I don’t think it is. In professional sport the fitter teams are normally the best teams.

Also Eddie is the third consecutive coach to highlight the playing groups lake of fitness. That points to systematic failings at rugby Australia

My coaches always told me when I played you lose the right to it as soon as somebody contests it. So if someone is legally trying to pilfer 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds afterwards that’s when you can no longer try and place it

The issue is not the non card. Only a few minutes earlier he lets the Fijians get away with crawling, when they made a brake down the middle and then swung it wide but threw the ball into touch. It’s not so much not giving a yellow or red card it’s the fact that became a penalty for Fiji and...

People just want to complain.

You obviously don’t watch that much rugby then

It’s a hard one, Eddie is the third coach to say their level of fitness is not up to standard. Pushing them to their limits to improve their fitness can leave them more susceptible to injury especially soft tissue injuries that can be fatigue related. But what’s the alternative? You let them...

I’d take the 23 side over the 19 side

I feel he was fairly consistent with his application of the laws. I didn’t agree with how he reffed the break down, I felt almost every time they were clearly hands on the floor then onto the ball. I felt thought that the Fijian’s responded to this and played to the whistle where the Wallabies...

They were lucky not to be down to 13.

There is shame in losing any game to any opponent. As the great Vince Lombardi said “in football winning isn’t everything it’s the only thing”

Neck rolls have come back into the game in a big way as of late as they have cracked down of high shots in a clean out and without coming in from the side there really isn’t that much else you can do.

He got up completely fine. It would have been a planned change and they haven’t paid a knock roll in 5 plus years

He was very pro Fiji. Most of the times the got on the ball they clearly went off their feet.

It has to be a straight red. He is never legal in the tackle. It’s a shoulder charge to the head. No mitigation what so ever.

Just pick Tate and IFL at 9 drop White That will sort out so many of the problems to begin with.

He is the only 10 we have. Donno struggled for the Tahs at ten would be madness to pick him in a must win game

Warns them and specifically Tuisova about repeated high shots a few minutes later lets him come in with a swinging arm on a player who’s already been tackled. Makes the comment no foul play and we play on Droasese’s shoulder charge on Marika was that blatant and it was absolutely disgusting that...

You can’t start Donno at 10. It wasn’t Gordon’s best game but look who he was paired with White has to go. The 9/10 combo will look a lot better when Tate is back
