    Australia vs South Africa 8th September

    Agree with that What I find interesting is we went much more conservative with Beale at 10, way more one-off passes, with Genia as the play maker rather than KB (Kurtley Beale). Looking at a few of the more recent games against Ireland and New Zealand, we were up around 1.8 to 2 passes per ruck. Against...

    Australia vs South Africa 8th September

    Use these stats as you will: Number of passes against South Africa this week 9 - 64 10 - 11 12 - 4 Number of passes against new Zealand last week 9 - 80 10 - 19 12 - 25 It really is a completely different game plan with the different backlines Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Didn't he have a shocker. 0 successful tackles. Penalised for the dumb kick which cost 3 points. Should have had a red card for the high tackle Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Refereeing decisions

    I just watched the replay and I still can't hear the ref say that (I may well have missed it!) He gives the secondary signal that looks a bit like a closing drawbridge which I understand is the signal for forcing the palyer out of the scrum - not standing up (although that is what it might get...

    Law 3.33 Replacements can come back on for injured front row, blood, HiA or anyone injured cause of foul play. It's to encourage teams to replace players that need to be off the field (eg for their assessment) Rodda can stay on if Arnold fails the HIA Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Side (for various reasons) was missing Slipper, Kepu, Coleman, Pocock, Dempsey, McMahon, Kurindra, Kerevi, Phipps, Izzy and Foley. Probably a few.others Now they won't all be starting but if you'd told me this time last year we'd have the Boks covered without all of those I'd have said we were...

    Refereeing decisions

    I put it up cause it's always an interesting one. There's no law specifically against standing up into the scrum. So you must always be penalised for something else Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Refereeing decisions

    Taken from the match thread. For this scrum (for this picture if you'd like) Would you penalise a team, if so who, and what law are they breaking (please provide a reference) https://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=19

    Maybe the Wallabies were penalised under the least penalised law in the book

    Australia vs South Africa 8th September

    The ball carrier tossed it up to the half from the ground quickly and I on't think the 9 was really expecting it. Everyone seemed pretty much onside
