It is as straight forward as we had any right to ask for. It doesn't get any easier than this.

Yeah. It makes no sense to me. BUT like Quade it's kind of irrelevant right now.

Both completely entitled to. Does that mean that I shouldn't be hopeful as a WB fan? Hardly gifted. All I'm saying is that we don't/can't meet NZ, SA, Ireland, France, Scotland before the SF. That draw is definitely gifted. The claim that it would be amazing if we don't go deep makes no sense...

Presuming that we step up into the massive opportunity that is presented to us (poor opposition in the Group, and not hitting the top 5 teams until late in the comp) we are pretty much gifted making it to the SF. Surely that is deep, but I would call that result pleasing not "incredible". Of...

We should ease over Georgia - though a wet track might spice things up. Agree on putting forward our best team, but no need to push injuries for this game.

You have Hooper and Arnold as the two primary jumpers. Over-reliance on Hooper suggests that it was going wrong with Arnold, or more likely the call. It was weird to see the consistency with the setting the maul from attacking line outs from the #2 slot in the lineout. Surely there are call...

Sorry, what was the issue causing the lineout problem? McReight? Or am I misreading you?

No we don't "continue" to get killed in the line outs. Like yourself I thought the lineout not up to speed against France. But prior to that it had been going very well. I actually think that EJ (Eddie Jones) had solved the line out compromise with Big Will utilising Porecki and a second jumper from the back...

The "bands" or seedings had Aus placed in Band 1. On current rankings it is arguable whether we deserve even to be in band 2. England are in the same favoured position not deserving to be Band 1. Both South Africa and France aught be band 1 and for that matter Scotland should either be band 1 or...

At this point the continued Quade fixation has stepped well beyond boring. For both Quade fans and not. He isn't there. He isn't coming back. Get over it, and can we please leave the match threads for, well, the fucking match?

French did seem to make some easy yards through our D, but we did take it back when we had the ball. Thought there were some communication issues in D between the outside/fullback and the centres. Maybe that just needs more time. I'm sort of resigned to the 0-5 at this stage. God knows though...

I'm also leaning on the ESPN stats. I guess it's just easy to find them. Team stats suggest to me that the EJ (Eddie Jones) strategy/game play is working - he's done pretty much what I would hope for. Not convinced? Aus possession: 55%/50% Aus territory: 63%/59% Note that it didn't seem that we often won the...

There is nothing in the RA release about arrogating the Super licences. There is something about "the whole truth" that is missing OR it is bollocks. It's a pretty bizarre fear all the same. Brumbies are the most successful professional rugby franchise we have. I'd suggest the same about...

Thanks, mate. The potential for impact from less-than-supportive SRU continues to bother me. I can only agree on a drive forward with strong leadership. There is clearly an opportunity in front of us with the big years coming. It's great to see RA planning a path through it.

Statements of support from: RUPA NSW Waratahs Qld Reds ACT Brumbies Western Force Excellent. Next, I'm looking for connectivity and support from and to the community game where Member Unions will continue to oversee and deliver the Community game. Particularly, what is the state of support in...

There is one problem and one only with Dane Coles. He is not Australian.

That's what worries me.

Me either, however my understanding is that French law is largely coded civil law - where the written word takes a higher standing than things like common law. Maybe our legal posters could comment? Derpus?

It is actually starting to look like a program that former XV players and those knocking on the door could find really enjoyable. High level rugby, in an entertainment atmosphere, being lauded for just doing rugby. How good can it get?
