It's still inconsistent with both SA and NZ KOB, both of whom are also in contention in the 7s at the Olympics.

I have seen 1 August mentioned. Really is a bit late if true.

Miss a tackle against the Fijians and it's good night nurse. Late in the first half, leading 7 - 0, hard on attack on the Fiji line, Gonzales misses one tackle and the Fijians run away for a length of the field try. In the second half, Malouf misses a tackle out wide and it's immediately try...

Continuing on the theme of overseas based players who might be in contention for the Wallabies during TRC and EOYT, Skelton, Koroibete and Kerevi (if fit) are obvious, but I think any of Sio, Simone and Jack Maddocks would offer value if we're running short in their respective positions (and if...

Thanks TSR. While I accept your argument as being legitimate, the subsequent penalty was in a much more favourable position for our kicker. There is no certainty that Ben Donaldson, in the wind, would have kicked the penalty from the original spot, and probably more certainty that he would have...

The context being that he had the ball in his hands, not having to wait for it to be reluctantly handed over by the other side, and that most of the Georgian side was offside and in no hurry to get back onside and actively participate in a quick restart to the game. Clearly, the referee had the...

Just on a never-ending quest for consistency, Cheese.

Lots of support for the quick tap and the need for referees to police the offside in defence when the tap is taken, but so much criticism of Tom Wright when he takes it and wins a penalty while the Wallabies almost, and should have, scored from the move. I know Tom often threatens to take the...

That's another strong team with few changes from the Wales game. Four ex-Rebels in the side.

Another Hooper - Tom. Seems to be a name that goes with success, hey?

What does this mean?

Retired from Super Rugby.

Nothing new Matw.

Can that exact comment also be made in the situation had Wright gained possession? Lancaster would not have been in position to support as he was just jogging back?

Yeah, like Swinton's late high hit against the Force player last year? Missed by the on field officials that day. I'm not sure now if it was picked up by the TMO or cited after the game. But shows the need for the extra pair of eyes to pick up foul play.

Or Corey Toole if he comes back as quick and elusive as he was previously.

I like the message in this post even though the referee was one James Doleman, not Dalton.

Lancaster also got burnt for speed then and on a couple of other occasions. I'm pretty sure the break down the LHS referred to by Slim above, he (Lancaster) was easily run down from behind. Don't think he is any chance of displacing Kellaway or Daugunu anytime soon. I do think that Pietsch...

3 Valetini 2 Ala'alatoa 1 McReight HM : Frost All four could have been MOTM on their performances.

For all the dire warnings beforehand about the strength of Georgia's set piece and attacking mauls, I thought the Wallabies pack got the better of them right throughout the match. While the Georgians stayed in the game on the scoreboard, it never really looked like the Wallabies would lose that...
