    RWC 2019 SF1: New Zealand v England

    I think that could be the seminal moment that came out of this match. The challenge by England with players standing in the NZ half shows that WR (World Rugby) and the officials cannot do anything about enforcing their pontifications on the subject of the Haka, or sanctioning any team who crosses the line. In...

    Wallabies 2020

    At this moment, KOB, I am assuming exactly that - Brumbies to win the Aus conference, top the ladder overall and win the Super comp handsomely. I would expect otherrs to be wanting their teams to do the same (or the Reds) but I think I have a much firmer basis for my prediction. Virtually the...

    RWC 2019 SF1: New Zealand v England

    Tuilagi rushing up at outside centre really disrupting the AB attack. As I said last week, I don't think ALB is a test 12 in any way. Get SBW on and he'll find ways to get around the rush and set the No 13 (ALB) away.

    RWC 2019 SF1: New Zealand v England

    Scobar did run down the winger and saved a try. But Cane probably needed to counteract Underhill.

    RWC 2019 SF1: New Zealand v England

    Would really have liked to see the haka move forward to get in the English faces. Might have ended in fisticuffs before the opening whistle.

    NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

    Congratulations to the Force. Well deserved win. Harry Lloyd demolished the Vikings front row and had a massive game in the open. MOTM for me. Fergus Lee-Warner best lock on the ground and the Force backrow were far superior to the Vikings. After that, it was just a matter of Deegan setting up...

    NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

    That is the reasoning, but it's flawed. Actually, Lonergan is three classes below Joe and his goal kicking should not be a consideration. Either Lolesio or Keunzle could handle the kicks and offer a lot more in the game. I think Noah showed today that he is more a 12 than a 10. Keunzle should...

    NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

    Poor decision to leave it too late to travel. But the main reason is the poor front row. They have been beaten up by Harry Lloyd et al, and was alsways the issue for the Vikings. Lost 2 of the first 3 games through poor scrummaging and it has come back to bite them again. Can't for the life of...

    NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

    I'm quite happy to say that we've seen different games. Fines and Deegan together have absolutely run the game while Lonergan particularly and Lolesio have have shown nothing.

    NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

    Vikings are doing whatever they can to lose. Poor skills when in possession. Fines is so far superior to Ryan Lonergan, he should have the Brumbies bench No 9 spot next year. Harry Lloyd is smashing Angus Wagner in the scrums.

    Michael Cheika

    In 2015, Cheika inherited Link's team for the RWC. Much ado was made at the time that he shouldn't be judged until he had the opportunity to develop his own squad. In the event, his best result ever was with another coach's team and as soon as he had the opportunity to make the team his own, the...

    That would appear to be the logical option. Might be better though for Rennie's pick from his Assistants to take over to start implementing some of the changes we think Rennie will bring to the squad.

    Possible, but it would be a waste of talent imo.

    Wallabies 2020

    D, I can't agree with your rating of Joe Powell. First, Nic White is still contracted overseas until later in the tear, so I'd be against using him until he is available permanently. Of the others, Powell had the most impressive Super season this year and was rated above both McDermott and...

    Wallabies 2020

    The Force have been a revelation in their attacking play and their wingers have scored a motza of tries this NRC. The teamwork looks to be very tight and well managed. I put all that down largely to Deegan's influence at No 10. I reckon he's done more at a higher level than any of his...

    Wallabies 2020

    Yep, Petaia and Kuridrani will battle for the 13 spot. I think with the right distributing No 12, like Simone at the Brumbies, that Tevita will have lots of opportunities in Super Rugby next year to show that he's back to his best worthy of consideration. I reckon Fainga'a has more than proved...

    OK, I'm going to go out on a limb ans assume a few of the up and coming stars around the place will step up to the Wallabies by July next year. 1 Scott Sio 2 Folau Fainga'a 3 Allan Ala'alatoa 4 Izaac Rodda 5 Lukhan Salakai-Loto 6 Rob Valetini 7 Michael Hooper 8 Isi Naisarani 9 Joe Powell 10...

    Thought I was spelling Ryan but it came out that way.:(

    I will be confused if they don't all become Wallabies. Wilson maybe next year or 2022, and the others a little later.
