    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Pumas @ Townsville 25/09

    He certainly played wide a fair bit of the time, mostly on the right from memory, against the Reds. If I recall correctly McCaffrey actually missed a fair bit of the season. Pretty sure Cusack played at least once v the Reds. Valetini’s being used a lot out wide for the Wallabies too from what...

    TRC2021 - All Blacks v Springboks @ Townsville 25/09

    Boks need a fired up lock. Any chance they’ll wheel out Bakkies and just give him a free pass until he gets carded? It must be tempting.

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Pumas @ Townsville 25/09

    Although Valetini mainly plays wide for the Brumbies (but so to does Samu).

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Pumas @ Townsville 25/09

    Is it really that bad a position for McReight? No doubt he’d love a crack at the 7 right now and, personally, I don’t think he could do much more to press his case, but he is stuck behind our best player who is playing at least as well as he ever has and also happens to be the skipper. But -...

    Fijian Drua 2022

    That’s a shame Adam. Hopefully it might turn out okay in the longer run. These guys will get to Australia then, invariably, there will be a mixed level of success. Some of these guys might be ripe for transferring back to the Drua in 1-2 years. I hope so anyway. That is a better outcome then...

    What have the ABs ever had to complain about? Paddy O’Brien not apologising enough??? :)

    Wallabies 2021

    My question is just whether we know for sure that’s what he wants to do. Because, as far as I know, there statement that he doesn’t want to play 13 started from a post I made and was based on something I was told by a guy who has a mate (not Petaia) in the Reds squad. I’ve never seen anyone else...

    Wallabies 2021

    Do we actually know that? I know I made that comment earlier in the year which I explained was based on a rumour I’d heard on holidays. I subsequently asked if anyone closed the the source could verify, but no-one came forward. I’ve subsequently heard numerous times on here that Petaia doesn’t...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    You have to consider that the quote by Bob Dwyer is 30 years old and prior to SA’s re-admission back to international rugby. The talent was a lot more concentrated. Plus good players look like World beaters in great teams.

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Given that Hooper comprehensively outplayed him Mosert probably thought he’d better do as much as he could while he had Hooper nearby. Actually - did Mosert do anything else all game??? I’m kinda hoping that Hooper was saying to him ‘Franco - I didn’t realise you were playing today’. I...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Pretty sure he missed one early - but regardless a great effort in defence. When he got recalled his technique and discipline in defence was my biggest concern. But I felt that there was no way Rennie would roll the dice unless he was extremely confident Cooper had addressed his issues there...

    No - 331. Wanker is probably the wrong word. But just miserable. Complained constantly. Anyhow - enough on him. The game was great.

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    I found the general atmosphere to be okay. But gee it sucks when you get stuck sitting next to some strange wanker. Bloke looked the part - wearing his Wallabies jersey and had his kids with him. Then proceeded to whine all game and bag everything to his kids. I felt sorry for the kids. On a...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Really noticeable how Quade is going low and hard in defence and sticking his tackles. And finding grass with his kicks. Really enjoying watching his redemption - both for him personally and also for the impact it has had on the test team. Kerevi has also added to his game. Better in defence...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Most players rugby IQs wouldn’t be as high as JOCs, but Banks brings other skills. It’s just a position where we don’t have someone playing the house down - but I agree with the comment above that Banks hasn’t been fantastic, but he hasn’t been terrible either. He got out jumped a fair bit by...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Yeah - good way to look at it. Although I don’t think Wilson is really that far off. Defensively he has been excellent and his work rate remains top shelf. He isn’t making the line breaks this year he did last year, but they were mainly at Super level and both the Reds and Wilson himself played...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    Agree - I won’t be surprised if we see him get another crack before the end of the RC. Generally speaking I don’t think there is a lot of harm in a young guy like Wilson getting dropped and given time to work on his game. I think McDermott this year is proof of that. I know that there is a...

    TRC2021 - Wallabies v Boks @ Suncorp 18/09

    I thought that was Valetini’s best game in gold. Swinton might be a under some pressure, but he has done some good stuff too. I feel it is likely Wilson will have to wait a bit longer for another crack.
