You don’t give much weight to the execution of basic skills? Rugby is a sport where 79 minutes of excellent play can absolutely be undone by one poor mistake. That’s the nature of competition.

Slipper had more Wallaby caps by the end of his first pro year than he had reds caps. I’m backing him.

That’s interesting. Is he hurt? He is apparently an incredible trainer but might be the sort of guy who can switch off when not in camp.

Hard to drop Daugunu on form but if Koroibete is still as good as he was then it’s one of those tough choices I suppose. Probably prefer putting Kellaway to the back with both Daugunu and Koroibete on wings. I don’t think you lose heaps of kicking that way to be frank.

Against Bokke maybe you go without a traditional 7? Few lock players could be moved to 6 or Cale, Wilson, Valetini.

I know this is 7s but Dupont is seriously staking a GOAT of rugby claim. Awesome scenes for France in Paris.

That’s gutting for the boys. Not sure we could say Aus deserved a medal but can’t help feeling that devastation.

I think our attacking play is not quite as poor as some are making out. The reality is Sevens has become a significantly more technical and forward oriented game. Fiji struggle a bit with that, especially around the breakdown so hopefully we have a decent shot against them.

I must confess, I’m but a Reds fan attempting to put the mocker on you light blue people.

Planet Rugby also now reporting the deal is already signed for Tupou. Tahs now have to be favourites for the best placed Aus team surely.

Awesome result considering. Commentator saying that were it not for their headphones they wouldn’t be able to hear themselves such was the rain. Really hope that these tour matches go a long way to building an exceptional org culture.

He probably feels that it is all of us who are not ok

Could you really build a team around a guy who has admitted to being 50/50 as to whether he even wants to play for us? And who admitted he didn’t want the responsibility as captain? He’s in the best club XV right now for sure but if he’s not interested then he’s not interested.

I recall these pages making mention of the fact that Schmidt specifically turned down a mid-season camp with the Super players because he didn’t see the value. It’s probably not a million miles away from the truth. He’s also given the players time after Super and after Wales/Georgia to rest...

You haven’t answered my question. Are you a troll? No one is giving Lancaster a free pass for that but remind me how Wright was working to space:

And in your opinion Wright was ‘working to space’. Looked like jogging to the ball to me. Are you a troll?

You don’t think the fullback needs to run hard to cover at the back? The position is called fullback. It was a turnover so everyone’s in the wrong spot but if you’re telling me the fullback doesn’t need to run for that and it’s actually solely the tight wingers problem then I think you’re...

Somewhat surprising that China and Japan don’t have more pull but I guess there can only be one numero uno. It’s a shame for RA because it’s golden exposure. Especially for the women, there’s just nothing that is nearly as cool in the WAFL or NRLW. In saying that, if they can get a gold medal...

3 McReight 2 Valetini 1 McDermott

Part of the discussion the ref had when reviewing the replays was whether 'it was a realistic attempt'. I'd argue if you are the last person to actually touch the ball then it was realistic. Not saying it's not a card but that coupled with the Georgia player essentially putting his head directly...
