And how good was Carter's body height and leg drive too.

He takes the ball to the line at pace with the ball in 2 hands....and it works!

That is such sad news about Read. He is a fantastic player and from what I hear back from NZ, an even better person outside of rugby. Good luck to him and hopefully things turn out well.

It's in NZ so get in the mood.

The missing BBQ could be at Manly Sea Eagles Peter Peters home. This could be "Fridgegate" Part 2.

Spot on, he could be another 'tweener' between a lock and a No 6. We already have a good one of those called Fardy but Jones' time will come.

Problem is that you cannot define "contesting" as jumping. Line outs are won and defended by props at the front of the lineout who never leave the ground.

You're not the only one Scoey, we've just got to keep the faith that they'll all emerge as leaders. Your observations are accurate although Hooper carries all the attributes you'd look for except test match experience and that is coming quickly.

A solution is going to take just 2 things - leadership and accountability. It's amazing how good things happen when they work in tandem.

9. If non-throwing team does not contest for the ball, the straightness of the throw is not considered. If a defending line out team has just one player raise an arm to the throw, does that constitute contesting for the ball? If not they're going to have to devise more bloody rules for the rules.

Poms solid but thought some of their larger lads struggled moving laterally. An expansive fast game will expose them I feel.

Rule 7 has no chance of longevity so why experiment. Imagine Broadcasters accepting Folau being sent off the field when they are paying for his appearance to sell advertising and pay TV subscriptions. Or NZ fans watching Richie being walked. Poor rule and if referees grew some balls when it...

Reports were filtering through GAGR that Dean Mumm was killing it in the UK. He was at best a pop gun lock when he left Oz after countless opportunities to impress at Super and Test level.

Good pick up, they were very generous with their praise and unbiased in challenging the ref's calls too.

Rugby is finally catching up with other professional sports by recognising the importance of the bench. Football coaches have long recognised the power of having a balanced bench they can utilise effectively, and keep players fresh through rotation. Many upcoming Super Rugby and Test matches are...

Genia's box kick needs a lot of work. Different to his NZ and SA counterparts he struggles to keep his kick close to the sideline so that his upcoming defence can pin the receiver and ball down. Far too many of Genia's kicks land 15-20m infield and a good team will shift it quickly and make you...

PM the selectors asked club coaches to help them out by nominating players so they could field a team. Don't get too caught up on who played, it was simply a hit out for the U20's and selections were mainly down to availability by position.

It will be rugby league's challenge to fix that unfortunately.

Wow

Horwill very strong tonight....good stuff.
