I thought Chibba announced his retirement from professional rugby at the last game. All his family flew down from QLD for the game

Playing games in 30 degree temps, not great conditions for the teams trying to qualify.

Owns not leases, and no I can't provide that as I'd be out of a job

fair enough, but I can confirm his here next year. To the extent that he bought a apartment in Melbourne last year with his partner. I'm the building manager for that apartment complex so have rugby chats regularly with him.

No link, I just know Matt and know he was signed on for next year before this season even started. Also know UK teams are scouting props, his said he will stay loyal to the Rebels as they gave him a chance.

Matt Gibbon is already contracted for 2023.

Citing committee agreed with Barnes and Porter has been cleared.

Have no objection to the ARU going to Twiggy, as long as Twiggy does not try change the rules of the game like GRR . Wallabies need to play the same game as everyone else, if they are playing different they will never be competitive on the international arena.

So making teams to develop a new strategy to keep the ball in play in there own 22 rather then mark and kick it out 25-35 meters down the field is a bad thing? It's keeping the ball in play without a stoppage once sides get use to the change. A mark is a waste of 1 to 2 minutes currently, Mark...

The game is not a broken record over there, most test matches are sold out. 6N and November, European games get large crowds and league games still get more then Super Rugby do.

One rule I really want to see gone is the mark, so many times when a mark is called it ruins what could be a really good contest. It's another needless stoppage in play. Or at least make the kick has to have been taken in the opposition half, it really bother me when the team on attack takes a...

It's alright All Black fans, Wayne Barnes is the ref this week, you will get every 50/50 and we all know he does not like to show the darkness cards.

You mean he will be dropped to club rugby and won't get to train with the squad even though contracted right?

I like our young locks, but depth at lock/6 is not going to be a bad thing.

His been sick all week, still reported as a 50/50 to be available

Surprised Healy is named, thought his injury looked pretty bad. Earls starting is interesting, he did defend quite well last night. But to play a full 80 mid week and start on the weekend is a big ask. No wing cover on the bench either.

Well having Joe step in for help is only going to make it more conservative, great coach but not for the style your looking for.

Only thing I am taking from the match is we lost Healy, otherwise no one put there hand up for a spot in the test side. Did not use the whole bench, one player who did come on had only got off the plane the day before. Thought Barnes reffing of the breakdown was a disgrace, both side never...

Taking one of the few Wallabies from a struggling side to the most successful team in Australia does not work for spreading the talent. I think with KB (Kurtley Beale) going back to the Tahs you have more chance of recruiting one of there back 3 for cover.
