Has Tom Hooper ever played at flanker before or is this another Eddie Jones random position change?
He's primarily a flanker who can also comfortably cover lock. Perfectly reasonable selection.Has Tom Hooper ever played at flanker before or is this another Eddie Jones random position change?
Why would it be best for English rugby?Honestly I want Eddie Jones to win the TRC and RWC I feel it would be best for English rugby and Aus rugby.
Why would it be best for English rugby?
previously i would agree wholeheartedly....but rugby in Aus is in such a doldrum...it needs a chot in the arm heading into the world cup and then the next one...so leaning that way
Same here
T hooper provides another lineout option too, which helps to complement the skelton, m hooper, and Valetini selectionsHonestly I want Eddie Jones to win the TRC and RWC I feel it would be best for English rugby and Aus rugby.
With the squad he has that's prob the strongest fit pack Eddie has
Tom Hooper is the best 6 as a international option espcially v a SA pack
Could argue that Valetini at 6 with Samu at 8 is more dynamic but T.Hooper is a grafter.
Big questionable call for me is Vunivalu over Nawaqanitawase
Rennie had a 38% win rate. So, yeah, don't think losing some more will make us regret much.wallabies aren't dealing with their normal amount of injuries or unavailability, which isn't to say bell and tupou aren't significant losses, so eddie has a much better chance than rennie did of getting this team to win, plus he gets to benefit from the improvement in Australian rugby that rennie developed. So, part of me wants eddie to lose so they regret firing rennie.
Most of me just want to watch some rugby. If the teams suck that's ok, because then the all blacks are a better chance of beating them. If they are good then I'll see a good game.
Also, haven't seen RG for a while, so will be keen to see how he goes.
Vunivalu vs arendse will be interesting; but if a size difference there
nike couldn't make eagles home jerseys for like three months cause of the shade of green when they took over the NFL contract. They aren't very good with turn around when they take on new clients.What on Earth, why are we wearing generic Nike hoody's during our national anthem? Not a fan of that. No Springbok branding at all on it
But they've had this contract in place for a year now… it's not like it was signed two months agonike couldn't make eagles home jerseys for like three months cause of the shade of green when they took over the NFL contract. They aren't very good with turn around when they take on new clients.
nike signed on with NFL in 2010 to begin in 2012 . . . I don't really think it's an excuse just saying nike isn't good at itBut they've had this contract in place for a year now… it's not like it was signed two months ago
