By the looks of the TV viewing figures, everyone boycotted the Fiji game.

Richie Gray hasn't been our best forward for some time Amirite. Hamish Watson has been the best forward of the last 12 months, and Jonny has been better than his bro since the 2015 Six Nations. Chuck on genuinely elite Nel, and a resurgent Barclay and I'd have him 5th best forward with all...

Let me throw up another name for Payto and Panda or anyone else to steal: Ben Ryan. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Just wanted to post a Trump quote guys. You've got a good side, still off your best though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Good: Out of Scotland Camp Bad: Into Rebels Camp Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

In so much that anyone other than Styles was considered.

Surprised a little at no Visser in the 23, and Tonks in the line up at all, but Toonie clearly wants most players to get a run, and will probably be rotating the rest through in Fiji. Very good lineout though. Centers too (although I'd have swapped em around). Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

U20s tournament is really pushing the disappointment to the forefront for me. 5 "proper" Victorians are playing there. Uelese and Tuipulotu directly from us, Valetini via the Brumbies, JP Sauni for NZ and Hunter Paisami for Samoa. Add to that Fereti Sa'aga, Rob Leota and Esei Ha'angana, who've...

Fuck is the touchie doing as well. Main ref disappointing not to notice, but excusable, there's lots of tight hits, lots of hands in rucks to watch out for. But more than a little bit inexcusable for the touchie not to flag it and stop the game. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Apparently quite a few of the Southern boys are being targeted as well :( But that'll be the issue won't it. Places well outside the CBD is where a lot of youngsters, and profiling aside, a lot of PI youngster's are based. Losing them is not ideal for Melbourne Rugby.

Not sure if the Test refs are set in stone, but Gardner's playing himself out of the test spots. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

A New Zealand loosehead folding in? That doesn't happen in every single game. :rollseyes: Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Aiming to sign both is definitely not a bad idea though. Snowden is fine, but I wouldn't consider him in the best 12 Australian based halfbacks, particularly if Genia is back. And little Red is in awful awful form. Some genuine competition, hopefully accompanied by a coach without any...

Gardner: What is in from the side? What is hands in the ruck? Edit: BILs need to start playing to the ref. Landers getting away with murder at ruck time, need to be exploiting that as well.

I thought the reason Goddard was in the squad in the first place was that Strang was injured? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Quick Scotland preview, at least from my POV Results over the last 12 months: Wins over Japan (twice), Italy (twice), Argentina, Georgia, Wales, Ireland Losses to Australia, France, England Unavailable: Stuart Hogg, Greig Laidlaw, Tommy Seymour (BILs), Alasdair Dickinson, Rory Sutherland...

Finally. You want us to stop playing Rugby. You instead want a game that looks and plays like Rugby, but whatever Australian sporting body is in charge controls the global laws, the global player flow and the global structure of the game a la the NRL, the AFL, and to a lesser extent (sharing...

Can someone explain the point Wamb is trying to make? The game is growing on a global scale. But the game is also in decline in Australia. Wamb anecdotally believes that this is because the game is too complicated for the average Australian to understand. And hence the dominant root of the...
