Any estimate of the crowd for Brisbane Club Grand final? Usually try and get those numbers in here each year. @suikocon: Club rugby alive and well in Brisbane. #ballymore #GoUni #UQ

Bled two down a fair bit. FTA 320k. Fox TBA The rating is an average across the whole game, so I'd imagine there were huge numbers at the start of the game, and very few by the end of that flogging. Cricket is doing very well for nine

Have we had an Alec Evans Medalist play test rugby yet?

Yep. We had an all time go forward performance from the tight five in combination with all time low in penalties including just one in our own half all game. I doubt we will be able to match those two next week. But we possibly don't need to. Big opportunity to do better on defence (missed >25%...

Wayne Smith saying he definitely won't be playing as well

The article also confirms some numbers. Shows Foxtel are very important but with total revenue of $120m, not overwhelmingly so.

Interesting stat. Last week was the 7th time in 10 years that we've scored more than 27 points against the All Blacks, and until Saturday, we have lost every single game...

Cheiks has two other selectors to sort him out now. If they do it, it's on them too

Who publishes the articles on rugby.com.au or allblacks.com? Also if you reckon the "journos" at foxsports or NZ Herald or etc aren't getting fed info from the teams on a daily basis I have a bridge to sell you

Think they would have been looking at resting one of the locks and getting some game time into Coleman as well

The obvious question is are the 80% possession stats a cause or a result of the terrific carry numbers in the first half?

Yeah I reckon he's looking at 5 weeks based on a medium range for this What's his previous judiciary history like? If it's good he'll halve that, if it's bad he'll get the full whack

How much is AAA on?

Looking at the stats our tight five made an almost unbelievable amount of metres with the ball. I seriously can't recall seeing stats like these ever before (ESPN) Combined the starting five + reserves made 60 runs, and made 126m (!) And it was shared around too, all of the starting 5 had 8+...

The forums are certainly going to be entertaining when it happens. Note, I don't think it should happen. The plan will be to not play CLL against NZ two weeks in a row to protect him for the WC, and they'll stick to the plan

ESPN publishes theirs pretty quickly after the game https://www.espn.com.au/rugby/playerstats?gameId=294511&league=244293 Thought Hooper was immense as well - but it doesn't really get picked up in the things that get published. Imagine what his distance covered per game must be

I reckon it will be a Genia/Foley halves pairing

I hate it, but the laws don't really make a strong case to reverse the penalty. 9.11 Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others. 9.17 A player must not tackle, charge, pull, push or grasp an opponent whose feet are off the ground.

Part of it is there has been such an emphasis on reducing the head to head and head to shoulder collision that the head to hip is now more common. This is a good thing as the evidence is those concussions are less common and less severe
