True… however against the ABs and now France…we put ourselves in the position to close out and win those games … and we didn’t….

They don’t know how to win.

Noah out of 23 too. Guessing he will start next week?

I think the Japanese play with great speed and execution in the backs. I can’t recall who said it, I think Bob Dwyer, but it was something like … to put the defence under pressure the attack has to be under pressure.. but this requires skill, timing and playing relatively flat.

So what team, if any shuffle, for the game v Les Bleus? I think Tate and Foley to stay in the halves.Foley more for his goal kicking than anything else. I suspect Game v Italy will have Lolesio to start and Donaldson on bench and hopefully Campbell to start at fullback in that game too...

Japan played all over the All Blacks….plus the ABs had a forward pass try awarded… Japanese coaching staff have drilled a great side which mixes it up on every play. Very entertaining… The aura of the All Blacks is fading fast…

I sort of agree with you for once. If we look at Australia we have quite a few players that were not born here. I would like to see the RWC played as a Country of Origin similar to the SOO in the NRL. So players like Koribete would play for Fiji at the World Cup. The top nations would not like...

True.. although with all due respect to the 6 th grade subbies prop, I’m sure he’s not setting any land speed records between set pieces, rucks and around the field in general! Pace of the game should be a touch slow I suspect. When I played my one and only game of 6th grade subbies coming from...

Yes it is definitely worth giving Marky a run….

That’s bloody terrible.

Matt Phillip out injured!

“Vunivalu didn't really do enough either but I'd have him in front of Wright”……sorry, but if you think that, you weren’t seriously watching the games I watched. Vunivalu is on a lot of money, and it is a complete waste. He needs to plead the Benji Marshall case and accept he’s a good NRL player...

Vunivalu.. you wouldn’t know he grew up on the game. He has no idea in defence, doesn’t know how to go looking for the ball and if you were the coaches you’d probably say …. Not your game son. Rugby Australia needs to spend that money on the youngsters on a fraction of his salary. If he was on a...

Cooper is number 1, with his maturity and experience but still hasn’t played the ABs yet since his return plus will he return from a difficult injury successfully? Foley is experienced yet not enough to kick the bloody ball out and secure a great victory recently. Lolesio is playing second...

A speedy hooker who is great in the open is great but if a Test is in the balance and you have a line out just out from your opponents line with a few minutes to go, give me a guy who can throw the ball in straight every day of the week! I mean, how can you not get that right? Porecki is the...

Different exit, caught them napping ..

Quick tap… always a great option.

Thought exactly the same. Refreshing. Mertens made the same comment.

Yep.. does not look good.

Disagree. Centres will improve on the other pairing and Australia will clean sweep the series.
