Hodge was defending in midfield most of the time.

Sounds like a waste of $ by the NZRU tbh. Five gives them 4 very high quality sides and another good side, which increases the standard of the national side. They lose players who play for other nations, want more cash, and can't get Super or All Black Opportunities, or more often a combination...

Can we start getting some "Please respect the kicker" coming up on the at the ground screens? Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, doesn't matter, just a little bit irksome for mine.

Why does Kerevi kick?

Let's get pumped! There'll be a good performance by the Wallabies and the little bit more inexperience will shine through for the ABs. Darkness by 15.

Every game without Chris and Dan increases the average games per goal. Halfback as a kicker helps that IMO. Think the last one we kicked was Duncy Weirs winner against Italy back in 2014. Not been something Cotter likes, and we'll definitely not see that change under Toonie. Surprised that the...

Fair reflection in the end with the spirit getting up 20-16. Far too many errors from the Rising. Positively, I liked the contributions of Toolis, Fox and Tupai, while the scrums, Lineouts and Mauls were excellent, at least until Uelese came on (still needs to learn to throw!) Defense was...

Happy enough with the pack. Fox has played pretty well I reckon. Ah-mu needs to swap with Sefa occasionally, would get the former more touches and the latter a bit more space IMO. Jack needs to keep it simpler. Definitely need someone (Quade Cooper, Ben Lucas, anybody else) to come in and keep...

High intensity, equally low skill. Good scrummaging at least.

If it's wet, you kick your points, kick for territory and let the opponent make all the play, amd consequently, most of the mistakes. To play any other way is to say style ahead of results.

Timmy Cahill is a stupid signing for the integrity of the A-League though. Number of clubs not happy.

Pretty happy with that. Nice to see Tupai and Ah-Mu get a run. Maddocks, Dom, Toby, Siliva and Colby are the ones missing that are not in the Wallabies. All injured?

Weakest City side since 2014? No Frisby, McIntyre, Kerevi, Hunt Lalaoifi or Taefu from last years all conquering backline, plus no Neville, or Gill.

If the Table was based on jersey design. 1. Brisbane City- Clean and Classy 2. Queensland Country- Same Reason- but City's colour scheme is better 3. Rising- there's a reason both the British and the Americans picks red white and blue, 4. Spirit- would be number 1 if not for the stupid blue...

WTF Wellington?

Can't wait.

Is Dom. Is good.

His performances since he's left Australia.

I'll trust your judgement on all that. Personal experience of channels is stay out of the tram lines, have a scrum buddy next to you on attack, and be away from your fellow fatties on D. While as a supporter, I know that 1-3-3-1 is a risky but potentially productive forward formation :p Think...

Interesting. Doesn't really matter, Rob, Colby and Jordy are the best back row regardless of numbers and scrum binding. Just would think given how highly he's rated (Craig McGrath believes he can be the Wallaby number 8 at Japan 2019) they'd give him a go at his preferred position.
