation dragged through the mud in this way despite having never missed a drugs tests.

It also completely overshadows the memory of that poor girl he raped and murdered whilst completely sober in 2012.

Our squad is good enough to win, it's just coaching/selection within the NT. There are only a few players in the England squad I'd take over their Welsh equivalents, but the England set-up as a whole is much better than ours right now.

What are the best rugby rivalries?

>>74128435
>best
What do you mean best? Consistently provide the best games or have the best atmosphere?

>>74128512

Either one.

>>74128435
Ireland and New Zealand

>>74128435
Bayonne vs Biarritz

>>74128525
All these games are usually pretty good to watch and have good atmosphere
I always enjoy
NZ v SA or Aus
For domestic games
Chiefs v Crusaders and Hurricanes v Crusaders have both been good though at the Crusaders current home ground they are not as great as they once were. It needs to be a pretty important game to fill up the Hurricanes home stadium enough to have a great atmosphere and Chiefs home games are always pretty great.
Super rugby sides from other countries are not normally as good

I need to get down to a Highlanders home game at some point, apparently they rival Chiefs home games and from the TV it sounds like it does.

>>74128435
New Zealand Australia
New Zealand South Africa
England and Australia, France, Wales and Scotland

are the only real international rivalries

Outside of international level - Leinster Munster

>>74128654
Actually I managed to get to a Crusaders v Sunwolves game last year. It was a lot of fun, the crowd was cheering for both teams. They obviously wanted the Crusaders to win but didn't want to absolutely stomp the Sunwolves.
I was sitting behind a cute little asian family and they seemed to enjoy it too.

>>74129635
it's very early what to make of france yet this championship

they always raise their game for england and especially england in twickenham but england imo didn't seem to reach quite their expected levels, especially in the pack

their wingers are quite mercurial too, could make hay against the irish wingers and defence in the first half last weekend or could just as easily fuck it up

ill be disappointed if they end up being shite again

>>74128435
CASI x SIC

>>74130139
ringrose was alright, hardly worse than anyone else and it was his first start in the six nations

gameplan worked decently in the second half, no?

kearney was literally our best back, apart from maybe henshaw who was decent in the second half but way below his standards

bowe is passed it but was only on the bench due to injuries (olding) and his potential to cover wing and centre given the players we had on the pitch

we definitely missed trimble though, earls was poor and zebo mediocre

scotland deserved the win for their composure and insistence in the last 10 but the truncated preparation clearly affected the irish teams performance in the first half, that said scotland took advantage of it and played well and were good in the first 30 taking nothing from them

i do agree though i do dislike the one of runners

Unironically hate Wales more. England were good cunts in the 70s, coming over twice in one year to give Ireland games. Ireland were favourites for the Championship, but Wales and Scotland refused to come to Dublin "because of the Troubles" even though no threat had been made towards them and the English team would have been the only target of an attack. I just hate the way as well, that the Welsh have been buddy-buddy with England for pretty much all of their history, barely even wanted their own Parliament, have never really sought independence, but then get all fucking chirpy at Six Nations time, booing God Save the Queen like there's some history of animosity between them. It's like a little chihuahua chirping at a Great Dane from behind a fence.

There's also the way that the fans have treated Rolland since 2011. It was the correct decision. He's the only good referee we've produced, and I'd say he was probably second best in the NH after Owens for a lot of that time. Just because a load of other refs were too pussy to enforce the rules doesn't mean that it's legal (HE COULDA DOYD). Even Warburton has admitted it was a red and Rolland still gets shit from Welsh fans even after retiring.

Then there's 2014, when they sent out Scott Williams to injure O'Driscoll in his final year (Williams injured himself in the hit and had to go off after 15 minutes, but still). Then there's the Welsh turning on the Irish, Scots and Italians to help the English and French fuck us over when the European tournaments were being restructured. The way the Welsh newspapers think the Pro12 is a conspiracy to keep the regions down, as if they need any help doing that.

Finally, there's Gatland. I know the IRFU fucked him over years ago, and he was well within his rights dropping BOD in 2013, but he's still a cunt.

a problem with our defence at the weekend, firstly missing payne which is massive, and acknowledging our poor defensive organization, our defensive systems which was narrow in midfield (especially at the weekend due to the poor organization and concentration first half) was called by henshaw at 12 whereas usually Payne calls it at 13

imo it seems to favour an outside in interpretation and focus from 13 to be effective but also missing payne is fundamental

interesting to note payne was missing for argentina and the weekend, both instances where it failed

>tfw there aren't IRFU and RFUI like there are IFA and FAI

>>74130553
agree with this desu, don't mind gatland though

also 2011 6 Nations they won from an illegal lineout and 2013 6 Nations they won from a penalty at the very end from a ferris "tip tackle" penalty at the last minute while at exactly the same time bradley davies did an even worse warburton off the ball on ryan ffs

>>74130339
I know exactly what that is without clicking it.

>>74130656
That's because rugby brings people together and heals wounds. There is no hate in rugby you fucking hue monkey fuck.

>>74130620
and earls was the pivot defender like at 13 against argentina for scotlands second try

desperately need trimble back and couldn't give a fuck if we threw conway or o halloran on the wing given it's italy but that's not happening
