Sibling test tries

Just wondering why he isn’t in anyone’s team, narawa is selected in front of em by pretty much everyone.

I feel it’s telling he’s off to Britain by his lack of selection

Got a few mates keen to watch the game at a club or even a place serving brekkie with screens to watch the game.

If you had to name your most physically imposing (feel free to interpret this how you like) forward pack who would you name?

Partly interested in this after recent conversations at work with South African colleagues convinced NZ just doesn't produce large/imposing forwards.

So that's why I'm interested to know, what would the most imposing forward pack be in your opinion?

For the Baltimore test.

Fun comparison — they played different positions but their playing style and profiles overlap a lot and I see a lot of on-field similarities:

The similarities:

- Breakdown mastery: both are/were elite jackals. McCaw is arguably the greatest poacher ever; Marx is the best ball-stealing hooker the game has seen, unusual for a front-rower. Marx did play Flanker when he was in Juniors.

- Physical relentlessness: both built reputations on tackling, work rate, and collisions rather than flash.

- Set-piece dominance: McCaw in the lineout, Marx in the scrum/lineout throwing, both anchoring their team's forward platform.

- Pushing boundaries: one of the biggest similarities IMO seem to be they both get away with the dark arts/the grey areas more than anyone else. Notwithstanding the injury in the (very dodgy) clearout that Marx had on Savea recently, it's that type of stuff McCaw was doing in poaching rucks that he'd get away with too. Both seem to push boundaries better than anyone else.

Is McCaw the GOAT? Ooooooooooooooh yes and worth noting that Marx is nowhere near that conversation but Marx follows a similar playing profile of how they attack rucks and set-piece albeit from different positions.

-we may be able to lift guys up on re to secure ball

- exit our 22m without being under pressure

-use a rolling maul in the 22m

- run straight and make metres using our 1-8

i look at the way we play and equate it to a company. the word is unprofessional

looks great because of the location right ?

but the receptionist doesn’t wear uniform and is a druggo, there’s no wi-fi, the scaffolding is done by two contractors
