Were they even going to hit 75% capacity? That would have been a great result on the GC, based on previous experience.

Marketing the Tahs to non-Anglo's outside the Eastern suburbs and North Shore? Interesting idea, I wonder if they've ever considered it.

Bring him off the bench, let him go beast mode for 20 min at the end.

Yes - that's also the issue for Stan buying more rugby content: will they pull more subscribers by showing French rugby, 6 Nations, even MLR, etc? Or do they get essentially 100% of rugby fans with SRAU/TT/P and Rugby Championship? No commercial benefit to paying more money for more competitions...

Amazing that a four-way battle for the EPL rights does not include Foxtel/Kayo. Seems like Fox is happy to just cash in on NRL and AFL, and leave everything else to others now.

Is Kolbe still injured? Even with Boks' lack of enthusiasm for backline attack, he's good for at least one try.

Yes - especially that sliding up in front of the ball-carrier. How far from the line of the line-out does the ball need to move before the line-out ends?

Yes, it's a big slice of humble pie for me, but it tasted pretty good. If you read either of these two headlines in 2019, which would be more shocking?: "September 2021: All routes out of NSW are blocked by police, and have been for months" "September 2021: A dominant Wallabies scrum pushes...

Yes, Cully's compulsory reading for insights like this. That Lions test instantly changed when Russell came on. But can Quade still deliver that kind of impact?

Hooper's an extreme case, but surely they'll consider some management of his workload over the next couple of seasons. So Tizzano might pick up some starts. Glad he's staying around.

I've considered that possibility, and rejected it.

Actually - the answer's staring me in the face. Gagger's just dropped millions into refreshing the forum interface, and needs revenue. What better to drive action on the threads?

What is it with Quade? How does he seem to seduce each Wallabies coach into picking him? Deans, McKenzie - perfectly reasonable choice. Cheika - well, probably had to give him a go. Rennie - really?

Hell hath no fury like a FoxSports scorned, it seems. Those performances in the 7s can't have been a surprise to anyone. The men lost three games to the eventual three medalists, yes? I was pretty disappointed when they lost to Argentina, but it turned out those Argies were red-hot.

You must be a big fan of Ben Darwin's work on cohesion. o_O.

Tolerating misbehaviour because a player is seen as indispensable is how we ended up with the three amigos in the first place. And how about the rest of the team? Rennie suggested they were angry with these three. Is Rennie going to say "Look, I know we talked about standards, but Marika's a...

You just have to love Fiji, don't you? The passion during the anthems. The speed, the physicality. That run down the right sideline to score in the first half. The skills, the understanding. What it means back home. Congratulations Fiji, you were brilliant. And comiserations NZ, you deserved...

Well, I've watched it twice :)

Watching the replay of Wales v Argentina on Stan (why? because it's there), I notice that Disney+ was advertising the launch of ESPN on their service Star+. Apparently only in South America at this stage, but that would be another chunk of Fox Sports content gone if they roll that out to...
