Not sure our second half tactics of knocking on as much as possible and getting demolished in the scrums is the right approach moving forward.

The forward pack must just love seeing that Tom Banks knock on

Hopefully DHP watched AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) pick up that nice little kick through to score the try. Foley kicking himself out of any World Cup contention

Could be a client of both. A player agent and a financial planner

The Picones could (just about) put out one hell of a team - and I'm sure I've missed a few. Rangi Rodda Hocking McMahon Gill Naisarani Genia Cooper Magnay Kerevi Kurindrani Pulu Lucas

In this squad, Hodge, Petaia, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), JOC (James O'Connor), Beale must all be some chance of playing wing. I'd certainly prefer all of them defending there ahead of say, DHP

I've seen it argued that the way teams defend these days, with 13 players in the front line, including the open winger, they are defending more like the outside centre used to (with the fullback covering the wing up or back) So maybe that explains why we're seeing centres out there

Hodge is probably in the team to kick for touch after penalties. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's probably one of the most important roles in any international team these days

Or is it us just not having very good wingers at the moment?

Why would the (assuming you mean elite) players agree to that? They want competition for their services so they can get paid as much as possible

I reckon the issue will be players who have already played regularly for the Wallabies, and think their spot in the squad is relatively safe. They are already leaving, but at least we get some of them back in the years before a WC. And just to be clear, the Wallabies will probably be fine...

It might drive the best players to leave though

The domestic rugby deathblow?

9222 total attendance for the 4 grades Shute Shield finals. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/shute-shield-final-crowd-decreases-40-per-cent-as-sru-boss-labels-move-west-a-success-20190824-p52ked.html

Pretty much as expected other than no Powell. Just two nines. Oh and no Jones, but Dempsey

It's pretty incredible the heat LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is copping for this compared to what CLL is getting for the single worst play of the whole game (how many times do you reckon the coaches mention no shallow aimless mid-field kicks to the ABs back 3, especially from full back when no one else can advance in...

Not quite. England player was being assessed for an HIA. While this was happening the ref watched the big screen and eventually gave a winger a yellow for deliberate knock on. While both those players were still on the pitch (but coming off), Wales restarted quickly with a cross field kick and...

If I told you he rates Rob Simmons would it change your mind BR? ;) (Rugby Ruckus podcast from a couple of weeks ago)

Don't they just need a cattle prod for whenever the 10 does a shallow clearing kick straight to the best counter attackers in the world from behind all of his own players so they can't advance with a proper defensive line? Foley must have been giving Lilo a few tips over the week on how to make...
