One can only hope the abs stick with the vastly overated Conrad Smith and the slowing up fat boy Nonu. (Keep fat boy weepooo in the side as well please)
I noted a season or so ago the real quality of Robbie Fruean and how he was being ignored. It is clear the abs need sbw and Fruean as their centers. Kahu is not bad either .
Long live Conrad! and Nonu and fat boy weepu!
Overated Smith? You clearly know nothing about centre play do you? SBW, the lad that has been found out and drops every second ball?
Isn't your tip for Bok centre being unceremoniously shunted back to the wing? Pot kettle black n'all that Dave
Fruean is miles ahead of a plodder like Conrad dave - new coach will not be as dumb as to keep on with Smith surely! To partner him its out of Kahui and SBW. Nonu needs to up his game to keep his place.
Poooie I also thought JP was doing well at center so its two kettles on the same page actually. How about Jordan at wing?
I prefer the idea of a specialist centre at centre, interested to see Dave's new pick at centre and see if defence stats down the centre channel improve, sounds like he's a decent runner.
Yes very dangerous runner so it will be very interesting to see Jordan have a full go and get really tested..
Let me guess poooooie, your choice at 13 would be Joubert?
At the moment Dave - it would be Jean, followed by De Jong, then Eberhson, then Frans...daylight...then JP
I thought as much - good thing its not up to you then - thank the pope
Let me know how your JP tip comes along...
Certainly more invetsment in JP than old man Jean
Says...well, pretty much only you.
You reckon - lets see its you Moz and who else touting for Jean at 13
Well I'll give you the tip, it ain't gonna be a converted winger who misses more tackles than he makes.
Name a single tackle he missed on his opposite number
Right let me write this little exert from "Dave's guide to centre play" rule no 1: during the course of a game an outside centre must only tackle another outside centre and must never tackle any other player without the number 13 on his back.
Probably explains his horrific stats.
Dave if a team is playing drift defence from set pieces then there's so not a lot of chance of JP ever tackling his opposite number. And from phase play tell me how often do you see centres marking each other - here's the thing Dave centres are expected to tackle other players on the field outside of centres, JP fails at this more than he succeeds, deal with it.
You miss my point dingbat..........whether its the 13, 12 or 14 one on one in structured backline play - JP has not missed those tackles - they types of tackles we would judge him on - as to whether he makes the grade defensively as a 13.............the tackles he has missed have been in broken play, never structured one on one stuff. There is no excuse for those misses - but as a 13 defensively in his aligment as a centre he was fine - thats my point, but chances are thats gone straight over the top of your head??
"Name a single tackle he missed on his opposite number"
*Sigh* you make a shit point and call me a dingbat for interpreting it as you wrote it.
So we should only judge centres defensive abilities from set pieces, got it...you've never played rugby have you Dave.
Yes defensivley for if we went with those stats we would have to conclude Conrad Smith was not up to test rugby either - wake up man.
Have I played rugby - bet at a higher level than you
Maybe, except we've seen Conrad perform at centre at international level - how did JP get on in his last test at centre?
"Have I played rugby - bet at a higher level than you"
Dave - only a man with a very small penis would make a claim like that.
You asked the question wanker and we are not talking about penis size - dont ask the question if you dont want any answers? Lets start with Craven Week, did you play at that level at school?
Holy shit!! You played Craven week?? Legend - if I went to school in SA maybe I'd be impressed by that....but if that's the level that is supposed to leave me awestruck then I'm sorry to disappoint Dave - and the fact you feel the need to boast about it on an anonymous forum only reinforces your whole 'tiny dick' thing you've got going on.
Pooh pooh are you stupid? Was it not you who questioned my playing the game huh? The answer has obviously ticked your little box. Where did I say Craven week was the measure - I said lets start there, we could always have stretched further back and pushed each age group level, but I thought it best we cut to the chase.
If you want to throw accusations my way, be prepared to take the answers. Nothing to boast about at all, you questioned me playing I answered with a simple assertion that chances are I played at a higher level than you did, if you played at all given how rugby naive you are. Of course I could be lying, would be easy enough on here.
Here's some advice for the future, shut the fuck up if you dont like the answers coming your way.
I asked if you've played the game, a yes would've done, you felt compelled to turn it into a cock measuring compeition " bet at a higher level than you".
Frankly it comes across, quite needy. I hope you find the ego boost you're clearly looking for on this board. Congratulations on Craven week btw dude, living the dream man.
Ha ha needy on a messageboard good one. Will you hold my hand please - I need you?
Challenge my rugby playing credentials and you'll get the same answer and more. As for Craven Week, like I said that was only the start - its not the measure by any stretch but you failed to pick up on that as well, shock, shock.
As for my dick size, well hey its tiny - I'm flawed!!
Well please do enlighten me of your illustrious playing career then Dave - starting with Craven week...help me spot where it all went so wrong for you.
Who said it went wrong
I do, clearly someone has failed you somewhere along the way.
or possibly I failed myself - all those insecurities and neediness!!!
Good Dave, admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it.
Thanks buddy you've been a help - shoulder to cry on and all that!
You're welcome - happy to help.
Bean Brain you muppet , the Kiwis are absolutely spoiled for choice in every position. Never heard of Kahu though but the Chiefs are very strong in the centres if it's Kahui you were trying and failing so abysmally to spell. Maybe you should stick to four letter words buddy. I can think of a few choice ones for you myself if you need a little literacy lesson.
