Brian Smith's article on the front page has a terrific front on camera shot (in the first gif) of Australia's defensive set-up from the lineout at 5:30 game time. Shows the numbers on your back don't mean what they used to in modern rugby. Hooker:- Foley Sio lifting Arnold at the front...

Yep. competing with Gloucester there. At this stage in his career, Laurie's only coming back for the top job, and surely not for an assistant's wage.

Thought the Argentine decision was the much more interesting one. He actually was reckless with his tackle, rather than just dumb like Daly getting himself under the jumper. Yet because the catcher happened to fall differently, the penalty was much worse

75th minute game time above. Yep he's gone for a long time! Will be interesting to see how they handle the suspension given his off season started yesterday. Do trial matches count?

5th minute game time - England RC 17:30 minute game time - Arg penalised Refs had the cards out plenty this weekend. Interesting one in the Eng v Arg match, with one "tackle" getting a red card, and the other just a penalty. Outcome based descisions

That'd be ideal dru, but he has a long way to go to get the proverbial "10,000 hours" required. You can even see it in Rory Arnold's relative lack of lineout ability - he came to the game later and hasn't had the practice that Simmons/Mumm/Douglas/Coleman/Carter/Jones etc have had their entire...

Where do you get your stats from TOCC?

Ford and Gray had their bans overturned. http://m.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/34527131

Don't think Hooper is playing the traditional 8-man role at all - he's one of the flanks of the 1-3-3-1 pods that the Wallabies use, he's not there to get over the advantage line. The guys in the pods are there for that. When Timani plays, he's used in the pods, when he's not Mumm goes in...

Bordeaux's home ground AFAIK

Timani paying the price for Arnold's recent sloppy work at 2?

For anyone else wanting to do some guesstimating. Ten paid Foxtel $2.5m per year for Wallaby test matches in 2012. Guessing that's for 3 June tours, 3 Bled matches, one SA test match and one Arg test match - though the Lions tour was in there too. The other OS test matches don't rate enough to...

Imagine how many milliseconds Cheika thought about who would be captain for this game.

Melbourne Storm, Reds and now Tahs

Mack's already signed his third different pro team contract since leaving school - he's obviously not going to be left wondering with any side. Good luck to him.

By the way who would number 3 ten be? Duncan P?

Yep. He signed for the 16 and 17 seasons on a two year deal. Sam Greene signed a one year deal at the same time

Yep. Was on in the middle of the night here so rating only captured up to 2am
