One week the chat is the need to de-power the scrum, next week it’s the maul, next week it’s the ruck, key fundamentals that makes our game truly unique…do we change to suit a style/some or do we embrace what is uniquely rugby union? I vote the later, loved tonight’s match…🤷🏾‍♂️

Scrum discussion: 🗣 "By giving a penalty where you can take 3 points or kick for touch and maul, you are incentivising scrummaging to get the penalty!" 🗣 "World Rugby have to make a decision. Do we want the scrum to be the focal point of our game?" #ENGvRSA #RWC2023

Handre Pollard has never been the best 10 in the world in *any* year of his international career. Perhaps 2014, his first, he could have been top three. Most years he hasn’t been top five. Excellent goal kicking doesn’t make him a top 10. The best 10 in each year: 2014: Johnny…

The funniest thing about today was not needing to check for updates on the Scotland vs England match on the way back from Aviva Stadium…the roars from the packed pubs on the way back told us Scotland were doing very well!

Key take away from RWC is that rugby union needs to seriously address 3 issues: How to respect referee decisions. How to win with humility. How to lose with dignity. Most people in real life are kind of good with this but on social media everyone has to be a dickhead?

Thank you for the messages of support. Thank you also for the hate mail. We are all passionate about our team 🇼🇸 and we weren’t good enough. Some people will never know the sacrifice. But that’s ok. I know why I’m doing this. We will continue to fight. Alofa atu

Venue for my test debut against the All Blacks in 1997, all I remember is scoring the first try and running back past half way with all the boys yelling “we are going to win”…next minute 71-5! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

@RugbyPhilBB 1 professional team that we have waited 30+ years for, 30-35 professional places per season, an abundance of talent that we can not contract…I make no apologies about protecting our pathways to our national team, we worked so hard to build them.
