@aa I hope you’re wrong about Wharburton not lasting, I’d be sorry not to be able to watch him play. Maybe he needs a little break and some warm weather in the South of France.

@duckman – based on the side CFH posted you have to find a goal kicker so that would be H/P or Farrell.

I think the Lions tour caught up with Wales.

France choked, terrible weary forwards pass at the end there plus a shocker of a penalty attempt

What a fitting send-off for such a hero. (Not his best game to be fair, but he made the decision to come back in for that try so good on him.)
Well said. If the winger (sorry dint know his name) had run a better line to comi it the full back BOD would have had a fairlytale try.

Haha @deallarcey ! I haven’t seen the game, oddly limited enthusiasm for finding a recording had a pair of half price tickets offered last minute but was at friends birthday bash 🙁

He had a good Lions tour but I wasn’t impressed with him in the 6N. He certainly gets around and seems to be available to receive a pass more than you’d think. However, I only ever saw him run into trouble. A very good number 8 would be expected to make far more line-breaks and he didn’t do enough of that for me. Holds onto possession well when tackled, but not enough yards made. There’s no doubt his self-belief won’t be damaged by anything anyone says. 😀

I have no idea what Trimble was doing passing to BOD so early for that move. Thankfully BOD had the presence of mind to come back in and the move led to a try in the end anyway, so a happy ending. Other than that, I do think Trimble had an excellent 6N overall. Can’t really be arsed arguing whether he should be in the team of the tournament or not. He’s got the medal hanging around his neck, so he can be happy with his workload.

Yep, can’t disagree with that. He does lots of good stuff, but doesn’t do enough of the touching down perhaps.

Jam,l meant HP instead of brown for the goal kicking.

@duckman yes I know I was agreeing with you, either it’s either 1/2p or Farrell that has to come in. Brown’s been fabulous but in the real world (and I know this is a fantasy team) you need a goal kicker

Good people of the rugby thread would any of you please sponsor this ageing 17st former prop to do a leg in a half marathon.

I know that 4 miles to the fitness machines on here may not seem like much but to haul my bulk round is quite an effort.

I’m raising money for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign as my nephew has Duchenne MD which will have a terrible impact on his life.

If anyone could spare a few pounds I’d be most grateful.

Thanks
