    Russell is a genius and a reckless knob head.

    Only saw the highlights but is good goal kicking and an intercept enough to justify him being the B&I Lions 10?

    You'd think the ridiculous action at the end of that intercept play would give any coach pause for thought. Very Spencer v crusaders like.

    He wouldn't have made it

    The pass was the correct decision IMHO

      I’ve never really been that convinced by Ryan Baird as either a lock or a blindside but watching him against the Bulls, I reckon he’d make a pretty decent number 8. Seems to thrive when he gets more touches of the ball.

        He was already looking before he hit the 22 line

        Passed at approx the 18m mark

        His arse went / realised he was too slow

          @MiketheSnow would have gone over in the tackle at worst.

                Twickenham was an 80,000 sell out for the Premiership Final yesterday, whereas Wembley was only 3/4 full for the Rugby League Challenge Cup last weekend.

                League may be the dominant code in Australia and is rapidly overtaking Rugby in New Zealand, but Rugby is the code bringing in the punters in much greater numbers in England.

                  Ma'a Nonu played ten minutes and scored a try for Toulon last night in their Top 14 play-off game (10:50 on the link below). Ma'a Nonu is now 43 years old.....

                        @sparky Video is geo-blocked.

                        I had a little look at the Toulon site earlier though. Mainly looking for hints at how Big Leicester went. 🙂

                        Did Ma'a come on at number 8? It looked like he replaced the 8.

                          @Chris-B No, he was at second-five for his try. 5m attacking scrum, short pass from the half back and he crash over in the tackle. I will try to find non-geoblocked version of that try. The has perhaps the worst Rugby commentary I've ever heard.

                                    @cgrant Which under 30s more interested in the All Blacks or the Warriors? The All Blacks have to get young New Zealanders or else we are going to have a big problem in a few year's time.

                                      The All Blacks need to start dominating again, starting with a 3-0 walloping of a French B side.

                                        RL is nearly non existent in most countries (South Africa, France, Ireland, Argentina, Scotland, Wales, Italy, Georgia, Japan, aso ...). There are only two serious opponents (Australia and Great Britain) for the Kiwis. On long and possibly mid term, this could weary the under 30s.
