Some days that is great others you really need the whole pack.

In International rugby is more the latter.
Spot on again.
You lot Simmonds bashing again! :smt015
He played really well last night in my opinion.
Massive workrate and high energy that England could do with a bit of, and another player with the ability to play through the centres when Manu isn't available to truck it up for them.
He isn't the biggest but that doesn't matter if you play in the right areas.

Depends how you want to play.
I reckon if Simmonds were Australian then he'd probably be an international.
Simmonds isn't a Kieran Read but then neither is Vunipola.

I think you could be right, similar style of player to Sean McMahon (now with Suntory Sungoliath).

Interested to see Wasps Vs Bath (25/4/21) at 3:00 pm (with half an eye on Sarries Vs Ealing , however) - just to see which versions of the respective sides actually turn up.Both are capable of going from the sublime to the ridiculous in terms of performance in the blink of an eye.
For me, with regard to resilience and mindset , Wasps in particular have much to prove and the habits that they are seemingly falling into are hard to break.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Virtual rugby with Posh Richard. Bath v Wasps today. Difficult to know which of these I dislike the most. It's like tripe and onions v semolina pudding!
