Hey as far as I’m concerned the more rugby the better but call a spade a spade and be genuine

Twiggys sensationalism is really turning me off the competition, I understand he needs to sell the comp to people but I read a quote on a fox sports article today with him saying “people are saying wsr was the best footy they’ve ever seen”, just utter bullshit and makes me not want to watch it

I thought the same thing too but only saw one reply from not a great angle

It’s got nothing to do with who a player plays for, if you haven’t cottoned on yet I go for the Tahs. But can you legitimately honest to god think to yourself and go yep I can think of 10 occasions when Phipps has been playing for the wallabies and thought “ damn he played well today” because...

I’m talking about open space with numbers on the outside. I’m not against either of the two I enjoy their style of play, just think as a pair there were a few too many times they tried to bash their way over

Same as anywhere else, read the play and anticipate where it’s getting thrown

Just out of curiosity who did you think was the poorest performer for the wallabies? I too thought it was clearly Foley I thought sio had a mixed bag but was getting lots of touches and obviously trying to make an impact I thought Kerevi and Koro tried to run over people too often instead of...

My fucking ass you’ve seen Phipps play that good in gold 25 times. Gordon was unspectacular but did his core job of passing the ball well and more importantly didnt do any major game altering fuck ups like Phipps does nearly every time he gets on the field

All he has to do now is do that another 5632 times and he’d have made up for all the bombed try’s and linebreak assists when he should’ve passed but didn’t

Not only that but the pods are so deep, there’s been a few decent runs by Tupou and Rodda where they’ve made quality metres but they are so far behind the advantage line at the get go that it’s uselss Also foley is butchering our chances out wide, there’s holes everywhere and he just can’t...

I took it as a bit of karma for the Italian off the field who caught the kick into touch that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was trying to get to

Have someone who refuses to pass play 12, yea nah

I think it’ll come down to marquee players, I want to see players I know, not randoms I’ve never heard of. If they get the marquees right I think that’s half the battle

I’m still a tad worried about the popularity of this competition, such a huge announcement yesterday and only what, 4 pages on here of comments? You get more when a wallabies team is named. I’m hoping the hype ramps up otherwise it’s going to flop before it even starts

It does have more than a passing resemblence to a bastardised hybrid of league and union. Buuuut who knows give it a crack and if it fails it fails

Hopefully they have a serious look on why these kids aren’t returning though. I get work/uni/living conditions change but jeez there’s more than a handful of Shute shield players travelling from one side of Sydney to the other every week to play for Shute shield teams. There are seldom few teams...

I was under the impression marquee players were centrally funded and then sent to whatever team needs them? Am I wrong?

I hope RA were smart enough to put a footnote in any sign off saying marquee players that are of national interest Eg McMahon - must go to the force so they are wallabies eligible

Consistency by and large isn’t a natural talent though, yes some players are more gifted at consistency than others but by and large consistency comes down to training and coaching. Remember this isn’t a Japan v SA once in a generation type occurrence, Australia is matching and beating these...

How can you say they aren’t good enough though? The talent is there. They HAVE beaten the all blacks, They HAVE beaten SA, Ireland, England etc These players have been instrumental in winning super rugby titles. The talent IS there and to say it isn’t is just bullshit and a cheap cop out. When...
