    I like the look of Blackadder as a bench option that covers all three positions, and will bring huge energy when he gets on the paddock. I think that'd add a lot to the team.

        Yeah I think Ireland picked up 12k earlier, seems pretty good support in France, wish I was there

          @Stargazer At least he's available for the QF.

          Is that a good thing? So far in about 60mins of playing time he's contributed something like 5 knock-ons, 27 missed tackles, 43 scrum penalties and a red card.

          Oh and a try

            Foster 'surprised' by 3 weeks down to 2 decision. Shows what a fucking numpty he is, considering every man and his dog had that as the outcome days ago.

                    the last four years? If that's what we are going off you can write South Africa off as well

                    Just this year they have lost to us, and scraped by a terrible Argentina at home
                    Last year they lost to Ireland and France and NZ and Australia
                    The year before they lost to us, Australia twice, the Lions, England

                    They took 2020 off

                    Terrible form, can't put 3 good games together

                    I get we're not great. But pretty much no one on this Board expects us to win the cup, in fact i expect the QF poll to be almost historic for an AB test. What you are saying is not some groundbreaking news flash.
                    But we are not without hope, and right there on the 3rd line of betting i reckon.

                      it seems Blackadder has added some bulk, Jason Ryan quotes Blackadder below as 118 KG now.

                      Forwards coach Jason Ryan, for one, is happy to have his former Crusaders charge in place. He knows exactly what he’s getting.

                      “He’s been good. He’s got into his work with us really well, He hasn’t had full training at intensity yet but he’s got to know the calls, the language. And he’s come in great shape. He’s 118kg, so he’ll be big and physical. He’s done everything he can to put some pressure on.”

                        118kg at 1.9m? Hope he can still get around the field for the time he is on!

                          That’s Carl Hayman sized.

                          Luckily normal rules don’t apply to Ethan Blackadder though.

                                    Yeah 118kg at just under 6 3 is either muscle bound as fuck or fat as fuck. EB is neither.

                                      it seems Blackadder has added some bulk, Jason Ryan quotes Blackadder below as 118 KG now.

                                      Forwards coach Jason Ryan, for one, is happy to have his former Crusaders charge in place. He knows exactly what he’s getting.

                                      “He’s been good. He’s got into his work with us really well, He hasn’t had full training at intensity yet but he’s got to know the calls, the language. And he’s come in great shape. He’s 118kg, so he’ll be big and physical. He’s done everything he can to put some pressure on.”

                                      Blackadder below is 118 kegs, when you add that to Blackadder above, that's some weight!

                                          Foster 'surprised' by 3 weeks down to 2 decision. Shows what a fucking numpty he is, considering every man and his dog had that as the outcome days ago.

                                          Yeah, coz he really meant that and it wasn't at all just a dig at the inconsistencies...

                                          I will be so happy next year that FDS will be no longer.

                                          He is NOT a good coach or selector, but by fuck it gets tiresome.
