Old Frightful 5,714 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Difference in the sides is the defence. Aussies look almost impenetrable, Kiwis not as good. Just as I post it, they're opened up again. Quote RADFORD OUT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the short format allows the players to go full-on with less fatigue, but I agree with you. It is over so quickly. 15 minutes a half, perhaps? Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

We matched the best for power, but that's missing the point of Nines. You still need muscle in the middle, unlike Sevens, but when you think of the really rapid backs who are back in the UK right now, it was an opportunity missed. If there wasn't a GB tour happening immediately after, I guess we'd have sent a different squad. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.
