Via Reddit Not that I believe it, it was just funny.

My preference is to use the home based players as starters in the early couple of rounds of the season, say: 4. Jeffries 5. Cummins/Toolis 6. McMahon 7. Colby/Reid 8. Timani With Day and Mafi off the bench as they learn the systems and get a little bit of rest from the Top League, then look to...

O'Connor looked pretty good in the NRC, what's up with him?

All we know is, he's called the stig

That's a lovely picture.

Think it was a simulcast feed unlike what 9 and 10 have been doing previously. I recorded on BeIN because I recorded the other 4 games then had to drive the parents to the airport at 6am

My question is more around the lines of who and or what sets the selection criteria? Given that it's neither a full international, nor an "A" fixture, why not call it "Australian Barbarians" rather than Australia XV and play Tupou.

Is this an A game, and the players get locked in, or because the Frenchies nominate their U20s it counts for jack shit and Tupou should be playing?

No announcements from the FFR, ARU, or Broadcasters, domestic or otherwise suggests to me it might not get shown at all, let alone shown live.

Slight addendum to the Rankings earlier. No major positional changes, just some points.

Mafi just excels on the international stage. Wasn't ridiculously impressed with him at Bath, but with Super Rugby being a bit closer to Test level than the English Premiership, we might just get a very good player.

Who's the next one? Argentina?

Just saying. You deserved to win. A line ball decision wasn't made (my heart was in mouth, and I do support Australia when they're not playing Scotland!), then a slight tactical error, both after the hooter is lucky because of the timing. Luck (and/or poor reffing) typically evens out over...

Having only seen the second half, you weren't lucky because you didn't deserve to win. You were lucky in the sense that a different ref (dare I say, a better one?) would have pinged Pocock for not supporting his body weight after the hooter. And lucky in that the drop goal wasn't taken 2...

Really looking forward to the Sevens series starting up again. Streams of Australian Players is ok, but I want my Jocks, my flying Fijians, and speedsters from all over the World.

Do a variation of what the three Not Nots do in the English pyramid. Separate 1sts, 1sts Colts and maybe the 2nds into a new "Shute Shield". Put the rest of the grades as the new top tier of Subbies, with Promotion and relegation. Elite teir runs the 16 week regular season and 3 rounds of...

Far more Importantly, according to the Calculator, the rankings now look like this: #TeamPoints 1 New Zealand 94.57 2 England 89.84 3 Australia 88.14 (+0.62) 4 ↑ (5) Ireland 83.67 5 ↓ (4) South Africa 82.57 (-1.93) 6 Wales 81.77 (+0.05) 7 ↑ (9) Scotland 80.57 (+0.79) 8 ↓ (7) France...

Misread that comment. Woops. Been a good November window so far. Lots of competitive matches, and a handful of upsets.

Stupid money. Be even stupider if he didn't take it though. It's one thing to turn down 4 years at 330k for 3 years at 275k or something. $3.6 million starts to set you up for life after footy by 25 if you've got a modicum of financial sense. Following on from that, you can more or less chase...

Pocock very very lucky there. Good win in the end particularly with all the changes.
