Even Darwin himself said cohesion is secondary to ability - its just the next best factor to predicting performance all other things being equal. You cant tell me a test side cant figure out lineout systems with and without Skelton. If that is actually the case we are screwed regardless.

Thorn seems more suited to a director of rugby typed role. Great bloke to have around just not as your head coach.

Basically, we need Tupou fit. Or we need to field him and try to compensate for his lack of fitness around the field for the sake of propping the scrum up.

Poo rag?

Sorry...

A truly groundbreaking revelation. This could change the face of the game is Aus for years to come.

Certainly not right now...

Halfpenny?

I dont really think he has.

When will these stupid coaches start listening to my wise and erudite instructions.

Loooooool what a zero IQ way to lose a rugby match

Teehee

Dude cant get fired. There will even be fans defending his continued selection next match thread (that hes available).

Ah well at least they showed up for it

Is that not just a function of more dispersed talent? 14 teams or whatever versus 5? I prefer that model personally. A couple of test stars among a team of club level players in a competition with many clubs. It's how most competitions work.

It was right for them and us.

Okay... is inability to defend his wing late in the game was a very large factor.

Vunivalu basically singlehandedly lost you the Blues match...

Yeah unless there's a specific injury concern there's no real reason to 'rest' a player in Super Rugby. Its just not that long. Rotation maybe but leaving Ryan out wouldn't have been my call particularly given Vunivalu is barely a real player.

I'm coming round to the view that you have both Kellaway and Wright on the field. I'd personally have Wright on the wing because I think he's a better winger than Kellaway and Kellaway has historically had a lower error rate.
