Re-reading my post, it seems like I am fairly calm. I’m not. I’m frustrated as hell, why the fuck did he do that.

Prior lost that at the end by slowing the ball down as much as possible ten meters out. I don’t understand why any half back would ever do that. Genia was also occasionally guilty of doing the same thing. But then he would pull out some completely out-of-the-arse play to justify (be forgiven...

Campbell one of the few players putting a good hand up.

God, Tuttle is having a ‘mare. Has he been the last 5 errors (and he only just came on)

End of the day, the main thing the Tahs need is a proper defence coach. I think they were the the top scorer among the Aussie teams in the TT. They were scoring enough points that you would have expected them to, at least, have won a couple of games. But letting in 8 tries a game on average is...

I can understand and even agree with the logic behind it. The game should be played for 80+ minutes, and cynically trying to run down the last few minutes is a semi-penalisable offence, ie. the slightest indiscretion will be penalised.

i think it has been a refereeing directive for quite some years. As soon as a team tries run down the clock, they have to do it perfectly, as even the smallest infringement will pinged.

The first half was superb, and I had the same thought, kiwi-esque in the way they managed to play an off-loading game, while still maintaining possession, not losing the ball in contact. But I wouldn’t say they didn’t play for the full 80, quite the opposite. The Chiefs beat the Crusaders and...

This weekend is showing there is a gulf between the Brumbies and Reds, and the Rebels and Waratahs.

That was a really impressive performance from Boys. I thought this would be a one sided competition after the Brumbies lost to NZ’s worst team at home, and playing NZ’s top team away. And the first 50 minutes was one sided, just not the way I’d expected. And they showed true guts to hold out...

Rebels and Willy G are a bit like the Wallabies and Campese in the 80’s. The Rebels are as good as Genia is playing. He’s not having the best night tonight. On the other hand, Koroibete is showing that when he doesn’t do anything stupid, he’s actually quite good.

Koroibete had a great game before injured. So far the Aussie POM. FF (Folau Fainga'a) had a bit of a shocker. Hopefully he does better in the second half.

I can't say I was glad the French scored at the end, I wasn't. But I couldn't help but think we deserved that. In a barbaa's game where you are suppose to err on the side of playing attacking rugby, with 5 minutes left and being 4 points behind, we decided to take the 3 point option, basically...

I’ll keep saying this on multiple forums, but we don’t have any choice, we have to select overseas players going forward. After the WC the majority of our first choice Wallabies will be playing overseas. It’s niave to believe that French clubs aren’t approaching every potential Wallaby and...

And my basic comment is that if we don't actually start selecting overseas players we drop to 6-8 or maybe lower in 2016-2017

Staying at 2-3 and being pissed off that we are not number 1 is acceptable for someone as unambitious as myself. I just don't want to hold my head up if we drop to number 8.

I live in France. I honestly don't know how this country continues to survive sometimes. It will be very badly hit if a global recession 2 hits. But rugby is based in the less economically affect farming heartlands.

If we don't start selecting overseas players we become a 6-8 ranked team in the world. Not a 2-3 ranked team who'se supporters (me) constantly get pissed off that we can't regain no 1.

Any financial advisor worth their weight in salt should probably advise them to open a free interactive brokers account and hedge their euro salary to US$. But I doubt there is any financial advisor worth that much salt.

I believe the best way forward is for the ARU to try and negotiate with the NZ counterparts to jointly announce that both countries will select overseas players. They will have the same issues as us, although they obviously enjoy much greater depth. This leaves our respective super teams on an...
