Interesting feature from the NY Times - not sure if you can see it behind a paywall or not...

What's the metric for winning back the CC - win by X or just beat em!!!!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edit: Then we can play the role of team being together for a while and the poms can be rusty.

Agree. In the past when the June tours took place, my recollection was we'd traditionally roll the visiting teams with the explanation being either: (a) a 'B' team was sent [read:France a few years back]; or (b) NH team was 'at the end of a long season' and were fatigued-out. Now it's the...

I said exactly the same thing the other day but was told we don't have the kickers to pinpoint the bomb?!?! A bomb is a bomb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's got some heft. Like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True but it does stymie my wish of a fully Fijian-Wallaby backline Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But not Wallabies eligible right because he's played 7s for Fiji?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Again, can't some of these other Ellas [my understanding is there are 3 of them FFS] pop on down to training aside from English training? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My takeaways from the presser: we're OK because Cheiks confirmed that with his style of play: "It [losses like that] will happen sometimes but not often"! So we're FINE!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the stats has Pocock about 12-15 kg north of McMahon. The latter would appear more mobile for sure though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because I'm bored at work I've run a calc and it looks like our starting pack is only about 1kg less than the Wallabies starting pack from last week, so not too drastic a change there. Still about 25kgs lighter than the Eng pack from last week.

Shades of a Waugh-Smith thing

That's the thing - I always thought if we're in that attacking zone, get the ball in the air and Israel does the rest vs a pinpoint GarryOwen?

Why aren't we bombing for Izzy anymore? I remember all the footage of SOO and his early Waratahs days where it was considered nearly a sure-thing. (Not saying that this is the underlying problem or anything, but it's bloody good telly)

IIRC Benton and Cheiks were frenemies in 2014 when the latter made comments on the Brums fitness levels which DB was in charge of? He then ended up helping the Wallabies pre-RWC last year after which Eddie poached him! Mick Byrnes is on the record as not ruling out being part of the Wallabies...
