I am concerned the second part means she wants to see change to the access/use/configuration and reduce the scale. I’m note sure if it there is any serious risk of that, so maybe I am reading too much into it. But isn’t there a significant portion of the local residents who largely oppose even...

Unfortunately I think you may have misread it. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Sorry - I am probably a bit older than you, but Billy Birmingham/The Twelfth Man was pretty popular in his day. A number of his the lines from his sketches entered popular dialogue, and not just in Australia. Reference to the Aussie colours as ‘Canary Yellow’ is one of those. Depending on...

You do realise that the reference to canary yellow was a 12th man sketch, don’t you?

I really doubt Rennie is looking at it in those terms, but even if he was I don’t agree that would be the best way to approach it.

Before the game I preferred Uelese, but now that’s FF (Folau Fainga'a) has been given first crack I’d prefer he get a couple of tests. I’m not a fan of rotation/dropping someone who has won their spot after 1 game. I think it impacts negatively on both the player and team confidence as well as cohesion. If you...

Sure - and I’m not completely against change - but I have read a couple of comments who have suggested 4-5 changes. In a game where both our defensive system & attacking structure was mostly good. I guess I am just surprised at the expectations of some for our first hit out. I also think some...

I am guessing most people here would have gladly taken the draw if it was offered before the game. I’m also guessing most people on here would subscribe to the theory performance will improve as combinations build. And yet, across the pages of the forum I think I’ve read - Drop Fainga‘a...

Well - he’s no Richie Mo’unga, but he goes ok

Canary Yellow?

I commented on it because I noticed him on his haunches several times in the last few minutes and at least twice that was when we were under the pump. But part of my comment was to question whether it was fitness or if he was injured. It may well have been the later.

I suspect you may be being tongue in cheek yourself - but that is certainly a different response to the last time I recall someone referring to the jersey as yellow in a press conference. I believe some suggested he should be banished forever for that alone. (For the record I am not the least...

In real time I didn’t think it was late enough to warrant a penalty. But maybe that was just my joy at seeing us belt their 10. In a similar vein I thought Tupou should have been awarded a penalty for belting Aaron Smith off the ball.

One observation - will Rennie get himself in trouble if he keeps referring to the jersey as ‘Yellow’? :)

He even put an okay kick in

Seeing Foster complain about that after the game is one of the best things to come out of this game IMO. Pretty sure we wouldn’t have heard boo about it in public from either Hansen or Henry. They would likely have talked to the refs about it behind closed doors and it would’ve come up in team...

Some credit must go to our defence. We were flying up at them. For the same reason I’d be careful with reading too much into any missed tackle stats. Hooper, Wilson & To'omua at different stages all sprinted up at Mounga’a with different levels of success in terms of nailing him, but I reckon...

Agree completely. I thought Wilson was superb too. Carried hard in the tight, but also worked well with Daugunu out wide as well and got him in space at least 3 times. Worked hard in defence and I thought he was generally very good with his breakdown work - although I wouldn’t be surprised if...

IMO if Petaia comes in it is straight into the side & Paisami drops out of the 23. Tough on Paisami, but it’s Test football. I’d only want that if Petaia is 100%. Lolesio gives us good balance on the bench and allows us to play the same structure if either JOC (James O'Connor) or To'omua go down. Given the...
