    No, I'm not saying that...it's just that I didn't see much from him is all...I just thought SOB outshone him in workrate and in go forward ball

    They are asked to carry out different roles.
    Being top tackler means your workrate is right up there... And 15 meters carring in the tight is a good return

    You questioned Conan's work rate and thought he didn't have a great game. You asked for stats.

    Stats were provided that showed you were wrong.

    And then you hand waved the stats saying that SOB had a bigger work rate whilst ignoring POM.

    Just for the sake of completion, Conan out tackled SOB as well. And although SOB carried for an extra seven metres, he took an extra seven carries to do so.

    I said thru the game that POM and SOB were much more apparent that Conan...steals...lineout work etc so that's one lie debunked.
    Anyone that believes Conan outplayed SOB is fooling themselves and nobody else I'm afraid

    If he's cited you'll have made a fair point.

    You only get cited for red card offences. That's why Tuilagi wasn't cited last week for his hit on Stockdale.

    I'm not saying that Conan outplayed SOB. I'm saying that if stats are something you judge a performance by, which you clearly do by asking for them, then you shouldn't be ****ting all over his performance.

    I'm not crapping in his performance...I just didn't see it as you did...is that clear enough...as far as stand out performances...it wasn't in the top 8 of the team... apologise if I missed it

    When did I say he outperformed SOB?

    I have no reason to doubt your inability to see a workhorse in action. I just don't understand how you maintain that position after you've been proven wrong?

    POM and SOB were better. But Conan still had an excellent game.

    You can't have the most tackles in a game and not be top 8. That's madness.

    I wouldn’t bother if I were you. I think they’ve forgotten what they were even arguing. It’s happened before. They’ll disappear for a while and make a new account with a hilarious name

    Ah now jaysus will you stop with last year. You can go back to any players performance in any another game to sh*t on another player.

    Back to Murray.

    Is there something physically wrong with him or is it all in his head? Poor decision making you could put down to the latter but his passing is slow and his kicking inaccurate. That seems to me that there's something physically wrong with him.

    Basically...I think Conan is not the answer internationally...I think he'll get walloped against Wales...if he proves me wrong... lovely!!!! I'll freely say so ..but I just think he's lacking at the very highest level... that's all...will let you all eulogize about him now, tnx
    :)
