I was out at the ground and haven't rewatched the game. But what did Robinson do that was so bad that he was a "waste of space"? Scrums were pretty good all night

Whilst I appreciate that all rugby players should be warrior monks and return to their cells after a game for self reflection, moderation is the key. But for some, like me, who are just shit at moderation and just "nah" is the better option

I think Sio would have been starting if he wasn't coming back from injury Smith vs Robertson? I think that Robertson is a long term solution and a technically very good young prop, but not yet a starter. A more prudent option could have had Smith starting if Sio wasn't ready. But having...

Every team has issues dealing with a rush defence, so why weren't we doing that rush defense?

TPN was pretty good until the head clash, til then he was making yards, tackling hard and hitting his lineout targets

The only word I can think that describes the effort yesterday is "passive". No speed off the defensive lineout, no accuracy or speed to clean out. Just lots of effort to get back into position and put your hand in the air. The backrow is simply lacking. Hanigan was a boy against men...

You will need Dagg as part of the de-fanging one of the Lion's key strengths, the contestable kick from Murray, Sexton and Farrell. Defuse that and they don't have a lot else except crash ball and set piece

It is much better than it was earlier in the week BOM now says only 30% chance of rain and not much at that

Aus by 3

Timani of 2016 or the 2017 version? Because he hasn't been exactly brilliant this season I think Arnold is there at the moment to add punch for the final 30 minutes, it isn't a bad option

What else does he need to do, I thought he was bloody good

Nabuli scored some of the best tries by any Aus winger this season (and from long distance) and also does some really stupid things, it is an "interesting" decison

They got it right, Housten was considered a solid yet unspectacular backrower for an average team Beale was described as the type of player who makes the other top players around him look better in one of the best teams in the comp and they really missed him in the final. I think the big...

That is quite a quite a different opinion than the UK commentators

the thing is that it isn't "cheap", it takes a consistent investment in units, and when those units don't get that turnover you lose numbers in the defensive line and gives attacking sides options to exploit elsewhere Rugby has changed, ruck work is all about decision making, when the poach...

I don't see Moore as finished, in a coherent forward pack playing direct and tight he is still an asset. Latu maybe the future, but at the moment his decision making is quite average and leads to often to errors, penalties and yellow cards. A bit like TPN was early in his career, he needs to...

call it a leadership group if it makes you feel better

Shouldn't we wait to see the bench before getting overly concerned? (again the argument is over 10 minutes of game time) I also expect all three hookers will get time over the next 3 weeks

I really like that backline
