By RugbyPass
Christina Mahon, Dylan Hartley and Jamie Roberts are joined on RugbyPass Offload - Episode 19 by Wales and Lions back row Dan Lydiate to review all the Guinness Six Nations action, including the controversial match between the Welsh and England in Cardiff.
The guys disagree on some of the refereeing decisions that happened at the Principality Stadium and Jamie sees a path to an unexpected Grand Slam for Wales now that they have won their first three matches in 2021.
RugbyPass Offload - Episode 19 also covers the fallout from the French team's Covid blunder and what it should mean for the French team and the remainder of the tournament. Dan relives his favourite Lions memories and also talks about his experiences in France with Racing 92.

The way Ratima has been treated he needs to look OS. Same with Perofeta and Love, Hothem too. Razor is a token coach. Gives debuts but very few mins. Also DM too. Just go earn millions elsewhere DM as all you get in NZ is bagging.
BB is coaches favourite and I say let him have BB right thru to the next 2 or maybe even 3 World cups.😁😁 Have JB outside him at 12...That just works so well.
Go to commentsIt certainly needs to be cherished. Despite Nick (and you) highlighting their usefulness for teams like Australia (and obviously those in France they find form with) I (mention it general in those articles) say that I fear the game is just not setup in Aus and NZ to appreciate nor maximise their strengths. The French game should continue to be the destination of the biggest and most gifted athletes but it might improve elsewhere too.
I just have an idea it needs a whole team focus to make work. I also have an idea what the opposite applies with players in general. I feel like French backs and halves can be very small and quick, were as here everyone is made to fit in a model physique. Louis was some 10 and 20 kg smaller that his opposition and we just do not have that time of player in our game anymore. I'm dying out for a fast wing to appear on the All Blacks radar.
But I, and my thoughts on body size in particular, could be part of the same indoctrination that goes on with player physiques by the establishment in my parts (country).
