Not having any issues with mine. Picture was freezing yesterday but is fine today.

Good contributions by both Toole and Nawaqanitwase but have to take your hat off to the old gaurd. The regulars set that up with a great first half.

Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) just justified his inclusion in about 30 seconds. Great play.

Yeah. I think they should remove that part of the rule.

On quick taps - I wish they would change the rule that you just have to be behind the mark and within say a 2 metre distance. I hate when they call a quick tap back because the player was not on the exact right blade of grass.

I think most of the comments on that came from me BR and, based on reading this comment I obviously didn’t make it clearly enough. I think a quick tap is a great option and I think we should do it more. The issue I had last week with the tap was that it was a very kickable goal which...

I was disappointed they ditched Rennie but, sadly, I also thought Jones would do a good job and defended his record as a coach. Clearly should’ve reminded myself of his record as Reds coach.

I’m not ready to call it a position of strength, but it is funny how things can change quickly. Suddenly we seem to have a core group who can throw and scrummage. I don’t see any of them going in to challenge for World XV anytime soon but having a couple of guys who can hit their lineout target...

Won’t be surprised if he comes into the squad but you’d assume Gleeson or Hooper both in front of him in the pecking order, wouldn’t you? Plus the option to push Williams to 6.

You’d assume Frost was calling against Georgia wouldn’t you? I believe Blyth has called for the Reds but Frost seems more likely. Can’t imagine it was Wilson or Valetini.

Not knocking Skelton but that wasn’t what I took out of it at all. Jones seemed determined to prove everyone wrong by not following any sort of rational approach to coaching the national team. He had no consistency with player selections, took a completely illogical approach to coaching...

Fair questions. Weren’t the Australia A games over the last 2 yrs done without video ref. And most of the women’s games. And club games. We often say sport is in the entertainment business. I know that reducing the video refs influence will lead to complaints for wrong decisions. But that...

You could be right - but then I’ve heard plenty of people comment after games where there has been no video ref how good it was. But sadly the way media and the general public focus on perceived errors and have no filter on criticism it may well cause more issues than if stops.

Yeah - but it will even out. People just have to be prepared to live with it. And players would have to accept longer suspensions. I know some people will be very vocal afterwards, but we have that now anyway plus these long delays. I would much prefer this.

Done. I’m now off to re-evaluate my life choices ;)

Pretty sure he only conceded 2 penalties and 1 of those he got trapped at the back. But conceding penalties is a problem he has had so he needs to keep working. Likewise I think his tackle success has generally been pretty good. But given the narrow definition of his role then he needs to be...

I think it is worth noting too it is the third test in to a new coaching regime and we made 10 changes to the side. Plus we played 20 minutes with 14. Before the game people were making comparison to the losses v Italy, Samoa & Scotland. It was by no means a performance for the ages but...

I think Blyth is doing his job. Making his tackles, making lots of clean-outs and strong in the set peice. I think lock is the hardest spot for those in the side line to select. Won’t be surprised if Blyth is pushed out, but won’t be surprised if they persist with him either. Certainly Frost...

3. McReight 2. Valetini 1. Wilson Won’t lie - really wanted to give the points to McReight, Wilson & McDermott (who I thought was excellent) but would’ve been an injustice to leave Valetini out. Edit: HMs to Ala'alatoa & Frost too

Pasitoa got injured in pre-season. I believe I read comments he is back playing club in Perth and going very well. I think the comments may have suggested he was playing more 12 though.
