@mn5 yes, i was actually really hoping the landers would pick up Fabian Holland (6'8" and 120kg and only 19), give him a chance to fast track
He only turned 19 last month. Best not to rush him - wider training group sounds ideal.

yeah, look, fair enough, not starting a campaign to force him into a squad or anything, just figure he's had an NPC season (off the bench admittedly) and looked good so i dont think it would have been hugely out of left field. sometimes i wonder if we've gone too far the other way from when we use to rush players and they dont get their shots until the mid 20's and they may already have certain traits that are hard to coach.
was thinking a super season on the bench and then NPC next year starting etc...progression

I wondered how NZ produced such a big lock.
Then I saw he is Dutch. -

Then I saw he is Dutch.Sausage cheese and beer seem to be the ideal rugby forward diet?

Based on that logic I should be about 9 feet tall

Bidwell tees off.
It's a bit fucking late mate, you and your buddies in the media are half of the problem here.

and so should Belgians! I don't remember them being as tall as the Dutch but I don't think Belgian Beer Goggles make people look any taller either...

You know it's grim when you start agreeing with Bidwell.

Bidwell:
Who’s actively challenging the man or the people who employed him? Who’s calling out all this cobblers about lessons? Who’s getting a fair hearing when they suggest Foster should be sacked now??
The fucking fern have, for two bloody years!

He does have another good point that we are exporting some very good coaches. But where do they put them?
Hurricanes! (Quiet in the cheap seats!) -
Pot calling the kettle black here. Bidnowell has a long sequence of click bait articles with no commonsense at all and now he is suddenly the messiah of rugby journalism. I wonder if the coaches of South Africa France and England are getting as much grief for losing so many test matches this year. Each match we lost we were well in with not too long to go and with a crucial player error or two lost the opportunity to go ahead or to close out. There are indeed plenty of work ons and maybe Razor might come into the coaching group to add some new ideas.
But have we all really sunk to this level of vitriol where we are all looking at every opportunity to put the knife in to the NZRU and ABs if we don't get our way. -

Probably but only 2 of that sides have played the ABs (who were briefly no.1) and both sides have beaten us.
The English no doubt console themselves with thinking we are too scared to face them.As to vitriol, I think it could get much, much, worse.

I'm just pleased we didn't play Scotland so we could keep one of our unbeaten records.

Wales must be gutted about missing a golden opportunity to beat us

I’m devastated. If the Argies can beat the ABs then the Scots woulda been a massive chance.

@mn5 He actually didn't say that. It's just your typical clickbait headline from the media.
This is what he said...
"I dream of a day when the Six Nations provides three or who knows maybe all four semi-finalists at a World Cup. Why not? It can happen."

Whatever, as if a Newspaper would make something up just to sell more copies.
