I was afraid we'd take the emphasis off Fez!

Re: Stephen Ferris Retires
Really disappointed for Fez. Only knew how to play one way - like a beast. Big loss to Ireland/Ulster. Unfortunately though, I'm sure everyone has had enough time to get used to not having him.
I wonder if he had gone to Japan how he would have gotten on? Good luck in the future.

Re: Stephen Ferris Retires
I was looking at an interview with Jacque Fourie and he was saying that the Japanese game was Very fast and was more about skill & offloads rather than banging it up the middle. I dunno how that would have suited him, it probably would just have been a retirement fund.Peg Leg wrote:Really disappointed for Fez. Only knew how to play one way - like a beast.

I overheard some American Todd Clever fan talking about the skill of Japanese rugby, how it's all about avoiding contact......good idea when you have the ball....ichabodscrane wrote:I was looking at an interview with Jacque Fourie and he was saying that the Japanese game was Very fast and was more about skill & offloads rather than banging it up the middle.

No I think he'd have gotten on fine there. Elsom and Messam both did stints there didn't they?
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014
