Just thinking that. The dill is gonna get carded again.

I’d have him in at #8 in a flash.

I’m glad Ikitau has been retained at 13 too. I think he’s looked sharp but has flown under the radar a bit. I hope he keeps building.

Reckon you’re a bit off the mark here. Bullrush is quality.

Another one where the AB isn’t actually on the ball, just holding the man. I cannot comprehend it.

I saw a tweet from a very reliable rugby reporter saying that during the third Test the ball was in play for just 26 minutes. Incredible, and not in a good way.

Genuine question: are they? I thought Swinton was a pretty good and established lineout jumper?

Past, painful history tells us the All Blacks will come out next week absolutely raging and crush us. But will they do so this time in the new Ian Foster era? …probably. But maybe it’s the eternal optimist in me, but it’s not quuuuuite the same ultra threatening AB team I’m so agonisingly used...

Only just beat our B side! Nah of course, ABs win fair and square. Our goal kicking really screwed us over there, we missed every opportunity to squeeze on a bit of scoreboard pressure. And then couldn’t run them down. Hopefully we take take the good stuff and build on it for a better showing...

Years back when there was all these wraps on this up and coming under 20s star named Andrew Kellaway, the one thing I remember people saying was that he had a great knack for being in the right place at the right time. Certainly proving to be the case so far!

Stewart McSweyn might give the 1500 a good shake tonight.

Bugger. On the plus side I’ve now got my ‘lol you only beat our B squad!’ excuse ready to go.

I can’t believe we won that. To win despite being a player down for almost the entire match? Has to be up there as one of the bravest Wallabies results ever. My voice is shot to pieces - it felt like the whole stadium was going to mutiny when Korobete got the red card. I’ve since absorbed every...

Do Valetini and Wilson have a bit of trouble getting back into the starting team now? I thought Swinton and Naisarani were excellent. Supported by a great team effort mind you, but still. I felt they looked a bit faster and more agile, without losing any of the grunt. It was absolutely wonderful...

I’m now prepared to add my voice to some others and say I don’t think Banks is the right fit at international level. He doesn’t have the power to get through those little half breaks, doesn’t have the passing game to get others through them and promising plays die, and is a bit light so gets...

It’s incredible. He just doesn’t seem to give a shit?

Doleman doing Doleman things. That pass looked ok too?

Back to class Villa boys.

Really pleased for the SLC boys. Really disciplined all season and got the rewards. I felt the game vs St Eddies was a bit of an anticlimax - the ref blew the pea out of his whistle in the final 30 mins particularly, with both sides getting slammed. It all led to a weird fizzer of a finish to...

Absolutely respect that TSR, however for a good proportion of the game the Hurricanes were sloppy too. Missed tackles and lots of dropped ball/bombed tries. The result of this was a closely contested match between two teams on a similar level. However, those absolutely crucial howlers turned the...
