Interesting from the bloke who has been talking Darcy Swain up for 3 years. Funny how you take exception to being accused of bias towards the Brumbies but are pretty keen to throw accusations at everyone else. Vunivalu was signed to a significant contract and was called straight into a...

Well, I’ll give it a crack - - Hooper was the form 7 in Super Rugby AU (McReight did well, but Hooper was better) and he was conistently strong for the Wallabies (didn’t he top almost every tackle count + feature pretty consistently in the run metres) - Simmonds had been acknowledged by most on...

Wright really has had a cracking year. A smart footy player who has a well rounded skill base. I’m a big fan of Daugunu but I hope he has taken notes on the value of mixing your game up with some well placed kicks.

No - he hasn’t yet. Lolesio has got the jump on him and it is well deserved. Lolesio has made virtually every post a winner except one and I thing you can forgive him for not killing it vs the ABs on debut. I do still think Harrison will be our next long term 10 and I very much look forward to...

It’s great to see so much positive coverage of rugby today with regards to the national anthem sung in both English and one of the traditional Aboriginal languages. Looks like it might become a thing - which would be great IMO. It is a bit of a pity the game itself was something of a let down...

I guess we wait and see. At this point I am not aware of any concrete plan to resume the NRC. If RA can put to together a high quality NRC with 10 teams, make it financially viable and make it a clear Tier 3 comp - ie a clear step up in quality from the club rugby comps then I agree that would...

That sounds great on theory, but do the other super rugby teams have local comps of a sufficient standard to fill out two feeder teams without a large drop in quality? The standard of the NRC was pretty good IMO and there seemed to be a good balance between the Super rugby players who weren’t...

Personally I remain confident of Jordy at 13. In the first NRC I watched him play one of the things that impressed me was how he positioned his winger consistently. He did have an unhappy test series and lasts nights game was a bit of a shocker, but I think he’ll be fine in time.

Dave Rennie has said specifically I at least three seperate interviews/press conferences that the kick in behind is a deliberate strategy. Note - I am not saying they were the right option or well executed when Petaia use them, but there still seems to be some comments which indicate people...

There will be a lot of water to go under the bridge before the next test team is picked. But I think Rennie will be keen to have a better goal kicker in the team somewhere. That might well push the case for one of the young guys.

He still might have been better

Isn’t it the same now

Holy cow - in what might be the rugby highlight of the night, Jake the Muss is playing Eddie Jones in some docu-drama on WIN.

Matt Burke complaining Australia wasn’t creative enough. When it was pouring rain and no-one from either side could hold the ball. You don’t have to play test rugby to realise that wasn’t the problem today.

You might actually be cursed. When you go places do plagues of locusts turn up unexpectedly?

He’s having a shocker - but he’s also copped two hospital passes and two shocking passes from White he’d be flat out catching in good conditions.

JOC (James O'Connor) & White need to step up here and take control

How good is a good, simple exit.

Well done with the Anthem. I thought that was great.

Haha - harsh. Actually parts of the add are more negative then I remembered them being. I still think it would like be a good theme for a current ad series, but maybe focus on the positives. Still - I guess if we all remember it positively all these years later it was obviously a well...
