With the dazzling and incredibly innovative rugby attack patterns of unprecedented dexterity and skill emanating from our national attack coach (presently at the Brumbies as HC), the list of essential qualities the Reds will need to beat the Brumbies in Canberra should be huge, so I was...

And surely given that the June Tests are against teams we are likely to beat (Scotland will be absent its best players out with the BIL), sensible experimentation with selection is both smart and essential. Commercially and strategically the Wallabies/ARU/Aus rugby generally cannot afford...

Isn't this thread Tahs-centric only ;)? Nonetheless, I can only agree with you. Perhaps your disquiet re all the Aus franchises' defence capabilities partly reflects the fact that Grey of course is the Wallabies defence coach (and thus is meant to help all the Aus Super franchises out in this...

It's more than a reasonable possibility that Foxtel will be looking for ways to use the infamous SANZAAR current S18 'review' to cut its $ commitment to rugby and further cut its weekly broadcasting costs for live matches here. I would delightedly support any measures deemed prudent to cut...

Surely Tahs defence coach must produce a dignified resignation after this and recent matches.

Mack Mason gaining in confidence and showing some deft skills...

Gen Blue's defence looks 'ordinary'.

R3, if the ARU understood and considered carefully the strategic interests of Australian rugby - and its fans - in a competent, serious manner, they would never, ever have agreed to the S18 in its current format. It could easily have vetoed it and proposed something more likely to work in this...

It's the anonymised ghost of Link coming back here, just for sentimental reasons.

Shit, that is scarily bad. Especially when we allow for the fact that there is a big Kiwi rugby-adoring population in Aus that will likely buy Foxtel just for S18, Tests etc, they will surely stay as a more consistent rugby viewer base than most Aussies. We can be sure these numbers are...

Some thoughts from this match: - the key positive for me and in the way I assess things, this was the game when the Reds categorically proved that in their mode of play and (most) skills, they have departed the catastrophic past of the RG era. I will credit the coaching group with that crucial...

Media (P&P) has been saying his contract expires late this year and that he Pulver wants a renewal for 3 more years, namely 2018-2020.

V useful post R3, thanks, and I saw that revealing article is well. What the article fundamentally says is: The NZRU run the code very competently in NZ, have a really well-considered set of approaches and strategies to keep improving their skills etc, whilst here in Australia we have neither...

I'm very sure.

@wamberal ^^^^ I'll pay to you the courtesy your cheap insults above would not do to me or others here and thus provide you with some considered arguments against your routine apologies and defence of the rugby elites in Australia and your time-long view that the code's decline here is and...

I apologise, I'm sorry.

What would be absolutely IDEAL for Australian rugby is if both Stewart and Mason do well in Super rugby. Why don't we all hope for that!

Indeed. Just like the vast majority of posters here and journalists elsewhere when they use or quote from parties they consider are providing accurate 'inside' and 'sensitive' information. That I may adopt the same stance here is hardly surprising. What I would say is this: when I quoted...

When will people realise that McGahan is a total fail as head coach at this level just as he contributed nothing of value to the Wallabies in 2012 when he joined them. The ARU did not then want to admit or face his mediocrity so, recklessly and irresponsibly, despatched him to the Rebels...

Apparently.
