We should probably save any match commentary to the match thread. I’ll set something up over there.

Boston will be a handfull next year. League scares me with him. He looks like someone they’d love.

Been good to see Leahy in the Centres where he was through School, Gen Blue, Aus 18s. Has been on the Wing in all senior footy so far.

Force have a good trio with O’Donnell, Leahy and Fakafunua all in the system there.
Those 3 were the pick of the backs this tournament. Up front Jack Barrett.

Someone should tell this guy to stop making this kind of videos:

They would have seen plenty in person. Especially at the rep games when you see every sides Recruitment teams in the crowd.

The videos are a bit of fun. Probably get more attention from French & Japanese Rugby through these than League.

Hopefully he’s loving the Force and we get to see him long into the future.

As a country we have no problems producing enough backs, everyone wants to score tries and be the pretty boy.
It’s the undervaluing of the 1-8 that we have done so badly for 25 years. The backs get the higher contracts young, they do less hard work and get most of the glory as we see here time and again.

That's probably as good as we could hope for right?

Italy are no joke anymore having beaten the French and lost to Ireland by 1 point in the 6 nations but being confident and hoping we are 2/2 going into the Ireland game we should know what we need. Still hate the structure of the comp and wish it would expand to a QF model.

I know it creates a more even Trophy comp below but 1 off game can cost a team the tournament currently.

Yeah, Georgia first up is ideal to give us some chance to build into the tournament and hopefully have Italy and Ireland leave each other a bit worse for wear.

Neither are Georgia to be honest. They've proven that if they turn up that they've been able to stay competitive with any of the 6Ns U20s squads in recent years. And I can see them targeting this game.
