I’m pretty sure the JB is saying it’s a new low for BR to pick on Koroibete for having an off night in a game that everyone else had an off night as well - except I believe for Slipper, AAA, Valetini, White, and Tom Wright apparently had a much better game than the shocker everyone else saw...

OK fair enough, I just wondered about 'the look' to an outside body like WR (World Rugby). And I guess it's just a decision with regards to one game of the tournament, albeit the most important one.

This Commonwealth Games debacle just now isn't going to be good for Melbourne hosting anything outside of AFL.

I noticed that Jonker launched a forensic on that one trying to find evidence of an angle above the horizontal. Just an all round proper good tackle.

The Bledisloe squad whenever it is announced will reveal a lot. I would infer that any player who is the current squad but not that one has had their RWC dream terminated, barring future injuries. Ikitau being the exception as he will obviously fall onto the rehab list, and possibly M Hooper...

The side we ran out on Saturday was not full strength and was weakened considerably once Ikitau had his scapula broken in the action of scoring a try by an illegal no arms tackle. These were the front line players not in the 23: Tupou Frost M Hooper Gleeson Samu Petaia Kellaway Ikitau for 70...

Only if Kerevi is now a selector. That said it is a logical solution, however I'm warming to the other option thrown up, that being Foketi at 13.

I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on Friday’s game, that Tongan backline was pretty hot and our team had been together less than a week. Once they settled in and found some rhythm they went pretty well. Plus it was really about our 3rds bar a few players eg Tupou

I see one scenario that could happen - Fozzie gets complacent and runs out the 2nds in Melbourne. They’d probably still flog us, but I also think we’d turn it up if they disrespected us like that.

If you think the Rennie Wallabies were going to elevate from the worst win/loss ratio ever, throw in a few worst losses ever BTW, to world champions, you are dreaming my friend.

This World Cup cycle is largely a write off so on one hand it makes sense to start thinking ahead to 2025 and bring more of the next gen into the system. On the other hand, the thing that keeps us alive is the piss weak pool we have managed to jag in the World Cup, and if we are able to...

Banks broke his arm again.

Looks like Marky and Gordon are pretty unanimous and everyone is just picking a random forward to balance it out a bit.

I know what you’re saying, it doesn’t hurt to throw ideas out there. The idea of this one is to get the higher profile players back into the club system and create a bit of mystique around the selection of the teams for the Super rounds, which would become quasi representative teams. And having...

The one that obviously wasn't checked was White being cleaned out off the ball. Compare that with Kerevi's arm brushing the Oscar winner.

What about a merged model? This is just some preliminary thoughts but why wouldn't this work. Using NSW as an example: Say there are 35 contracted senior players per franchise. There are 12 Shute Shield clubs so each club gets 3 contracted Tahs players (one only gets 2) via a tender process...

It could have but Porecki was playing well and I always say why take a player off if he is going well. I doubt Faessler would have got more of a run in the same circumstances. I actually want the old days back when you could only make a sub if there was a genuine injury.

When is the Bledisloe squad announced? I expect Eddie to be brutal, Tom Wright for one will be back playing club rugby.
