We's getting humped.

What are people's opinions on the on field yellow given to the South African Loosehead in the U20s game? I thought that was a clear as day red from a single viewing, and TMO seemed to agree. Does the TMO have the capacity to give an on field red rather than an upgraded one?

Putting aside the Nightclub incident, there WAS clearly a RSA influence on Wessels and (to likely a lesser extent) Foote's player recruitment and retention in sticking with 6'2" Meakes, 6'3" Hodge, 6'2" English and 6'4" Magnay as centers and pushing out the 5'10" Tuipulotu and Paisami.

Absolutely nothing to do with anything else 100%. South African Coaches SMH

The timing on Pieretto is interesting with Glasgow about to embark on an RSA tour with fellow reserve tighthead Murphy Walker unsighted at senior level this season. Perhaps the "early" release of Mosese has played a part?

If this was always logistically possible and some change behind the scenes it's pretty abysmal that it's taken this long.

That's a straight red wtf was the Baby Bokke thinking. EDIT: One look and you see direct shoulder on head, zero mitigation, player in a vulnerable position and then the referee produced a yellow. Classic SH ref

As per standard for Union in Australia, it seems like the most tumultuous outcome moving forward. Another 60 days of shit it seems.

Ah well, 4, 4 and a half hours and we'll know.

Games like that make me think Talataiana will be rushed back for the tournament, even if he's on 0 gametime. This group looked to be missing someone like him.

Looked very very small out there.

Looks like an awesome night for rugby. Classic winter stuff.

Makes sense. No Pacific Nations that would incentivise an IRB broadcast, no Japanese involvement, poor broadcasting times for any European network.

Big big big loss, probably the worst of the non-halves positions. Paper thin forward depth outside the front row at the moment. Maiava the only contracted player outside the 23. Not that he's not up to it if required, but a second injury would means paying money we don't have to get Herbert...

REBELS (1-15): Matt Gibbon, Alex Mafi, Sam Talakai (c), Tuaina Taii Tualima, Josh Canham, Josh Kemeny, Maciu Nabolakasi, Vaiolini Ekuasi, Ryan Louwrens, Carter Gordon, Darby Lancaster, David Feliuai, Filipo Daugunu, Lachie Anderson, Andrew Kellaway RESERVES: Jordan Uelese, Isaac Kailea, Taniela...

I am (by a bees dick) part of that graph back in 2010 & 2011. I'm definitely not the worlds best indicator here, I had both the full Foxtel Package via my folks and a lot of [redacted] figured out. But 2012 is a super interesting year from a FTA perspective, as a) Channel 7 no longer had...

I dunno. I feel it wouldn't be difficult for "Manly Amateur Rugby Football Club" to be formed, have a 4-3 Subbies lineup and then the 2-1 Manly RFC plays "Premier Rugby". Same colours, same ground, same training sessions, just SRU taking itself a little more seriously.

I've been pretty happy with his performances, but from an administration POV it's probably been cheaper for the Rebels to have Nabolakasi as the EPS player and not being required to pay for relocation etc. for Herbert, even if you'd get 15-20% more out of him as an individual.

Will encourage everyone to get out and watch the local clubs tomorrow first and foremost: But Wests vs Bond looks to be a good one to watch on the Bye week: Eloff, Dobbins, Maiava, Mason, Lebron Naea and the Vaihu brothers named in the Doggies squad: while Lukas Ripley is playing for Bond.
