Wasn’t that in Melbourne though? To their credit the Tahs have become a bogey team for the crusadists.

Neither but I believe they have a very liberal approach to debt and a more top heavy expense structure.

The Stan scoreboard is wrong or am I crazy?

In saying that they’ve dropped Smith who was on the bubble previously. Never thought Smith would ever get dropped.

I guess they’re backing the incumbents seeing as we are the defending champs which is all good until we lose. It certainly feels like it should be his time right now just like it was for Warner.

There’s a Rugby Championship, EOYT, and a full Super season between Wales and the Lions and I think a squad place on the EOYT would not be out of place at all but I do struggle to see how he’ll be contending for starting 10 by the time Lions comes around frankly.

I actually agree with that latter part but couldn’t bear seeing him over exposed too early and get spat out the other end. No bad thing to hold on to his development a little longer and let him bed down his game.

I can't read the article but I'm guessing that offer would not include Lions?

I don’t follow this stuff closely enough to know why next year is a stinker. 12 months is such a long time for teenagers who will grow so much both physically and mentally. Is that really enough of a justification for a feeding frenzy this year especially when several of the QBs have very...

Based on previous Schmidt teams I think he will give Lolesio first crack. Schmidt seemed to prefer a ten who could implement a detailed plan reliably with Ireland though he may take a different approach here. I’d say Lolesio has demonstrated he can cope with extensive instruction better than...

This is interesting because I see it totally the reverse. Holloway’s shifting rocks but I see Swinton especially as so much more dynamic. Hanigan is such a better player now than when he was selected for the Wallabies ironically. Swinton without the brain fades (which has been the case so far...

BR, I'm not saying Wright played poorly yesterday at all. That level of risk taking was perfect for Super but will not translate to tests. I know this because he's played four consecutive years for the Wallabies and been dropped out of the squad four consecutive times.

I don’t think Wright is any where near getting the brain explosions out of his game. I’d love him for the Reds but against the Canes he chanced it and fucked up probably 5 times and the Canes didn’t make him pay once. Against a top 10 test team they would definitely have.

I think the Reds coaches feel they need some size in an otherwise very small backline, especially with no Petaia, so they pick Vunivalu. He isn't actually giving the backline any decent size given he only ever uses it in the pick and roll other than when he caught that amazing high ball but then...

Because I am totally heartbroken I want to focus on the positives. Toomaga-Allen was absolutely fantastic for us around the park tonight. His fitness and size combination is what we've needed since Tupou got injured. Tim Ryan. Obviously. Can't teach what them legs do. Defended quite well for...
