I firmly believe that any player that gets a mullet gets about 5-7% extra skills. I might have to incorporate that wingers with scrumcaps gets something extra as well
@@miguelberthet6723 Yeah the Argentine loose forwards are brilliant! I also think Australia's new loose forward combos get overlooked. Give them a few more games where they win and I'd rate them just as highly.
Can we appreciate the fact that Roigard came back from a very gruesome injury, was not 100% and absolutely outplayed Dupont in the French game. He's one hell of a talent and he's still very, very young.
As a south African, I think this Roigard kid will surpass Dupont as a player. He has a bigger boot and just as threatening with ball in hand. Although Grant is the best but that's just my bias 😅😅
wot ? Roigard was outstanding, to me Dupond didn't score a try but i think he was better, the orchestral play he put on with the forwards shows why France won. I mean yeah i'm french and i'm biaised but not on this one.
@@brunolopez8614As a neutral fan, Cam Roiguard was definitely better between the two. I have no clue what game you were watching. Dupont did really nothing that game and couldn't get going because Roiguard was all over him.
@@brunolopez8614I think you're just incredibly biased because Roigard comprehensively outplayed him. You don't have to lie in order to defend Dupont. I think he's an incredible player and France absolutely deserved the win but Roigard was probably the best player on the pitch until he got subbed 🙍
As a Kiwi growing up in the 80s and 90s, I HATED the Australian team so much. They were so good and often would pip the All Blacks. So, it's strange for me to say, but I'm so unbelievably happy they're looking in-form again! They completely dominated Wales. I know Wales aren't in a good place but they're still professionals playing for one of the more well-known rugby nations.
He's been in extra good form this tour. I think him at 12 and a more experienced Suaalihi at 13, that's such a dangerous midfield! Exciting times for Australia. I just wish we'd get over the Ioane at centre experiment. It doesn't work.
@PatstarDeluxe agreed, not only does the midfield miss something with him there you also lose his potential impact on the wing. I hope Proctor gets some more game time soon
@freetimefoster He needs to go back to the wing. I know many wouldn't agree with me, but I think Reece is a good player. But with Ioane on the wing, you get the same speed AND a better defender than Reece. And then you also free up a space in the midfield. I agree abiut Proctor. But I'm also excited by Lam and Tupea. I even think those 2 would make a great regular combo. Otherwise, I've always been a fan boy, I'd go for ALB at centre. Basically, anyone but Ioane.
I haven't seen anyone talk about how the All Blacks had an obvious keep the ball in hand strategy. There were barely any kicks. Then they seemed to change this approach in the 2nd half, even before Ratima came on. Maybe they should've stuck to that gameplan?
@@hansdedipper2912He must have been as I was at the Scotland match and pretty certain that I saw both Fagerson brothers sitting in the stand. To have got into a team of the week from there is some feat
One thing that should be taken into consideration is the quality of the 0pp0sition..its easy to shine when you beat a team by 40 or playing 2nd tier or low ranked team. Etsabet, Kolisie, Wiese, deAendeall brilliant
@@joepunk90No. Penaud and LBB are clearly our starters now. Villière never got back to his best after his injury, Lebel is solid but was never that impressive for France. The only threat for LBB would be Théo Attisogbé, really talented and promising winger (an Olympic champion too).
@@teproc4740 i agree with almost everything u wrote except for that fact that Theo wasn't olympics champ , just under 20 world champ in 2023😎 keep an eye on Mousques , the young Bayonne winger, only 19 , he's got talent even if he's far from competing for a spot on the team but the talent is there
Pretty much agree with all of these picks. Tom Wright...where the hell was he before? I don't remember him having a huge impact in the Rugby Championship. It feels like if we were playing that particular tournament again now, the Wallabies would be in a chance to win it...
Man, Roigard is good! On the amount of Aussies, I think Wales made them look good. List is a bit light on French players, but I guess you can nitpick anything.
Mmmhmmm, i might only agree with Vincent Koch in your fwds. I'm a massive fan if his so kinda biased. Maybe i should've watched Italy Georgia... Backline, you've probably nailed it. Great to see Roigard and Ringrose back on the field and putting in those performances
Great job woohoo gonna ensure our teams downunder will not only challenge each other but every team in the northern hemisphere come next World Cup AB Wallaby final
very balanced as usual. No pumas...lol...my schadenfreude is showing. Although I was kinda hoping for another SH sweep. Have you ever thought of doing rugby shorts for youtube Mark?
Man I'm so excited for what the future holds for Los Pumas. They are gonna be a powerhouse and dominate rugby for years. The players they are currently producing are world class. Those loosies must eat at least 4 steaks pre game. The amount of tackles and intensity is scary. Their backs are also lightning quick. Argentinas player pool is not as big as other countries and rugby is mostly amateur in Argentina and yet....just look what they are producing from minimum resources. World class players. They are gonna win the World Cup soon. Only a matter of time.
@NicolasFernandez-tc5xp why is it sad? 🤔 Rugby is amateur in Argentina. Majority of Argentines like football ⚽️ and some think rugby is played by cannibals which is hilarious btw 🤣 its actually the opposite. Football is played by hooligans, rugby is played by gentlemen. Just look at all the hate comments when the Cougars play. "The only pumas i know is Diego's puma shoes" I've seen this comment a million times. That's actually sad.
In what way? Roigard performed better against France than Grant did against England. I love Grant Williams aswell and think he's easily SAs best halfback.

Pulling roigard when playing like that is insane , why?will jordan doesnt have the gas all gsme playing 15 legs looked heavy second half. Dmac 15 beaudie 10 caleb joride, time for ALB to go , proctor time on bench
I notice you give preference to players who excelled against weak opposition. You should judge the same players against strong opposition and they will just disappear.
Those scrumcap wingers man there has to be some magical powers in those scrumcaps cause boy those wingers are good
Kolbe 😁😁
Power Rangers.
I firmly believe that any player that gets a mullet gets about 5-7% extra skills. I might have to incorporate that wingers with scrumcaps gets something extra as well
I think Cheslin started a fashion!
@@gondil07nooooooo please no mullets!😅
Argentinas loose forwards are monsters. The amount of tackles from Gonzalez, Oviedo and Rubiola is ridiculous.
This is just the beginning. Once Kremer comes back.
FC, can go Kremer, Rubiolo at locks.
JMG, Matera and Oviedo at 8.
Future of Argentina looks bright
@@miguelberthet6723 Yeah the Argentine loose forwards are brilliant! I also think Australia's new loose forward combos get overlooked. Give them a few more games where they win and I'd rate them just as highly.
I had to double-take that 30 tackles from jalagonia stat. Thats herculean!

No one else talking about Vincent Kochs impact from the bench I rate you for that 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Even filling in at loosehead no less
Tom Wright is looking really good australia are back
Makes the Lions tour next year alot more interesting now
So happy, brilliant to have Australia back 🎉
Tom Wright is on form
Deadly from the back finds space on the counter easily.
As a Kiwi growing up in the 80s and 90s, I HATED the Australian team so much. They were so good and often would pip the All Blacks.

Looking forward to Scotland v Australia next week. It could be good.
Game of the entire Autumn Nations series, I think!
Australian here
Absolutely shitting it against Scotland and Ireland
Have faith..nobody gave them a chance agianst England..but agianst Ireland I understand your worry@@jormundgandr88
After next week, you should do a team of the year based on your teams of the week, and overall stats.
Nick frost was amazing 🤩
I agree 100% with your complete selection.
Kolbe is king
Holy crap! 30 from 33 tackles is just insane!
I haven't seen anyone talk about how the All Blacks had an obvious keep the ball in hand strategy. There were barely any kicks.
Then they seemed to change this approach in the 2nd half, even before Ratima came on. Maybe they should've stuck to that gameplan?
They were fatigued in second half
@MU-TH-UR From running it up so much? That makes sense actually.
Wright is fair. Niniashvili’s break and offload should have it’s own place
Should give PSDT at least 10 extra meters for the "slide" when he scored the try
He is actually friggin fast...
A very diplomatic team of the week from a Kiwi
You must have watched different game from rest of us.😅 Fagerson,French hooker and Williams AB front row for a start😊
You watching the game on your microwave again 😂

Roigard is the best 9 in NZ and probably 2nd best in the world right now.
LBB on the wing for France was huge! The positioning and dedication as well as the pace. Penaud is going to have to fight for that spot back!
Penaud is 14 , LBB is 11 so he won't have to worry much....Villiere is past his best and he's a goner for sure
@@bipper64 Good point.
Are there any otheer wingers you think that wwould be slected before LBB now?

Really loving this wallabies team
Rogers shining light from wales
I think Tom Rogers looked fantastic for Wales. Almost thought he might make it in to your team, despite the absolute pasting.
What's a Two Cents Rugby team of the week without PSDT 😂
For Context Lamb Menoncello and Negri had impressive stats
Outve curiosity was just wondering which app/website you use for your stats ?
Big fan love the content

Man, Roigard is good!

List is a bit light on French players, but I guess you can nitpick anything.
Please make a NH XV team vs a SH XV team. Arrange the match for us on a neutral venue. And I will buy you a dozen beers and 4 tickets.
Been wishing for this for YEARS‼️
The only neutral venue will be with the equator running through the halfway line or perhaps on a ship in international waters.
@@chriswrightzaf Ecuador sounds about Right
Northern hemisphere vs southern hemisphere. Let’s make it happen.

Can’t fault your picks. And the extra players per team mentioned.
Kolbe best player in the world 🙌🙌
certainly not
PSDT for WPotY

When there is a Lelo but no Welshman to be seen
You love Pieter Du Toit lol always in your team
Can you blame him? 😂😂 His presence alone makes a glaring difference in that bok team
Not really it's the player that always puts himself there 😂 big difference
What's not to love?! 😂
Pieter Stef Du Toit is a best in world player, that’s why! He would be in any team.
J.Bathi performance against Portugal was better than Tamaiti's vs France?
A fair TOTW here, but yeah you really starting to have PTSD over PSDT in there. 😅

Tamaiti must have gone close..
Barry has extreme gas, nz needs a gas winger
Why was Cam Roigard subbed? That is where the ABs lost the game.
Where do you see your stats
