All jokes aside, I've always enjoyed Stuart Barnes as a pundit ... and now I think I enjoy him even more.
Literally has wound up the whole of Wales!!

Barnes just confirming his bitterness and outdatedness.
Made countless digs at Warburton during his career - most notably being Gatland's pet for the Lions - and almost every time Warburton did his talking on the pitch and proved Barnes oh so wrong.
Barnes obviously recognises a decent man, pity he couldn't accept he was wrong and be one.

@mikethesnow Odd isn’t it? For such a positive player he is one of the most negative human beings.

I'm seeing rumours that Eddie has gone completely bonkers and has John Mitchell lined up as an England assistant.
I look forward to that entertainment and addition to England's journey.@crucial said in NH International Rugby:

That highlights all the fears I have.
-
so MItchell is now English...IIRC his teams were never that great defensively, always decent attacking.
-
@booboo Robbie for the trifecta?
-
So chop a few office and grass roots staff for good ol' Mitch?
"If they believe John Mitchell is a better defence coach than me then good luck to them," Sean Edwards soon to be ex Wales defence coach. Touche!
-
Mitchell seems to give off the vibe (to most NZ fans of a certain age) that he's faking it.
What are the Bulls like on defence?
I've been to https://sanzarrugby.com/superrugby/competition-stats/ but they are a pretty hopelessly incomprehensive set of stats.The most relevant set of stats I could get from there to assess team defence is Team Tackle % won. Where Bulls are 14th out of 15 in the comp.
There's not even a category in that hopeless site for tries conceded!
