Almost evey Hollanders ruck one of the following happens Tackle player rolls so the ball is under their chest Cleanout not for the side but the force side Smith stands on the player rather than picking up the ball

You can't tackle and stand up on the defensive side and pick up the ball

Kicked from inside but that was taken back

But not good

How did the ref not call that forward himself

Not sure it works like that - they took Murphy

If Callan had made that tackle he would have been carded

I think he may be on a rotation with Blues and Canes next two weeks

It could almost be like our bunker. Couldn't be too hard to have a single consistent person on call with a laptop and good internet for 12 hours a weekend

Is the red card upgrade process working? In terms of the flow of the game - yep much better than a 15 minute huddle consisting of the Ref, AR, TMO, ref's water boy. However, a quick look at the judiciary outcomes would suggest that potentially the TMOs may be coming in a bit harsh. Not...

It is probably in World Rugby's interest for at least one of Aus/Samoa/Fiji to finish in the top four (locking in NZ Eddie). If none of them do only two of those teams can qualify (one as Oceania and one as repechage) Will SA send the men if they don't qualify top 4? At the last Olympics the...

Does anyone know if the standings stay as they are would the Aussie men qualify for Paris as France in as hosts. First level of qualification is top 4 world series

Best predictor of hamstring injury is a previous hamstring injury. Second best is age. No biomechanics study has found something yet that says this is what causes a hammy ping (most likely though eccentric strength and short fascicle length)

That's been Perth all over and reflects the fact we are full of expat kiwis and saffas. We have never had great crowds for the local derbies as most of the Aussies shifted their loyalties while the saffas and kiwis (in particular) have held onto loyalty. Always a bump in attendance versus SA...

For those interested Eloff is here and now running at the end of game.
