Atkinson is going to realise very quickly he has zero place in that 12 jersey after Menoncello gets him 1v1 for the first time

If actually watch back Aus under Rennie it’s really just him relying on the older players fading out having a bit more in them and playing athletic players. Very little philosophy of multi phase vision or kicking or defensive system. Works for AB’s who don’t want to be coached

Damn insanely bad hire. Rennie an old boy of the old guard was probably just happy with the job and cool with having no power to change anything. Joseph who is a great coach probably expressed a vision for changes and NZRU is famously biggest shares of cunts in rugby

Alex Coles is the new Courtney Lawes in the same way I’m the new Jesus Christ

By end of next World Cup the England win will be a net negative. It allowed Farrell keep doing same hit and change nothing when England are awful and just a good matchup for us. This current squad cannot get close to Boks or AB’s which is what will happen again

Unbelievably disappointing Only players in there actually getting a proper first chance in test rugby is Doak and Stewart and Doak is fucking shite. No Edogbo, Bryn Ward, Gleeson in the pack And no Postelwaithe, Farell or pleothra of younger better winger options? Kill me

So we’re getting O’Toole Kelleher Furlong Beirne Ryan Conan Timoney Doris JGP Crowley Stockdale McCloskey Ringrose Balacoune Osborne Stewart Milne Clarkson McCarthy VDF Doak Prendergast/Frawley Farrell

Nothing like the classic Farrell tactic of “rotating” vs weaker teams with 29+ year olds and then giving a younger player debuts vs best teams in the world who would win regardless and going “Ah look this young guy was shit and why we got dominated” he’s gone forever

Can’t think of a player who deserves to play for Ireland less than Jacob Stockdale. Ability wise he is miles of it Add on to that fact is that he shows zero heart and plays like a coward. Surely Daly, Kenny, Ward, Bolton have earned a chance

Why? Stockdale got his chance AGAIN for hundred time and was proven to not have improved on tackling or high balls in the slightest plus he’s hardly you. Move on

Switch up the backs but keep me he same 13 forwards who got absolutely manhandled against Ireland. Borthwick is by all means a bad coach

That’s actually awful

They need to simply need to do what everyone does. Separate 12&13. They are so different. A HUGE reason why England cannot produce good centers is cause they cannot define what they are supposed to do, too much switching back and forth. AB’s had same issue at 12 before Jordie

Stop playing power ball carriers at 13 and distributors at 12 maybe when literally EVERYONE else uses 12 as a go forward power carrier as primary threat and 13 is more fast twitch hybrid winger style with good defense. Didn’t work with Farrel-Tuilagi and won’t work with this

Robbie Henshaw joining up with the Irish squad is actually criminal negligence from Farrell. HE IS AWFUL. At both 12 and 13 and he’s been super injury prone. What does Jude Postelwaithe or Cathal Forde have to do? Both were good in URC at the weekend

Hahah Daly and Slade and JVP starting for England. Genuinely think Benetton might beat them let alone Italy

Advantage wales

Great news. Start making Gunne the backup to JGP NOW

Damn, that’s sad. Can guarantee the new trophy will be an over designed AI slop mess trophy

Winless in last 12 games vs Ireland btw
