Isn't that what England did in the first test and Lolesio put in a top defensive effort? After the English series I'm not really concerned about Lolesio at flyhalf, as I am about consistency from our forwards and the team's general ball handling...

Tom Hooper is another one to look out for in a post-RWC world... big unit, athletic, and massive workrate.

It doesn't have to be... the captaincy could fall onto Gordon again in the final minutes.

I doubt Rennie is going to bench White for McDermott...

I think Skelton would be the only overseas player in consideration for the EOYT... All of our best overseas players are otherwise now in Japan and won't be selected, which does bode well for Skelton if we're able to give him some decent minutes to see if he's up to it. Edit: Actually, maybe...

Porecki flew home with Hooper...

It’s being broadcast in 4K, and it’s now likely being filmed in 4K, but somewhere downstream the signal is being downgraded to 1080 and then upconverted for your viewing pleasure… Broadcasters are slowly catching up to the technology available.

Generally, just one or two talking heads at the ground to grab interviews/sideline commentary and everything goes through the studio hubs in Melbourne... There's some real savings in not having to fly people all over the country, and COVID certainly helped push for new methods.

It's becoming less common for the need to send commentators to the actual location... Every AFL game is hosted in Melbourne.

If you were making a decision based on yesterday's game... you'd probably drop Philip.

Lolesio had also been playing 10 for Vikings in club rugby and in the NRC...

Yeah, nah… Gardner was fine.

Finally watched it… Swain certainly redeemed himself - my MOTM. I think Philip’s spot might be in trouble for next week if Arnold is good to go. FF (Folau Fainga'a) with probably his best starting gig. Paisami, Ikitau, Petaia and Wright all played really well too.

3. Swain 2. Fainga’a 1. Valetini Good performances from Paisami, Ikitau, Petaia and Wright.

Nah, Gardner has been fine...

No Japan based players for the EOYT… https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/wallabies-giteau-law-stars-to-miss-spring-tour-as-part-of-peace-deal-20220806-p5b7qh.html

What does advertising mean for a TV station? It, er, pays for everything… And technically, no, Nine don’t have cameras on the ground… I’m sure they’ve done a cost analysis to find that they’re not going to be getting a significant amount more viewers watching on FTA to justify bumping...

Viewership, ratings, advertising revenue, production costs… People actually being awake to watch it.
