As a bit of a left field interpretation it the article doesn't suggest that McReight is being rested, only that Schmidt is looking to counter the Scots' breakdown dominance - the McZanno maybe?

I am certainly bullish on him, but at the moment he is attack weapon only and I agree about the defensive issues. The Welsh try just after he came on looked like largely a bad defensive read from him, and there was one of the English tries last week where on the replay he was standing there in...

Depends - some people think he's a centre/winger whereas others think he is an outright winger. Assuming the former, Potter covers 13 and wing, Stewart covers 12/13 and 10 at a pinch. I actually don't think we need any more wing coverage in the 23, Donno covers there also as he can play 15 and...

That's your opinion, mine is different.

If Kerevi is out (I think we will appeal and win) then I would assume Hamish Stewart will come back into the squad and probably be #23. Otherwise it will be Kerevi/JAS again in whichever role.

Yeah that was one of the penalties he reversed to give a Welsh feed, even if he justifiably fucked up the penalty (which he didn't) I don't understand the basis for giving the Welsh the feed, doesn't the restart go to the attacking team for a stoppage?

Bizarre that our highest scoring stanza of the game was the 20 minutes when we only had 14 players on the park. What a reversal from 12 months ago, this time it was the Welsh fans leaving the stadium early. The grand slam is well and truly on. With Skelton unavailable for the Ireland game I...

I was wondering while watching the games this morning why a lot of the games during the tour window are at viewer friendly times for us Aussies except for the ones with the Aussies actually playing in them. E.g. why couldn't we play at Twickenham last week at the same time as this morning's...

You can look at it that way if you like but 95% of us are just supporting the team that represents the state we live in.

Yes, I jumped on and bought a few 'gold' tickets yesterday. I'll doubt I'll get test tickets through regular channels and I don't want to miss the Lions tour entirely so it's really my only chance to get amongst the action.

Rhino's AI algorithm has disintegrated to the point of literally rewording the exact same detail of the post it is responding to.

Hence the use of the word variation.

I wasn't actually suggesting it as a one-off, must win situation - that was Wam. It could be a legit variation, maybe for a long throw.

I was actually wondering if that might be seen as an 'outside the square' variation, with Bobby V or someone hitting it up at 12.

They aren't reshuffling, they are (at least seem to be) permanent changes to facilitate his best team going forward.

My recollection at the time was that there was no way RA could justify competing with that money for a 17 year old and that it was a better outcome to let the NRL develop him and then buy him back later. Which is exactly what has transpired, probably a bit over what was anticipated though. He...

3. Bell 2. Ikitau 1. Sua'ali'i HMs pretty much everyone else

Don't forget Tom Wright (J), Jeremy Williams (S) and Dylan Pietsch (K)

that kind of gets covered in this article: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/british-media-predict-joseph-Sua'ali'i-will-transform-wallabies-and-lure-new-generation-of-aussie-kids-to-rugby/news-story/89a1183e4496b0ad975a48fe89804393 “The birth of a star”. Former NRL gun...

Schmidt's MO seems to be to avoid reshuffling and bring the next pick in that position to cover for an injury. If he wants to give Skelton a run then it will be at the expense of a lock, either way I think we will see Gleeson in the 8 jersey. The caveat here would be if Wilson is out for the...
