Mate - it doesn't matter if it went backwards. You can't knock the ball down like that.

The Wallabies know they are allowed past halfway right?

The BFs were another level in the contact. At times they absolutely bullied the Wallaroos. Moleka played well and a couple of nice moments for Cecelia Smith as well I thought.

"Printed across the replica and on-pitch jerseys, the fern’s outline is made via a bold single continuous stroke in a nod to the understanding that players never own the jersey – instead protecting it and passing it along to the next generation; creating one continuous line of guardianship. At...

But how many become NRL stars? I think he will be fine...

I'm not sold on him even as an 'impact' player. He hasn't always done well off the bench but admittedly, he was pretty bloody handy this week. I want Aumua to get more time but I'm hoping he's not like Akira. Someone who does a lot of the 'flashy' things well but the fundamentals are lacking at...

Has there been anyone playing a lot better than Lolesio in Super Rugby? I don't watch a lot of the Aussie derbies but the only other name that comes up on the forums with any consistency is James O'Connor - and he is pretty much done. I would have liked to have seen the QC (Quade Cooper)/Lolesio relationship...

The first Japanese try against the ABs last week was scored off interference in my viewing. There was one against Australia that I thought might have been as well but I didn't go back and review it multiple times like I did the AB/Japan one.

Yep. Have to agree with almost everything here. I groaned when Taylor came on but he was pretty good this morning. I've been an Akira fan for ages but he again showed that he isn't a Test player and I was hoping Findlay would get pulled at half-time. Reiko did well when he came on too.

I’ll have to watch it again, but the few times I did a review it, it looks like the decoy runner took out Mo’unga who was in a good position to defend the try scorer. i reckon in league it would have been called obstruction because the decoy makes contact with the defender but I’m not sure...

Did anyone else think there was obstruction in the first try to wales?

And anyone else who's playing against an Australian team. Please - don't pretend that the complaints against the ref don't happen when the Wallabies play SA or Eng. Shiggins is by far the worst but he's not alone....

First 10mins: 2:17 - W7 is enters ruck from the side and in front of the ruck 2:25 - W8 dangerously lifts BF1 with head first contact to the ground. Possible YC. 3:52 - W4 is on the wrong side of the ruck 4:03 - W1 is on the wrong side of the ruck and makes NO effort to roll away 5:31 - W6 in...

Codie Taylor is not AB level….I’d rather see someone young or someone who has room to improve. We have seen the best of Taylor and Coles already fills the ‘old man Mealamu’ spot.

I have been saying this for a few years.....fans keep thinking that the game is 'going soft' or whatever other terminology they want to use. The reality is that both the NRL and rugby union have been watching what is and has been happening in the NFL for the last decade or so. And their pockets...

This just shows that you don't understand the framework that refs work through when it comes to foul play.....

I've watched it and I watched the first half twice. Did you watch it? Australian fans seem to think that refs shouldn't call Wallaby/Wallaroo players for their infringements because it 'ruins the game'. Keep blaming the refs for your mistakes instead of shouldering the responsibility for...

I've just gone thru the first half This just isn't true. I've just been thru the first half when the Wallaroos were putting all the pressure on and there weren't a whole heaps of BF infringements stopping tries. 2.30 - W penalty while on attack 5:32 - BF pen turn over to W 7:17 BF penalty -...

And yet I thought the ref was VERY lenient on the Wallaroos who consistently fell on the wrong side of the ruck and were very slow to move out. The only time it was penalised was when the the BF half-back passed the ball into the retreating Wallaroo....and even then the ref told her that she...

Of course. Did Wong commit the offence or not?
