I assume they were only lit up yesterday though? I actually stayed in the CBD over the weekend and didn't notice anything... but I was also more concerned with what I was drinking.

I don't think the Brumbies' scrums concerns had to do with his efforts... He wasn't penalised once over the last three games. The Brumbies' depth on the loosehead side was severely tested, and it was a constant source of any collapses. McInerney was also clearly a weakness in the middle, and...

In our household it's fairly similar with ABC really the only FTA channel that gets any regular viewing... Four Corners (sometimes) and Media Watch on Monday nights, and my partner might try and squeeze in a little bit of ABC News Breakfast in the morning before a kid's show has to be loaded up...

The ACMA's How we watch and listen to content report from December shapes things a bit differently... https://www.acma.gov.au/publications/2023-12/report/communications-and-media-australia-how-we-watch-and-listen-content

But, but... the Kiwis have been telling us if we cut a team the rest will improve?

Ah yep, 35 mins ago...

Rumoured or confirmed?

Well, yes...

Is there a RWC this year and a significantly different test match schedule and player landscape?

He was brought in to win the RWC... And when that fell off the rails then he was rebuilding, and the entire game plan shifted... Oh, and meanwhile interviewing for the Japan head coaching role.

Ultimately, the two biggest high profile omissions are wingers... I'm not really convinced it's going to be the deciding factor on the Wallabies winning or losing to Wales and Georgia.

Eddie wasn't rebuilding at first... and then he was... Just like he was about experience and field position... But then was the future and ball in hand.

Under different circumstances a coach would probably select those departing players... But Schmidt is effectively building a new team, and he's already talked about how he's probably not going to know who his best squad is until the EOYT. Including those players is more of a hindrance for that...

Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase)'s form in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) last season also wasn't too great... Ultimately, if he wasn't going to the NRL he probably would've been selected. But completely understand Schmidt leaving out anyone who is not sticking around considering everything that's occurred in Australian rugby over the last...

I'd say the truth is pretty simple... Beale was selected because he did play well this year. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) was not because he's going to the Roosters.

Montpellier played a relegation match on the weekend, and I would assume he was going to remain there until the end of his contract... It was reported earlier in the year that he wouldn't be heading back to Australia until June. But ultimately Schmidt wasn't selecting anyone for this squad who...

Probably still in France…

Probably because Bray couldn't tell the difference between SBW and Turinui if they were both out on the field...

Rumours now circling that he is leaving...

Great, so Perese didn't start at outside centre for half of the Waratahs games this year? And taking into account what Adam already said... your argument is sound.
