The razzle dazzle should come after you set a platform not premeditated from the opening whistle and continued even when it obviously isn’t working . Cheika used to get pretty roasted for his run at all costs with no plan B approach. Playing up tempo , attractive rugby doesn’t mean you don’t...

Think it maybe seen as “smart” rugby only by comparison to what the Reds offered up. The Rebels did exactly what they were capable of last night . They never really threatened in attack and points came from errors and poor discipline from the Reds. Had the Reds just played structured rugby...

They have a “squad” or “people of interest” that they keep an eye on through watching live streams of games and reports back from the Academies. It’s ongoing and built over a few years. The bulk of the U18’s squad from 2019 is there, only four missing from what I can see and two of them have...

Yeah it was like they were brainwashed into playing a certain way, no heads up into what was actually going on in front of them .

That was a game the Reds didn’t deserve to win . Everyone bought into the game plan and kept saying so right until the end, “ they will be fatigued if we just keep playing UP TEMPO “ . Remember the common distaste at a similar “ no plan B” Wallabies coach not so long ago. Reds would have won...

Tate is having a brain fart tonight.......or he has been told to play this way .

The Rebels bloke who stayed down has been watching too much Italian soccer !

Dumb !

This is dumb rugby ! Either Tate and JOC (James O'Connor) have lost their brains or the coaches have , BAD game strategy!!!!

Love Friday afternoons once the NZ comp kicks off .

Think you need to select what plan you are signing up for ie standard or premium and then add sport. Should be able to do it through the app once you’ve signed up .

Thought Tim Fiangaanuku was TGS 2019?

Yeah , David would not been far off selection.

Yes Reg, competition for spots is great. Bokenham was great in the U18's, could even play 6. George Blake and Tiaan Taukipulu are both great props and will definitely challenge for a starting spot. Tiaan actually played for NZ in the U18's in 2019 at 3. Went to IGS up until year 10 then...

Glen Vaihu , GT First XV 2017/18/19 named on the bench for the Rebels for the game this Friday against the Reds . Wessells was asked about up and coming talent on Stan’s Rugby Heaven show last night and without hesitation mentioned both Glen and David Vaihu as well as Carter and Mason Gordon...

UQ Prems last few years ( 3 I think, maybe 4 ? ) mostly at #8 . Played Brisbane City in the NRC 2019. Got called into the squad last year during the COVID bubble . Played a bit of #7 in the Tahs trial this year and 6/8 last year. Good dynamic ball runner , hits hard and is quite quick. Will...

Agree with their impact on the game . The low ranking of 7’s might have something to do with how many there are to choose from . Can remember showing up to my first senior club training many years ago and we were broken up into groups by position . After looking over at the small number in...

That’s the reason Fred didn’t play the back end of the QPR season last year , his Japanese club didn’t want him playing once he signed. Didn’t go down well with all in Tigerland , particularly after all the work Benny Mowen had done with him in the preseason, but I’m sure they were happy for him...

Yeah , agree about Campo , doesn’t exactly shine . The rest were good though . Tiranui and Harrison’s breakdown of the attacking phase play in the Reds v Tahs game was great . Showed the difference between the two team’s attacking shapes and structures. Also highlighted how the Reds...

Just watched the first episode of Rugby Heaven on Stan and was very impressed. Great to have a dedicated rugby show back. They went to a lot of effort for their first crack , found the interview with Angus Gardner about new law interpretations particularly good . Makes you realise how little...
