Yeah, it’s a fine line between keeping experienced heads in with all the young talent. In some ways I’d to have more of the young guys in my team but overall they need to be drip fed in steadily. You can’t expose them all at once. So I would be going with: Slipper Fainga’a Tupou Philip LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)...

Yeah I don’t think it works. Unless: In a purely domestic competition we realign to an NRC-esque model. Brisbane Reds, Queensland Country, Sydney Waratahs, Western Sydney Somethings, Perth Force etc etc. With this set up, a SOO could work. This of course opens up a whole new can of worms...

Lauries old boy here. I went to the SLC - Ashgrove game last year and Aubrey was the clear best on ground before he went off injured. Kid has some serious talent.

Isn’t it great that our comp isn’t first past the post. This is all building really nicely!

Maybe. But the Tahs were switched on and fired up from the word go as well. The perfect storm for a belting. Full credit to them - we got pasted fair and square!

Relax dude. I thought you were saying Reds started the scuffle. Carry on...

Tahs kicked that off.

Meanwhile I know they are caning us but does the ref have any interest in calling any of the Tahs throws not straight?

One assault against me and the Reds is quite enough for one night thanks HB!

You can almost hear Kearns’ raging erection.

This is a disgrace. We can’t catch a ball.

And I thought whinging Kearns was bad. Gloating Kearns is even worse! Waratahs are on, Reds are way off.

Yeah I’ve got no problem with how the Brumbies played. They still tried to attack plenty but the Reds defence was up to it. Like some others my only issue was the recalled Petaia try. Otherwise it was a cracking match - hopefully we can even the ledger in the return match!

I’ve been thinking about this recently and the ideal spot for the Queensland Country team to be based out of would be Toowoomba. Local derbies versus the Brisbane Reds would be good fun. Edit: sorry sendit! Haha... Edit edit: to be clear, I overall still want a equitable TT comp. Just...

I used to be like this. Beating the Waratahs was a huge priority. But then our overall standards slipped and each of the Aus rugby franchises started losing every single bloody game to the Kiwis. With this national slide, I began cheering for the Tahs, Brumbies, ANYONE, to beat the Kiwis. As an...

I hope Joseph Sua'ali'i isn’t tuning in to this game. Fingers crossed for a much better second half!

I’ve seen plenty of clips of talented young guys running straight through teams, but not many where they are also peeling off big hits in defence and throwing beautiful long spiral passes both directions. The kid can play!

I think NZ are starting to lose the PR war here. English writers are beginning to weigh in on the topic and they’re not too impressed either. https://www.rugbypass.com/news/smug-superiority-complex-all-blacks-and-new-zealand-rugby-slammed-by-english-writer-over-rugby-australia-stance/ And...

He was in the U18 team that knocked off NZ yeah? He was fantastic that game. Big lump of a kid. Bossed them.
