In terms of retirements we're losing Johnny Sexton ( a young fells in his prime at 38! ) and Keith Earls . Peter O' Mahony will probably stay going until the end of the Six Nations 2024 . Then there's Conor Murray as well who has 4 World Cups under his belt , Iain Henderson as well has been knocking around for a while .
It's a whole new cycle , but with a difference this time in that a new Nations Championship is beginning in 2026 . All the top sides will get to play each other competitively a lot more often now .
The World Cup trophy has been the preserve of the Southern Hemisphere teams for all 10 World Cups now bar 2003 , and that really needs to change .
South Africa going with a 7/1 split on the bench . That's a huge risk in a World Cup final . Pollard being asked to play the whole match and he still has fitness doubts .
FFS Why is that not a forward pass by Argentina? TMO even looked at it, but not given.
On replay it's shown as definitely forward.
We need to involve Arundell in the 2nd half.
The inability to spot a forward pass made a game of it but equally made what followed a bit pointless. It wasn’t even close and to ignore it was farcical.
UEFA realised a long time ago that (a) no one cares (b) no one wants to be there.
Even the Olympic boxing don’t have a bronze medal fight now just give both semi finalists a bronze.
