As opposed to Thorn's?

Bell, most likely... Tupou, not so much.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa...

It was a John Connolly experiment that started in 2006 when Gregan sat out the spring tour... From memory Cordingley was injured a lot, and there were not very many other decent options. Giteau did ok, but his passing from the base of the ruck wasn't the best. There were corners of the Sydney...

Yeah, I was about to make an addition... Essentially the Japanese clubs signed a number of Australian players on large deals believing they wouldn't be required for test duties due to Australia's policy. That policy has since changed and some of these guys have played for the Wallabies in the...

Which players are these? It's very simple - unless they're retired from international rugby by their own choice, all clubs MUST release a player during the international test windows if they want to play for their country.

Laurie Fisher apparently retiring after this year...

Round 8: 1. Robertson (Force) 2. Faessler (Reds) 3. Nonggorr (Reds) 4. Holloway (Waratahs) 5. Smith (Reds) 6. Valetini (Brumbies) 7. McReight (Reds) 8. Samu (Brumbies) 9. McDermott (Reds) 10. Lolesio (Brumbies) 11. O’Donnell (Brumbies) 12. Foketi (Waratahs) 13. Perese (Waratahs) 14. Vunivalu...

But the contact looks high from that angle, and Strachan immediately came off for an HIA which certainly asks more questions of what the hell the TMO was doing? Unless there’s another angle to clear him, Swinton is gone for at least six weeks.

There’s multiple cameras along the sideline, and they’re not all gathered in a huddle shooting the same thing…

It looks bad from that angle alone… At the least it’s late with no arms - they just need to determine the height of impact.

That footage is just from the broadcast… All of the individual camera feeds are being run through a record train on an EVS.

Pugh was on the ball carrier from the start of the maul as the Tahs didn’t form it very well…

It’s in the first half… Pugh was carded.

I’d have to watch it again, but I’m sure Pugh was fine until he collapsed it, which is what HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) was also done for… Edit: just watched it - exact same scenario. Pugh was right on the ball carrier and he was done for collapsing.

Qwerty assured us two weeks ago he’s never seen this penalised…

This thread…

Philip played a few tests last year and aside from one game against England he was a bit meh… Frost was also good in his debut against England and was one of our best on the spring tour. I just don’t believe Philip has the form or reputation to be guaranteed a spot when he returns.

Nah, Frost’s test form last year was far, far more impressive than Philip…
