Hunter's rustiness is expected no? He's missed what 2ish months worth of games spending time with his wife and kid. It would have been great if he could have stayed sharp/fresh playing games locally, but unfortunately we didn't have that luxury. I'd say Perese will have a similar problem...

Geeez the amount of force and weight behind a Taniela and Skeleton pairing for 30 minutes its terrifying. Hopefully they dish up some 6 nation medicine to the home nations.

BR, I had to re-read this to make sure you weren't talking about Pete Samu who had the same problem. Couldn't translate his Super Rugby form into performances at the Wallabies.

Not too bad to be fair. I ain't going to stay up for that, but, this whole WFH situation means, I can get up at 6 on Monday, make a fry up, watch the game and still log in before I would normally get into the office.

Geeezzz, GR's piece is all all over the shop. Starts complaining about SJ, then talks about how RA needs to do something else, how agents need to be involved and then that Noah needs to eat more food. Would be nice if she actually explained why player agents need to be invovled in the...

Reg, for those of us out of the loop. Can you elaborate on this? I haven't paid enough attention and I can only see it as; the clubs were meant to let their players go, they probably put a bit of pressure on them to say we want you back in Japan and if you don't X will happen. Other than RA...

Ah, I too can't wait for the Scots to have the Raeburn Shield after we just throw an undercooked Perese into the starting team, rather than manage his game time.

Plenty of EPL stars have slight niggles every international break happens where their clubs lean on the players and say it's not wise for them to go away. There was even a shit show last month when the EPL teams went to go play their South American players who were told not to travel for their...

I'd imagine they're a tad nervous after Kerevi busted himself against the Pumas.

Inversely, we don't seem to mind when the Fijians, Kiwis or Rathbone do something similar to us. My fear for Hansen is, he'll be discarded after playing one or two games for Australia when he may go on to play a few more with the Irish. Bit harsh on the bloke either way.

Ah KOB, I see you've got selective memory. Somehow you forgot about Kurtleys assault charge that was "dropped". What about the cocaine picture incidents? Then there's breaking protocols of him and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) inviting a women into their hotel room. Pissing outside a club in Brisbane and being fined...

Beale has shown on a number of occasions he's cancerous on team culture, why the he'll should be bring him into what appears to be the best team environment since the late 90's and early 00's? Vuna spilled the beans why he and Kurtley got in a fight last month -...

I don't get this game plan. We're so deep that we get the ball 20 metres behind the gain line. I haven't seen an inside ball since the first 30 minutes. Seemed to be working well then?

6'2!? They must be doing the old Will Genia trick of getting your height measured with the same metal tags the props use.

With Kellaway and Wright starting, surely our backline height average drops under 170cms?

Pone has been a squad player during the international block. It'd be a bit shit on Sio/HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)/Orr to make them fly across to Europe to pack scrums at training and then do 2 weeks quarantine. Although, at the rate NSW is opening up, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) would probably just be home quarantining?

Paddy Ryan is in San Diego, Ollie Hoskins is at London Irish. Both would ok to be Pone's replacement.

It could do something with when BPA's contract actually runs to. While the Reds probably aren't going to hold him to turning up to training if it doesn't expire till Dec-31, BPA's attitude and presence at training would be helpful until he heads overseas.

I mean, the bloke did a shinbreaker, got a yellow card and the Saffa's scored straight after. He's exactly like Latu pre-2019 RWC.

With Lachie Lonergan staying at home, McKellar had to ensure his Brumbies quota was picked. Still baffling how the Brumbies reserve hookers are being picked over Mafi (I'm assuming BPA has been released to get set up in France).
