    I agree with Rog about Russell saving the lions tour. Gatland should not have been allowed anywhere near that tour as a manager. Not picking Ringrose and Sexton was obscene.

    • @Norwhally
      @Norwhally Před rokem +1

      Interesting that Gatland didn't include Russell in his team of the six nations, not even on bench. Guess he's not big enough to admit he got it wrong about Russell in the Lion's tour.

    ROG is dead right about Russell and his workload. We are so fortunate to have a system where players minutes are aggressively managed.
    No way Sexton or even POM would still be getting selected if they were in any other European team as they would have been flogged into retirement ages ago.

      @@dulls8475 Finn has the worst of it statistically in the 6 nations--I think after last week he'd played 500 minutes more than the second player in terms of minutes across club and country (for 6N players this year). I think the second was Ntamack. The RFU can keep players in camp if they choose to, as can the French, and both require players to play in their home nations. I think they should put 1 fallow week in place instead of two imo.

      @@dulls8475 Yes, I was merely conversing about the actual points in the video, what ROG was talking about when it comes to Russell actually have played almost 1/3 more rugby than anyone else in the tournament this year. But also, sorry, France and England and Ireland also have full control over their entire teams during every major tournament, which is a massive advantage. Don't think you can simply say 'France and England' have it worst. Scotland and Wales have to send key players back to play for clubs in the middle of the 6N. I get your point that Ireland is miles ahead, but come tournament time England and France have excellent control. @eggchasersrugby has a great video on this, worth watching.
