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, EnglandThey 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.They lost to Wales at home last year as well

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.

@Chris looool buuuuullshit
Either that or every other stat is vastly understated
I think @Stargazer is right, if EB doesn't immediately kill it, the retribution to the knob-gobbling he's received is going to be severe

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

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.

Just stole this from t’interweb…..
Seems apt here.
“Billed weight is the weight that WWE wants you to believe is that superstar's real weight. It's generally higher than their actual weight to make them seem bigger. Or in some cases, the billed weight is less than the superstar's weight to make them seem smaller. To make themselves appear “Larger than life".

I find it genuinely difficult to guess the real weight of players I've only seen on TV or from a distance.
Only last week I was playing footy with an ex u20 Kiwi rep and he was >130kg. Admittedly he's a big unit but I'd have guessed 120 tops.
Perhaps that just means I can't judge weight.

Add 10kg for the bottoms.
As to Ethan, he does have very square shoulders and a secret neck.
I could well imagine he's over 110 but if 118 I just hope he is matchfit and fast. Because that is some natural engine he has. -

Because that is some natural engine he has.It would be excellent if he can play with the impact of 118 with his engine. I've said before that he would benefit from more weight because his workrate is beyond question.
