One of the dumbest things I've ever seen a winger do on an international rugby field Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Honestly Lou, the assistant coach in charge of defense has been the least of our worries for most of the year. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

The problem is there's no "he's ok if he's been knocked off balance" exclusion in the game management guideline. Refs have to follow the guidelines, judicial officers have a bit more leeway Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Are you sure he wasn't winking while he said that last line? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Read into it however you want - but AFL and NRL ratings on FTA and Fox on Saturday pretty much held up and were around the same as last week despite the World Cup match. Rugby numbers were down a fair bit

If I was Hooper I'd sure as hell be taking a bit of time, discuss the options with my senior players, and get the right descision. Hooper would be loving having Poey and Genia out there in those situations What exactly is there to criticize?
