Not to mention the mighty Reds playing Saitama next weekend

It turns out they could, amazing performance!

Cracking start from the Wallaroos against France. Not sure if they'll be able to keep it up for 80 but they're fighting for everything and winning the battles more often than not.

Brumbies reserve hooker tighthead (Alatini?) Is a weapon

Scrum could be better, but as I understand they're both a bit younger and doing heaps of damage around the ground. Maul attack and defence looking really good too.

You can say that again

Harley, the Brumbies 8 looks like an absolute arsehole (Complimentary).

This is the best the Reds u19s have played this year, hopefully they can keep it up.

If it happened without RAs input and they offered him appropriate support they'd probably be clear, but if it came out that they were briefing against him I can't see that going well for them. Obvious poor treatment of the coach would also have a massive impact on their ability to hire quality...

That is forced resignation/constructive dismissal. It's a form of unfair dismissal and would leave RA open to legal action. In the end it would likely cost more than any more amicable split.

At this stage I'm much more interested in seeing the broader high performance setup at RA properly developed. I think we really half arsed it over the last cycle, only ever having either a director of rugby type in Scott Johnson or a high performance manager in Peter Conde and asking them to do...

Please no, I don't need more loses off an inability to change tactics followed by a ref blaming diatribe:

Maybe, but "taking things to far" is generally already an offence. I definitely don't think we need to go the extent of reversing tries in attempt to sanitize that part of the game. Maybe there's scope for a penalty restart to the defending team after the conversion but it'd probably need to be...

I don't think it's that big a deal that it needs to be stopped. I'd hate to go down the NFL route of trying to police try celebration when the game needs all the character and personality it can get on show. Just make sure the time restrictions are in place to keep the game moving and manage it...

I don't have an issue with that, I have a problem with Eddie using it as an excuse for not having any oversight or official selectors to work with. I don't think it's good enough for Eddie to say I've got a great selector I'm working with but can't tell you who it is. It's all a bit "my...

Whoever it is I don't think it's tenable to have an unnamed outside voice without accountability in that selector role, not if they're as important and involved as Eddie seems to suggest they are. While I haven't disagreed with Eddie's selections anywhere near as much as most, I think it's...

There have been hints it's Link for a while, though it's hard to tell if that's because it is or because Eddie wants people to think that's who it is. I can't imagine it would be Campo though, he'd never be able to keep it to himself.

So of the remaining unsigned players I'd like to see us lock down George Blake, Taj Annan and Issac Henry, I'd be happy to hang onto Wilson Blyth and Spencer Jeans, and I'm not too bothered about Sula-Siaosi, Upfield or Tauakipulu at this stage. Aubrey is an interesting one, I think he has...

Yeah, I'd heard something similar earlier in the year, maybe they cooled a bit when they got Donaldson or he saw more opportunity with Daugunu gone too? I'm bloody glad he's stayed though, I think his trajectory is nearer to what it should be for a young exciting back - a few cameos as he's...
