      That Fijian bloke hit 39 of their own rucks in 1 game, that's pretty good heat...

        @MN5 Interesting. Australia with more players (4) in that list than SA (1).

        NZ's sole representative is a back up at the moment, though I'm sure his time will come in the next 4 years.

        I wonder how many of the players listed currently play or recently played in the French Top 14?

        Na they have two.

        I woulda thought Etzebeth was heavier than RG Snyman but then again these stats are very inaccurate. Not like fighting sports where they weigh in a day or two prior to the event.

        @NTA sure has some tubby lads in his team.

          TBF 1 and 2 are NZers too so we technically dominate the top 4.

                  Possible Unpopular Opinion

                  The tournament suffers as a spectacle by only having games on the weekend.

                  Agree. One of us or France should be playing again tonight, or possibly yesterday.

                  Squads of 33, use them.

                    Should have midweek games of 7s between the fringe players in each squad. We've got wingers to burn so should be sweet...

                        @booboo The comment was made that 7am is a decent time, so I assumed that was about watching live.

                        I need evenings during the week to catch up with the games I couldn't watch live during the weekend. If you add games during the week, I simply don't have the time to watch the majority of them.

                        Add games? They would be shifted, not added.

                        That is some of the weirdest logic I've read on here for a while. You're glad there are no midweek games because you get time midweek to watch games you didnt have time to watch on weekends.

                                  It’s very stop start alrite. There is a two week break in there somewhere too right?

                                  We need games every two days so Sexton ends up in the knackers yard.
