Which club does Zane play for? Just wondering if he was considered the 3rd THP then maybe it was a mutual decision to stay and play finals and let Tom go and hold tackle bags as emergency cover for both sides.

All I said was I won't be surprised if his red gets downgraded. If it does the rest is up to Schmidt. From memory Foketi was on leave and it was just to hold tackle bags anyway.

It will have to be Stewart won't it? JOC (James O'Connor) would be another option, otherwise they will have to do a backline rejig. That said, I won't be surprised if Foketi's red get's downgraded, I was watching it live and it was 'clumsy' (the word used by Doran) but in no way malicious, and being a club...

I've only just read the Doran article, it doesn't actually say much does it? I was under the impression that if he were to come back into the fold for the RC it would only be for the Argentina tour anyway, and not for the Bledisloe games. So in that context it makes more sense to continue...

Our problem stems from the historical governance whereby unless you are playing for a Super franchise you can’t play for the Wallabies, which means that every Aussie player who has moved overseas has already weighed up their priorities. It’s a rule we had to have because without it we risk our...

Here are my final comments on the matter. Firstly, find any reference to me calling the side that ran out against Georgia our B side. Not saying others didn’t, but you aren't talking to those others. There was some rotation from within our 32 man squad, that’s pretty commonplace for all...

And Foketi got red carded for a dump tackle playing for Manly in the semi yesterday.

Rassie knows how to exploit every loophole in the rule book, if it was a deliberate ploy and robbed them of a victory in the dying minutes where they couldn’t eek out a penalty try because their scrum had been eating ours all night then fair enough. But it wasn’t like that at all, it was an...

It will be interesting to see if Kerevi comes back into consideration for the Argentina trip, the lack of impact in the midfield was one of the most obvious criticisms of the Boks matches.

PSDT has been the best all round player in the world for the last 2 World Cup cycles. Re the uncontested scrums, there isn’t really much they can do about it - the options were to ignore the concussion protocols, bring Bell back on injured, or borrow one of your players. Beyond that the only...

The modern international game entails a squad approach. 14 of the 23 players in their team last night won a World Cup final less than a year ago. They have crazy depth and rolled out some players in the first half who aren’t well known now but will be part of the main squad in 2027, supported...

Schmidt hasn‘t mastered the art of uncontested scrums yet. Donno should have been there instead of Blyth.

Can someone run me through the criteria for determining that was the Springboks B team, and ours being our strongest one?

Our scrum was pretty solid the last 30 minutes too

I think when he went off they said it was an injury sub, not a tactical one. So I don’t think he can go back on. I’d be upset about it if I didn’t think rassie would deliberately do the same thing

oh phew it’s a hia

Ok NRL scrums in a test match

Fuck, I’m usually pretty tolerant with you. Fuck off and watch the Argentina v all blacks replay instead then.

So fucking what?

Well it’s not really, they are rebuild mode as well except they have managed to keep all their veterans in the system while they do it.
