Logic would suggest there is a high chance of the proposed action to 'take out a player' being ruled deliberate, thus it would be a high risk strategy not only to play a quarter of the game a man down but potentially whatever is left of it. And said sacrificed player would need to be one that...

I like that he's picking a proper 7 to replace a proper 7 for a start.

Well done boys, filling Siya up on dodgy Moreton Bay oysters. I wonder if the lass is the background is called Suzie?

My exact words were 'he does have a reasonable boot on him', the inference being with regards to distance. As for the shithouse kick v Wales, guess what, Lolesio and Donaldson both did shithouse kicks v Wales as well when they were under no pressure. Point being, to lambaste him based on one...

I don't disagree with that, but more 14 than 15 and he's played a bit of fullback if I recall correctly, admittedly not at this level. He does have a reasonable boot on him though.

Why is everyone off Daugunu? Is it because he's card prone? Aside from the red card v Georgia he was one of our best during the July tests, and he'd be unlucky to get another card for a similar charge down attempt. Tom Wright still hasn't clearly shown he has the consistency required at test...

It could have been as much a psychological issue.

Tom Carter is back!

No they have to earn them. I think they may have tried that years ago but it didn't go down well. They have however extended the criteria for honours and colours beyond the sporting arena....

Close. Sky blue is honours - default for winning a 1sts comp, or can also be for some high level rep honours e.g. Aus U18s. Stripes (butchers coat) is colours. Full colours are given for being in any 1sts, half colours are for winning a premiership in 2nds or in the case of rowing any GPS...

They can't. The ONLY solution is for SBHS to relegate themselves to a lower competition and TAS should do the same. Grammar are doing OK in 3rds and in general and Newington have to step up and play 3rds. It doesn't mean SBHS and TAS aren't GPS schools anymore, but at least the kids will...

It's less than a week away, may as well get into it.

He could be but he's not listed as one of the unavailable players so it's possibly also a coincidence.

That Roar article was a bit off the mark this time.

It could just be Panda's personal take: Brumbies backrower Luke Reimer and the Waratahs’ Charlie Gamble are among the options Schmidt is considering, with Tom Hooper the strong contender to replace McReight in the No.7 jersey for the opening Test in Brisbane on August 10.

Skelton not to be selected until the Argentina tour, along with Porecki and Bell. Lancaster out, Koribete and/or Jorgensen in. T Hooper likely to start at 7 v Sth Africa with whoever comes in for McReight being the understudy...

They don't have to contend with the media hype of 2 other winter codes and the Matildas limping home against the 64th ranked nation in a pool game. They'll be hoping to use the girls as leverage to get a bit of attention on the code and make the announcement on Thursday after the medals are...

I'll rephrase - I reckon they want the Aus rugby viewing public to focus on the 7s at the Olympics rather than an obscure squad selection/omission. I expect the announcement to be the day the girls are done with.
