Just demonstrates we put Noah in an unfair position and picked Toomu who was/is past it.

If To'omua or Noah throws that pass, the Springboks would be down the other end.

Start small and work your way up to it. Once Super Rugby is finished and those picked for the Wallabies go off to do the June tests + TRC, why can't we have more Super Rugby AU? The super teams can pull up and comers from club land and Brisbane + Sydney can have a barbarians club team. That...

I reckon you could spin it as, the position Rennie finds himself in is squarely on Chieka, Daryl Gibson and Richard Graham. Chieka and Gibson never spent the time developing the next generation of players at the Tabs, resulting in Mack Mason going from promising to leaving the sport. Graham...

I would say Quades selection is for Noah and I'm hoping why Hodge isn't selected is because he's replaced Banks. It's harsh on Noah, for such a young player he shouldn't be getting experience against the best teams in the world. Just completely unfair to his development and mental strength...

With the double pump, I did see Tate use it as a way of catching the AB's out, he got that missed penalty kick from that prop thinking the ball was out. With the slow passing, I wasn't paying attention to whether he had anyone serviceable and ready to hit the ball, especially with pace.

With how poorly the Refs are watching the rucks, I reckon we just let McReight and Hooper start and re-ignite the Pooper. Way too many instances where the tackled player was never released, wasn't given a chance to place the ball as they had a defensive player over them who never went for the...

Curious, when has Australia in say, the last 20 years had the fastest backs on the park? I'd also say, you're better off getting blokes who have fast acceleration rather than top end speed. Most of the line breaks come from being able to create that initial bit of room and not giving it to a...

Fuck this. I mean, I guess the run it from anywhere means you're not passing and can't throw intercepts. So, we were 14 points a game better off under Chiekas reign?

We make fairly easy metres doing simply straight line running. Absolutely no need to go wide until they commit more in close.

So ah, releasing the tackled player isn't a thing any more?

Based on what? That's two costly no pressure kicks he's done in the Bledisloe series. Just basic execution, absolutely no reason to push that kick.

Ughhhhh. Why'd we have to play this game on Fathers day. Adds such a bloody sour note to such a nice day.

Ah the return of Pete Samu. I'm looking forward to hearing on Monday that I simply don't understand or appreciate the 'impact' Pete brings by the Canberians after his 20-30 minutes of standing in the wide channels. LL will be depending on Taniela holding most of the scrum weight because LL's...

Eh, Tom has done 14 days in quaratine to join us. Isaac couldn't have left faster when Covid hit.

I'd pay that, but if To'omua played what was in front of him, he would have known that he had numbers and a simple catch, draw and pass would have resulted in isolating Sevu and possibly a line break. OR, if he was playing what was in front of him, he'd have known how quick Sevu is and how many...

Given how terrible the backs have been, I don't see this as a bad thing, just yet. Considering Kerevi will be picked at 12 and Marika loves a pick'n'go, why shouldn't we adopt a hard and straight game plan from a running perspective? Cheika made us play an expansive game too soon and we...

Yeap agreed. 3.2 million Australians managed to turn on the telly in 2011 during our semi-final against the same team in the same stadium at 5:45pm AEST - https://www.theroar.com.au/2011/10/17/wallabies-world-cup-exit-pulls-tv-ratings/ It's a moot argument to be had when we aren't being...

Which game in NZ counts for the RC, is it last weekends or this upcoming one?
