Super week sounds great. 5 games probably won't fit into one day, so perhaps Friday night and Saturday afternoon/night. Maybe Sunday. Anyone have the good oil?

That jingling jangling sound that makes the world go round (courtesy "Cabaret ").

In my view the first photo shows Ofa in a crouch getting ready to make the tackle while the second one seems to show that he has driven upward causing the collision with Wright's chin. It looks to me that Ofa could have kept his tackle around the chest area but didn't. I would say it throws more...

D, we possibly need to get away from wanting all, or any, of our SRAu teams to be at the standard the best of the Super teams in the past were. Without lowering the standard of play to an unacceptable level, we could conceivably run a competition domestically with maybe up to 8 teams of...

And put in an absolutely top class game in the Brumbies win against the B&I Lions in 2013 (?).

Yeah, his try off the back of the scrum/ruck? was vintage Isi. I am convinced no other No 8 in the country would score there.

Yes, Philip needs to be in every test side he's fit for between now and the RWC and he'll be the experienced hardhead we need in the pack then.

I'd expect Hosea to again come close to a test spot against Argentina. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) a bit quiet but could come in for Slipper if he's out with injury. Interesting that he played LHP this game. Conal McInerney had a very strong game but I don't expect him to force his way into the test side. Naisarani was...

NZ probably need to learn from the Pooper; neither Pocock nor Savea are/were 8s - they are 7s and selections should reflect that.

What an impressive turnaround by the Wallabies after Bled3. Recent history might suggest that they'll now revert to their poorer form for a couple of tests before coming good with an eyecatcher again when least expected. I will be looking for Rennie to break that sequence, especially with the...

BPA absolutely killed a try scoring opportunity when he failed to pass inside to Petaia with what looked like a three man overlap. Swinton is a real tosser.

:(:mad::p

And what's with the commentator calling Neville "Hosea" and Hosea "Neville" the whole game. We should expect more.

Anyone know who the ref is for the Argentina/Aus A game is? Very poor effort by him up to the first break. Is it the much over-hyped ref who came from WA and had charge of some of the SRAu games? Consistent if it is, I'd have to say. Conal McInerney having a strong game while Tomas Cubelli has...

And so say all of us. :rolleyes::)

Of course. Bell is a Waratah. One of the chosen ones. But seriously, I reckon he would make a better No 8 than prop. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) is a far better option imo but seems to have done an Ala'alatoa and swapped to the tighthead side. Now he's behind both Ala'alatoa and Tupou.

With two lineout callers starting it was the ideal situation to try Hosea off the bench.

Assuming they get ball to kick. Similar forward pack got a touch up last week. Nothing about this side suggests a different result this week unfortunately. However, good to see both Swinton and Tom Wright in the side. I don't think Swinton has developed as well as expected since the U20s...

I am a fan of Maddocks at 15, and for a while I was a voice in the wilderness supporting Jack. I also have a lot of respect for HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and expect him to come into Test considerations. I am not anti Tahs per se, especially since KB (Kurtley Beale) left, but there are few other Tahs who are good enough and have the...
