    Disagree. BB was shattered by the time of November tests last year. He played too much Rugby last year.

    I am glad that the world's best player is having his schedule managed to give him the best possible chance to shine in the RWC knockouts.

    Totally agree. He's been overused by the Canes for a few years now. Only when you see him live do you appreciate how much ground he covers in a game. His form may fluctuate but his effort and commitment can never be faulted. An extended period of rest, even if due to injury, is good for the ABs later on in the year.

    Ok so to be fair, who's form and commitment to the ABs do you fault and why?

                      Disagree. BB was shattered by the time of November tests last year. He played too much Rugby last year.

                      I am glad that the world's best player is having his schedule managed to give him the best possible chance to shine in the RWC knockouts.

                      Totally agree. He's been overused by the Canes for a few years now. Only when you see him live do you appreciate how much ground he covers in a game. His form may fluctuate but his effort and commitment can never be faulted. An extended period of rest, even if due to injury, is good for the ABs later on in the year.

                      Ok so to be fair, who's form and commitment to the ABs do you fault and why?

                      Extend middle finger.

                      Andrew Merhtens hasn't played for the ABs in years.

                      I was merely telling Bones the Troll to go f himself. To think I nearly gave myself to him.

                      Troll? I was quite interested to hear.

                      Dammit Bones it wasn't a dig against any other player. God I dodged a bullet.

                            If we're talking about Super Rugby, which @Rancid-Schnitzel was, then there's a pretty long list of players that don't have Beauden's commitment.

                              Disagree. BB was shattered by the time of November tests last year. He played too much Rugby last year.

                              I am glad that the world's best player is having his schedule managed to give him the best possible chance to shine in the RWC knockouts.

                              Totally agree. He's been overused by the Canes for a few years now. Only when you see him live do you appreciate how much ground he covers in a game. His form may fluctuate but his effort and commitment can never be faulted. An extended period of rest, even if due to injury, is good for the ABs later on in the year.

                              Ok so to be fair, who's form and commitment to the ABs do you fault and why?

                              Extend middle finger.

                              Andrew Merhtens hasn't played for the ABs in years.

                              I was merely telling Bones the Troll to go f himself. To think I nearly gave myself to him.

                              Troll? I was quite interested to hear.

                              Dammit Bones it wasn't a dig against any other player. God I dodged a bullet.

                              Oh ok, I thought you were saying others don't have his commitment so I was interested to see who.

                              Vaea Fifita said he didn't like hitting rucks. That's not showing much commitment.

                              to be fair, he said:
                              "I like six because I can use my athleticism to do what I can do on the outside, rather than just stay tight and do the hard work like running into a brick wall and getting your body tired. Then you can't do anything"

                              It's pointing out there's a tradeoff between the tight work, and getting wide. I'm pretty relaxed about his effort and commitment in the Black Jersey

                                  @ACT-Crusader BB won the World Rugby Player of the Year award in 2016 and 2017, only the second player to win the award in back-to-back years. He was nominated in 2018 too. Some of the skills below aren't bad:

                                    @sparky 2016 - yes. There was no way he was even the best player in the ABs in 2017 let alone the world.

                                      @Nepia It's hard to take the award seriously when they get it wrong half the time. Sometimes the actual best doesn't even get nominated, like Nonu in 2015.
