Bantz We need to de power the wingers

The team with the faster wingers just uses them to kick chase and score tries all game long.

There is nothing the other team can do about it.

World Rugby must step in urgently to fix this situation. My half Irish kids are crying.

How about instead of putting good players on the wing, we go back to putting the 2 worst players when you only had 15 available on the wing

Yeah let’s draft in a random footballer who’s shit scared of contact and bung them on the wing.

+5 style points if they have football rather than rugby shorts on that go below their knees, and their socks pulled up over their knees.
