G&G,
Long time no see.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any good rugby COACHING podcasts. Obviously there's plenty of great rugby podcast content (the G&G one included) with pretty decent analysis but I'm looking for something more specific with a higher lever on analysis. I feel like...
Tom Blake is the best athlete, Tuimalealiifano is probably the most natural and likely to make it for mine, and Sione is probably a little small but I'd love him to prove me wrong because he seems (from an outsiders perspective) to have a good head on his shoulders.
Sounds like a missed opportunity, usually I'd mate excuses but considering there's no rugby this weekend there's no excuse not to sent 4 or 5 boys to smile for photos.

With Alexander there already and Palmer probably coming back at some point in the future?
He plays 3 for the Reds does he not? I mean it's tinkering, but not TOO much.
Reread the post, it's a piece of lighthearted silliness made particularly obvious by my word choice. Stop being a knob.
Professionalism V the Amateur era is chalk and cheese. A more relevant example would be when Robbie Deans picked two tourists for the Spring Tour out of the Shute Shield, but...
