Maybe this is the opposite of the 2007 RWC campaign. Rather than over thinking it about whether individual players can get through three knockout games in a row, just get stuck in and fire up for each game at a time.
Injuries, attrition, and tiredness being factors that each team that makes the Final just has to deal with.
Really good point. Seen that in successful business teams where planning got screwed and they had to just stay focussed on the basics. Imagine the military do this every day.
i'll always look back on the 2015 highlanders
more or less the same 23 played the final 5 games
Wellington > Auckland > Dunedin > Sydney > Wellington....they run out onto the caketin looking like mummies covered that that much strapping tape after bounding around ANZ...amazing what blind passion can get done

Always appreciate a good Highlanders reference.

He did a good job. I will say that the difference between Nuggy and almost any other scrumhalf is noticeable in terms of speed of pass, but holy shit even Richie's passing from the base looked disabled senior citizen in comparison.

How about when Will Jordan stepped in to scrumhalf at one of the rucks? Quite soon after the sending-off, I think it was.
Much laughter from the table I was sitting at... it was the fucking perfect riposte to anybody doubting what a scrumhalf does. -
apologies if its already been said ,
Brodie allegedly sledged O'mahony,
allegedly said, hey Peter , 4 more years fuckwit .

also why is it a line graph? That's not appropriate for the "data"

Nah. A nerd would have found a way to bring in "The Thick Pencil test"

BTW Big Sam, that unnecessary shove on Faz in Japan RWC semi is officially forgiven.
Don't let him off too easy. Two more wins and he's definitely forgiven!!!

Three RWC medals is enough to redeem anyone.

@Tim lots to look at there. But fuck you for subjecting me to that soundtrack.
Very notable is Aki refusing to shake hands with or even acknowledge any All Blacks. Classy team all around.

Looked like Aki was so gutted, the ABs boys took the time to console him. As for Sexton, looks like he mouthed off after seeing Rieko either giving thumbs up to the crowd before he shook hands, or for some other imagined offence. What a fluffybunny

Look at my profile pic, he has plenty of money in the bank for that lineout steal vs the Boks in 2015…

@Daffy-Jaffy what the fuck is this?
Screams I had to come up with a graph to justify my shit take that the internet is rightfully laughing at me about. What's the measurement on the y axis? How is it a bloke that can't ruck somehow turns in a fucking masterclass with an improvement of 5.5% ?
You'd think Derek would have the common decency and awareness to fade off into obscurity. Or at least the producer should've said "don't come in, we'll call you".

I have seen 4th form maths projects with a greater level of statistical analysis. No wonder most Irish "rugby fans" have no fucking clue
