    It's just so fucking lazy. Come in with a pre-prepared question which he answers in his initial comments, but go ahead and ask it anyway. Sack these useless fluffybunnies and employ someone who gives a shit.

        my view is Jason comes across as a bit of a pillock. He could ahev said we are confident he will be fit for the SA series instead of trying to be smart

        The public wnat to know more adn the coaches should give it to them via the media instead of trying to be a smartarse. And pissing journalists of when it really wasn't needed

              Try looking at it with the presumption the public and journalists are smart enough to grasp that if he's only out for the two tests against Argentina, what would that mean for the South African Tests which come after those two weeks?

              Or put another way; if I have two apples and take away two apples...

                All he had to say is we are confident he will be back for SA.

                Or even say a little about the issue and providng some more information on a key player. Who has been out for most of the year so far

                Instead he carried on like a fool. Trying to win points at the expense of people you want on your side. You know to help promote rugby in this country

                  @Winger i feel like we've watched two different clips

                  the one i see has Ryan volunteering from the start, ie hiding nothing or waiting to be asked, telling them how long SB is out for (inferring the game he will be back for) and who is taking his responsibilities.....and then immediately being asked multiple times how long SB is out for.......

                    At meeting etc Ive been asked some really dumb questions. Its tempting to do what Jason did. I never did. I want people on my side. Not to piss them off. And I respect thast they ahev the decency to sort of listen and at least ask a question. In other word they are interetsed and want to know more

                    Someone should have a word to Jason.

                      @Winger ok, i guess i just dont understand....he literally kept answering their questions, didn't say "im not answering that again" or anything of the sort

                      they ask if hes back for SA, he says yes, hes only out for two weeks

                      this is a weird hill to die on

                                I agree. I think there may have been an element of them thinking he was being economical with the truth and they were fishing, badly, for further information.

                                  TBF, it wasnt a stupid question, it was the subsequent repeatings of the same question and then asking the same question in a different way.

                                  Just shows either they didnt listen, or they think he is bullshitting.

                                  I agree. I think there may have been an element of them thinking he was being economical with the truth and they were fishing, badly, for further information.

                                  Yeah they came across bad but I think they were checking if it was a minimum of two weeks or an exact amount. Could be a funny press conference if he’s out for longer

                                    @Winger ok, i guess i just dont understand....he literally kept answering their questions, didn't say "im not answering that again" or anything of the sort

                                    they ask if hes back for SA, he says yes, hes only out for two weeks

                                    this is a weird hill to die on

                                      No issue with the way Ryan handled those questions, he covered off everything in the first statement.

                                      Journos need to be better at their job and come up with questions that prompt Ryan to respond with something remotely interesting for us as consumers of this content e.g. is Ardie really 6'2?

                                        Ben Smith should have played in the 2019 Semi

                                          It was a very Bill Bellicheck way to address the media. I chuckled.
