Is Wilson still not 100% fit? I also do not see what Gleeson brings ahead of Wilson. I thought Gleeson really deserved his initial caps in his break out year but hasn't been amazing this year at all. I don't know that Cale has jumped them both though. I would see Wilson as a Valetini...

I love the enthusiasm but lets be honest, the Wallabies haven't played good back to back games since the two South Africa games in 2022. I will be absolutely stoked with a 1 point win.

Yeah, just like Blyth... But anyway, Tupou and Gordon both had pretty uninspiring Super seasons and were in the top 3 with Valetini last week.

Isn't Tupou listed as 135kg? Surely even Tupou isn't 150kg...

Would be a shame if Liam is out injured. I was expecting some changes but probably wouldn't have picked him to be rotated.

I never understand why you care so much. Rugby is way down the list of pretty much any country its played in except NZ. A very similar example would be Ireland with Football, Hurling, Gaelic football etc. I've heard its losing quite a bit of ground in NZ to less CTE inducing sports, too.

There are too many reasons to list why the two situations are not even remotely comparable.

Its just like that fucken TJ Perenara thing where he lobbed the ball forward in open play and the ref stopped the entire game to give the ball back to him. I will fight anyone who suggests they aren't a protected species.

Is the rationale not that it will inevitably spill over into other threads if shut off here?

All the teams in Japan are corporate owned. Pretty sure the teams themselves lose money hand over fist but its fine because its largely a cultural dick swinging gig for multi-billion dollar corporations.

It doesn't really matter at this point. If Super Rugby is the key to World Cup dominance is irrelevant to us. It relies on a top down funding model that we can't afford. Reality is, rugby needs a domestic comp (of whatever form) that can at least break even.

It's a great shame. I still rate him as one of our best.

At the very least Petaia is a great bench option. But IMO he's also a better winger than Daugunu. He also has some experience at FB now and could probably play the quasi-FB role on the right wing.

3. Gordon 2. Valetini 1. Tupou

They shouldn't. Didn't they sell their only major asset within the last few years?

I said a QUICK GOOGLE. Why would I know how many households there are? I barely know anything.

I'd be interested in a Matilda's v SoO comparison... Edit: quick google shows 11.2m v 3.2m.

I honestly have no idea how to tell who's weight in the scrum was important so I will just concede that point. Was he not at fault for a couple of lineout infringements prior to the first Welsh try (maybe I am getting the player wrong). Anyway, I didn't think he was terrible just not great either.

If we are going to drop a lock it should be LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto). Thought he was very untidy.
