Round 1 of the 2019 Rugby World Cup demonstrated what we already knew: there is some serious quality at this tournament, with New Zealand,…
“O’Driscoll – one of the greatest outside centres the world has seen”… Very very good player, but this is way over the top. How about dialling back the hyperbole just a tad mate. Wouldn’t be in the top 10 13s even just since the world cup started in 87.

Yeah why should super rugby be trying to save the us?

That the writer thought plumber should be anywhere near the all black 10 jersey tells you everything he knows about the game, which is not a lot

The All Blacks sent out the wrong message under Razor. Now another star is off because of it
Looked pretty good? After a season so far that most over 50 would be ashamed of, he does one run in space and almost tripped over his own feet doing that. It’s actually embarrassing having Barret as ab captain when you compare to those who have gone before. Was the same with cane. I’ve watched the abs as a fan my whole life and Leroy has a point

Reece at centre is a terrible idea. Too small, weak on defence and can’t run straight or straighten the attack.

Yep, the new wales

The South Africans have got a bunch of incredible young talent coming through in pretty much any position. Australia is looking strong this year. Would be great to Watch a one off Bledisloe this ANZAC day

Seems like a bit of selective stats. What is the average at super rugby games in NZ?

Really great piece and thought provoking analysis. I’d question 2 points, without any evidence to back it up but my gut. First, you mentioned France don’t have any good props coming through. Are you sure? From the performance of their under 20s they seem to be in quote a strong position for years to come.
My second point is really about what was not said in your piece. Scooter Barret does just not seem to be world class at the moment and it seems like we will be stuck with him as skipper at least until next world cup. I doubt he would make the starting team of any of the top 5 or 6 teams in the world and stands out to me as the big red flag in your excellent piece
The man who saved the All Blacks' pack - and might be bringing through a new golden generation
Sualli played very well defensively in a game that he was tightly marked, particularly by his opposite who made some outstanding defensive reads and tackles to keep him subdued. It was a tough game for him and he handled it exceptionally well. I guess the question is, how will his body handle years of being targeted? He’s a tough kid, but he is going to need to be. I think the signs are great

Genia and QC? Got to be kidding. This should be the best and brightest young dudes from super rugby

I can only watch games reffed by Carley on replay. He stops games for 10 minutes at a time, multiple times a match. Always about him. In this game he missed 2 blatant forward passes in one movement. Stands in the way of players at the ruck. Basically converting rugby, especially big games, into an unwatchable chore. Not international standard, ruined this game as well but thankful for fast forward

I like the idea of cheika, he would do well I reckon. Especially if he still has Schmidt on board for some strat
