Strange. Pocock handled this well I thought. A word to the ref without finger pointing or evocative accusations at the time. ARU also seemed to have handled this well. If they are serious about stamping out homophobia, they will need to make examples of those who breach the standards. Can't...

Great game. Both sides went hard for the full 80. Tahs defence was too good. Brumbies had lots of opportunities but only got the early try after some weak tahs defence. Even though tahs had a 10 point lead, the brumbies seemed within reach until the last breakout try. Our scrum had a few...

JdV's injury sounds bad. I did the same thing 15 years ago and my knee still isn't the same. I hope he can recover though, would be pity if we don't see him at the RWC next year

I reckon foley is a safe option. Very consistent, rarely terrible and you can base a game around him if you have strike players from 11 to 15. I can understand why cheika persists with him. Personaly though, I reckon quade is our 10 for the RWC and that foley will be the perfect bench option...

I'll miss the Shute shield. Unfortunately it was inevitable given crowd and audience numbers. We only have ourselves to blame.

Emuarse, it could also mean the rankings are wrong. Our game plan (like the tahs from earlier in the year), is predicated on getting front foot ball. This comes from making the extra metre with ball in hand, getting quick recycles and catching the opposition on or behind the gain line in...

3 Fainga'a 2 Mcalman 1 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

Full time. Congrats France. Deserved win, albeit that it was thrilling last 10. We were pretty poor across the field plus we should have brought on more subs earlier. I reckon Fainga'a was about our best forward and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) our best back. Probably the worst game from izzy in gold, why can't he be...

Where is our fullback for these high balls?

23k is even less than the shute shield ratings isn't it, and shute shield is telecast while a large portion of rugby watchers are on the field. From little things big things grow and all that, but heres hoping it better next year. On the C10 reports, fantatistic if its true. I would suggets...

3 hooper 2 folau 1 kuridrani

I think her profile has disappeared from the smh. Doesn't look good

Players know who plays well and who doesn't, plus Izzy won by a big margin. Good on him.

The ARU has to investigate. The allegations relate to work place health and saftey for its employees. If they don't, they leave themselves open to investigation and sanction by Workcover. Patston doesn't have to participate in the Kurtley inquiry, but it is possible for her to bring a case...

BR, I'm not sure we disgaree on Beale - my key point is that the Beale issue needs to be isolated and dealt with quickly (on its own merits). On the latter, our last two Wobb coahes have been successful provincial coaches. Actually, all of our last 5 Wobb coaches have been successful...

3 TK 2 Slipper 1 Kepu

A few thoughts, on all this mess Firstly Beale should answer to the charges against him. They are serious. If proved (even if only have proved), he will be subject to sanction. The sanction could be termination, but the ARU might find other sanctions appropriate such as an apology, a fine...

I'm gutted. It was rafferties rules there in the last 5 mins, we should have put bodies in every ball. Fuck me, we can't play much better that but still can't win.
