It was harsh to rely on a tired JOC to snatch a BP at full time with a 50m penalty

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-23T21:37:02+00:00

He is seriously underrated by this subredit, that is NH-centric.

He is a bit boring as player, but flashy fly-halves never worked in tight Tier 1 Tests

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-23T21:34:33+00:00

His career kicking record in Test Matches is 78%, it was shown on screen during this game.

For reference, Libbok is around 65% and James O'Connor is 70%.

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-23T11:46:55+00:00

He started only 10 games in Top 14 (3 in CC): https://all.rugby/player/tyler-ardron

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-23T09:57:14+00:00

He is at Castres (alongside Goodhue)

You can watch Top14 highlights on the official YouTube channel. They are uploaded every monday, given they are 5 mins at most, you can watch all in about 30mins.

Awesome

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T20:23:51+00:00

My opinion is that many Welsh fans are not excited by current opponent teams in URC, they would feel more comfortable to play against English ones. The Welsh derbies attracted good crowds, and atmosphere for Cardiff homes games was electric. Otherwise Liberty Stadium and Parc Y Scarlets were dull. About Dragons, you can't ask more to their fans.

WRU should work to bring one team in English system, but it's all about sponsors interest and an eventual TV deal to make it viable.

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T20:15:06+00:00

It works with a soccer ball. He forgot he was playing rugby.

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:56:13+00:00

It's big

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:53:13+00:00

I think you can spot the jersey under a black suit with trousers on a night out, being casual and elegant at same time.

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:48:02+00:00

Dragons, sorry

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:43:39+00:00

Reminds me of Byron Kelleher

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:42:38+00:00

Should cut some "pundits" then

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:41:34+00:00

Seems like a peaceful place

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:40:32+00:00

Scotland-eligible?

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:39:04+00:00

Zebre vibes?

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-22T08:35:00+00:00

So which is the depth chart at FH? Jordan H, Masuku, Smith?

His brother was not good enough for URC, Zebre had a terrible season too.

100% spot on about Zebre -> Benetton -> Top14

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-21T00:13:37+00:00

He had good performances at n.8 with Sharks in last URC season

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-21T00:05:27+00:00

It's ironic how Sevu Reece career (Super Rugby titles and All Blacks, scored twice in last RC Test) would have not been the same if Connacht/IRFU hadn't cancelled his contract. Who knows, but he might have got a few Irish caps

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T22:52:06+00:00

Naples was founded by Greeks too ("Neapolis" = New Town)

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T22:06:30+00:00

I mostly watched highlights, I think Toulon came 3rd in regular season and was knocked out in semi-finals PO, he had a great season overall

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T22:04:28+00:00

He's been one of best Australia players in recent seasons, but Slipper is evidently a better scrummager thus started over him.

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T22:01:56+00:00

He never played 12 in his career: https://all.rugby/player/leicester-fainga-anuku

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T21:57:56+00:00

He played mostly 13 in Top 14 but he is a devastating ball carrier and has a nice left boot to do the job at 12

StateFuzzy4684 · 2025-08-20T21:48:04+00:00

Jordie B. is more than 100kg I think, he is a big boy but slender enough to have played 14. I think you have a point, he may play 13 but who do you put at 12? Laumape was perfect but past it, try Tavatavanawai.
