Just caught the second half but will watch first later on today. Beale was very poor. Numerous dropped balls, bad passes, a missed grubber (don’t see that in top tier test rugby much) Thought the backline sparked when Noah came on. Bad decisions aplenty. Soft soft high tackle call on samu...

Just a constraint in the algorithm that produces the draw. There has to be an Australian home game every Friday night. Let the computer figure it out

am i the only one who thinks this competition is going to be a complete dud and struggle to make it to year 2?

Rugby Championship Aus, NZ, SA, ARG, Jap, Fiji Tier 2 Canada, USA, Samoa, Tonga, Uruaguay, Brazil Winner of tier 2 plays loser of tier 1 for promotion/relegation. Japan brings extra money. USA and Canada gradually bring some $ Bring a Hawaiian team of Pacific Islanders and Americans into...

UK commentator summed it up at one point. We tried 4 times to run it from Within our 22. Four runs into contact. Four big rucks and then we kick it. Wasted a lot of energy and risked a lot of ball

Obviously there was some sloppy handling due to forcing plays but overall I look at that and think that we had the cattle the game plan is just broke. We definitely need to invest in a stock of flyhalfs. That should be where $2.4M goes - not to an NRL Fijian winger. So much wasted energy trying...

Agree agree but they won’t win. We made mistakes and were poor at times. Replace us with better opposition and I think England struggle. Ford is a great kick tho. Yikes!

Also. Restarts to the center every time. Fuck.

Agree. Genia has 30 mins in him. Lilo made too many errors. Rodda and others more important in the second row. Kerevi a loss but TK can up his game. New coach is honestly the answer.

3-4 22 exits which should’ve been kicks. Should’ve taken the points instead of that scrum. Knock on sums it up

I’d agree. The run no matter what is a just not rugby. Dumb dumb dumb

Agree. Cheikas game plan does not work without perfect execution (see japan). Bring back dingo. Or rennie. Or Joseph/brown.

Feels like all part of eddies plan. Keep a lead or close to w the backs starting and then bring on ford to just beat us back with his accuracy from the boot.

Too many dropped balls under pressure tonight. Subs have been poor thus far and set us back. Petaia has been good but should’ve gone off at 60. I haven’t seen anything from England that suggests they can win the cup. SA v winner of Ireland and NZ for me. Cheika gone and a coach with an...

Perhaps not the right thread but with the NH countries blocking the world league and "going on their own" in a sense, should the SH not look to do the same? they could easily accommodate a mini world league of their own 7-8 teams in the tier 1 NZ, SA, Au, Arg, Japan, Fiji, USA in tier 1...

Did Cooper vuna do the 7s switcheroo?

6 is definitely a glaring issue. no one stands out who can run the ball up the guts, tackle, take a line out and win the breakdown. hard to fathom having pocock back and in form and not starting. he's a beast. Good to see experiment Hanigan has ended. doesn't seem to be anyone upset over that...

I completely agree. they wasted 3 years persisting with Hanigan and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto). Mcmahon a beast but a little short though you'd take him anyways cause of how productive he is. Fardy would've been solid. not giving jones more time baffles me. Samu should be in there. he went to a wedding. i'd...

Three 10s in foley, To'omua and lilo. Then three fill ins. You leave someone behind there who can fly in if injury forces it. Or make your coaching staff larger and hodge is your assistant kicking coach who trains with the team!

Problem here is you have one real winger in the squad and three fly halves with JOC (James O'Connor), Beale and arguably Hodge all able to fill that role. Somethings gotta give.
