It is amazing how all 4 hookers have had starts with the Wallabies. It’s almost like juniors were the rep coach picks all the kids from his club.

Reds with a big chance to silence the critics. Brumbies would no doubt like to land a few blows to keep the Reds down. Pity we are part way through the week and no match thread yet. Maybe the Reds are that far down in calculations. Looking forward to the game. At the end of the day if the...

There aren’t too many THPs playing league

Haha - very nice whoever added the name confirmation. Very well done.

Isn’t that an old article that Jones already responded to. Pretty sure that one proceeding Jones referring to V’landys (the horse racing guy) ‘the horse racing guy’ or something along those lines. Edit : either that or V’landys (the horse racing guy) is just rolling out the same lines repeatedly. He does strike me as someone who would...

Seriously though - is there any reason to think there is more substance to it than before. This rumour has been going around for years and plenty of people have been happy to repeat it. When you say it is chatter around Brisbane is there actually a source of any substance?

Different versions of that rumour have been running for about 4 years. Admittedly it is looking a more likely option these days.

Sure - and he has a big mountain to climb. But you asked if his dream was over. If you listen to Jones he is clearly prepared to try and keep Vunivalu engaged. Doesn’t mean he has any less to do than he did a month ago, but it appears very clear the door is still open.

I have only watched the mini games of the Tahs & Rebels games so I’m not going to vote, but from what I saw this is pretty close

Yeah - it can. But I don’t personally think what Ardie did is even remotely in that level. When we talk about player welfare what he did do Carter Gordon was far more reckless and stupid then his hand gesture - and even that I think is a massive overreaction to say we should suddenly consider...

I don’t think anyone’s World Cup dream is dead at round 2.

I just have trouble imagining someone would do that in a game - basically that means he allowed Anstee to have a shot at him. If he did do it deliberately then good luck to him. I always appreciate someone who can have a laugh at their own expense. Joke is done now though - please don’t ever...

I agree. To me the gesture was not the issue. As above the reckless way he grabbed Gordon and threw him out is and issue and then he appeared to want to go on with it with several other players after being sent. Those things I do have an issue with. It looked like Alex Mafi handled it pretty well.

I’m sorry. I’m not going to start judging the character of Ardie Savea on one incident - even if it was poor on his part. Maybe my memory is failing me but to my recollection he has always played very hard but very fair. That doesn’t absolve him here and the outcome will be what it will be,’but...

I may be in the minority but, while I think he shouldn’t have done it, i think too much is being made of it. I don’t think it should’ve been a red and don’t think he should get suspended. Won’t be the first person who does something silly in the heat of the moment. I actually thought the...

Appreciate your support Lindo. Personally I’d be happy if we shut down the Tahs tomorrow and send all their fans off to the Pitcairn Islands.

Just give it to the Reds player.

Interesting Upfield has been preferred on the bench to Faifua. Is Faifua injured?

Well, I guess Koroibete missed the memo. Apparently he didn’t. I don’t know the guy personally, but that was what was reported. I’m sure he found himself on the field occasionally but he didn’t play much. There are some key differences in skills sets and it showed early in Koroibete’s career.

I think the difference is though is that, to my understanding (may be wrong) Koroibete didn’t play much rugby growing up.
