To do that, the players need to be well coached year round - not just when we are playing tests. Is that actually happening now? I believe two of our franchises are poorly coached (one of which, with a ridiculous degree of ineptitude). It is evident that the wallaby coach has to first undo...

@TOCC and @RugbyReg et al must have just about spat out their weeties reading that :P I am really glad I had a positive influence on you to renew. :) Despite what I may say on here - I will be raring to go before every match next year just as I have been previously. We Are Red.

I think SBW acted admirably and it was a great gesture on his part irrespective of what has subsequently come out about the kid. SBW acted based on what he thought at the time and I think better of him for it. He should be banned from all professional rugby for a year for making an Australian...

Given the kiwi dominance of the last 4+ years, a World Cup victory is a just reward. The current wallaby coaching staff have done an amazing job to come from the terrible position they were in 12months ago, but there is clearly an enormous amount of work to be done if the wallabies wish to rise...

But will RG put the centre pairing the right way around? He has shown a tendency to have very unique thoughts on how the game should be played.

These days it's considered poor form to suggest anything. Ot: probably be a bit of a bruiser game. I just can't gauge the teams ATM. Are the wallabies war weary? Are the all blacks cruising? Should be intriguing. Really hope wallabies give it all and win. This week is already hell.

The Green Beacon Brewery serves up absolutely stellar toasties as well. The Reuben is exceptional OT: I think the wallabies will win this one, but even with Pocock and Folau playing I wonder about just how fit they actually are and what level of impact that may have on their performance. I...

It's difficult to discern the squad structure the reds are aiming for next year.

That last penalty was not what cost the Scots the match. I think letting in 5 tries with 2 conversions, as well as 1 other penalty goal might have had something to do with Scotland's loss. I think anyone (be they Scots or others) who wants to fixate on that one moment to the exclusion of all...

I hope the Sanzar(&Arg) teams win. Southern hemisphere is best hemisphere.

Of course the corollary to that is there a series of unfavourable outcomes, in which case it could be worse than before. (well, that didn't take very long)

As any wins that RG will get as a head coach are purely down to good fortune, then as with any random chance event there is a possibility of a series of favourable outcomes occurring in a relatively short duration. Ergo, there is a statistical chance that the reds may have a reasonably...

I have already renewed. My wife and I don't really have a lot of opportunities to get out together and dinner followed by rugby is pretty good generally.

That's unlikely given RG's record. I can only recall one player that has debuted for the wallabies whilst being (head) coached by Richard Graham during his time at the Force and the Reds. Plenty have stopped being picked though.

From all I heard and saw, he appeared to be trying really hard to succeed this past season. He had attitude problems in the past, but I can't really recall anything untoward this season. He hasn't played well, but that would be difficult given the circumstances and he is hardly alone in the...

Off field yellow given. @Shiggins was obviously right to be concerned. Kudos for standing his ground against some pretty awful posts IMHO.

I seriously just don't understand how people can repeatedly say such things. A penalty try going into half time 14-10 and possibly another all black in the bin could have had a massive impact on the psyche of the Tongans. Conversely, the referee totally bottling like he did it could easily...

Try right click on reply and then open in new tab and you may be able to quote in the new tab instead of a scripted window thingy. On Topic. I am so nervous about this match. There so many unknowns that I just can't feel to which team is likely to win. Just hope the match plays out to my...

I don't understand scrums at all. When Australia do that, we get penalised for illegally wheeling the scrums. When the opposition collapse, the scrum is reset because the footing is bad. When we collapse, we are penalised for collapsing the scrum. I just have NFI what the hell is...

And Beale gets turned over. Again.
