Talataina in might help with some power running, which was desperately missing in Ireland game

The professor is a genius. Hes not actually a comedian, he’s a television and radio producer that has been the brains behind a lot of successful shows including the footy show in its heyday, he launched the current Matty Johns show on Fox and pushed Fletch and Hindy. Has done work previously...

I have had a belief he should have been trained as a LH instead of TH.

Gordon was fairly solid.

I’m not too down on the team. We were better than the score suggests and the ref had a bit of a nightmare with some decisions than didn’t go our way. However Ireland deserved the victory purely because they were professional in mindset and tactics. Unfortunately club rugby with been a part time...

Ref having an ordinary game. That was clearly held up, I guess this is amplifying why we have the video ref. We could potentially be up comfortably against 14 men in another universe

Yeh live I think the right call would be to say no try. But would be interesting with another view

Definitely not getting the 50/50s. Clear knock on before that last penalty and pretty sure if this game had video ref the Irish winger would have got a yellow at a minimum on the Aussie winger. Would also like to see the disallowed try in the corner. We are playing well but lacking some...

Bongi even in the same discussion as Coles deserves an account suspension haha. Bongi is a solid player but not even close to the heights of Coles career and I have described Coles as the David Warner of rugby before, basically because he’s undoubtedly a legend but also a twat

I’m most excited about Daugunu. We know he’s Super Rugby standard and potentially above but it’s his speed that’s so valuable. It just opens up a few aspects that we lacked this season. The opposition defensive line will potentially be spaced a little more, our attacking shape can be a fraction deeper...

No idea. I guess they might of made mention in the announcement if he were.

I’m just saying Uelese receives the ball in different situations. Usually from a standing start 1m from the ruck and is immediately gang tackled for the vast majority of his hit ups. They don’t use Lonergan in the same situations because he’s considerably more dynamic it would be a waste of his...

What are you talking about. He’s far from been a bulldozer but he’s pretty decent in contact. Generally gets front foot ball in tight without been a colossus. The two play different roles with ball in hand for the team. Uelese is often used as a settler for the backline to organise off first or...

Uelese I’m surprised is there. His throwing just isn’t to the level required when under pressure. One thing I take exception with however is people calling him lazy, he actually has a solid work rate. His down side is his throwing and sometimes has hands like feet. But his work rate is solid...

We all need to remember we played our 2nd team against Fiji with limited time together on the field. The team named here is the best available. When some of these guys came on against Fiji with a man down we quickly reasserted dominance. On Gordon he was very hot and cold against Fiji. I agree...

PSDT is not an open side. South Africans have a tradition where their open side wears no.6 and their blindside wears no.7. Hooper as an example if he was from RSA would wear no.6 I agree there is a trend however on bigger 7s but PSDT isn’t one.

Everyone of these guys has at a minimum a train and trial deal with a super club, many have academy contracts and the remainder full contracts. There isn’t one that’s not affiliated with a super club or if we are being technical the Aus7s as well.

None because all these players signed to Super Rugby clubs. This isn’t the level players get raided that’s u18s and earlier
