The French are apparently likely to be loaded with their 2019 U20s. They would probably be a bit bewildered by the prospect of facing Angus Bell at test level.

Neither of them should be competing with Paisami for the 12 spot.

I would hazard that the NZ gravitas and reputation is at the All Blacks level only for most people here in Aus. Apart from the rusted on fans, very few others probably know who the NZ Super Rugby teams are or where they represent.

And was looking directly at where he hit him. Not saying it was deliberate, but certainly not entirely accidental.

I think Kaitu'u was quiet in the last couple of games and I'm not sure he is ready for test level. Rodda's form must be a bit of an unknown. Is he even playing top level rugby somewhere? Not sure what to do with the hooker spot, but on form in SRAu I'd be starting Neville in the second row with...

To the players, maybe not so much to the fans.

Yep, ok. Simones right foot was mostly obscured by the scoreline panel in the bottom left corner.

Have another look at the vision of when Swain tackled McReight. He was committed as Berry prepared to blow the whistle in the background. He did his best to pull out of the contact and really there was nothing in it.

Adam, clearly Simone was not off side. He may have been in front of the last feet in the ruck but that means nothing in goal. He just has to be behind the goal line, which the shot at 83.51 shows. It also shows Stowers with his hand on the ground in front of the goal line which puts him in an...

Yep TSR, Allan has been off his game a bit since his suspension, but he was as strong as ever in open play again last night. What a happy place for the Wallabies to have TT and AAA in the THP spots. In my view of things, Valetini schooled Wilson throughout the game. But again, what a fortunate...

FF (Folau Fainga'a) nd Tom Wright were fortunate to not have a more severe sanction, agreed. Don't agree with the other observations.

Great ending to a fantastic season. Just to appease some dickheads here, I will point out a couple of very poor but important errors from our impeccable Referee. A turnover by Lonergan in the first half was penalised. Swain was yellow carded for a completely legitimate tackle on the ball...

Yep. He set up in a boring in position and the whole scrum went left with him. That was a prime example of what the Reds have been doing all year in the scrums and up til now, getting away with it. Incidentally, a very poor decision some minutes beforehand to penalise Lonergan for an...

Could be forgiven for thinking there was a secret edict to the refs this weekend - no red cards before we have to play those bloody Aussies next week.

For the greater good of Aus rugby? Oh, hang on, if that were likely they'd have supported the NRC like all other States did.

Dct, I don't watch any European rugby these days, but I recognise all of those players perhaps except LRZ (who's he?) from pre-RWC2019. If that's the best they can produce, I'm pretty sure they'll have trouble with anyone the Boks put out. Having said that, however, surely Kolbe is now entering...

I think it was posted as a response to Wamberal having a dig at the Brumbies front row.

That was the scrum makeup that led to collapsed scrums being play on if the ball could get past the front row's feet. Still a blight on the game today.

Well, someone should have the balls to tell the truth. Pity it might have to be a player.

Of course Adam. Are you saying you know more about the player, the game plan etc than the Brumbies coaching staff? If not, then suggest you qualify these sorts of comments as being in your opinion.
