    Halfpenny far more influential IMHO

    Terrific player. Not flash, just 110% reliable. Year after year.

          Anybody know why Koroibete is quitting? He's certainly still good enough and 31 isn't that old.

            I'm guessing two reasons. Eddie and Jones.

              Gareth Anscombe too, I believe. Off to play in Japan. He was phenomenal at his best, but had some shocking luck with injuries.

                  A bunch of pretty handy footballers are bringing the curtain down on their careers. Who is done now?

                  Obviously for us its huge names in Aaron Smith and Sam Whitelock. Beauden Barrett as well (despite delusions of coming back), Richie Mo'unga as well. Dane Coles ends a great AB career.

                  Eddie Jones retired all the Wallabies before the Cup

                  Johny Sexton is now gone, and will leave a huge hole in the Irish side

                  Courtney Lawes hangs them up for England, arguably the best 6 in world rugby for a long time now.

                  I'm sure there is heaps more.

                  I hope he fucks off too. Rugby is better off without him and his bullshit

                  Eddie was ballsy but waltzing just before the RWC AND getting rid of the experienced hands does seem a lurch towards insanity in hindsight. I wonder what the young guns in the squad think of him now.

                        I’ll do the shitty Split Enz puns if it’s all the same to you. I have to be good for something.

                              I try and stay one step ahead

                              I guess they're all saying it's time for a change and so long for now.

                              I’ll do the shitty Split Enz puns if it’s all the same to you. I have to be good for something.

                              Wow, poor boy, somebody's seeing red. It's another great divide opening up that never ceases to amaze me.

                                  A bunch of pretty handy footballers are bringing the curtain down on their careers. Who is done now?

                                  Obviously for us its huge names in Aaron Smith and Sam Whitelock. Beauden Barrett as well (despite delusions of coming back), Richie Mo'unga as well. Dane Coles ends a great AB career.

                                  Eddie Jones retired all the Wallabies before the Cup

                                  Johny Sexton is now gone, and will leave a huge hole in the Irish side

                                  Courtney Lawes hangs them up for England, arguably the best 6 in world rugby for a long time now.

                                  I'm sure there is heaps more.

                                  I hope he fucks off too. Rugby is better off without him and his bullshit

                                  Eddie was ballsy but waltzing just before the RWC AND getting rid of the experienced hands does seem a lurch towards insanity in hindsight. I wonder what the young guns in the squad think of him now.

                                  I'm reading this thread backwards from the Split Enz puns. And this is the stage where I reached the first post where I can't tell if it is a serious post, or just a string of puns.

                                  Damning.

                                  I mean:
                                  waltzing, young guns, lurch, towards insanity. These could all be Split Enz B sides I've never heard of. Or this could just be a vague waffling post about rugby.

                                    ^^ Although, it has the cadence of some Jamiroquai lyrics.

                                      I have Conflicting Emotions here. Maybe it's time that I Walk Away from this Topic or Take the Next Exit.

                                      I do wish the Enz didn't have such a large discography

                                        I can't believe we are in the final, for so much of Fozz's tenure it's felt like 6 months in a leaky boat
