No, it is a false equivalency, neither is the only acceptable answer. One he chose to play in a RWC for Fiji and should have lost all chances of getting a contract in Aus after that and the other wasn't worthy of getting a premium international contract in Aus.

The only foreigners I want are the Dan Carters or Geoff Parlings, quality test players who will actually add tangible. And then, one per position country wide Not second tier kiwis unable to get a squad start in NZ. If the option is "development" and signing for O/S, only with ARU approval...

It doesn't help any team to have some average unit taking up roster space, it isn't like Dan Carter is running round as the import. McIntyre is as good, if not better than the foreign units we have rolling out.

Nup, he was one of the 4

And he still shouldn't have got a Super contract

Oh, and this mind set that everything has to revolve around "a" playmaker, I am not sure if that is actually the case anymore. The best description I have seen for the way the ABs play is from the NRL and called "contract football" Swap "NRL" for the "Wobs" and ...

We could start by flicking the four average foreign 10's playing for aus sides

In the reporting of the Quigley conversation with Cheika, Cheika said that was the last time they were fit

I disagree, the Tahs may finish better but they were still way behind the Kiwi sides, every Aus side looks well behind the Kiwi sides and have for quite a while in terms of fitness. Second efforts and reaction times off turnovers seems to me to be a good measure. How quickly the team realigns...

I want running rugby to win over kick, clap and maul Go the ABs!

I thought it was a possibility as well, but less of a possibility after watching Folau and DHP catch high balls on Saturday, there was only one that you could feel confident in the outcome. But with whoever is the 15, there job would be made far easier if a few of the other backs extracted a...

I think Timani would have definitely been first choice, if he was fit, unfortunately he wasn't. Dempsey? we have a long history of giving younglings bench minutes in these and the November tests. Often it is all they ever get, sometimes it is the start of a long and successful career I...

you have a different impression as to where the Wobs are at the moment than I do it appear. I expect Aus to be ranked 4th or even 5th by the end of the Rugby championship, we aren't that good at the moment as our Super rugby efforts demonstrate

We have a different understanding of game management, all that stuff to me is down to effort and accuracy, we had very little of either and played off the back foot for most of the game
