The first try was well earned from the Blues- I kind of feel that the Force should jump to compete if the ref is warning of a yellow for collapsing the maul. The second try was disappointing from my point of view. Letting the opposition score twice in 5 minutes. Grrrr.

Good half of rugby :)

Richie!

Well the Rebels getting flogged is a good omen for us. What would've been the chances of two strong performances by Aussies over the NZ teams.

Would love it if we did. While we could be doing better on the ladder so far, we are 1/1 at home. Win your home games and pinch a couple away and you could be up the right end of the table come the end of the season.

I agree that coaching sucks, but you can't tell me we wouldn't be better off with the likes of Will Genia, Luke Jones, Paul Alo-Emile, Peter Kimlin, Liam Gill, Zack Holmes, Peter Betham, Kurtley Beale, Nic White, David Pocock (okay an exception), Greg Holmes, James Horwill and a handful of...

The sad thing is that Australia would have the talent for 5 teams if Europe did not have so much money to throw around. Same deal with South Africa. The talent drain has less of an effect on NZ because you have the depth to wear it. If there was a little less pressure from up there and we had...

Does it really surprise? The ARU have run the game in Australia like a Mongolian clusterfuck for the last decade. Another shitty decision wouldn't exactly be ground breaking. At least if the Force are cut, we get to exit the sinking ship quickly and won't have to put up with another decade where...

I have only had time to catch the first half. Apart from the whole Romano situation, I don't think Hoffmann has been terrible so far. I might get my head bitten off by some for saying this, but I completely agree with whoever it was who said that the Kiwis are killing the game with their style...

I would put Liam Wright into 7. The couple of games he played at the World Championship last year were fantastic. Then I'd switch ASY (Angus Scott-Young) to 6.

It doesn't matter what you intended or not, lumping the Tahs in with the Kings and the Sunwolves is a burn. Plenty of teams you could have picked in place of the Tahs.

Quality burn!

Must be good money on JMR as first try scorer.

The big argument for the Rebels is that you guys are creating some stellar U20s who will be the backbone of a great team if you can survive the next few years. Don't know much about your finances/operating costs though.

How do you get 10? I count 8 (based on the team list on the wikipedia page): - Saia Fainga'a - Anthony Fainga'a - Joe Powell - Tom Staniforth - Les Makin - Tom Cusack - JJH - Ryan Lonergan The same amount of titles you have won in the last 12 years.

After 20 years in competition, remind me how many Canberra products are playing for the Brumbies.

Big pack. Lots of jumpers. Will the Brumbies maul their way to victory with Coleman out?

By what metric are the Force spoilers? It isn't our fault the Tahs made poor passes and poor attacking decisions. It isn't our fault the weather in Sydney is shit. If we didn't cock up half a dozen line-outs, I reckon we'd have won that one- does that make us spoilers? Perhaps we should be less...

Hopefully we can keep it up. I loved our counter rucking efforts. I feel like this is underrated Australia.

Never judge a team on one game, especially if it is a season opener, especially if it is a season opener against an Aussie team.. Both the Tahs and the Force are a lot better than what we saw last night. Foley and Holloway will make a bug difference. The Force will be a different beast with...
