The only possible logic I can see behind the Phipps selection would be Deans wanting a sniping scrum half to put on against tired legs. Even this doesn't make sense to me though. Why not put on a scrumhalf who can kick the fucking skin off the ball and make their tired piggies run all over town...

Luke was a classic second-five..JOC (James O'Connor) is a wing..what are you getting at? Did you watch the game last night?

He's already proven he doesn't know what is needed in a test lock or center, why expect other positions to be any different?

Talked to Digby for a moment last night and he said the knee is feeling much better than it did a week ago - who knows how true that is though. Phipps did absolutely nothing of note last night except for getting incredibly chatty with the referee. He completely over indulged...

Yeah fuck him for pursuing a life after rugby, right?

Couple of minor knocks to his hand/knee by the sound of it but I believe he's expected to be back fairly soon. Richo Getting pretty convinced Sias just plays drunk every game. Force picked up the wrong brother for sure.

So is having a 10 who is anonymous for 79/80 minutes. Not defending Cooper - trying to come to terms with the knots in my stomach about this upcoming series. JOC (James O'Connor) definitely owes English and I think it was Luke Jones, a beer.

Seems like it would be a stretch to even assume these interns watch rugby with those mistakes.. p.Tah And how many times have we heard crap just like this about many high-profile players in the past few years? Really don't think it's worth paying heed to any of this stuff until Izzy or a rep...

No he wasn't. He was at the back almost all game, our stand was quite vocal about it.

I was right there. I don't think he defended in the line once. He was also shit returning it from the back as well.

O'Connor was so anonymous that I couldn't help but notice how shockingly anonymous he was. He is not a 10, much less a test 10. Period.

BOOM

RedsHappy Maybe with some other guys but if anything Digby started peaking a bit after he announced the Stade move. Really class of him and he will be sorely missed. Havin anyone on the squad who can get you over the gain line with his level of consistency is invaluable.

Speaking of Higgers..boy did we shit the bed there

To be honest Taps has always looked out of place when he's played at 13. Resting Gill scares me. Rebels lack a great 7 but Higgers has been doing loads of breakdown work recently. I thought with Gill we may gain some ascendancy or at least neutralize that part of Higgers game. Not sure how to...

He's had how many years to learn the clean out techniques that most schoolboys master by 15-17? Lets not even get into the jumping in the line out end of things. Clean outs aren't exactly rocket surgery. They are fucking exhausting though which is why I lean the way I do. My issue with using...

I'd reckon plenty of Wallabies supporters are too. Pfitzy To be honest Foleys out of hand kicking has already improved dramatically this season. The fact that he is a threat running is more important to the Tahs gameplan outside of their own 22 anyway. His only real flaw right now seems to...

They lost that entire game from the ball being turned over at the ruck. It happened in the first half as well. After watching a few hundred minutes of Waratahs game film I saw Timani actually use his bulk a handful of times. He is very inaccurate at the breakdown and needs to learn how to drop...

Again!? They spent an entire year trying to fix his running mechanics to stop ithe HS problems. Not good at all. Early call but Reds by 12. My long-awaited arrival will lift the team. You heard it here first.

He could be first in to every ruck in the match and it still wouldn't matter. I had to watch the past several rounds of Waratahs games a few times for that Waratahs bit on the front page and either his technique is awful or he is very lazy. He does a lot of flopping around at ruck time. If you...
