Coach takes out the captain and the most experienced man on the field. His replacement straight away loses his first two lineouts (including 5m out on the attack), almost loses the third, and drops the ball in the opponent's territory, zapping any momentum his team might have had. Pathetic.

Australian rugby is perhaps at its lowest ebb (performance wise) in recent history, and we've had some shocking periods over the last 12 years.

What a fucking schmozzle.

I feel sorry for McIntyre because he obviously isn't up to playing at this level.

For the second week in a row the Sunwolves were on the other end of a fairly ordinary refereeing performance. The rookie refs are seemingly being sent out to these games to cut their teeth. To concur with what someone said earlier, the Singapore experiment needs to be put to bed.

No there isn't. So why are we left with swill like McIntyre?

The lack of depth in Australian rugby on full display tonight. 30 bigger plodders you will not find.

Based on the two performances, Brumbies are going to wipe the Tahs off the map next week.

Reds look like you would expect - farking clueless.

I'm still kind of dumbfounded by the quality (or lack thereof) of the roster at the Reds this season. Surely they must only be using something like 60-70% of the salary cap?

Think KB (Kurtley Beale) just got lucky with the winger cutting back inside and running into him more than anything.

Got to say I thought referee Ben O'Keefe had a pretty poor debut. Made some glaring head scratchers. Hopefully he gets better because he didn't particularly look up to refereeing at this level based on that game.

Seems to be a slightly strange decision for both parties to sign a contract so far in advance. What if To'omua does his ACL and his value plummets? What if he has a great year, starts every Test for the Wallabies and helps to win back the Bledisloe, and he changes his mind about leaving? Hmm...

I don't see any reason for Kane Douglas not being part of the side moving forward. But you're right, we lack depth in key positions. I can't think of too many obvious up-and-comers, whereas we know New Zealand have them coming through on a conveyer belt.

ARU really needs to capitalise on this momentum. The future of rugby in this country depends on it.

What the fuck is going on with this feed? It's the god damn quarter final of the World Cup.

Is there a salary cap for non-Australian Super Rugby teams?

Wow I can't remember a score line more unreflective of a game then this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scotland are quite possibly the most boring rugby nation on earth while Japan are among the most exciting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was disappointed to hear Marto and co when I fired up the world cup opener this morning. Hoping for the northern hemisphere commentators next time (just not when we are playing them).
