The couch is looking a little worse for wear this week; it's the road to Baltimore week 3 and we're stepping into the shark Tank that is Durban to see what Nonu can do against his old teammates.
Tocco's trashy Europeaness gets the moment it deserves, Jones has to eat his words about just how young Reuben Love is and should he even be at 10, the TMO gets a stern talking to and a 44 year old man shows up for a Haka that'll put a tear in an eye. His first touch looks good enough to have Jones convinced one more season just may be fine. Barb Jones shows up at the end uninvited, there are a few big hits and Tocco spouts off some hot takes about benching your starters.
Cold beer in hand, good people to argue with, confidently incorrect takes you've always loved. Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you'll like it here.
