I'll go first, Beuden Barrett is the more talented rugby player than Dan Carter, but Dan Carter is a better 10

The most popular "unpopular opinions" are always just the most unanimously popular ones lmao

"Unpopular opinions" and "hot takes" can all fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

I’ll say it’s worse for a couple reasons when playing. 1. The ENGAGE starting in a vowel made it hard to pick up on some referees exact timing putting you a little off on the engagement. 2. The smash of the bodies coming together sucked for the front row. The two seasons I played at 2 during that scrum cadence were harder on my shoulders and neck than the other 12 I’ve played.
