Just adding some balance here.

Marco POLO

Suggest that RUPA gets involved early on this one, particularly after the ignorant way the ARU handled the Dublin matter without them. Integrity applies at all levels, not just with players.

My comment was in relation to the signing of Folau. Giving him credit for that is like awarding the waiter a Michelin Star for food prepared, cooked and plated by the chef.

Please don't give any credit to Allen for signing Folau. All the heavy lifting including the initial approach was done by others. Other players who signed were in 2 categories. They either wanted to come home like Phipps, Beale and Hooper or they wanted to play for the coach.

Hopefully Penrith league team.

The Springboks best chance is to bore them to death.

After watching both tests yesterday, one noticeable difference is in the body height and leg drive of the AB and Wallaby locks. Ours just don't seem to able to move bodies any where near as well. We hit higher and stop, the AB's hit lower and leg drive. Importantly they do this in both attack...

Doesn't Sydney Uni own the "World Rugby" domain?

So far so good. It will be interesting to see whether any coaches find a loophole in the new laws and exploit it. Maybe they have already and we and other coaches haven't picked it up as yet.

Simmons is the Wallabies reincarnation of Al Baxter. Both seem like nice chaps, both wouldn't bruise a grape.

We can't fix everything overnight. How do you eat an elephant - one bite at a time. Probably start with; Basics Body height, leg drive, running straight, picking the right players in their correct positions. Defending the 5m line out. World rugby knows that the Wallabies are vulnerable to the...

Any solution for the crisis in Gaza?

I think about it from the player's perspective too. When you're upside down, or making split second decisions under pressure on whether a player in your peripheral vision is a team mate or opposition the colours of the kits make a real difference.

He sure isn't a "Happy Hooker"

The train has left the station Snort and you seem to have judged the whole journey at the very first stop. Hang in there and give it some time, at least a few complete rounds.

Don't know a lot about him but here's hoping.

Hooper could have been on the left wing when that final scrum formed for all the help he could have provided. Great teams would have had a clear plan of how to retain possession until they forced a penalty, scored a try or took the field goal option, irrespective of where the scrum packed and...

Boidin is a no nonsense hard 'on baller' but is he big enough to play lock at Super Rugby level?

I don't know of a standout but there's plenty of time. Cheika has demonstrated his ability to wait and get the right player before.
