This is why the Under 20s are trialling that really unpopular mark of a kickoff law isn't it?

I always thought this 1 minute of play in that game was what cost Wilson his spot, and any chance with Rennie. Follow the red headgear until the Pistol Pete saves the day (from 47:34 on the link)

I'm not sure Rennie did see the improvement in footwork that he wanted to see Wilson running straight

This could be kind of what Schmidt's saying here isn't it? Valetini is going to be doing a lot of tight carrying, so you better get out of the wide channel you like to play in and get in tighter to make sure we win the ball when it's his carry.

Intersting to see some of the comments from his coaches over the last few years. Rennie (Oct 2021) - “Staying home is going to give him an opportunity to make make shifts physically and in his game which is going to allow him to excel at this level. He’s being really mature around it. (Note...

What if everyone else is not voting for the Brumbies players due to their own parochialism? BR might be the only honest one amongst us

Pandaran's article never said that the Waratahs asked for those 11, just that those 11 nominated a team other than the Waratahs when they were asked in May where they would like to go.

Is that a nice way of saying he's not fit enough, or he doesn't play tight enough?

The CBA guarantees that RA will honour the player's contracts if one of the Super Rugby teams lose their right to participate, and also that RA can't force, direct or coerce a player to move to a team. It's not really laissez-faire so much as operating as the agreements intend it to. Remember also that...

One potential reason that the players are sticking to the one year deals is that the Rebels were paying overs to attract them down south and the other Super Rugby teams aren't willing to match what they were paying on longer term deals

Other than Canham, everyone else who has a confirmed sport on a roster from the Rebels has moved for what is effectively a one year deal haven't they?

I base my scoring on a)which Super Rugby team they all play for, b) their haircuts c) what colour their boots are, like most others here

Are there other options?

Yes

If I was the Georgian coach I'd also be going hard at the Australia breakdown. There's a lot of attacking threats out, Valetini and Wilson will make inroads for sure, and McReight will be linking/backing up all over the place but I would be testing this backrow's willingness to secure their own...

Phil Waugh must have found some old pound coins down the back of the couch.

New hooker. New caller. A prop that has barely lifted the locks. Only two jumpers. Who's up for a lineout meltdown?

We haven't broken the Rennie captain's curse yet. Are you trying to have McReight get a career-ending injury or something?

Doran has TT and Kailea all but at the Tahs for next year, but only for one year as both are likely to look OS after the current contract is up.
