Yeah, Vunivalu would be the biggest risk in that backline, so Wright on the bench in place of O'Connor. Personally, I reckon Foketi offered a lot in the second test against the Argies and had reasonably good combination with Ikitau. I'd have no issue with him at 12 or at least considered for the...

Relatively small time, compared with my expectations. Something along the lines of entering a private equity partnership with Silverlake leading to the Australian Brumbies competing in the SRAO competition and having a team in the Mitre 10. Ah well, probably a good move if it doesn't put the...

Needs to stop seagulling, sure, but also needs to learn to scrum legally.

McReight was YCed for three breaches in the lead up to the try. I thought the ref said he was the culprit on each occasion but it could have been a team card. One or two Argies certainly could have been carded but so could both of Tupou (diving on a player on the ground) and Koroibete (no arms...

JB, surely the weaker scrum cannot be attributed only, or in the main imo, to the hooker. It was Tupou who was multiple penalised, not Slipper or Lonergan. Still, we'll be better served with FF (Folau Fainga'a) and AAA against the Saffas. Agree totally that Tom Wright is not a No 15. He probably doesn't think...

Lonergan was one of the better Wallaby performers. Very active in open play and didn't lose to his more experienced direct opponent, Montoya.

Pretty much nailed it Reg. With the disruptions through injuries etc, it was never going to be an easy game for the Wallabies. But they did show some good skills in attack, especially with Valetini and the centres. The Pumas won the game in the air. None of our players at the back, Wright...

I'd be more concerned about the bench front row than the Nos 22 and 23 for this test. Gibbon, Pollard and Fa'amausili must be the least experienced front row combination since the game was first played at this level. Don't anticipate seeing them on before the 68 - 70 minutes but if forced on...

Kellaway one wing and I think Brad Lacey the other. I also think Kellaway's record still stands.

I also disliked him as a Wallaby. Had he been at the Brumbies it would have made no difference. I don't get why there are a few Tahs fans here who are happy to have a shot at the posters rather than the message. The excrement being thrown at Marce atm is an example of playing the man rather...

Wamb, I note your comment, "If it's muscle. But technique and experience matter more than extra weight." Fortunately for you, it is known that you are a Tahs fan so you have avoided the wrath of Pfitzy for having the temerity to question the value of Skelton. BTW I agree entirely with your...

Fucking bullshit BH and you should be better than that. I am consistent in my dislikes. I disliked Rob Simmons as a Red and as a Tah. The side he played for was immaterial. For the record, I reckon Jed Holloway will be a smash hit at 6 for the Wallabies. He just needs to repeat what he has been...

Well, he's not a Brumby and he's not a Tah nor any other Aus team. Get a life Pfitzy and stop obsessing over the Brumbies and their fans.

Does he pack with his head in, now?

Why even consider a player with deficiencies that have to be covered by another?

Looks like a ready made No 12 replacement.;):p

Interesting that the Law requires the catcher to be returned to ground safely, but no mention of ensuring a safe retention of the ball by the receiving team. The ball presumably needs to be played on as soon as it is won. That seems to be the interpretation in lineouts. Both incidents could...

True. Corey Toole had a hand in all four of the SA tries. Probably his worst game of the tournament. HH gets monstered these days and probably has seen the best of his days.
