    That's an interesting article. He's sort of changed tack in his trolling. My main problem with this isn't even the wind-up bits.

    Brodie Retallick, the world’s most fawned-over lock

    is old school trolling, and just light enough to catch a few.

    His assessment of the Wallabies is astounding. Not even the most rabid Waratah supporter really believes in Foley at test level. When did Kerevi become world-class again?

    But, in Australia's last test, they went within 5 metres of winning the series against the "fawned-over" Irish, and not with fancy backs stuff, but with their pack absolutely rolling through Ireland at will. Those "giraffes" are tough bastards. And their front row are tough bastards as well.

    @mariner4life Could that actually have been a compliment?

    About BBBR ... I was wondering if that could be a compliment in the Walrus' addled brain?

    if i wanted to say someone was over rated without actually saying it, i would call them fawned over. Compare that to some of the language about other players. It's a great wind-up line, i tip my hat.

    Well, I thought he'd be the Walrus' type of player, hard arse like Johnson, although probably displays way too much flair for him.

    The Walrus probably has a poster of Maro Itoje on his bedroom wall. 😄

    Looks like Jones succeeded. Must be ten or so posts discussing his article. Stuff and NZ Herald rigorously scrutinise each article to look for talking points. And Gifford had a go too. The guy never fails.

    there is fuck all else to talk about. There is a Bledisloe this weekend, and i only knew that because i saw an ad yesterday. There is fucking zero build up. Both teams are in their bullshit "talk down" mode. We may as well have a discussion about that article, or i have to go do work

    Yep it's just Jones being Jones,and by being a clever prick he is actually saying that this year 6N is best because they have teams rated 2-3-4 in the world, so he obviously is saying RC was superior when Aus and SA were 2-3 or 2-4 even.
