Keep your eye on that ruck ref.

Lolesio has been unleashed. He was protected last week, this time he is in the game.

They also come through over the ball from a position that is not through the gate. But it happens quick and they get away with it.

We should stick pace where it has been. But 5 mins of better ball security. The dazzle dazzle has been great, but back to settle for a period.

French tacklers do not release before digging for the ball. We should do the same.

OK. Risky but I'm liking the enterprise.

Lolo much more involved this game. Like the offload in tackle.

How many phases was that to go back?

Not the start we were after.

A little Red-centric there Adam, haha!. Let me double down. If not Vunivalu, then Daugunu. :)

Reckon tonight is the night. Bit of consistency, cobwebs blown away from those returning from injury. Not convinced that the French rotation will reduce their impact much, but the EDIT God help me I've been "Danned! ABs WBs have had some time and experience to understand better what the French...

NZ score here? Fail. RA score here? Patience worn thin. Adam, I see it as a bitter pill for NZR who must feel ripped off by Aus fail to be competitive. But looking forward rather than in the rear vision mirror you are 100% correct. No doubt NZR are in a position right now to reap the harvest...

Fiji loss for sure. Absolute Red win that one.

Sure. And ofc the playing list does require active management. Just it’s a ballsy call.

No, I want a strategy that targets 3 wins. But we should start with winning the first two. That I'm completely happy with. I do think you are correct about not currently picking our best side but your example isn't really it. As you say JOC (James O'Connor) has been injured and would apparently be returning...

What we are talking about right now is 160 mins (2x80) in 6 days, near as damn it a week and very normal. Then a short turn around. We have #1, now take #2. Then look at the rest of the squad for #3.

Jezus. Remove ASY (Angus Scott-Young)? That is a call and a half.

I agree with you BR, but have you seen the recent article by Nick Bishop at the Roar? His analysis suggests otherwise. Though he did think Tate was better than Gordon on most criteria in the test. I think Gordon is a sensational 9 - his lead at the Tahs has been sensational. I'm not convinced...

Agree with this but feel for Tate. Coming off the bench, doing the job well and out-playing the starter - but gated behind the "finisher" tag. I do expect Gordon to have knocked off the cobwebs all the same, ditto To'omua.

Yes it does. I'd be surprised if it is specifically what they meant though.
