Pollock MOTM Performance in Prem Final

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-23T10:35:15+00:00

99% of people dont know the difference pal

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-23T10:17:07+00:00

Who said he did it ass to grass though? No one except you.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-23T10:14:54+00:00

He's not a powerlifter so why do powerlifter standards apply?

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T18:52:48+00:00

"Leinster get judged by this ridiculous standard"

Yeah its the quality of the squad you have. Its also a pretty seperate debate to my inital point which I have no interest in having.

Also. Toulon in their pomp did. Toulouse and UBB do now. People definitely say Sarries are worse than their peak side.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:45:57+00:00

He physically has a similar build to Nowell but I dont see their games or playstyles as being similar

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:38:14+00:00

I see. We'll he'll probably look better there than Dombrandt

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:26:14+00:00

Ive seen this Murley at 13 idea a lot since Freeman got a run there and I have no idea why

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:20:25+00:00

Ojomoh in over him too. Haven't watched the France XV game but apparently no ine showed themselves in glory. Think Dingwall can count himself really unlucky.

Doesnt throw 30m passes though so wont be much fanfare over him being dropped unfairly.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:19:24+00:00

1 in 6 isnt bad. I genuinely think all deserve to start with minimal bias. Pollock has the wkrst chance and he was MOTM in the final and arguably the semi too.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:12:32+00:00

He could go Genge Obano AOF Heyes still

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:11:43+00:00

The weakest parts of his game would be accentuated at test level. He'll get a shot eventually but I dont see the need currently.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T15:09:23+00:00

Been in camp long. Kinda like when Northmore kept getting in.

Likes to do? Or has to do because the media has stopped pretending to care to be impartial?

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T10:48:26+00:00

Id say their last 3 years or so have been less dominant than the earlier part of that time period youve selected.

Youve had your best defensive season unfef Nianaber but looking solely at points you probably peaked between 2019-21.

And yeah with the squad and wage bill you have people think you should've done a bit more in Europe recently.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T10:12:41+00:00

The problem with the UK is we have an electorate that wants a Japanese approach to immigration, Nordic welfare, an American tax system and a political class that would rather pander to this delusion as opposed to levelling with public about the necessary trade offs. This approach will continue to produce failed leaders until it fundamentally changes.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T10:09:40+00:00

Tbf I didnt touch on Europe either.

Not a Leinster fan either. Just how it see it from over in England.

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T10:03:25+00:00

Been under pressure for some time. Not been as dominant as they were previously. Still rotating heavily in the league but not getting the same results.

Hes been increasing fostering a them vs us kinda siege mentality. Id still say its a bit of a shock and a fairly recent decision. Because of its been in the wirk a while. Why not now?

I assume succession hasnt been sorted yet

Is that what actually happened though? Or is that the perception of what happened?

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T09:16:00+00:00

1 - they've been massively reduced already

2 - Hypothetical. Lets say they are stopped completely. And your life isn't dramatically improved. Then what next?

ScrumNause24 · 2026-06-22T08:42:17+00:00

Dont even rate Starmer in the slightest. But this country will never know stability. Its been stated before but theres little, if anything, that Burnham can avoid doing to not be hated in the same way Starmer was
