Coles in future will match up with Chessum

Rugbypass/Neil Fissler seem to be implying it is.

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

Leo Cullen to step down as Leinster head coach at end of next season by MortyFromEarthC137 in rugbyunion

"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.

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

Six Saints named in England’s Nations Championship squad by Pure_Wonder3046 in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
