Recap: England vs Scotland | 2021 Six Nations

Boots and cats and boots and cats and…

If you want to do a competition with the potentiality of Top14, tests and ECPR, some players could land at over 40 games. Do they? No they don’t.

It’s not about who’s the bravest or the toughest, as if the ones who played more games or minutes are better. They’re not. But they have played an amount of rugby that is dangerous for their bodies and minds.

And with all the former players suing WR for not taking care of the players welfare, trying to push at an era of super humans with huge hits and extended ball in play is at best reckless, at worst treating them as gladiators who need to sacrifice their wellbeing for our amusement and often life void.

That is what most sensible ppl want to see.

So which French players from that list would you select? I’m curious.😁

But you are the one who refuses to listen to the very obvious evidence that other high-quality players could have been picked but were not:

The stats are not ‘missing’ they are representative of a reality behind the guff we are given as ‘reasons not to pick our best squad to tour NZ’.

It’s an attempt to devalue international footy when there was an opportunity to develop it with a one of the great series.
