Re-reading my post, it seems like I am fairly calm. I’m not. I’m frustrated as hell, why the fuck did he do that.

Prior lost that at the end by slowing the ball down as much as possible ten meters out. I don’t understand why any half back would ever do that. Genia was also occasionally guilty of doing the same thing. But then he would pull out some completely out-of-the-arse play to justify (be forgiven...

Campbell one of the few players putting a good hand up.

God, Tuttle is having a ‘mare. Has he been the last 5 errors (and he only just came on)

End of the day, the main thing the Tahs need is a proper defence coach. I think they were the the top scorer among the Aussie teams in the TT. They were scoring enough points that you would have expected them to, at least, have won a couple of games. But letting in 8 tries a game on average is...

I can understand and even agree with the logic behind it. The game should be played for 80+ minutes, and cynically trying to run down the last few minutes is a semi-penalisable offence, ie. the slightest indiscretion will be penalised.

i think it has been a refereeing directive for quite some years. As soon as a team tries run down the clock, they have to do it perfectly, as even the smallest infringement will pinged.

The first half was superb, and I had the same thought, kiwi-esque in the way they managed to play an off-loading game, while still maintaining possession, not losing the ball in contact. But I wouldn’t say they didn’t play for the full 80, quite the opposite. The Chiefs beat the Crusaders and...

This weekend is showing there is a gulf between the Brumbies and Reds, and the Rebels and Waratahs.

That was a really impressive performance from Boys. I thought this would be a one sided competition after the Brumbies lost to NZ’s worst team at home, and playing NZ’s top team away. And the first 50 minutes was one sided, just not the way I’d expected. And they showed true guts to hold out...

Rebels and Willy G are a bit like the Wallabies and Campese in the 80’s. The Rebels are as good as Genia is playing. He’s not having the best night tonight. On the other hand, Koroibete is showing that when he doesn’t do anything stupid, he’s actually quite good.

Koroibete had a great game before injured. So far the Aussie POM. FF (Folau Fainga'a) had a bit of a shocker. Hopefully he does better in the second half.

I can't say I was glad the French scored at the end, I wasn't. But I couldn't help but think we deserved that. In a barbaa's game where you are suppose to err on the side of playing attacking rugby, with 5 minutes left and being 4 points behind, we decided to take the 3 point option, basically...

I’ll keep saying this on multiple forums, but we don’t have any choice, we have to select overseas players going forward. After the WC the majority of our first choice Wallabies will be playing overseas. It’s niave to believe that French clubs aren’t approaching every potential Wallaby and...

And my basic comment is that if we don't actually start selecting overseas players we drop to 6-8 or maybe lower in 2016-2017
