Of course forwards are more important than backs.

A perfect example of “ Awful analysis, incorrect conclusions, zero insight. Wrong about pretty much everything”

Backs are constantly saving lazy forwards, score the points and more importantly get the good looking women.

Bollocks, us men give you girls the ball only to see you knock it on at the first opportunity. However, we keep doing it because we like to scrum.

oh the oldest debate in the book, you're both wrong of course, scrum halves are the coolest, most important people on the pitch and in the bar, the rest of you do as you're told.

I’m oscillating between wanting the English to lose - because, well… - and wanting the ABs to lose because it’ll give them some learnings.

Another chance to be a broken record about our idiotic media

"The 25 year old's return sees Wallace Sititi demoted to the bench"

Sititi has NOT been demoted. Repeat, NOT demoted, he has been put on the bench because he is an absolute fucking weapon for us at the back end of the game. You know, the part of the game where matches are won and lost? If he had been DEMOTED as this absurd article suggests, we wouldn't be fucking trusting him with winning us the game at the end would we!!

Jesus H Christ when will these idiots learn that modern rugby is a 23 man game?!?

100%.

They also refer to Parker as having been "dropped" when in reality the thinking was probably more along the lines of giving him some rest so that he would be 100% energized for the England match.

They are probably just looking for engagement and headlines but the scarier thought is that they might actually be that stupid.

Fair. Didn’t expect you to take me up on it. What shall we do for the other 59 minutes?

I’ll stop derailing the thread now

You've set yourself up for a bloody happy day from the sounds of things.

This English side seems much less unbearable than those of the past but I might lose my shit if Stephen Jones gets thawed out to write an article.

We've had the "Losing Aura" article, any sign of "Haka Must be Banned" story?

Don't particularly like it.

Never change, Kruse. Sobriety is seriously over-rated.

Hmmm... I'm more and more often having to go read my own posts to figure out what the hell people are replying to.
Time to self-reflect? Or have a midday beer? Hmmm....

@booboo maybe cos England will win,.they dont need to talk about taking the plucky Kiwis silly little dance away?

@Kruse every beer is a midday beer to @Kruse

TSF is essentially an island of rugby reason in a sea of idiots

Or the very definition of groupthink::
"a psychological phenomenon where the desire for harmony and conformity in a group leads to irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcomes."

That falls down on TSF with the "harmony and conformity" bit though. "You can all go fuck yourselves because I disagree" tends to hold more sway around here.
