morning
this is the thread
Open
>>156596871Nations Championship is cringe but I'll take what I can get.
>>156597353Honestly after understanding the format i really like it
Okay i was mean to the pajeetsReminder that pajeets dont play league or union they play 7sThere is also the junior world cup semifinals going on on the 12th and 13th
Tomorrow? I think nobody will watch this, you know?
>>156597895Problably not, but i will watch it split screen with the england vs norway gameLast week los pumas lost and everyone was like, wtf? I am sure every puma watched arg vs cape verde and got a semi heart attack
>>156597820no need to apologise for that lad
>>156597820no, we must keep jeets out
>5:10 kickofffor what purpose?
oh what. same time as dolphins sharks
>>156599089Yep not good for us bicoderious chads
>>156599089>opposed training run or decent gamenot really hard decision to make tttt
not sure I want to watch this, reckon it'll be a slurper
we will win 38-17 or thereabouts. on paper the result will be fine but the game will be boring and we will not play well.
>>156599469Idk bro last week even the bad games in paper delivered
Bump
>>156599537As long as the ABs beat the Irish next week, it's acceptable to be rusty for the Italians.I'm curious to see how much of a fight the Scots will bring to the Boks before they get massacred in the second half
game of the day is aussie franceunless france play their A team
>>156599551I'll prob just have it on in the background, don't think I'll bother posting though lad x
>>156599811praying for a shock dirish loss to the Nips
>>156600438phwoar now that would be delicious
Game hasn't started yet and dad is already swearing at the telly.
>>156600598Based
>>156600598R U OK M8
>>156599820whichever French team shows up Schmidt need to engineer some victories so he ends his tenure with some dignityWhat a cursed period in Wallabies history, when will it end?
>>Bit of a graveyard for the All Blacks to be honestWay to jinx your own team less than one hour into kick-off Marshy
>>156601250was he talking about Wellington?he's right, they've been dogshit there for years and I put the blame squarely on the dogshit populace of that shitty village
>>156596889II BELIEVE
>>156601478Yeah you should it was a great game against portugal last week
rather go to the gym than watch Italy concede 100 points to the All Blacks
>>156601559It's only Rennie's second game, the ABs haven't gone full kinetic yet.ABs will probably score between 40-50
What the fuck is this australian style build-up video?
gonna go full kinetic on this box of beers
>>156599070pretty annoying tbqfahwymdfp
>sititi>clearly standing
shitty rendition this
holy shit Anton Segnerfuck if only i could remember my trip password, been backing him since 2023

>>156601918viprow dot im
>>French refereeFucking hell, I can already see the game go to shite
Will Jordan break the try scoring record tonight?
kek
Why am I even watching this bullshit?
KINO KINO
Kiwis been done
beautiful turnstile defence on the flanks
Destroy all spidercams
FFS Proctor we got you on the team to count on your defence
the all blacks will have to score more points than italy if they want to win
Proctor more like cocktor
roid guard looking a bit flat footed tonight
cocktor? i hardly know her!
they were offside in at least half of those rucks since the re-start kek
Might go back to phins/sharks t b q h
>jai arrow celebration
bonjour
fuck the Wellingtonian crowds are so shit and retarded
weak try tb h
Wellington is such a gay maori city it's pretty cringe
>>156602062cringier than the haka tbqhwy
I love wellington
>>156602068see >>156602080
>>156602021Are you saying the Italians will lose if they score less points than the ABs?
>>156602080when were you there last?
fags like GAYrold like smellington
>>156602091Where are you looking
>>156602112About a year and a half ago. It was cool and chilled
>>Got bounced off by McKenzieI see the defence will be pretty crap for both teams this afternoon
>>156602132I think you might just have shit taste mate, it's a fucking ghost town
>>156602148Yeah that’s why I liked it
ABs getting bailed out here
Wtf italy went super saiyan for this game or wot
Why aren’t Italy dropping the ball constantly
why are French refs so universally whistle-happy
Ball sacks really do be playing like this
Italy - good guysall blacks - bad (at rugby) guys
Le crouch, le bind
fuck me this is a dire spectacle
More hot and sweaty ball to tryline action please
state of this team
switching over to supercunts at 6:15 if this doesn't improve
He’s been done
>>156602324Whats supercunts?
>all blacks still struggling to deal with the same tackle tactics that south africa have been using for 4 years
kek they really are taking the piss with the offside
>>156596871Fuck man why did they have to make Rugby passable entertainment? We were SO CLOSE!
nz are never going to win another world cup
>>156602364You may yet mr frodo
PINEKINO
HOWEVER
forward pass in there surely
alright that was pretty nice
>>Will JordanThere it is
Josh Moorby looks like Ben O'Keefe
what the FUCK are they doingthis is why rugby is falling off a a cliff they already fucking awarded the trywhat a bunch of time wasting shit holy fuck
nz rugby died when they stopped doing the probables vs possibles games
>>If you tapped the ball to avoid the other player competing for it, then it's not a knock onIt's nice they have that spelt out in the rule book, but how would a ref judge that in motion anyway?
PLEASE involve me in the game I'm the main character
>>156602418fucking hell now those were the days
*wastes your time*
Ref is bent (as in gay)
>>156602425>you wanna see any more angles lads??!!yea 100% fucking what a homo
>>156602438I'm trying to find whomst it is, but I've got a pretty good idea of who it is, and they're a massive fucking narcissist and have pulled this shit before.
>>156602418do they still do north vs south?
>>156602455of course not, can't give the young hungry players any opportunities to upstage the old crusty ones
>>156602448
>>156602448Oh its Ben Whitehouse. Whomst has refereed a total of 2 (two) international matches before they decided he wasn't good enough at this level.
>>156602471>bent shitehouse
DARRY more like TARDY
Kek
me? i blame dan farter and the chemist warehouse
Italian defence is pretty solid but fuck me this frog cunt has been shit at monitoring the breakdown and offsides
>>156602527>refs are blowing the whistle too often>refs aren't blowing the whistle enoughthe duality of /rug/
I am gonna sleep bros keep the thread alive or not whatever Good game so far, there needs to be a rule so that stops take less time

>>156602897not while pinekenzie and oldman barrett are playing

Oh come on that a bit of Italian dickery, but Roigard didn't even flinch from it
>>156602948>a literal off the ball unprovoked headbutt>nothingare you.. retarded?

>player being carted off>entire crowd singing sweet caroline

>EVERYONE STOP THE GAME>the TMO has something to say everyone listen please :)

All kinds of video ref shit should be removed from every sport. It's a fucking joke.Just let the fucking referees make the calls and officiate the game.Fucks sake.
kek never seen that before
suck shit you dumb fucking frog cunt
Jesus Christ this officiating is a shitshow
>>156603235I'd listen, and that's what no one else did
>>156603240but it makes rigging so much easier
joke sport
SHITITI
jesus christ that's 4 (four) handling errors from Sititithis cunt is terrible
>>"It's fair to say, the word 'confusion' comes to mind"YOU DON'T SAY
>>156603266>>Simon Parker 6, Ardie Savea 7, and Luke Jacobson 8Please make it so
>>156603211I honestly don't know if that will be enough matethey've been down a man for most of this half, they should be flooding their tryline and they're just spilling spaghetti everywhere this is a terrible display against a team that has been gassed since the half hour mark
>>156603024lions tour match in adelaide last year, bloke needed stretchering off and the stadium announcer played hang on, help is on its way. had me cackling
>>156603294I sincerely hope they do. It's an entire tour in South Africa, either they swim or they sink
>>156603297kek that's just good bantz
Direland finna heem these babby blacks next week
>>156603294And yeah it really feels like they helped Jordan got his record and just decided job is done and go into cruise mode

>>156603337based noticer
fuck these cunts HATE playing in Smellington kek
show us the fucking streaker
Rennie has to drop Sititi for the West Britain match
>>156603352I hereby forbid any future test matches played at Wellington. NZ has Eden Park, FSB, Te Kaha and Waikato stadium. That's it.
>>156603391TRVTHIE
>>156603352what sport is the ground actually designed for?too small for cricket, too round for any of the rugbys

>mfw the haka
morning rugbros
Haven't watched ruggers for years. Are England good again yet?
>>156603506You guys are playing Fiji, you may as well go back to sleep.
>>156597655I knew it. It was dire af.>>156599537Hey, you got Italy's score right.>>156601582And you got the ABs' range right too.
>>156603528>win: feel nothing>lose: existential crisis
>>156603523somebody post the england pundit prediction pic from the m6n
>>156603523Good as in Wilkinson-era good or Eddie Jones era good? Neither. England are competitive and you write them off at your peril, but they don't look to be consistently winning enough to shift the top 3 rankings.
>>156603528its fun seeing the fijians fuck up teams physically
>>156603537Meh, it's Italy. TAB won't be paying much for that bet. To be fair to them though, they gave the ABs a proper arm wrestle in the first half before they deflated.
Where the FUCK was love tonight? Never seen a more invisible performance by a 10
>>156603556I love watching that too, but all the other teams knows what the Fijians can do, so they just refused to engage their backs and instead score by mauls/penalties
will Australia ever get a fly half as good as Giteau again?
>>156603407by trying to accommodate both they accidentally built an aussie rules ground
>>156603607miss Gits, he was a proper player that lad
YOUNG AND FREE
Quade Cooper and Will Genia were playing for my local tinpot suburban club today
>>156603619I went to that game. Think maybe collingwood played. I didn't know anything about AFL at the time but it wasn't too bad. Tickets were dirt cheap.
>>156603622might have to rewatch gits tb h
Not the best singers for each anthem. The guy before was good
>POOSTRALIANS ALL LET US POOJOICE>FOR WE ARE POZZED AND KEKED Think it was better before they changed desu
>>156596871Did they finally kick italy out? They always got the wooden spoon no?
>woman commentator Yeah will see you lads for >England vs Fiji
GONE GOTTEM>>156603619Yh and they only use it for limited overs cricket, all the test are still played at the Basin Reserve.
>aussie scores a try>5 points for france
>>156601169Banter era innit. Miss the early 2000s Wobs.>>156603694Not anymore, it's Wales now.
God those french kits are nice
>>156603694I will not allow this slander to stand, apologise immediately.
dear oh dear
>>156603694Wales have finished bottom this last three seasons in the 6Ns. This isn’t the 6Ns.
>>156596871lmao what kind of joke is this? get out your fake competition out of /sp/ until the real cup is over.
>>156603727I look like this
>>156603734Go back to dodging tax in your home country
>>156603727Can someone like this realistically play rugby? Asking for a cric poosonality
>>156603747Tbf calling that kind of match a "final" is indeed too much.
>ABs Test ends >thread dies
>>156603771sorry im eating dinner right nowfizzing for the norway game tomorrow though
>>156603760This whole “nations championship” is a joke, just glorified friendlies.
Ayy
GONE GOTTEM
>>156603771Watching the game turbo
>>156603779It's far from the only problem I have with this tournament, but like I said I'll take what I can get.
>>156603779Warmup before the world cup
>>156603802Wobs will need way more than a warmup if they want to advance out of the pools and avoid doing an England.
>>156603734i don't know anything about your country so i can't personalise this for you but fuck off where you came from
>fantasy rugbygame's gone
Everytime Justin Harrison talks I'm reminded what it was like to work in an office. Corpospeak is fully retarded.
>>156603779If anything the old Tests format were glorified friendlies you retard
>>156603840i know they cant officially diagnose CTE until after death but for some people its pretty obvious
Off for a haircut lads
is will jordan the best player of all time?
>>156603861grimbet his wife hates it
GONE GOTTEM >>156603846>old test format You mean where a team toured another nation and played at least three Tests as well as a number of tour games against club sides and invitationals like the Lions still do? Retard
>straya
Fuck what a ball
I was led to believe Declan Meredith wasn't shit.
and btw if you mean the “summer internationals” they used to play at this time every year before this, then yes they were friendlies I don’t think anyone thought otherwise and I didn’t say that they weren’t. You fucking thick bogan cunt reply to what others actually say or didn’t you learn reading comprehension?
>>156603889And what did those three Tests actually result in? Oh right, nothing. Lions tours and RWC are still a thing in odd-numbered years retard
Lets gooo
>You can countUm does he know he's talking to a lock?
aussie 'tators are just saying whats happeningnothing of value being added
Will only be replying to SH posters
This shit is fucking gay now
>>156603955That means replying to pozzies
>>156603955France is SH
>>156603972okay okay I meant I will not be replying to ponglish poosters
>>156603928Go back to gayfl it’s too obvious
dipshit english cazzie worked into a seethe, love to see it
>>156603771they are the protagonists of the ruggers, innit
>spout retarded shit >muh muh I win yh defo a gayfl poster cazzie yoursel
wright would make any team in the world
Excellent 40/20 from wilson
>>156604018oooff he is VERY upset
>>156603972but enough about yourself
>>156604055HOWEVER

>nrl bunker is infecting Union now
LETS FUCKING GO WOBS
Nice vpn to reply to your own posts, tell me why I’m a “cazzie” or is it you have no arguments to actually use and are now telling on yourself?
I'm not your cazzie bro
>>156604062kek done him
lmao he is BOILING
>i..i..im not samefagging thanks for the confirmation.
bit of razzle dazzle this
fucking hell this 'tator is horrendouselectric match though, but the Wobs situational awareness leaves something to be desired
>>156603955based
>>156604049steam coming out of his ears
Now that was full kinetic
this one tilted English lad was probably the bloke that made the awful /rug/ earlier
>>156604197fella thinks theres one SH flag samefagging because its his first time here
>>156604197Yh because I’m the one that’s “tilted” and not the Aussie who through a fit over me posting that these are “glorified friendlies” and starting throwing insults? Just the normal pol-level “ I claim I win and you are seething”
>>156604277ease up turbo, no point getting this worked up in the morning
phwoar that blonde lass would get it
Well, this thread is better than last week at least
I will never understand why this generation of players is so fucking afraid of taking the 3 instead of going for the lineouts constantly, knowing it was the safest option to get the Aussies at try range. Taking the lineouts is never getting a guaranteed try.Also Meafou will get a red
footballs on at 7am mate. you'll fit in more there
Wales are the # 1 team in the northern hemisphere
>>156604239>>156604291You starting calling me a ‘retard’ immediately and are still posting about your ‘win’ and I’m the one that’s seething? No I think you are just a troll that should go back to pol or afl
>>156604295please leave my wife alone
After that first half, just go ahead and give McReight the man of the match now
really proving us wrong here mate
>>156604312im not him, just telling you to chill - wobblies are playing
>>156604297we're halfway through the second match and are barely over 300 mateit's decidedly more shit than last week
>>156604302There was a moment in the last WC after that England v Pumas game where everyone thought it was going to comeback but then nothing.
>>156603707the basin is a kino ground though desu
>>156604331It’s half time
/nrl/ guy here. would rather watch this game than another bludger between the bulldogs and raiders
>JFs can play for ABs when they've been in the country for 5+ yearswhy's that
>>156604315paddy, Alana is... MY WIIIIFE
>>156604379PLEASE watch our sport
>>156604379welcome m8 not all matches can be as electric as WAHS v tiggs was
>>156604364Agreed, but even if they thought at the time the Basin would get closed does the cake tin ever even get filled for ODIs or T20s? Does Wellington even play their t20s there?
>>156604384
>>156604396I will but only because the Broncos' season is over
>>156604379Based /nrl/ chad
broncGODS would beat both these peems
>>156604403yea they do actually pull decent crowds for the ODIscouldn't tell you about Welligton's t20s though as it's not a real sport and there I disregard it
>>156604409tabla x
>>156604409The game's actually at suncorp
>>156604426Based /nrl/ Bongbro
Did the French owe McReigh money or something? He's playing the house down
>majot leage rugby
always thought Suncorp looked like a great groundnever been but
Holy FUCK another game getting ruined by the TMO
Imagine watching this lumbering gay shit when AFL exists, fucking faggots.
>>156604491it's getting ridiculous at this pointthere should be a time or phase limitation on them interrupting and going back, if it's not caught by the field ref it should be play on
>>156604499>shitney vs peelong ill pass
>>156604481its pretty good, yeah
JORGENSEN!
phwoar trysaver that was
>>156604503nrl at least the bunker (the tmo equivalent) can only go back a play. does union have a captain's challenge or nah?
>>156604538it does not
>binned for not rolling awaythats cooked, he was making a clear effort to
>>156604538no mateagree with the going back only a single play though, they might need to make it maybe 5 phases for rugby, or say ~ 30 seconds, but this is madness going back three minutes
The average afl player would smash these fat faggots in a fist fight
why the fuck was that smelly French sub allowed to just be standing in the in-goal area during live play??send the cunt off completely
meredith not doing too bad i think
>>156604335Would one of you Kiwis had even made the thread if the Argie didn't?
Fuck
>>156604597>the average afl player
>>156604597most afl players are too busy being smashed by faggots in a melbourne dunny
dear oh dear frogs putting the foot down now
>>156604614you should learn about the daicos haters and their gay porn photoshop discord m8
c'est fini
easy try but good to see even the french are getting behind jai arrow
what was the straya yellow forcomms here are all confused
>>156604597Kek shut up
>>156604610yes?I'm calling it worse because the traffic is slower, not because of the based Argie's OP btw
>>156604606Cunt is dogshit
>>156604642not clearing the ruck
>>156604642not rolling away at the base of the ruckit was a bollocks call
not one french flag sick of it
>>156604678>>156604680thanks
>>156604670okay yeah that kick was a killer
>>156604649well all the games were a slot earlier this week for some fucked reasonhad to watch the ABs at fucking 3pm
>>156604688hi
>>156604538Trialled it in 2020-21 in Super Rugby and Rainbow Cup (what is now URC) but it wasn't adopted. What a waste.
>>156604702yea what an absolutely fucked decision that was, can't understand why
>>156604649Have you forgotten last week's schizo spam though?
>>156604572>>156604678>>156604680Last time I saw that happen it was a team foul. Was it the case here, and the team was warned beforehand?
>>156604735nah its because the tackle before it was a try saver, so treated as denying a try saving opportunity (if they spun the ball wide)
>>156604735deemed cynical play I think lad, I don't think there was a warning beforehand
>>156604702>>156604722same again next week sadly
>>156604733there had been an entire comfy thread and a half before that retard decided to throw a wobbly thoughbut I see your point
>>156604755>>156604776Okay damn that's harsh then, thanks. Thought I might have missed something earlier, guessed not.
>>156604779grimbo
I don't feel too good ausbros...
Pretty bold second half strategy for australia here: suck really really badly
Australia rugby deserves no joy or success
under pressure? he had no one on him
Wobs doing their best ABs impression with the dogshit handling

>>156604924Harry Wilson looks like a true blue Aussie dog cunt what you on about
kek this muthafucker really named Jelly Bear
>>156604858getting pool'd again is (theoretically) possible
love watching Aussies lose on Aussie TV, there's Goebbels levels of damage control and propaganda trying to polish a turd
>>156604936jas and twopooif they could play properly they would have had a try out of that
I pray this kind of form comes for australias cricket team tooAlso their swimming at the next olympics
>>156604957I think they've been shafted a bit by shitty calls, but I hate their 'tators so I know what you mean kek
:(
Man what a bummer
>all these slipsjesus christ Queeflanders in charge of curating a normal pitch to play on
>30 unanswered points
KEK
>>156604969dictators?
wobblies really just cant handle the Full 80.
>>156604939Against shitters like Hong Kong and Chile? Those niggas are getting 80-100+ on a good day by both Australia and NZ
>>156604939It's NZ, Hong Kong, and Chile in the pool. As dire as things are Wallabies will at least exit the groups as 2nd
>France being strong after 60 minutes with their big forwardswe're all in trouble lads
>>156604992is that unusual?
another pathetic display from the wallaby faggotsthinking they didn't welcome to country hard enough
kek pozfailure
>>156604996meant spectators sorry lad
More like a bogus point
Yes Maloney we know it was 21-12 at half time, you don't have to rub it in every 5 minutes
>>156605029a bogan point
Why the field so shit. Looks third world.
>>156605003>>156605007it's more blind hope. it would be very, very funny
>>156605014Oh yeah! In rugby? Chance in a million!
>>156605029T H I SHIS
>>156605007>>156605003fucking hell, are >we both in the same pool?grim for Chile and HK kek
bizarre to think this team beat South Africa's roid monkeys on their pitch last year
>>156605029gottem
Japan-Ireland predictions?
>>156605039he's just a big Rush fan is all
>>156605057second most exciting match of the pool will be HK v Chile though kek
>>156605068Direland by 20+as much as I'd love to see the based Nips kill the dirty Brits
After seeing this result, the question is, JUST how good is new zealand(Not very good)
castore jerseys are so ugly
I'm old enough to remember when the wallabies were both a good team and popular
>>156605106yea >we're going to get exposed bigly by the Boks
>>156605061French are roided too. You got several 140+kg players on the squad playing 60 minutes.
aus were absolute shit so could've been worse tbqh
>>156605119*meant French are retarded
>>156605113>that weetbix futuristic rugby ad where the crossbar raises to 15m high and the kicker nails it because he ate his weetbix that morningtake me back
who wins in a 5v5 street scrap between 5 Afrikaaner farmers and 5 Polynesian uces
where can I watch the next game without having to pay? get fucked if I'm going to watch the roosters (wannabe french) pump parra after that. I'd rather watch Ireland pump Japan.
>>156605113I used to hate playing you cunts with that faggot george gregan
>>156605113i remember there being some australian comedy where one of the characters wore a wallabies shirt, supposedly reflective of union being ahead of league temporarily. but i don't remember what the comedy was called.
>>156605113>Eales>Gregan>Larkham>Burkesome genuine class and likeable players back in the daythe nail in the coffin was the 2011 semi final though I reckon
>>156605171afrikaaners are only good with a gun. ponces can't fight for shit.
>>156605171boongas are weak as piss, just hard to take down due to their sheer size
>>156605171afrikaaners
>>156605173gregan was a chirpy little bugger
>>156605119>that flag>that postwhich saffa player is this
>>156605057It's a pretty dire draw, and you probably want to exit the pool as 2nd. If you win pool A, you face Springboks in the quarters and probably France in the semis.If you're runner up pool A, you either face England or Ireland in the quarters - and if it's Ireland, you get a free pass to the semis.
>>156605198thisyou show any bit of fight or back them down and they fold like deck chairs
it made me seethe at the time but I would love to see Aussie with a team as capable and confident as Gregans>FOUR MORE YEARS BOYSWallabies side - they were good
>>156605218>and if it's Ireland, you get a free pass to the semiskek GOTTEM
>>156605106Honestly can't tell. Last week they were deliberately running the ball even from their own 22. This week, they took the foot off the gas in the last quarter. Are they purposely holding back all their cards? Or are they just struggling past the French. Let's see if the Irish force them to be honest.
>>156605180i think afl killed union not league by becoming another alternative to league, afls growth in nsw and qld has coincided with the decline of union whereas league is more popular than ever
>>156605247unfortunately all the mongrels play leaguewallabies need a bit of mongrel to fire them up again
>>156605283so long as aus rugby continues to recruit from private schools, mongrel will be the last thing you get from any future wallaby
>>156605277afl and soccer. soccer has been a go to kids club sport for a while now. union getting up its arse about private school pathways doesn't help, but soccer chews into even that middle class demographic
>>156605277Mate it's only a couple of schools here that funnel the talent to union. Afl has nothing to do with it. It's union's own stereotype that hurts it
>>156605275reckon the ABs will want to pump the Irish and humiliate them if at all possible, so we'll probably see their true formthey love sticking it to the potato hoarders these days
>>156605303>>156605308Why only recruit from private schools anyway? Where's all the grassroots work now that finances are back in the black?
>>156605335its a cultural thing
> implying private school people are "pussies"no, its the woketards
>>156605335>Why only recruit from private schools anyway?football went to the dogs and the working class fucked off to league, union was meant to be riff-raff free.
>>156605380you've got no idea what 'mongrel' means if that's your takeaway.
>>156596932keKkkdone him
bonjour Australie
what time is nips vs potato? feeling sleepy
>>15660553413 bings you can do it lad push through

where are all our british isle frens
>>156605621range banned from too much racism in the divegrass match threads
>>156605591Australian women will birth my sons
>>156605333They better. Look at the ABs today in that 3rd quarter - they can really run riot against oppositions and look magnificent while doing it. If that crappy 4th quarter showing was not a purpose 4D chess move, then they need an attitude check.
where can I stream this stuff for free
where did they dig up this fishwife from?
oh hell yeah they're playing my favourite showtune
>>156605663Australian women are as bad as the wallabies so your loss
AWFUL singingAWFUL
It's so soulless when some middling player breaks a crazy record like all time try scorer for the allblacks because they grind the stats out during this nothing/slop era, You're telling me will fucking jordon is better than howlett or cullen
>>156605722vpn to the UK where it's free on ITV,
Better see some nippon kino
>>156605751I don't remember enough about Howlett, but no one's going to say Jordan's anywhere at Cullen's level. The only modern AB fullback that can compare to Cullen is Ben Smith
GONE GOTTEM HAHAHAHAHA

>>156605751Cully was in a league of his own, but yes I would say Jordan is as good as Dougie, maybe even a touch better at finishingbetter defender too

Man the Frogs really BTFO the Wallies after half time
