Yes, that is half of the story.

Not sure on the negativity, sure Chiefs are entitled favourites, but it is 4 v 5 which is the best shot you get from the second half of qualifiers. We are in it, so why not? It's been a fabulous first season for Kiss and the team strengths are getting pretty seasoned at this stage. Got to be in...

Nope Yep. * * * Look, it was a shit season for the tahs and as much as I respect the coaching team, I don't argue with those who want something new. At the same time, there is seriously talent in this team. Like, often international level talent. Often.

Yep. I thought a lot of the tah-disappointment chatter here was OTT. And man they went close.

I dont see a Nela Reds re-connection as highly likely, but stranger things have happened. We are OK at tight head aren't we?

Apples for oranges, Wilson. You would have had more rounds with 5 teams. Which most of us would have gone for depending on the age old issues of running across internationals or starting too early.

However much it didn't make, it is less now.

Out of You've just locked the Wallabies into 2, possibly 3 entirely different game strategies/plans and no time to build any of them. It's the sort of plan that has me reverting to simply leaving Skelton in France.

And then there was Tim.

I've been skeptical about this since he was under discussion. It isn't simply a generic issue of cohesion, but impacts jumping (selection of the back row) and reinforces the role of the locks in tight. I would think that you have to design the team around his being available so that you need a...

I suspect legal shenanigans/kid-ology to bully RA into thinking an expensive defence was at least going to be required - thereby starting the bargaining process by dropping something that has little value in the first instance. Unfortunately for Melbourne rugby fans these directors may simply...

For me, a star head coach isn't necessarily flipping the switch to competitiveness. Can be but it's a big ask. I'd also agree with suggestions that pulling SRU closer into Waratahs Ltd would be a positive step. Still Cheika might be the bloke. If RA is willing to splash the cash. Wish the Tahs...

So you want the Rebels to survive in order to kill the RA and through that the sport itself in Australia? Whatever you thoughts on means, I am confused on your intended ends.

I'm not sure that changes the thinking. A union that is failing sufficiently to lean on being bailed out, looking to where to go, and not apparently being prepared to put in the hard yards. There is a need for an instant fix from a coach who can make everything suddenly successful. (right) Look...

Brad Thorn is probably available.

Talk about an exercise in the bleeding obvious. Too little too late by me. What do the bone fides sound like? Obviously the Age article is blocked.

I point at the shite line out, myself. Can't avoid it though, down the 14 men for 30 mins very likely on it's own cost us that game. The line out may have done it on it's own but you cant ignore that 30 minutes.

Geez Shig, second trip, second card, hence red. And he did make contact to the foot. I suspect both occasions were simple natural reactions. As understandable as that is, the YC and then the RC were the only answers.

I find it more than distasteful and it did not have to be this way - but holding on to what we have, or at least of much of it that we can manage to hold, right now that is the short term. Long term will have to wait.

Look, I've got no specific opinion on Kuenzle, but... ..."recency bias" is word salad for "form", yes?
