MOS DEF THE ECSTATIC THE COLI FULL
A friend tells me it was fabulous to watch the English Premier League football kick off this weekend before full and vibrant houses.Ħ) When did the Wallabies become so stupid? They were undone by an intercept try in the first test, and still threw long, flat Hail Mary passes which led to two more disasters in the second. I also tried a couple of near vacant NRL games and couldn’t get through them. It’s hard to follow just where these rugby tests will be played, or even if they will be played. Nothing seems real – competitions feel contrived, on hold. They have a few holes in their operation, but that’s the biggest by far.ĥ) Pandemic Era Sports Fatigue. The blokes they are putting out at the moment are NPC level. Rassie Erasmus was appointed Springboks coach in early 2018 and won the World Cup in style about 18 months later.Ĥ) The Wallabies will never consistently challenge the best until they find world-class locks. Quick-hit missions can actually be very successful. There is no need to rush or fear the need for a change. They’ll have a better idea then of whether Foster is up to the job, which is why he only got a two-year contract in the first place. There is a good reason why New Zealand Rugby should wait until the end of the season. And incumbent players often say they will back a coach – what else can they say? Those sorts of claims are pretty worthless unless players want to publicly put their name to them. This was accompanied by a suggestion that the supposed impasse was unsettling senior All Blacks. But it will mean the ‘Boks are battle hardened in a way the All Blacks won’t be after playing the wan and frivolous Wallabies.ģ) There was a little media flurry last week, aiming to get All Blacks coach Ian Foster an extended contract through to the 2023 World Cup. Backs, in the traditional sense, were redundant. The game devolved into a battle for scrum penalties. It took rugby trench warfare to a distressingly terrible level.
MOS DEF THE ECSTATIC THE COLI SERIES
In other words, Barrett needs to accept he is no longer a No 10 starter when Mo’unga is fit.Ģ) The Springboks-Lions series produced the ugliest test rugby for a very long time. This is an old-fashioned view perhaps, but Mo’unga will get even better if he knows the No 10 jersey is absolutely his, and the team will also operate better with an established pivot. He was no super-sub anymore on Saturday night.Ĭonversely, Mo’unga – who had another superb game – is a rising world beater. Japan hasn’t improved Barrett – to my eye, his reactions have slowed. At his best, he was about the most exhilarating rugby player I’ve seen, even if he never totally nailed it at the highest test level. Life moves on, and the greatest days are gone for Barrett. It was always Mo’unga’s time to take over. Chris Rattue lists 11 observations from the All Blacks’ impressive win over the Wallabies at Eden Park.ġ) Well, the Richie Mo’unga-Beauden Barrett No 10 debate should be well and truly over.
