Great game, great effort

Gibson suggested combinations was the key @1.25

^^^ and it explains why Fitzpatrick is starting over Latu

Lets start with a 2 who can a/ scrummage, b/ hit his lineout constantly c/ not be crap around the ground. and "a" and "b" are the key, "c" is a bonus

Roach was third choice at the Tahs and is too small to be a consistently higher choice (in the front row size matters) Disagree re Hunt, I thought he was pretty good and provides go forward and strong defense We lost on Saturday because too many players gave away dumb penalties and we...

Makes sense, a shit season and going onto a review process. You need to at least look at what other options are out there if it turns to shit, Cheika could have walked away as well

He had Speight, Simone & Kuridrani to dump the ball to get some meters inside and outside of the 10 channel So back to my hobby horse and the lack work off the ball in all Aus sides to give the ball player options, inside and out, running lines etc.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) out Kepu playing apparently, hopefully less minutes Beale back, hopefully at 15 would be my preference 9 Gordon 10 Foley 11 Newsome 12 Hunt 13 Rona 14 Folau 15 Beale

"appears" and then appoints Johnson above him and adds an independent selector ..............

So what has Castle done that is so bad?

Highlights how the SMH is turning into a turd 1st column from the gossip columnist Cheika not getting some performance bonuses Clyne about to be sacked Complaining about other commentators being too positive\excited about Aus rugby Kick Folau in the week he resigns Irrelevant rumours about...

Aggressive defenders miss some, it comes with the package

Cron looks like initially a good pigs coach for the Wobs before getting a head coach role IMHO Without experience rolling straight into a head Super Rugby coaching spot is a big ask, Gibson's interviews highlight the issues That said the tahs seem committed to getting the back room structures right...

And? Hunt is still the best option and a great, angry defender

Big challenges for this year and the following (and quite different) as the guard changes post RWC
