Or if they’re not 100% confident start Hodge, Lolesio on the bench. Hodge shifts if Lolesio comes on.

Grim is picking Foley ahead of players waiting in the wings…

Thought the same with the LHP and Petaias no try

Yep, 10 too.

The only way is to keep hitting them with contestable kicks at training. Thousands of them. Whoever drops the least gets the gig. It’s become such a major part of those positions with the way the games being played at the moment. Picking a back 3 player who’s shakey under the bomb is now like...

We tried to run from everywhere, Cheik could build on that.

Coaching a juggernaut like the Crusaders is a different job to coaching the Wallabies.

Chasing the game or not, too much positive play was wasted by attempting miracle passes on the back of the play. And yes, we didn’t seem to be able to capitalize on our time in their 22. Too lateral? Are we too one dimensional with the Korobite, Tupou, Bobby V are our main carriers tactic? It...

RR, Agree on the patience. So many times we made a break, or strong carry or on one occasion intercept and tried to force the next play, which ruined the good lead up work.

Game over

what’s the cooling off period to change?

Robbo it is then. Let’s hope there’s not a game day prop and hooker incident. Left field suggestion, any Aussie hookers in MLR? I’m thinking worst case scenario, as luck isn’t on our side at the moment

Game day injury? We are required to have a back up front row. Can Robbo hook?

Vailanu at the Tahs went alright at Super Rugby level, miles away from test level though. Kaitu’u? Is he fit? Given they sent Pollard, maybe not. And other than BPA, are there any other Australian hookers playing OS?

Look up his stats on rugbypass. His running metres are closer to AAA or HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), (who do all the grunt work) than Bell or Topou, but with more turnovers. His successful tackle rate is much lower than AAA, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) or Bell. That’s without considering an Argie front row that live for the scrummage.

The game I watched, he was obviously doing it pretty easy. But that was against park footy players

The captain issue to me is; they have to be 9-12 in the backs as they’re close to the action or a forward. I’d prefer it not to be a front rower as they usually sit out the last 30. They must also be picked regularly.

We can only hope.

I understand where everyone is coming from. To me, 10 minutes in/10 minutes left shouldn’t dictate how the action is approached. If it was an incidental head clash? Sure 20 minute red. If it was a reckless, taking the legs out of a player in the air making the victim land on their head, I think...

Probably doesn’t belong on here, but Payne Haas “apparently” being offered lucrative contract to play rugby in Europe. Not sure if it’s genuine interest, his manager trying to drive up his market value, or big European clubs trying to fill a spot with a big, athletic body while the RWC is on. A...
