Until recently, we've had a pretty poor track record with developing locks out of age grade and put too many eggs in that basket. Despite some improvement there, there are too many teams (Brumbies, Rebels, Force) who are also tapping that limited resource. 7 odd years back you could understand...

Neville, Muirhead and Valetini my best three for the Brumbies.

Force a bit hard done by with that last maul. A final try would've been a good reflection on the difference between the two teams.

Force discipline has been woeful. Frustrating thing is that we aren't really under that much pressure on most of them.

This last 20 has been very scrappy.

Censored.

Provided none of our front row have a blow out.

I actually like the rationale of Tupou and Hoopert on the bench. You like to come home with a wet sail, you'd guess there'd be fewer scrums in the first 20, refs more patient and less willing to dole out penalties, etc. Tupou's ball running against tired bodies....

Well this thread is very civil and respectful. I wonder how long it will last... I reckon Brumbies by 8. Force camped on the Brumbies line at 80 minutes only to be denied a consolation bonus point.

Por que no los dos!

Assuming he's being signed as a winger.

We had 12 years of enjoying that when it came. Happy to hand over the reins for one or two.

It's a bit hard to compare the starters with those on when the game loosened up. I thought Lance was alright while he was on. Bit disappointed in McIntyre's kicking but other aspects of his play were good. 'Mingo had some good and bad moments. Didn't see much from Kearney. Maybe he had an off...

I've only had the chance to watch the first interval so far.... but what a contrast to the Reds v Waratahs game. Both teams looking sharp, looking to use the ball. Both teams with some solid defence. Nothing cynical on either side. Doesn't Len Ikitau look great? Valetini also looking the...

Thanks for the update. I suppose the hope is that things will be under control by then, but it is a possibility. We are a month off our first away game. Fingers crossed.

I wonder what is the story with Ready, Thrush and McCauley. Lock and hooker is where we have the least depth. Not a good sign.

Strong side!

What was that about a push over try? I thought Scotland's try was a pearler.

Love your idea. One of the things I loved about the NRC was that there was rugby on for non-Wallabies players when there might not have been otherwise. If it could be pulled off, a Cup competition across the Asia-Pacific (and maybe Argentina too, USA comp all-stars team?) in the mid-August to...

Uru. Try aside, some good runs and solid defence. He'll make a great bench impact player if Wright, McReight and Wilson continue to be starters. Hard to judge the Reds though. It was a fairly scrappy game. Liked Stewart. Feel that kind of scrappy game suits him. Jock showed glimpses of the...
