I will break my post into a two part job for this game and the tour as a whole. As I posted before the game some time earlier this week, I expected the Scot forwards would dominate as the second row is far superior to the Wallabies, and I'd suggest that even the addition of a single Coleman...

Got to make sure the skeletons stay buried.

Watching the Scots last few games I think the Wallabies will struggle to make the gain line again, especially in the forwards. Simmons, Robertson, Moore, Hanigan and co had less than no impact, in fact they cost the Wallabies points with their "attacking" play with poor body height a key...

Right, point noted so when I next refer to the "non pious" members of the site using the language of the mighty Cheika, because I am a passionate man I do not deserve to be banned or reprimanded in any way. Standards are there for a reason. It also takes real quality to be a leader and why so...

Reminds me of the standard noddy dog yes men the politicians trot around with. Don't dare give any real critique to the boss.

Ask NAB about that. :-)

Actually would you not think that there is a significant danger of any outsider doing what happened at the Brumbies? Remember the land deals and questions of money allocated that look like they have now been made "clean" through lack of formal action? Just imagine if an outsider had a look...

He is a national coach. He is a repeat offender for bad behaviour. Every single national and pro team coach has the camera on them after key plays. Eddie Jones was caught out the week before this game and even though his words were "lip read" and correctly so as 'how fucking stupid are we?' he...

I did not even see them do it once. You do realise that it would not have been penalised if Koroibete had just dived on the ball and slid over for the try or set up the next phase. That is inexperience for you, but since Hooper in an offside position had a material effect on the game by scoring...

Yes. It is not hard. The rules are black and white. It is inarguable and the fact is his actions at the time and comments since mean that Hooper doesn't know the laws of the game. I'll go further and say that the stats over a long period, culminating in 8 YCs to Hooper mean that the usual...

In a previous profession during a non public meeting I called a Superintendent of Police a man of no honour who was loose with the truth and resembling female genitalia. His reaction by your standard, because I am a man of passionately held ethical beliefs, was out of all proportion and he...

Itoji didn't knock the ball on, if you actually watch the game Shiggins, he played the halfback from an offside position and that is what he was penalised for. He hit Genias arm who dropped the ball. and even if he did contact the ball the direction would have amounted to a stripping motion and...

I wonder how long before the NZRU works out that the game is in its death throes in Australia and they really need a plan B. I have no faith what so ever that the new ARU can arrest the slide and fully expect that the prophesy of the ARU being broke in 2019 will be very close to the truth. The...

Yes absolutely. However the same is zooming on Gatland being his usual fat headed uninterested self and they carefully monitored Jones last week as the obvious explosion neared with him. Cheika isn't getting special treatment, but he is the director's favourite because he is the gift that keeps...

FFS grow up. The Laws have not changed. The calls were correct and at worst a matter of perception. If you cannot see that Rugby is not a game for you at all then, because the rules are complex and a lot is about perception. I am as avid a Wallaby supporter as there is and as I said all but the...

If I behaved the same way on here I would be banned. Colour and personality is one thing, when you lose your bottle in the stands every game you become a joke and honestly anything he says to the referee committee on review will be coloured by that. He losing standing with the behaviour and that...

Every English coach before Jones had the same funds and players. Indeed the English team is very similar to what Australia trounced in 2015 at Twickenham. Something changed that hadn't been seen for quite a while. Also the results achieved with Japan were very significant and the regression...

Because it is a kick and it is what the Laws state.

Do you cut and paste every week Wamberal.

I don't think you understand the effect the defensive pattern is having or the flow on pressures. Have a look at the line breaks this season and how they were achieved against the Wallabies and also when why and how the penalties were conceded. The scrambling defence as I said is of the highest...
