I'm with BH... My take is that being in Australia gives you a stronger chance of selection come RWC time by being readily available and playing more tests throughout the various series to stake your case... In a RWC year RA will do whatever they can to increase their chance of winning by...

Swap Hodge and Foketi around and I think that's it... they're all players who have featured in the Australian squad over the past year and Edmed is the form 10 of the bunch. I don't think we need to develop Foketi or anyone else at 13 with so many players in the main squad who can play there -...

There's probably a good chance that Rennie starts with AAA and brings Tupou off the bench again... There's a lot of go forward if you have the likes of Tupou, Lonergan, Frost and Samu or Harry Wilson late in the game. Having said that, they might want Tupou's power in the scrums from the start...

I'm assuming Tom Hooper is still injured... that's a big loss with the form he's in.

I believe that silence is confusion… I mean, why would a supporter of the Australian team with the worst discipline in the competition spend so much of their free time obsessed with the infringements given away by another team? Is it… the vibe?

I’d easily take Edmed over Carter Gordon… Possibly Pasitoa as well.

Can I assume by the volume of gel’s posts that the Brumbies lost?

Ikitau cops 3 week suspension... https://super.rugby/superrugby/documents/judiciary/super-rugby-pacific-rd-quarter-final-ikitau-suspended-for-three-weeks/ https://www.rugby.com.au/news/len-ikitau-suspended-for-three-weeks-202268 He should be good for the first England test.

False equivalence?

The cost of the production for just a live stream would not be worth it... far simpler just to promote other content.

Still need more votes for Round 15 if we want to put this thread out of its misery... At least I could complete Round 14 when I put in the only submission.

I'm not sure where the confusion lies? But if the Kiwis aren't providing any halftime content, then yes, obviously Stan is not going to be showing it... but even if there was a Sky Sport studio halftime show on the feed it would be likely that Stan would not show that either, just being common...

As part of the AFL broadcast agreement, Channel 7 must broadcast all matches with non-Victorian teams into their respective markets... If these are matches produced by Fox Sports, they have Fox Sports commentary. Fox Sports broadcasts every game live, but if it's a Channel 7 game they take the...

No, I said they use each others commentators: **Those exceptions being much rarer these days.

Actually, Fox take Seven's commentary and vice versa with the Fox matches Seven broadcasts outside of Victoria (with the exception of the occasional Adelaide and Perth turnarounds)... But obviously if Sky is not broadcasting any half time content then that's just another reason for Stan not...

Well, no... I wouldn't expect Stan to be broadcasting Sky Sport NZ content, much like you wouldn't see Channel 7's AFL half time show on Fox Footy. Stan would need to have their own pre-game and half-time studio show to cut back to. I assume they didn't want to spend the money for the...

Hmmmmmm… no.

I had actually forgotten about Hodge… it’s hard to pick him ahead of anyone there, but you’d have to assume he’ll make it to fill in holes when needed.

For what it’s worth, Paul Cully’s squad for England: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/my-wallabies-squad-for-the-england-test-series-20220603-p5aqv6.html I’d say once you get past his selections at hooker, it’s hard to argue against the rest of the squad… picks itself really.
