Foster just needs to drop Dane Coles and Shannon Frizzel (although I'd say Aaron, but he's more of a pest than anything).

That Hooper penalty at the end of the first half, Noah kicking it from the 50m with all that wind and Hunter doing that readable cut out pass sunk us. Just astronomical momentum killers.

It's almost like we're in a post RWC rebuild with a new generation of talent. Honestly, I've got no idea what point you're trying to make?

I see the 'dog act' is the three amigos who put the 'whistleblower' in that position. They knew what time was curfew, they let everyone down by choosing to keep drinking. I get its tough being away from family and friends for so long and I can cut them slack. But, I won't accept that it's the...

I think the tune would change for many people if Hunter was knocked out in the first Bledisloe. I'd welcome Kerevi back to the squad even if it was simple to bolster the squad depth. In any event, Kerevi looks to be in Australia quarantine based on his IG.

Rodda gave an interview earlier this week where he's mentioned his fitness isn't up to the level expected at international level. Which is due to a combination of the NH focusing more on physicality and Rodda coming back, quarantining and not expecting to play in the RC. Unless there's an...

Remember Radike had to play on the wing because Drew was undercooked from and S&C perspective and did his hammy (or was he being rested for the next game?). So I see that as a failure to plan appropriately and that Drew blowing his hammy was a foreseeable risk that did not pay off at all in...

Deans reverting playstyle between winning the Tri-Nations and the RWC was more cancerous to Australian Rugby than Quades actions. Convince me otherwise, but we had a coach who played at 35 year old number 8 on the Wing during a RWC game.

JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua seem to be busted, with no cover at Fullback, I'd say there's a real chance that we'll see Quade in the 23. Quade and Marika could be a pretty lethal combination - Marika and Digby share a lot of common traits and we've seen Marika or Hunter coming back on the inside has worked...

Or you know, we could play the entire RC in Queensland where there's three stadiums. Living and training in Townsville or the Gold Coast region in winter is a pretty mint place to be. Imagine spending 7-8 weeks in Dunedin sober......

Would be interesting to see if ASY (Angus Scott-Young) continues playing in say Japan/Europe if he doesn't get picked by the Wallabies. I reckon he'll want to keep playing until the body gives out. From what I've been told, poor Johnny Roe can't swing the hammer above his head when he's knocking your new knees...

Nick Sanchez has been flopping on the ground for over a decade so it's nothing new. I don't think a law is required, but, for flippers, they need to be educated at how dangerous of a precident they're setting. If Refs think someone isn't really injured and play continues, the floppers could...

Nope, not in Queensland at the moment. Just had to wear a mask any time you're not in your seat.

If the TMO and O'Keefe were that intent on ensuring player welfare, why was the French try with their No. 9 leading with his forearm to Tate's head not pulled back? Looks near identical to Kerevi's 3? match ban in the World Cup.

Marika can join the rest of the Rebels squad who are playing QPR at the moment. I'm sure we can organise 3 games in 10 days for the West's boys to play that Marika would have played had it not been for his suspension

Soooo why was the head tackle of Ikatu not looked at for 20 minutes? Was it because he didn't clutch his face. No wonder a Frenchman can't win the tour De France.

Surreal to see that Marika has more caps himself than all of the other backs combined. I am much more excited for this 15 than the other nights. Hopefully Swinton doesn't get the red mist as well get massacred playing with 14.

Shame Kerevi is going to Toyko. With Hunter becoming more of a ball player, it would pose a very interesting 12/13 combo. A inside ball from Hunter to Samu would be amazing to see.

Was fine on my Sony tv with the Stan App. Was also fine on my iPhone using the Stan app while I waited for kick off.

Wright suffers from an inability to find ways to inject himself into the game/get his hands on the ball early. From memory, Podcasts where Turuni, Drew Mitchell or Lote Tiquri have been on, they've all mentioned about getting involved in the game early to help adjust and settle the nerves...
