I feel like some of those attacking stats would have blown out late in the game, when the Reds started finding space around the ruck, was otherwise pretty tight. Reds struggled to make metres in contact until late in the game, Tahs forwards really aimed up until then.

The Stan Sport interface on live sport has always been surprisingly good, easy to move around, and with the "skip intro/half time" options on replay. And a quick way to toggle between simultaneous live games. It's miles ahead of some others.

Unless they're also F1 or EPL fans.

Creighton and Foketi dropped entirely, bit of a surprise to see Walton preferred at 12 over Foketi. Redhead Edmed vs Reds, like it though. Great to see Porecki and Lee-Warner back.

Yes, I'd be surprised if RA didn't talk to him - even more surprised if his agent didn't initiate that conversation. Easy for Eddie to say "yeah mate, he'd be a Wallaby now" when he's no longer responsible for the negotiations. Eddie's big on the plans he had for restructuring rugby in...

Which led to NSW and ACT being taken over by RA, you OK with that for QLD too then?

And passes early enough to shrug off McKenzie, staying on his feet to support. Nice work.

Off-topic, but this would have been one of the benefits of an ANZAC Day Bledisloe - it would have created another narrative to generate interest in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). NRL does this really well with State of Origin - there's a few weeks when all the excitement is about the start of the season, then as soon as...

Urgh, stop it. I've humiliated myself.

You make good points, and if this wasn't social media, I'd have to admit my calculations were incorrect.

That's some great info. Those are some big changes to scrum and lineout timing. But it does suggest we've found somewhere new to waste time. If you have 8.8 tries per game and conversions are happening 14 sec faster, that's 2 min 3 sec saved. Plus, even if it was just 5 scrums a game, and 19...

Yeah, I'm not suggesting a continuous declaration of everyone's conflicts of interest, no need for that. The Rogers-Levi one just stood out for me. I actually think it's to the show's benefit that the participants have strong ties to rugby admin, it's just reasonable to acknowledge those in some...

Amazing - should be in all threads.

Mat Rogers is always interesting, has some genuinely different and useful perspectives, but he was asked on Inside Line this week if he'd pick Maddie Levi in the Wallaroos - c'mon, surely someone on that program has to point out that he's her manager.

It'd be an awesome experience, but I've always felt like American football would be a pretty dull game to play professionally - training must be just endless repetition of route-running and blocking.
