So does JOC (James O'Connor)

I agree with pretty much all of this except for the pillar thing. A fulltime winger knows that are they are the defensive edge and should really know to stay out in that situation at all times. His finish for that first try was class... someone with more pace could have done it a different way...

Exactly how I saw it BH. DHP could not have thrown it any flatter. Hodge was too flat. This is a real problem with not playing actual wingers on the wing. A decent winger would have held his depth and pace holding his line off the person he was going to receive the ball from. Then abruptly...

They did look fatigued early in the game. I wonder how much impact the couple weeks of training over there had on the team. Was it a Chieka "toughen up" few weeks of training? Plus altitude. I thought Tupou was committed to that clear out. It is very hard to pull up in an instant upon hearing...

Against South Africa B? Tell me anything I said which is incorrect. You've been drinking too much of the Chiek coolaide if you think this has been a reasonably coached performance. KB (Kurtley Beale) back to the position he should have been his entire career. Much better at 15. Bringing great energy. To'omua...

Jeez we look bad. Very disorganised in attack... is that 4 times now we have passed the ball backwards directly to a defender? Our attack is absolute rubbish. Again absolutely no kick chase... how do our wingers still not do this? Defensive line was very slow. Standard dumb rugby from the...

On the back 3 selections I would have loved to have seen Pulu there. He looks to be the quickest outside back in Oz. Also has similar attributes to our other strike wingers but he actually has a rugby brain and good skills. A real opportunity missed to see how he would go at this level. Great...

Disregard. Found it on World Rugby's Youtube for anyone interested.

Does anyone have a link to watch the full game? Only thing I can find on Rugby.com.au is the highlights. Cheers

Becoming a very big fan of FF (Folau Fainga'a). Valetini looking good besides a couple of errors. Tahs no answers at the moment. Brumbies looking very comfortable and in control. They are having fun.

The sport is bigger than IF. Good on RA. His posts are not aligned with his employers and that of the sport as a whole. Not to mention the terrible impact that can have on a community and vulnerable persons who look up to him. I'm proud of our sport as a whole for pushing an inclusive culture...

I think he probably would be in the mix for the wobs after a season or 2 down here. Also being 6'4, 118kgs(10kgs more than most options and taller) and having the ability to move well, skillful & powerful puts him at least physically ahead of the other young guys his age we have coming through...

I don't think it's very hard to grasp why people see it as a bad outcome playing for Japan over Australia. Given that he is born and raised in Australia, has the talent to play at least super rugby and most likely internationally for the wobs. Most likely grew up supporting the wobs. He would...

I was championing DP in the off season however he really hasn't shown anything in super so far. I was devastated when he signed for toulon as I believed he has the skillset to go on and be a legit international 12. Unfortunately his form has regressed significantly which is a crying shame as I...

I think he may have thought the pony chaser next to him was going to get to the ball and had the presence of mind not to knock it dead. Split second decision, reckon it was pretty good. Luckily worked out for them

That's spot on and exactly what I am most critical of him. Some of his defensive work, positioning and tackling, hasn't great either. Again I'm not here to bag him, he is a kid like the other 2 contenders and I don't expect them to be world beaters at this stage. My point being I don't believe...

I think Wright has been ok. I really don't think he has been having much of an impact on the game. I am not going to bag the kid, all I am saying is that based on his performances it will do no harm to give McReight a go. Personally I think they're both still developing and McReight appears to...

Hahaha yup or timing their run off the proper ball player or accelerating onto the ball rather than already being at full pace to give themselves some wriggle room. Any of those would be a fair improvement on last weekend.

I like it Reg. Only changes I would make is Higgers to start at either 8 or 6 probably for ASY (Angus Scott-Young). I too would like to see McReight start, I haven't been overly impressed with Wright so far... can't hurt to give another guy a go. Also would like to see McDermott given a start. Stewart to be...

Yeah kinda looked like it hit his knee in the replay. Wonder how much the ground affected this.
