    Wobblies v pumas - is Salta at altitude edition

    I'd take Simmons over Rodda if it meant we win 100% of our lineouts

    Wobblies v pumas - is Salta at altitude edition

    Opta sports gave Hooper 9 tackles, 11 carries, 63m gained, 3 clean breaks and 2 defenders beaten. Of course stats can tell you whatever you want but pretty amazing numbers for a player most agree had a quiet ineffectual game.

    Wobblies v pumas - is Salta at altitude edition

    I don't think they have confidence in the hookers to throw long accurately, so they don't call many out the back. This means the opposition can stay J the front and middle. No idea why they don't do more of swapping positions and bringing in the half etc. They have the plays in the book and...

    Wobblies v pumas - is Salta at altitude edition

    You don't need to hear the call to know where the ball is going. Hooper doesn't join many of the Wallaby lineouts. When he does, a very large percentage of the time he gets the ball. If I can pick that up just by watching the game, our opposition has picked up 10 other "tells" The problem...

    Actually I think my favourite bit is where he tells us the two greatest treasurers have no background in finance or economics to prove that directors with no background in rugby don't work for reasons

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Not sure which bit is my favourite The bit where they completely ignore Victorian rugby The bit where they've sent the letter to the premier clubs and will get round to the other 99percent of clubs in some unknown form at some unknown time The bit where they expect those clubs to pay...

    Who's the best goal kicker in Australia?

    Third, is a rivalry against teams people care about beating (and losing to). It's the problem Super rugby never solved, and will be the same issue for WSR. Need to be familiar with your opposition.

    The Wallabies Thread

    Ex NZ, in 2018 we're 13 tries to 9 v all opposition without scoring more than 3 in any match. 2 wins from 6 games. Need to find a goal kicker

    Yeah under the drugs policy, only RA appointed testers can collect a sample, usually at random or under supervision of the RA medical officer It's pretty black and white.

    How much time has Cottrell had in camp? Only possible explanation is he's not up to speed with the Wallaby systems as yet

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    So how do you stop the boks? Looking at how they've scored tries in the last couple of games:- * 2 x rolling mauls * 1 intercept and 1 quick line-out turnover * 2 tries from forwards out wide in the back-line providing an extra man * 1 from repeated phase play so stop the turnovers and stop...
