The game against the Dragons, with a final drop redemptive
said last month that Ruan Pienaar has adapted very well to the cold winds of Belfast and, consequently, the type game that is customary in the northern hemisphere. These last two weeks has continued with its particular concert that is becoming perhaps the most decisive player in the Magners League and accomplished expert in agonizing final unbalance. Last week, a great drop (of those with a parable that seems suspended, weightless, in the winter night) in the last minute allowed 25-23 defeat at Ravenhill about Dragons that had given much war (the Dragons are the 'team small' Welsh competition , but each party usually show very interesting details.) In vibrant final 5 minutes, managed to answer Pienaar (previously suggested by the scrum half so interesting is Paul Marshall) Advance and promising great drop of Tovey. This last day and was not about specific plays, but capitalized on the offensive play Pienaar getting all the points of his team in victory valuable Ulster 19-22 Glasgow, win that allows them to keep fighting to get into the playoffs (remember that also in the quarterfinals of the Heineken). First let here test video obtained by Pienaar, a move that worked in the leaves poke your arm through the tangle of muscles and legs of the Scottish defenders to pose the oval, and below you can see the exciting last 10 minutes party, in which Pienaar returns to prove that their shots with sticks, either in play or pause seated in the tea , are his specialty when you are fighting the passage of clock dying.

mythical each passing season, Brian O'Driscoll surely brings prestige items for safe canonization oval. In his many achievements has now also joined the trial record in the Six Nations, beating the head of the table to Ian Smith who had stamped the mark of 24 for over 70 years, nothing less. The figure is now defined momentarily 25 trials, the last of which was obtained on the last day before the Six Nations champions England, with some intrigue, since one conducted in the first half was offset by forward pass. Top
can see a video that compiles all of these trials achieved for BOD, offered in reverse temporal direction, from last to first. All records joined in a brilliantly choreographed insulting. In all versions, my favorite is that of O'Driscoll, 2004, with hair of the Germanic god of wind and cycling gloves, which was crowned with Gordon D'Arcy as the best media partner of the Northern Hemisphere.
Great Josh Lewsey, who was the linchpin of the whole of England is crowned as the 2003 world champion, wing or fullback in high speed and absolute dedication has surprisingly decided to return to playing rugby. Back to Wasps with which won everything at least until the end of the season. His last game for England was the semifinal of World Cup in France in 2007 (in 2008 was called by Johnson, but I think we did not play), in which just one trial allowed him to defeat the hosts and reach the final. With Wasps played their last meeting in April 2009, at Gloucester.
Lewsey was interviewed recently in Total Rugby (the video above is the interview) and there confessed that he had retired a little earlier than his body allowed him to prove intent was capable of doing other things. One of those goals are defined in an attempt to climb to the north face of Everest. Lewsey, military training, he was always determined to bring his body to the limit of endurance, taking the big challenges. However, the problems in this ascent which could not be topped (he endangers his life) should have been reflecting on whether to use the time that remains in good shape to return to his passion, vice oval.
VI Nations After reaching the analysis, focusing specifically on the champion, lost in sweet and sour sensations. There are controversial, but not always uniform, as compared to Johnson or Flood critics also there is a greater or lesser number of defenders. However, at one point there is consensus, or at least it seems so far: Shontayne Hape (pronounced 'Japi', not 'jéip') can not play for England. Former Rugby League player has had to face in this tournament with full confidence of Johnson, who has ranked as the holder in the 5 games played, and if I remember correctly has played every minute. The balance of such confidence has been very scarce, we could say that almost zero. Hape has done nothing, he can not tackle, defend bad the line is poorly understood and poorly with their partners in the center and more so with the media. To make matters worse, he can not face the rival line, Always drain the crash and its offensive capability is quite limited. Has not made a single game presentable, but what perpetrated against Ireland on Saturday has opened all eyes (except for Johnno, for now) on the desirability of substitution or even a lack of any future call. Options are in England to cover that position. To begin with, is his countryman (New Zealand) Riki Flutey, who has played with Johnson and who has returned from injury. Indeed, it has proven to be a player much more solvent (which was selected in 2009 for the Lions tour in South Africa is a prestigious seal to prove it.) More options: a player I like, South Africa Brad Barritt , relentless defense (is South African and therefore plate like a flanker), very seriously, and also not bad cuandole loose touch attack (uns weeks ago put a man drop to his victory Sarria Franklin's Garden). Unprecedented in the selection so far, it has played several games with the Saxons. I also believe that Simpson-Daniel, Turner Hall or Anthony Allen (Manu Tuilagi may not be still like to hold on the fifteenth day of the Rose), are likely more reliable than Hape. The legendary
Martin Corry has come to the fore these days to join criticism of Hape. Speaking appeared in the Guardian , Corry suggests another option I've raised before in this blog and Oval Ball: Wilko the great plays of 12 . No sense wasting the good form of Wilkinson, given that he has already played in that position. If Johnson prefers to rely on Flood to the open position would be a good decision to relocate to Wilko's first center. Another option would be reversed: Wilko Flood 10 and 12, as he also played in this position before (in Newcastle, when he was in the shadow of Wilko precisely, but I also remember a game selection.)
VI Nations 2011: England title without honor for Lomu
hitting lately I'm surprised to go in my predictions, but we must recognize that certain people, ability to follow predictable paths in the most erratic, make things easier. This is the case of Martin Johnson, mediocre coach Lievremont and De Villiers, an expert on recidivism unfortunate, and it is not just a potential drag on his own team. As in the two cases cited, it seems that only get their teams some success when they contradict the guidelines of the coach. And get a success is the cornerstone for this end by returning his people to the road to disaster. Yesterday Dublin again England has shown that his worst enemy chairing its bench. Ireland swept the field (24-8 , chronic BBC) as one might expect to see the lineup and the last game (the miserable and unjust victory against Scotland). Maybe they deserved the title after the first three days, but not the glory of the Grand Slam and Triple Crown, and nothing became clearer after the first 28 minutes of game with the score 14-0 in the Aviva Stadium, and a recital of insolvency, foolish penalties, lack of intensity, lack of ideas, inability to earn anything. Ireland was an unstoppable whirlwind that struck a timid English. With leaders like Flood and Easter can not wait any longer, and consequently the set of Martin Johnson did not deserve to win the Grand Slam, but have recovered a tournament (after the defeat of Wales in Paris) that ganabam since the World Cup success in 2003. A title is a title, but there is much to celebrate tonight (in the official photo, which left little deeper, put many long faces, and others, like Wilko and Flood, or even appear).
The first mistake of the match before leaving for the field: Flood. The opening of the Tigers has a serious defect, and is physically very weak, has a limited fund, so you can not have continuity in the demanding pace of international rugby, so that after three consecutive games remains empty as a puppet, not strength. To Scotland was an obvious and evident that this man was dead, and it was not advisable to continue granting tenure in Dublin, taking into account that the Irish were going to raise a tremendous physical battle. Wilkinson with a 100% physically and also very inspired lately, putting Flood was a suicide. Stating that I said before the game, and that's the result. Wilko brings then to do miracles, but it did not come, but the image of England improved with Wilko in charge (also with the moral leadership of another world champion, Thompson, who is clearly deserving of the title), as they regained lost aggressiveness and initiative in the game. Then combinations Wilko managed by Care and silent in the line 22, but at least you got to it and attack actions arose because in the first part was a desert which led England offensively. I am convinced that the choice of looking Flood Johnno personal gain, outside the team's needs. I mean, if you choose as a starter to Wilko and plays well, the credit shall be allowed to own Wilko (all would point to its proven quality), while if you go for the young Flood and it plays at a high level, then all the credit would go to Martin Johnson (for his nose outside the hierarchical requirements). Flood pick ahead of Wilko is one of the signs that give content to a supposed 'Johnno style' (in the sense that they would give it a title that so far no coach had been allowed), hence, unless he is injured will Flood playing as a starter. I have no doubt, apparently seen, that coaches like Johnno, Lievremont and De Villiers moves from these narrow criteria.
Second error: Easter. By Johnno give him two things not worth: ownership and captaincy. Easter is one of the structural problems of this team, and yesterday again demonstrated that it does nothing. Slow, heavy, spongy, a gift for his rivals, and it disrupts everything loses too many balls, as he swiped a Wallace in the first half and almost does a test. His line mates, some intense Haskell & Wood, are always overwhelmed trying to cover the mistakes of their past captain. To make matters worse, he falls from the sky a great captain he is, because Easter does not have any leadership skills, and so we have samples in this match in which England needed more leadership than ever. Flood Easter and had to have boasted, but behaved as mediocrities without personality, as inexperienced players fearful by the crazed atmosphere of Aviva, which cheered the venomous attacks of the fifteenth of clover.
Another mistake, although less dramatic, put Banahan center. Where it really hurts the 'Juggernaut of Jersey' is in the position of wing, its sheer size because there can be better utilized to physically less powerful rivals. But use it in a position not usually with the aim of attacking the rival line flush against the powerful Irish flankers, did not seem the best choice (Youngs and Flood did not give many more options.) Again Wilko input allowed a greater role. For a change, are failing Hape also a hole in the line of centers (low of Tindall, contrary to what some thought, he felt worse, because without him England defense loses a lot of consistency and aggressiveness and leadership) and Cueto, not only brings nothing but sterile whirl away from the Irish line, but inexplicably are fixed on Johnno's team.
should also be noted that Youngs and Ashton, key elements (along with Foden) English revival of the past year, have fallen a lot in his game the last two games. Physically they are not look bad (or at least not as much as Flood), but probably deserve a touch care, by falling into some pride (Youngs has already several cockiness that should be corrected, such as that led to his sin bin) or complacency. Not so Foden, always true even if it is more or less inspired. To all this we must add that the English attack did not perform as effectively on previous occasions, which could be seen in the first scrum of the match, won dramatically by the Irish pack (after the fighting went evening). It is clear, however, that does not operate this trio, which has been largely responsible for the highest level of the English game in the last 12 months, is exposed 'Johnno's England', ie which suffered in the first two years of Johnson in command of fifteen in the pink: on a slow, heavy, without ideas, apathetic, flat, etc.
And I will not forget the Irish, who did his best game of the last two years. The Kidney (this itself a good coach, with more talent than ego, unlike the triple-Lievremont Johnno-PdV) a lesson in aggressive, frenetic intensity, the initiative to control the game, dominating the rucks and unfolding in open game completely vertical. Even committed fewer penalties than usual, although it helped the referee Lawrence, who saw a few 'ties' and forgave exclusion of an Irishman (do not remember if it was O'Gara) for an action that itself sent to the sin bin Youngs (O'Gara or whoever hampered output in lead after a penalty in a scrum, which led to a brawl) . But no one can doubt that deserved to win the match comfortably, seeing the power and ambition put on the table. Since then, we have taken the measures to the British, who have defeated in 7 of last 8 clashes. As a final touch to the story, his myth expands O'Driscoll becoming the player that further testing has been achieved in the tournament with 25.
Kidney best thing about right now is a third line of size world (Ferris, Heaslip-O'Brien, Wallace and Leamy in the room), incorporating outstanding this year by Sean O'Brien, a sensational player, in its ferocity, skill and strength almost seems a more South African flanker Europe. It is one of those players 'joyful' epidemic transmitting enthusiasm for rugby (as opposed to specimens as Easter, which only transmit infinite sadness and apathy). If we add that Sexton, oddly enough, was quite inspired (in fact, was named Man of the Match), and the backs, with Tommy Bowe incommensurate charge, showed a continuing danger, it understands the overwhelming dominance of the Irish throughout the first part. Do not dismiss me without remembering the great O'Gara, who just outside majestic implemented gifts to cool parties seeking the vertices shot out millimeter line. This man has more feeling in their feet when they kick the oval that I treasured Johannes Vermeer in their fingers when they drew lines on the canvas with his brush.
Matt Banahan will own this evening in Dublin in the Six Nations decider, the Ireland-England in which the first will play the honor (which is always much rugby) and seconds, the Grand Slam and Triple Crown (the tournament will have virtually insured catastrophe unless implausible: to lose it should be defeated by more than 20 points and Wales win in Paris for a similar figure.) Play center in place of injured Tindall, as it did with solvency in the second part of the England-Scotland on Sunday. That's something, but rather see him perform in his usual position at Bath, the wing, but Johnno is obsessed with keeping the bearer to 15 Mark Cueto not improve what you can bring Banahan, which I see as a kind of Lomu to English, that is, a huge beast could trample everything in its path. It is true that the differences between English and Tongan (to birth) are large for the second, but Banahan has a nature similar conditions that would make sense to go polishing for proper development. A wing of 2 meters is a finding to be considered, especially if it is fast (considering its size), overwhelming, and also has a complete disregard for his personal security. Although, as shown in this video, Banahan more so despises the integrity of its rival, though this is a tough flanker six feet and over a hundred kilos of weight loses consciousness and is off on a stretcher after being hit by the player of Bath.
As for Ireland, England said, two things I twitch the fifteenth of Johnno: the substitution of Wilko (15 minutes after his sensational last game, and a mediocre pre-cast 65 Flood) and the captaincy of Easter, a man who should be neither owner. Just for that, and although I prefer that England win the tournament (as I have said on occasion, is of historical importance that those who invented the sport renewed from time to time the trophy room after so much web), I opted for a beating the Irish in Dublin.
In a match that seemed complicated, with predictions of a beating for a good England face a Scotland that had been very little Andy Robinson started the hand of a pride that they were not seen in the tournament. It fajaron with enthusiasm and always with the hope of achieving a mash, but in these cases the result is not the only aim. Come forward, offer a decent fighter, discrediting its debts. Paterson was one of Scotland's most committed to the cause, and his ability to go beyond their own possibilities (Paterson has a limited physical and has never been a great tackler) can be seen dramatically in these pictures: British attack on the left flank , rapid Ben Foden faces trial unhindered sure can give the peace ... when it is released under his suicidally feet, a Paterson, after hooking a leg, get out the English defender playing field. A highly complex action which ended in a performance almost divine, as in those westerns in which he always had the Seventh Cavalry appeared when I needed the hero of the day, in a moment of sublime climax. At Twickenham, for or against, everyone was resigned to the test, and Paterson just thought it was possible to do everything to prevent it, risking his face in the effort (a boot Foden hits him in the nose when they roll into baseline). Chris Paterson, the man of the week.
VI Nations 2011: the Calcutta Cup for England awful
The two trials of the game, and a beautiful assembly of the BBC with images of the game in slow motion swaying to the sound of Sunday kind of love of Etta James
England begins to close their unfinished folders: Calcutta Cup in his pocket, and the tournament practically. But his party yesterday (22-16 , chronic BBC Rugby) was really awful, a real hodgepodge in which deserved to lose with a Bravissimo Scotland. In the English press had two weeks of euphoria, comparing this team with the unstoppable machine that in 2003 took the world only to the northern hemisphere. But one can never forget that Martin Johnson is on the same line of coaches Marc Lievremont and Peter de Villiers, ie men who have more ego than talent, capable of worsening the superb workmanship that is available. Very adept at throwing on the ground that the talent of his players has helped to achieve. Yesterday Johnno was unable to motivate his players (or they did not made the slightest case) in a match that had a lot of danger, continues to insist on several elements that have spent months asking bench (Easter, Hape and Cueto), later changed to a Flood inoperative, etc. Their direction was terrible, and the application of his men ran to the couple. A point was the occurrence of a shipwreck terrible, and it was a full-blown warning of what might happen to this team when playing confident and arrogant. On such days, even a Scotland which has not won one, which has one of the worst defenses of the continent and a very poor attack, was about to take the bell and take a Calcutta Cup which has not won in London for 27 years.
The England game was awful, in all its lines. Thick, slow, no ideas, unable to control the pace and the evolution of the game. Only two combinations of some merit in 65 minutes, until it came Wilko. They seemed to have left the countryside and feeling winners all, when have not clinched anything yet. Scotland ate in intensity and courage, and she was almost hysterical to those of Andy Robinson for a historical man (maybe if a painful Romain Poite, who ended up injured for chuflas Palma around the pub where I was, no was sent to the sin bin to Barclay in a somewhat rigorous). The new boat should be, Toby Flood, was disastrous, failing almost every play (pass Developed tickets to ruck from the side, inside passes repetitive, inventive, etc.), And the unused wings of relapse in each Johnno problems prior to the discovery of the 'trio wonder': attacks in the middle, slow, unimaginative, repetitive, you just dock it over and over again on the wall of the rival line. We saw the sad England in the first two years of Johnson. Youngs on this occasion was unable to offer more alternatives, and the only two that were made (the two long combinations mentioned above) failed because of the unusual defense capacity shown by the Caledonians (it's amazing that this same defense was humiliated before the loophole Ireland France). Johnno was wrong again when making changes, and the great Wilko (along with Croft, Thompson and Shaw) came very late (was time to expand by 5 points scoring world record, leaving in 1183). Before leaving, to be sure that Twickenham would have been less but at least the squad arrived in time to secure victory. And is that Wilkinson, as in his first three interventions became more direct when his three quarters Flood in 65 minutes prior. The Croft test came after one of these combinations carried out shortly. Flood was well in their first matches of the tournament, but she seems exhausted and locked (a lot of pressure which will endorse a successor to the great Wilkinson), so it would be logical that Wilko was the headline on Saturday 10 Dublin. But with the mediocre Johnno involved, expert repeat mistakes, I do not see anything clearly. Banahan is another player whose ownership should be indisputable, but only out by Tindall's injury, although in his first play intimidating demonstrated the ability to give their two meters tall (rolled to a Kelly Brown who had to be evacuated on a stretcher).
As I say, Scotland deserved to win the game. The key, as well as acquired motivation to redeem a bad tournament, was the entrance to Lawson at 15 Holder, who led his team with consistency and skill that today is unable to Mike Blair. The theologian also helped filófoso Danielli, very active in the first half, with Lamont always in his line, and the promise that Jackson left behind a loose game scoring a sensational drop the stroke of halftime. I also liked the combative Max Evans, capable of creating beautiful essay by himself, or the essential and Ritchie Gray, a second line to mark time. And what about Paterson: life insurance with your foot, also made big tackles, an incredible Foden when a Saints defender was about to rest on the goal line. As against Wales last year, Scotland became a stay at the threshold of success, but at least showed they are capable of much more than those shown in this tournament.
England and has the Calcutta Cup, and almost the tournament (the difference in points with Wales, the only one who can take it away, is +42 Pro-British), but in Dublin await Grand Slam and Triple Crown. After seeing yesterday in London, I would say that while they deserve to win the tournament, should be nowhere near the full pack of hits. If they play like yesterday, deserve the green square Declan Kidney the mercilessly run over the Aviva Stadium.
leave the image also illustrates a curious moment of the game, or rather the post-match, which was to see Tindall receiving the trophy from the hands Calcutta Cup in a few months will become in his mother, Princess Anne of Windsor.
PD: at the break, the BBC has interviewed Hugh Grant, who was in Twickenham. I do not remember having seen before in rugby, but in one of cricket (if I remember correctly, The Ashes 2005). He has good taste in sports this gentleman.
VI Nations 2011: Ireland is suicide on the day of the Six Nations records
the very day that reached the top spot O'Driscoll top Scorer of the tournament (with 24) and O'Gara became the fifth man to overcome the barrier of a thousand points in international rugby (leaves its mark in 1006), Ireland threw away their options in this tournament, especially winning the Triple Crown. After a good first half, as substantiated in a runaway start in their backs as they moved between the beleaguered defense knives Welsh, was carried away in the second to give Wales will return to score to win 19-13 (chronic BBC Rugby). The intensity of this first part was really nice to watch, with players who showed a superb delivery. But the exhaustion swept the second phase, with many more errors and lack of ideas. Ireland and did not score, and Wales was only able to test thanks to a trick, presented in an action of dubious legality.
Wales, by the way, has improved its performance since Basante James Hook has achieved the title as the opening (though at the low of Jonathan Davies, before Scotland played the first center). Three wins in three games since then. While the love and respect for Stephen Jones is much, we must recognize that the last two years and did not deserve to be a starter in the fifteenth day of the dragon. Hook and Biggar are in better shape to perform in estaposición, as they give you more mobility and imagination to their attacking play. If Johnno has dared to sit at Wilko, do not see why Gatland has resisted so when I had more reasons to do the same with Jones. It was also noted positively the return to Halfpenny young team, a great talent even able to successfully handle the more distant shots with sticks. Warburton also noted a asentand being gradually as one of the best flankers in the continent. Instead, I missed a greater involvement of Alun-Wyn Jones, well off the whole game.
desctacar In Ireland I would like to Sean O'Brien, who after two games a little better, it's showing in the last two which is the revelation of the tournament player. The Leinster flanker is a real monster if you go grab the oval, either by force or skill, and fierce fighting for every ruck. To me, it can be one of the players in the world (the third line formed with Heaslip and Ferris, when it recovers, it may be historical). But decisive paramal was the change of O'Gara by Sexton. It is true that O'Gara gradually going down their pace of play and accuracy of his kicks (missed some designed to line out), but the output of Sexton made it worse. First, after missing a simple penalty that would have allowed tie the game at 16, and second, with a rueful line kicked out, that the Welsh apovecharon Rees and Phillips (in potentially unlawful. Those on the BBC yesterday not just have the unclear). I even think that somehow was involved in the dramatic last play of the game, when he almost redeeming the test result of the Irish, but Paddy Wallace, queparecía have the test done at the top left corner to try to get a win more focused study, ie most likely to make the transformation. Surely the ghost of Sexton incolvencia foot crossed, what grim flash of Wallace's mind, and that certainty (not sure it gets from the band ") could end up twisting what might have been a great victory of Hibernian.
Although so far some prefer oversize Grand Slam last year (together, one of the worst on record Six Nations), there was little doubt about the negative dynamics that led staggered but firmly Lievremont's France to disaster. Although perhaps one not hoped that the carnage occurred just at the Flaminio stadium in Rome, in the weak Italy, a selection that anybody wins in the Six Nations, except in Scotland, and this afternoon has probably played the biggest game in history ( 22-21). Not allowing the powerful attack of the French (a major attack by Pronatura anesthetized illogical coach) more than two trials, and claiming all resulting penalties was consistent with its forward pack. The test rearwardly Masi put them in the game, and allowed Bergamasco foot glory. The last few minutes were agonizing, with a dunk France to get a drop or cause a penalty, but have achieved would not have changed the painful impression left on the grass. At the end you have to give to Nick Mallett, taking into account the precarious twigs available, has managed to mount a serious team, tough and physical, often make war on all rivals. With all this year, except England, has had a chance to win the game, and interestingly it has gotten to the tournament champion yet. Although it lacks a quality start to aspire to something more important (the scrum half position and is best dealt with Semenzato and Canavosio), it is clear that Italy has grown a step in recent years.
France needed to win to beat for vacuuming still win the Six Nations (the point spread is very favorable to England) and recorded what the story behind every encounter between the teams is that the victory was too wide as possible. In fact, the last antecedent in Rome was a beating guest: 8-50. But this time, or even victory. Symptoms of the French defeat were already planted, and even then we dedicate a blog entry last week alone. If ever there was in France working fewer defenders of their coach, after the humiliation of Rome I think it should just be one of the brave or unconscious still cheered. A splendid generation may be liquidated in the worst way possible. But now it is too late to change Lievremont, France rugbista so it will bear in the worst case scenario: the World of New Zealand.
Indeed, with today's result, England is virtual tournament champion, eight years later to win tomorrow because Scotland already have on hand (the point spread is so huge that it makes impossible any change in the last time).
VI Nations Rome 2011: O'Gara makes the best southern Trusts
With excessive delays try to analyze the Murrayfield clash that pitted the two rivals that are left for England on their way to a possible Grand Slam: Scotland 18 - Ireland 21 . It was no wonder, of course, they both showed that, if you do not wake up, those of Johnno overcome them with ease in the coming weeks. Scotland remained in its normal, while in Ireland, following the attempts to curdle opening Sexton owner and were unsuccessful, Keadney should consider whether it is better to grant the veteran O'Gara the chance to direct the Hibernian World and what is to come to him. A fine O'Gara launched with sticks, sublime shot in the line out (or almost: just missed one at minute 66) and even able to score an essay, breaking the line between Ford and Jackson, even risking their entry by breaking out of the tackle of Paterson.
Scotland took the lead in the first half (ended 9-14), but in his usual style: slow phases, with no capacity to do harm, with a break that he had no continuity or died in a knock-on or a bad pass. Waste initiative, without solving capacity. Sometimes it seems they want to play with 'French', without twigs for it, while paradoxically France is dedicated to playing the style would suit the Caledonians. If options were maintained until the end was because of the numerous penalties committed Ireland (also to your style, there is no way to correct its endemic indiscipline.) But the change of Parks by Ruaridh Jackson had no effect (Parks had to come to the rescue just after the third trial Irish), besides that Blair did not help. The main problem with this team is that players have too bland: they have some talent, but lack of fierceness and determination. Therefore, among the dull and lifeless block, players like Sean Lamont are essential (also Ritchie Gray), and do not understand why Andy Robinson has taken so long to provide ownership. Rory Lawson and Parks also affect your output in a more enthusiastic, but in Scotland always comes out the pathos wealthy and cagey does not play a serious test option to comply with a sterile drop (always manage to postpone any chance of taking the lead on the scoreboard).
Ireland was not much better (some yes, of course), but at least when attacking always carried risk. The first two trials Irish were a clear demonstration of Scotland's defensive mediocrity. In the first, again an error by De Luca (Robinson finally seems to understand, facing the Twickenham clash, that this man may not hold in the squad thistle), which went straight to Rory Best, Sean Lamont which already controlled (again vital center Scarlets), paving the way Heaslip to pose to the oval. The second was worse, the mistakes were many and distributed collectively. First, mutual disastrous in a line out caused by O'Gara, leaving the ball free, and even if they collect, Lamont has just lost and Blair is tackled in the area of \u200b\u200bbrand. Scrum pro-green, and Heaslip that easily deceived the defenders, taking three of them, that REDD can write quietly.
Despite its more powerful offensive, Ireland purged their indiscipline in the rucks, to end fear of a victory that would have controlled more placid. O'Brien improved his previous matches, forming a powerful third line with Heaslip, who is recovering his time low, and a brave Wallace.
make time to see and comment on the Scotland-Ireland, I shall resist commenting on a small detail that may have a funny story. The point is that strikes me the confidence with which many southern hemisphere referees deal with the team captains of the Super 15. Referees are often the New Zealanders and Australians, rather than South Africans, but many times, when speaking to the captains, often called by his first name. During the last Force-Sharks, the referee called Nathan Sharpe for his name, and sometimes same thing happened with Phil Waugh, Rocky Elsom and McCaw. By contrast, in the Northern Hemisphere affairs are a little more distance and less colloquial. This may have been any case, but I do not remember any referee calling by name captains meetings of Heineken, the Aviva or Magners.
PD: the highlights of the conference 2 and 3 the Super 15.
Report on Total Rugby on one of my favorite flankers, George Smith . A guy who, injured in the line of Heinrich Brüssow, raised to an art work of tackling and stealing the oval tackled opponent. A guy always reliable, strong in defense and attack delivered a rock they like, and continues in France with Wilko and Hayman, everything that confronts him.
The case continues to intrigue me the inside story of his retirement from international rugby (and subsequent move to Toulon Boudjellal millionaire, the patron of the comic), after passing a hundred caps and good age to reach the World Cup this year. I do not know if it was totally clear, but I've always been the idea of \u200b\u200bbad relationships with Robbie Deans, who left Smith without a second captain (after Mortlock), in addition to lower rates further category, of unquestionable first flanker, to third after Elsom and Pocock. I have the feeling that, even if not owner (Pocock was the best flanker in the world last 2011, and a fixed Elsom), Australia will need people like George Smith to win the World Cup.
also leave here a collection of moves in the Australian Centurion.
Aviva Two Premiership teams are mired in two diametrically opposite dynamic: Gloucester, upward, and Northampton, in unstoppable decline. The Bryan Redpath has gone from being a pointless middle of the table, to get into play-offs and options in addition to assault the top of the classification. Right now it is the best run team in recent months. His last background is amazing, no one seems to resist its thrust, and is surpassing rivals one by one entity: Bath yesterday, Northampton (party to which the video above), London Irish, etc. With Ryan at the helm Dean Gloucester was a team that used to lead the regular season only to fall later in the playoffs, and last year, Redpath first command, not even had chance to get in the top 4. However, it seems that this year everything has changed and the project of former Scotland scrum-half results begins to crystallize. Yesterday they won (34-22 ) to one of the best teams, Bath, with a lesson in the set piece (Hamilton unbeatable in the line outs, Doran-Jones to Flatman picnicking and mauls some very good), and an offensive display in the key moments that led to mastery Rory Lawson. The team is more aggressive and deployment is faster than last year, and that will take advantage of players like Morgan and Voyce, who have regained prominence after their respective injuries. Attack stages are fast and clear the rucks to perfection, allowing fanfare yesterday as it took to get 4 trials and the corresponding bonus offensive. In the beautiful Kingsholm are unbeatable, and unlike last season get to score points off Gloucester.
the part Northampton, it is clear that its virtues are also its demerit is that the temporary exodus of international, are in an exceptional time, have deeply damaged the set. Without Foden, Ashton, Hartley and Wood (and have been injured Lawes and Dickson, Ansbro and a match with Scotland), which have dramatically decreased its offensive capability, the Saints have been comfortably leading the table to plummet to even leave the zone play-offs (right now are in sixth place, albeit with a match less). His last defeat, the sixth in a row in the competition, now in Exeter (30-9 ), a similar beating which suffered at The Rec (nobody gets testing and defense is a loophole), shows that desperately needs the return of his best men if they want the choice to end the season so positive as the initiated.
