Yep that makes sense I guess - ref must have thought no ruck had formed after Hanngan was brought to ground If one was formed and the ball had then left it - Kriel was in open play and Coleman is entitled to tackle him from any direction

Coleman shouldn't have been penalised (for in at the side anyway) in that case - as no ruck had formed

That';s the question isn't it! The laws aren't much help there Coleman is penalised for coming "staright in from the side" so the ref thought ruck laws were in play, but was it the same ruck? With the changes to the laws which take effect in Jan 2018 there would be no doubt but we're not...

16:00 on the video, 74:30 game time Australia hot on attack (after a massive forward pass from Foley) Gold take the ball into contact, and a couple of players are in contact over the ball. The Wallabies blow past the breakdown letting space for Kriel to get over the ball. Is Kriel entitled to...

CFS signed up for a couple of years in late 2015. Lachlan Moranta on the other hand.....

Kane Douglas must be up there for the most disappointing player in Australia. So much promise, exactly the yltype of player we need, and we've seen so little of it over the years. Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

I suspect our SANZAAR partners would veto any attempt at increasing our Super Rugby allocation for next year, especially if the ARU wanted to do it simply because they got a better offer. The comp has to change, and the other guys think 4 teams is the right result Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Yeah i reckon about 11k and it is usually the small ones, Reds, Tahs and Brumbies announced all of theirs. Most of the force, and around half of the rebels came out Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

There were 39 Super Rugby home games in Australia in 2017. (edit 39 - missed the semi!) taking these numbers - 205/39 = 5250, which is way too low. Lots of games missing from that total Total attendance was something like 430k (ish - because 7 games weren't ever reported) That's not to say...

Is there enough time to establish 5 international teams? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Wallabies didn't make top 20 shows and Ten may have had the lowest ever primary commercial channel share last night. No shows in the top 20 at all. SBS had a higher share last night which is unheard of Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Super staurday ratings starting to come through. FTA is a bit delayed. Fox Port v west coast - 331k Swans v dons - 319k Storm v Eeles - 303k Manly v Panthers - 274k Wobs v SA - 134k NZ v Arg - 94k Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Sponsors like home games too! Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

The FFA have the "luxury" of having massively meaningful games with lots of consequence for each match. Contrast this with the always dismal ratings for Aus v Arg usually when neither team can win anything. I don't think there's any doubt that ratings would be better mid week, but could/would...

There's been a bit of media over the years as to what Super rugby players get paid https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/wallabies/wallabies-players-match-payments-cut-to-10000-for-next-two-years-under-new-cba/news-story/895b2ccbbe09b3eaf01eb44a9be4c44d?sv=fe050afb4c2c4e108759265ab0f4506a "The...

Crawford report findings

Always a good result when politics and sport mix ;)

So who among the current directors isn't independent? Ironically the most questionable was probably Geoff stooke. The board accepted most of the recommendations of the Arbib review http://www.aru.com.au/ARUAdmin/GovernanceReview.aspx Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

I'd have a lot more confidence in the whole process if she stopped referring to this "national competition" in her statements :confused: Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk
