@notwillyoung86@jaredwright17 Easy. Stephen Donald as 3rd choice 10 kicked the winning penalty at RWC 2011.
How many Irish, Welsh, Italian, or Scottish first choice 10s have done that?
Beaver is right.
As 3rd choice first five, he kicked a RWC winning penalty.
None or the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Italian first choice 10s have done that.
URC = VERY LOW LOW LEVEL LEAGUE
Stephen Donald and Jeff Wilson expect Jordie Barrett to return to New Zealand from Leinster "underdone" having played in the "very, very low level" Vodacom URC. https://t.co/rgoB8CG2Af
@jaredwright17@bensmithrugby and I just chatted amongst ourselves.
If Nienaber can teach Ioane to carry the ball in the correct hand, instead of the schoolboy error he made in the final, then this would be a net win. We don't think Ioane is too aware of the game plans in any event.
@scrumming_ten We've disagreed on everything, but we can agree on India's win at the CT being a farce.
At least the All Blacks have won all their world titles without any cheating or rigging of tournaments!
The ONLY reason Antony Dupont is known about in New Zealand is because his name is easy to pronounce.
Same reason my favourite French actor is Jean Reno.
And favourite French Left Wing is Louis Billy Berry.
Everyone having a go at Stephen Donald (GOAT 3rd choice 10) for not knowing the French players.
If they had normal English surnames like the All Black players, then it wouldn't be a problem.
The casual rugby fans here are (generally speaking) only aware of New Zealand players, and by extension some Aussie & RSA. In recent years Ireland, due to the rivalry. Broadcast times for Europe don’t suit, resulting in lack of cut through and exposure. No Top 14 here, so how would he know new French players? Dupont won’t even come down.
Shag is right. The All Blacks WERE robbed of the final.
If you watch the replays, you will see Richie and Jordie's kicks go over, but the cheat AR's don't raise their flags.
I'm glad someone finally had the cahones to stand up to Big Rugby.
@bensmithrugby Absolutely fuming at this post.
One of my jackass friends got hold of my phone. To think I would want even 1 Springbok in the dream team is laughable.
@JamieWall2 is this your doing?
