Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Furbank has been very good both sides of the ball for Saints so does deserve some game time. He’s plays either 10 or 15, don’t think he’s played much, if at all on the wing

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Google says Daly is 178cm which is the same as me. And no that’s not short generally but is in relation to rugby.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:38 pmWho’s your second midget both Daley and Freeman are 6ft plusDeadlyDunc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:32 pm Doesn’t make sense to me - it’s pretty obvious what Scotland will do early doors and in particular if it’s wet.

I’ll take someone saying I’m 6ft plus and run with it!

I know we take what the Ruck says with a pinch of salt, but even they and their readers think it is mad

British and Irish Lions say 179cm which I ld say is about right so we’ll have to agree to disagreeRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:47 pmWiki says 183 cm which I think is more accurateDeadlyDunc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:46 pmGoogle says Daly is 178cm which is the same as me.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:38 pm

EDIT - and Sarries website says 178
Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
A FB's height is only the beginning; what makes him stand out is the ability to get off the ground and compete. Brown and Steward can do it, Dale can't!
Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Sorry! Daly.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Are we sure Freddie isn't injured? He had been carrying an arm/shoulder injury in the run up to the 6N?
Furbank is a capable full back, it's the continued selection of Daly on the wing that worries me. They will just send Van De Merve down his channel and be waved by or a feeble attempt at a tackle when he's gone past.

The official story is he’s fit. I agree though what post game photos I’ve seen of Freddie sans shirt he’s is heavily strapped shoulder upper arm areamol2 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 5:02 pm Are we sure Freddie isn't injured? He had been carrying an arm/shoulder injury in the run up to the 6N?

Was that the shoulder he injured right at the beginning of a game? Was it Saracens?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
