France doesn’t need a jumping lock at 5 when they have Woki or Flament at 4 and several line-out options in the back row.
Meafou's time: Giant Aussie's rise from overlooked NRC prodigy to France's next big thing, new captains for England and Ireland
“versus Ireland, he is a home winner only.”. Not true. But don’t let the facts spoil your narrative.
Eight crucial lessons Wallabies must learn from the RWC quarter-finalists
True, but the problem from an Irish point of view runs deeper, owing to this 8 QF = 8 losses record, and the feeling that this was a now or never opportunity gone missing
WORLD VIEW: ABs pluck 'astonishing win from depth of their souls' while Irish face 'four more years of choking jokes'
On the other hand, neutrals should support France to keep the french public on board until the final 😊
37 phases and OUT! Whitelock the hero as All Blacks win epic RWC QF to break Ireland's hearts again
Good one 👍

Have you thought of founding a club with Revok to share your respective obsessions ? Could be a good therapy

Correction, Fiji pulling off a miracle will result in 3 SH semi-finalists 😊

No, France is current #2, Boks are #3
Parkes Life: The joke's on us - could it be that World Rugby knew what they were doing all along?
As you may imagine, the subject has been discussed at some length in the French media. My understanding is that, once the broken bone has consolidated to a satisfactory extent – which precisely was the basis the green light given on monday by the renowned specialist who did the surgery – it is actually more resistant than before thanks to the two titanium plates. So the prevailing view in France seems to be that the real problem with selecting Dupont (which by the way has not been decided yet) is more on the psychological side, i.e. a reluctance to fully commit into contacts. I would hope that the player himself and the staff will be reasonable enough to avoid unnecessary risks when making the final decision.

I would suggest, however, that Ben O’keefe already knows that Dupont suffered a facial injury and doesn’t need reminding that contact to the head may result in a red card
Parkes Life: The joke's on us - could it be that World Rugby knew what they were doing all along?
As always, it’s a bad idea to base your understanding of the situation on some random headline. There was no warning given, Alldritt was asked in a press conference whether he feared that Dupont might deliberately targeted by the Boks to injure him. His answer was that he didn’t believe that would happen, and that it would make little sense for the Boks to do that at the cost of a red card.
Parkes Life: The joke's on us - could it be that World Rugby knew what they were doing all along?
No, because selection of NH teams would at first sight be consistent with (I) pool games standings (ii) world rankings (iii) current RWC win rates (IV) current year win rates (vi) odds with the bookies. In other words the burden of the proof would be different. So my question was, are those predictions based on something other than the reluctance to accept that dominance has shifted northward – and he did répond brilliantly. I hope that clarifies my point.

Give it a rest mate, let’s really bad for your health. Go watch Craig Joubert’s masterpiece instead, it may lower your blood pressure

No SH bias at all in your insightful comments, I see

More like 45%, I think.
17 STRAIGHT! Ireland smash Scotland to set up quarter-final vs All Blacks, sweat on Aussie Mack
That’s a big if, though.

Flat earthers also claim there’s no real evidence the earth is round. That’s based on a wrong notion of what the appropriate evidence standard should be like.
SPIRO ZAVOS: Eddie Jones' coaching flaw is his belief that rugby is the same game as league
So if we are to disregard red cards and yellow cards, should we also adjust the scoreline by discounting penalty kicks? Should we also neutralize tries scored as a result of a scrum following a knock on? After all, all of of those are the consequences of mistakes made by one team (leaving aside officiating mistakes, obviously).
Mamma Mia! All Blacks almost hit a ton against Italy to make World Cup statement as Smith scores hat-trick
AB’s ability to ruthlessly punish a weaker side is still as impressive as ever. No other side in the world can do that.

This reminds me of the Republicans’ favorite line after another school shooting : ” Now is not the time to discuss gun control”.
Good, the bad, the Eddie: Rats and possums, Hoops 'like the ex being MC at your wedding' and an orgy of apologies
Jones didn’t become a bad coach overnight, it took 4 years. The blissful ignorance of what he did with England after the 2019 RWC is truly amazing. Talk about burying your head in the sand!
Eddie Jones should be celebrated not booed: Why the worst thing RA could do is sack the Wallabies coach
Thanks

Who is JD ?

He played for 80 minutes in last week-end thrashing of Ulster at Ravenhill in the Champions Cup, and was probably the second best player on the field next to man-of-the match Dupont. He was also Toulouse’s best tackler on the day.
