Classic Woodward. Good player sees an opportunity and takes it. Great Player sees 3 opportunities and takes the best one. Woodward sees 3 opportunities and tries to do all 3 at once.

Yeah, no try was completely fair, can't see the ball touch the post and the grass at the same time. Brilliant game so far.

Your guys should have been 7 tries up at least. No competency. Fa'ala'avau playing the best I've seen him play, Hutchison looks a great finisher, a 15s team will probably poach him after the Olympics.

No trust. No width. Limited skills. If it wasn't for Russia, Portugal and Wales, we'd be in danger of relegation.

Wicked game Samoa v Fiji. Showboating is fine, but the siren went, put the bloody ball down!!!!

After now having watched him in a few Super Games, I feel comfortable in saying thay Lousi seems like a piece of shit. Like not the endearing piece of Shit that is the enforcer lock, such as Dan Vickerman or Nathan Hines, but a real arse. Physically imposing, but seemingly only ever looks to...

Someone wearing a white should probably be in the bin.

I think he made the wrong call with the lock switching. You lose his sheer bulk behind the tighthead, and gets tits for hands at the back of the scrum. Although his loose running suits 8 more than Jones does 6. Otherwise it's a good opportunity for a decent side to maybe win our first...

Poor WooWah.

Going from conjecture to controversial opinion, I think that they should heavily restructure and announce an intent to go fully semi pro. Cut or merge sides till there are 8, have each of them run 3 senior sides and 2 colts sides, with U23 and U19 quotas across the matchday squads. That would...

This thread seems to be another shit fight re: Shite Shield and Hospitals Cup funding and whether or not they count as grassroots. Fundamentally they seem to be trapped between an elite structure (in a closed invitational league rather than part of a pyramid) and the grassroots aspect of...

If Fugs or maybe even Fox was fit, we wouldn't be discussing it, but with Colby down, needs must. I'd prefer to have one of Timani and Jones training all week in the Backrow rather than being forced into subbing both of them, or having one move back there with 15-30 minutes to go.

Chieka would/should want his props, hell, all his players, being regular starters at their Super Sides. If Allalatola and Sio both want to be competing for Wallabies spots, the likelihood is that one will either have to switch sides, or move on from the Brumbies. It's not picking on the...

If we can avoid picking up more injuries till the first bye, everybody but Sefa, Metcher and Mike should be fit, (except for the U20s boys). Also, is Fox injured or what?

I agree OT, but I think Cummo should start. He's been closer to the starting side across the Preseason and is a better lineout operator. Besides, with Fuglistaller, Fainga’a, Stirzaker and Harris all out, there's very little experience on the bench, he'd be a nice player to bring on.

Pretty sure you can't go to scrum from a drop goal attempt. Either that or I've been taught wrong my whole life.

Screw out on the fulls. Drop goals from 60m, as long as solid contact is made, worst case scenario is that they run in back from deep in their own half.

Thought Asquith was more an Outside Center/Wing, that's certainly what the Rebels were marketing him as.

Holmes can start the June internationals, if Weeks is fit and in form he can bench 2 of them, with Kepu getting one game to make sure he's up to date with the squad. Kepu and Holmes (Starter vs Bench doesn't matter) play throughout the Rugby Championship. Weeks and Talakai, along with Kepu...

We're a big team. We're not going to lose the ball in contact. If one of Hodgey or Jacky D is in a good position, or we need to clear now, sure, but Ellison, Shipperley, Engo, Inman can just keep feet away from ball.
