Good plan. When she tells you the kids need entertaining but the autumn internationals are on and for the forth week in a row you really just want to watch 3 games of rugby back to back … High Stakes life, innit?

In 2018. Obviously Ronaldo has three more world cups in him so will put the record out of sight when he wins his 350th cap in 2034, where eve that’s due to be played

Nope. I started with Roger Milla (42), beaten by Colombia’s Faryd Mondragón in 2014 and then Egypt’s Essam El Hadary (45 and 161 days)

We may have to reassess the Lions in the light of how dreadful Aus are. Sheehan’s almost skipped the Autumn, and looks a bit off the pace (he’s perhaps jot benefitted from so little URC game time this autumn). He may be suffering from setting ridiculously high standards over the last 2/3 years

He’s no one’s cup of tea but there is another English back rower who is never injured, is an almost guaranteed starter and rarely seems to be far from the player of the match nomination every time he plays and that’s Ben Earl.

Suaalii surely had his breakthrough last year, and has regressed since then.
I think Holland is most likely to be the biggest of dogs in the future from this list but I’d also have had Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu on the list.
