So if we take the current lossies, and we add Marx to hooker,do we have to change one of the loosies?

You need to adjust the roles they play so that they supplement each other. You can't have 8 fetchers on defence and the same 8 guys all staying out of the rucks waiting to be ball carriers on attack.

This is the same reason people are questioning Siya's form, but he is doing the gruntwork and not anything flashy. You need that.
 
Japan has won Georgia, 28-0. Good win, but many mental issues for next year's World Cup hosts. 2nd game in a row they only started playing in the 2nd half.

There are bad calls and then there's actively assisting one team... Wouldn't even look at the play again. I'd say aberration but NZ benefit, so just your average Saturday.
 
Not watching live but this French line out at 7.54 adjudged not be straight?

It's going to be interesting to see the Bokke play the All Blacks. The All Blacks remain damn good.

Yeah, depends on if we get a truly neutral ref or not. Everything has to basically go your way to beat the AB's. That includes your share of the 50/50 calls. French have been robbed 3 weeks in a row now, of a closer contest! Would they have beaten the AB's? Unlikely but it should have been a lot tighter a series for them.

As for the Boks, difficult to access the true strength of this English side. They been on a downwards trajectory for some time now so how difficult are they to beat really?

I remember last year this time getting carried away with the Boks after they hammered the hapless French. There were lot's of back slapping and high fives back then too, but after that, the season went completely pear shaped! Personally don't believe this year will be any different. Hope I'm wrong... Really hope I'm wrong....

Nothing interesting about it. We are lambs being led to slaughter. This might just be the year I give up on the Boks as well. And that saddens me, deeply.

Oi, I'm trying to be positive here. I actually stopped watching rugby for a year and only came back end of last year. I'm hoping things will improve.
