Seems a bit harsh? I haven't seen a lot of him in action since he moved but clearly he has the faith of his coach. We would have had a laugh when Mack Hansen's name was first mentioned for international duty.

Bit of compassion for the fans, players, staff etc wouldn't hurt

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/theres-something-off-about-a-moana-pasifika-mvp-playing-for-the-all-blacks-xv/ Question - is Aumua technically eligible for the Wallabies as an overseas selection?

That's great news, if true. A wonderful club man and has been a very good footy player. Just looked up his stats in Japan at Kurita, has actually only scored 1 try in 19 appearances (all starts), which surprises me. Does anybody know if he's played 13 or on the wing? I know he had a big impact...

Agreed, I would have been giving Wilson a good run as well

Strong Japanese team!

I like Rennie as a man, and as a coach, and I don't hold him single-handedly responsible for his awful winning record. He has been very unlucky with key injuries and for the most part has preapred a squad where 80% of our RWC squad are locked in, and a nice blend of youth and experience. With...

Bell, Porecki, Allan (C), Neville, Frost, Valetini, Hooper, Samu, Gordon, Lolesio, Kellaway, Paisami, Ikitau, Vunivalu, Hodge. Fainga'a, Slipper (VC), Taniela, Philip, McReight, Wilson, White, Lolesio. Wright, Holloway, Petaia drop out for mine - discipline and performance related. Not...

Guy Porter being an England international still blows my mind[/MEDIA]

Slipper/Bell, Porecki, Allan, Neville, Philip, Samu, McReight, Valetini, Gordon, Foley, Marika, Lalakai, Len, Vuinvalu, Kellaway Bell/Sio, Pollard, Taniela, Holloway, Wilson, White, Lolesio, Hodge

Credit where it's due, Lalakai was good over the ball - won a couple of penalties, and I didn't notice any glaring defensive misses.

I don't think Dave Rennie would give two shits about where a player is from when choosing who starts lol

I think a key element is combining it with Super Rugby gamedays initially, boosting reasons to attend both competitions' fixtures.

He is the only Leaguie I'd be chasing - genuine point of difference.

Couple options for 7s in my opinion: 1 - Play Women's Sevens before and after Super Rugby games. QLD, NSW & 1 other team (Allies style) for the opening month of the season. USe all the big name, contracted players and show highlights etc at HT. 2- IPL style Sevens competition. Needs PE to get...

The Michael Lipman interview in The Aus on the weekend was bleak too. He has a book coming up about his early on-set dementia

Hang on - are you compl;aining because we have depth? Circumstances (suspension, injury, being OS) have kept them from being a consitent 3, but it's not the part of the team we should be worried about. I personally like Neville, Arnold and Swain as our 3, with Frost and Rodda making 5 good locks...

I think that's fair - but as previously mentioned, the 9/10/12/13 combintation was all over the joint. If starting JOC (James O'Connor), should have considered starting Tate - or otherwise, White & Lolesio.

Played Club Rugby in Brisbane last week or the week before? Somebody said he wants to play for Samoa.. not sure if true?
