The Tahs really need to invest in a good scrum coach, even if they're just part time. Benn Robinson was the scrum coach apparently, and he's probably not the ideal pick right now.

It's simple. One (holding back) is illegal play and a penalty, the other is foul play and a yellow. The penalty would (should) be reversed and the puncher binned every time. Of course, more should be done to stop holding back at rucks, but that's another story.

Next year is the year that the ARU has to survive before the increase in TV rights comes in. Will be interesting too see their profit / loss this year, and their forecast profit / loss for next year, which, being a world cup year, should be really painful. Anyone know the ARU's current debt...

Some of his other games edit: in the NRC, though, I thought he looked very hesitant and didn't use his size at all. Perhaps understandable for a 17 year old against season club players. You wouldn't have picked him out of the pack from the other games if you didn't know his age - outside of the...

Note that the Reds have now combined the EPS and main squads into one squad page. 32 people signed so far in the combined squad, so 3 to go. Not sure what that means in regards to the EPS or whether it still exists or not. In the EPS was Lolo and Ready. Some clarification on the EDS, which...

The only changes I would consider would be Speight for Tomane, Higgers for McMahon, and perhaps a 5/3 bench with either Horwill or Skelton to drop off. And I wouldn't necessarily do any of them, just consider. It's hard to say without seeing the side the French will roll out.

9 Thursdays, so 207,000 on Thursdays, play the curtain raiser for the Test, plus the 3 finals. Assuming at least another 23,000 viewers per game (estimate), that's about 300,000 viewers in toal, or $5 per viewer. Not great, by any stretch.

If you go back, you will find that you, actually, were the one who started the accusing. Not only is this sort of abuse unacceptable to other posters, in the context of the game it is severely questionable. Biggar was off within 50 minutes and the Welsh attack went to nothing with Priestland...

We've smashed Ireland in the scrum before on various EOYTs over the last 6 or so years, off and on, if I remember correctly. We've been up and down with beating them, though, with a few ties I think?

Someone said we are back to 3rd in the world after England lost and we won. Any chance we could get to 2nd after SA lost to Ireland?

A four to five is pretty fair. Did his role well, but the poor read for Webb's try and he gave away 3 - 4 penalties. 15 tackles was a great effort though.

None of these games are gimmes, so I think we'll only see minimal changes.

SA scrum smashed them a couple of times after a shakey start, and SA stole a few lineouts. Ireland piled on the pressure on the Boks and forced them into a fair few mistakes. Irish forwards were rather physical and strong, I think that's the worry. Agree we have them in the backs, but...

(Quote deleted) Click on the person, go to ignore. Have you watched France v Fiji or Ireland vs SA? Care to give your opinion on both those games, and us vs Wales? Play the ball, not the man.

I think we will get France, but if Ireland play like they did vs SA and we don't improve massively, we will likely lose the last two.

Doesn't mention S&C on their staff page. http://www.redsrugby.com.au/Reds/Staff.aspx

Bit of a massive Tahs bias there. I even said Foley would be our World Cup 10. He's not a winning one in my opinion, though, not if you don't have a massive Saffa like pack from 2007 or England 2003 to play behind. 4 clean breaks all night against a rusty Welsh side with 54% of possession, of...
