Can't remember the last time I saw a 6 2 split on the bench for the ABs. Does Roigard cover any other position than 9?

Is there really anything to gain for the ABs in playing this?

Edit: apart from cash

Dunno, but Dan Carter has a new cologne out and has done a book. He is such a cosplay metrosexual.

I'm just happy to be able to watch the game in the middle of the afternoon, specially as I have the day off. Might even go for a mid avo bevy.

Nah. Just fucking around on the ground. And offside. About a penalty a minute at the moment.

No. This was a dumb idea and now it’s a disaster.

How dumb is he? In this current climate, during a warm up non-competition match, charge in off your feet leading with a shoulder. Good option champ.

Oh. Ffs, and I’ve spent the last week or so suggesting English players are too dense to be able to control themselves in a warm up on the English board.
