Apart from Ready, None of those you have mentioned have excelled at super rugby level. History says you are wrong on the talent identification front OR the reds have historically been exceptionally bad at developing the talent further. Apart from a small blip, we have been very poor. We...

The challenge for the reds is overcoming their own sense of competency. The QRU should give up trying to forecast who the good players will be. They should just wait until the brumbies make an offer on a QLDer and then make a bigger offer. The brumbies have a good idea what to look for. ;P

I just don't get the one to be omitted thing. I also don't get the constant talk of "needing competition for spots". Surely professional athletes are motivated enough by wanting to be (and beat) the best and being selected for the team just provides the opportunity to do that. The talk of...

Why not? His record is just about the same in terms of accuracy. Not bad. What about: 9. Genia, 10. Cooper, 11. Hodge* , 12. Kerevi, 13. Folau, 14. Naivalu, 15. DHP And they all defend in those positions too. I don't know what to do about the forwards - it's been all over the...

I don't. The tahs have been pushing him into the 13 jersey so he's been training there for a while. Then it comes to test matches against the two (traditionally) strongest teams in the world and we tell him to now play fullback again. He's not a natural union player like the kiwis or saffas...

That was very ordinary.

because it's the internet.

Pathetic.

I think you are too harsh on the guy. His provincial coaching has been substandard and he has been playing in an extremely poor team. His instincts are going to be off solely because of that. Consistent exposure to higher quality coaching and playing in a quality team will fix it - not some...

^^^^ Hahaha

A good game to watch. A pity that the ARU marketing mustn't be pushing these matches as it's obviously hurting the ticket sales and NIB is such a good stadium to watch matches at. Argies looked a bit tired and things that came off last week weren't coming off last night. That cost them...

Keep circling the wagons, boys. And from the usual suspects that are the first to call out provincial bias too.

A good game to watch. No way near perfect, but relatively entertaining. Wallabies woukd be better off letting people defend based on their jersey numbers I reckon. QC (Quade Cooper) played well, his vision and instincts for the game was lightyears ahead of anyone else on that field. Foley is struggling...

Not all, no.

I'm getting the impression that ticket sales might have been a little slow to this match. The ARU have not done wonders for marketing this match, but the QRU's utter destruction of the reds has certainly killed off a lot of interest in the sport as a whole. (no one in my office even new there...

Brexit?

Good question. We are battling against preconceptions. To eliminate that we have to be holier than holy for a long time to.dispel those preconceptions. Just as we had to with our scrummaging.

The ARU need to stop complaining to world rugby after they get dicked in a match. Our players need to stop shouting at referees during the match. Our captains need to stop approaching the referee altogether. We have a name for ourselves now and just as we have be ridiculously over dominant at...

Kerevi was on a hiding to nothing in this match - if someone drops him for that, then they should fucking drop every other pillock who's run out against the all blacks multiple times and fucking failed. He was dropped after two matches against the english when he was fine. Now let's drop him...

Moore has a three year deal. Is Ready expected to be understudy for that whole time? How long is ready contracted for? Is it reasonable for ready to stick around for three years behind Moore? Is the ideal plan for Moore to be lead hooker for a season (or so) and then Ready become primary...
