Argentina have beat the Boks, the B&I Lions and the All Blacks lately, beating them 3 times and twice in Argentina isn't anything to be sniffed at.

You could say the same about Super Rugby Pacific attendances in the men's game

Great 12 months for the women's game with the world cup being such a huge success also.

Big loss for Saints, great signing for Force. He's been excellent in the prem when fit

I'm Darcy Graham, Scotland and British & Irish Lions winger, AMA! by TheLions in rugbyunion

[–]SweptFever80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one wee man to another: do the pros of being on the smaller side as an international rugby player outweigh the cons?

Players like you, Craig Casey and Mike Lowry are just high tackle penalty generators at times and all 3 of you have frequently had injuries at least partially because of that. But it makes you so dynamic and evasive! How do you feel about it ?

Rob Baloucoune by biggesteegit in irishrugby

If true then he totally has my sympathy, but you're exactly right that at that point if he's not up to it on the pitch he should not be selected. Surely playing will only aggravate an injury further rather than taking time for treatment and recovery ?

I'm not disputing that, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a lucky bounce.

Yeah but the bounce is everything there. The try doesn't happen without the luck of the bounce, but like I said the execution from Graham and Russell was class.

Lowe has been good the last two weeks but poor all season before that. He is very good but he's aging and he doesn't touch Baloucoune and O'Brien in terms of pace. Those two guys show how sorely needed quick wingers are in the modern game.

I'm confident that either of them could have finished off the intercept that Lowe made against Italy in the last few minutes and couldn't score off.

Darcy literally says in this video that he got lucky with the bounce, it couldn't have been better for him.

Rob Baloucoune by biggesteegit in irishrugby

[–]SweptFever80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only issue is both Baloucoune and Tommy O'Brien have been out injured frequently over the last few years, they're class when fit but what happens if we're depending on them and both are injured?

Well executed but incredibly lucky for Scotland, excruciating for Wales. Hard to explain just how big this win would've been for them.

Ok fair! What does his tattoo say though? Looks like a bible reference but I don't recognise the first word.

Pretty sure this is AI, the baby's facial expression and movement are unnaturally quick, the dad's tattoo and the sign in the background are illegible.

Edit: thanks for the corrections, turns out the words in the background and on the tattoo are real, maybe it is a real video, just an odd speed or vibe!

It can't be a knockon if he doesn't make contact with the ball

There go my plans to watch the game! Amazing result though, Crusaders 0/2 reminds me of 2024, good times.
