Yeah so with those odds, roughly the probability of Wales winning is 11 games out of 20. We win the other 9.

Yeah they will be wanting to bank the bonus point and can afford a few risks to make that happen, Wales can get a bonus point as well, just not two of them. We can then put all our fliers in the game v Portugal to get ahead on PD. I just want us to come out and absolutely smoke Wales. Just...

I saw that one flash up on my phone while I was at the supermarket, have now read the article. I’d probably be reluctant to read too much into it at the moment, however it certainly isn’t a good look. We might end up going the ‘captain-coach’ path for the rest of the tournament, however long...

In fairness ‘detractor’ and ‘fan’ aren’t the same thing.

Well you have to convert odds into probabilities. TAB currently have both sides at $1.90. Factoring in the 10% take by TAB this means that both sides are a 50% chance of winning. Given the recent records of both sides, particularly when playing each other, would anyone be willing to stand up...

Yeah look I think much like my own post last night if McLennan had his time again he would have worded things a bit differently. The MSM have honed in on that one line but at the end of the day McLennan only has the interests of Australian rugby top of mind and all he is really saying is it’s...

He doesn’t but as far as I am aware that allegation is only about a single unnamed athlete? Even if you were to attribute the whole improvement in the team to doping the point still stands that a very incremental improvement makes a massive difference at the top level.

I don‘t disagree with any of that but that one call was still incredibly inconsistent with other ‘use it’ calls.

Because we breed good players. Our systems suck but our players are inherently talented. Even if you couldn’t be arsed reading the whole book read the first chapter of James Clear’s ‘Atomic Habits’ which talks about making incremental improvements to the British cycling team and turning them...

No idea - ref said ‘use it’, which they were about to do and then he blows full time. When he says that in general play the halfback usually has an eternity to actually fucking ‘use it’. It was a great game and the result means little to me but that sort of inconsistency in reffing can fuck...

The first sentence maybe?

As always its MSM click bait, a comment taken out of context. “This is the Wallabies’ most important game since the Rugby World Cup final in 2015,” McLennan said. “For all the Wallaby detractors, don’t watch the game. I think King Charles will be barracking for Australia.”

I listened to an interview with M Hooper on MMM this morning, they were prodding him a bit and I was expecting him to say he was injured. That didn’t happen however so I think he was just genuinely left out. Possibly a bit of both. He was extremely diplomatic though, I think not just the...

Isn’t he Penisini’s centre partner? Bring him along as well.

Yes that’s what I was alluding to.

I think maybe Eddie wants Ikitau to have the run in the BaaBaas game and if he announces him as the replacement he won’t be able to play?

Interesting though, I could see Ivan backing him to make the switch. And possibly wanting to get involved himself, if they get the threepeat there isn’t much more they can achieve at the Panfers. As we have seen with Angus Crichton there is detail in these contracts we don’t see I.e he can...

He won’t get broken just from playing minutes, he would play the whole game if it was up to him. But yes, if it gets to the point it’s in the bag take him off.

I think he rates him, he wouldn’t be there otherwise. He’s just not quite test ready.

I wondered about that as well, but more found it interesting that he was preferring Schoupp over Zane. However I now think it is more about easing Pone into the game rather than throwing him into the cauldron from the get go. Which makes sense, Slips will be fine and Pone can come on to bring...
