he "didn't take it like a man" and he didn't just "stand tall" though. He started something - backed down when the kiwis continued it and then tried to stand up again when the referee came to the rescue. The kiwis tv show was right to make it a thing of ridicule.

Nah. He doesn't stand up to them at all. He starts it and backs down when they continue it. He goes totally silent when outmatched, and only stands up as soon as the referee arrives. The "enforcers" such as etzebeth et al wouldn't have waited for the referee to arrive and wouldn't have tried...

He's acts like a jerk a lot. He starts some shit that he can't cope with - and is called out on it - and as soon as the official turns up he turns around and acts all brave again. Classic. I don't enjoy watching him play, because no matter how he plays the ball, he undoes it all with his all...

I enjoy that video so much - defines Hooper so aptly in just 30 seconds.

^^^^^ hahahaha......... He's hilarious. no one does rancid clickbait quite as obvious as Spiro.

And if I wanted to watch a Queensland origin team beat up nsw, I could just watch brumbies/tah match anyway.

Did Pulver really suggest it be played minus wallabies? Wow. Fail.

I'd give it a score of about 6 out of 15.

I think DHP is also looking really solid. I don't mind either, tbh. Israel gets over the gain line almost every time he runs the ball, so it looks like the opposition have already worked out his flaws as you suggest ;P

Due to the dominance those two have, so many opportunities are opened up as well. It's just a shame we haven't been able to make use of those opportunities. And now we will be faced with a year without Pocock - such a huge loss.

^^^^ It's too much though. Any one (or possibly 2) of these "accommodations" could be accounted for, but we have just so many across the park that I don't think the players can cope with it. Just simplify it back down and the wallabies would be better for it.

Give him time - he'll destroy the relationship with some of his players and then we'll see how good his man management is.

I think Foley is generally ok, but he suffers from a lack of legitimate options due to gaps in his skill set. I think his running and passing game is actually pretty good, and his backup play is really good. The lack of length *and* direction of his in play kicking game and a fairly average...

To those bemoaning the lack of 50/50 calls going our way: We will not get the 50/50s going our way until our players stop consistently screaming at the referees for every conceivable infringement. Stop complaining about it - it's our own players causing it.

You didn't miss a thing. It was obvious from first viewing. The only thing that made it a legitimate try is the referee awarding it, which just so happens to be the most important criteria. :(

It was obstruction. Clear as day from the very first viewing. There weren't too many problems with the infringements the referee penalised, it was the infringements he didn't that were the issue - and he was extremely forgiving of the Irish. This who are saying that to whinge about the...

I don't get the Mumm dislike thing. I reckon he does a pretty ok job. If we ever need a blatantly cynical infringement in our own 22 then obviously Fardy is our man, but Mumm does alright otherwise. Ireland will be tough.

I still maintain the QRU talent identification team should just be to ask their players if they have been contacted by the brumbies: if yes then sign them, if no then let them go. ;P The brumbies talent identification has historically been very good so they obviously have a clue or two...

Very, very lucky for the wallabies tbh. Very disjointed (as expected), great try by TK and some of the guys will benefit from the experience. I still maintain this was a bad call on the team selection, but then I am big (or little) enough to realise that may be why I am watching it from a...

Win. Every. Test. That simply has to be the mindset.
