I think the simple answer to the maul is to take out the "That's once". After 5 seconds without going forward, use it or lose it.

I think the issue with To'omua is the lack of creativity. He runs strongly, defends like a beast and kicks well enough, but I have rarely seen him run the kind of plays I'd like to see from a fly-half. I think we've seen enough of him at Test and Super level to make that conclusion. You can't...

Wright is a good bloke and all but we don't want him. We want Hardwick or Tizzano back. Uru we'd take.

Banks was tried and found wanting. I think you'd be better served with Wright or Hodge.

Pulled the same move on the Force. Very disappointing that refs don't see it. Also disappointing that teams actively contribute to scrum shenanigans. Endless resets ruin the game as a spectacle. It's short term gain for long term pain.

Given how well Ikitau is playing, Petaia is under quite a bit of pressure. At his best he is sublime, but at his worst he wouldn't look out of place in the Force backline. You can't be that mercurial at test level. I'm not sure shifting him to the wing will help- I think it's a maturity thing...

Cubelli, I think, is signed for 2 years. Not hopeful about the other guys but you never know. Miotti was always going to go. By throwing some spice, do you mean pretty much guaranteeing the Reds the home final? ;)

Scariest thing about the Brumbies is their tight 5. No AAA and no Sio and Slipper at 3 is far less intimidating. Think the Brumbies still have our number, but I hope we stay within 7. We may even have an advantage in the set piece.

No, but Anstee did score a cracking 40m try in the Shute Shield grand final. It might have been a key try if Eastwood did muff up their scrum dominance. Yes, I know the Shute Shield isn't near the level of the NRL grand final, but the NRL isn't the same sport either. We'll have to agree to...

How many games has Vunivalu started? For what it is worth, I think it is very premature talking about Anstee as a Wallaby. Just pointing out some people might have double standards.

I think efforts are underway to that effect WCR, but there is not a lot of support from the governing body. Increasing junior participation through things like Rugby Roos certainly helps. Participation in Super Rugby also helps. We lost a lot of really promising young fellows when the Force was...

Neither had their best games. In defence of Stander, you try defending against some of those Reds backs. I know which set I'd prefer running at me.

I was kind of hoping he would have spilt the ball a bit more often this evening ;)

I remember a time when TK was the Wallabies best back. He hasn't been terrible for the Force, but he is a shadow of what he once was. Sad but true. I don't think being in his first year in a team that has had a fair bit of chopping and changing has helped, but I wouldn't be distraught if he left...

Hasn't Paisami been amazing?

Great game so far

Thrush got pinged on not being the last man in Rnd 1.

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

People in glass houses?

Agreed. How good has Cabus Eloff been for the Rebels?
