More than the coaches, what we could use are the rugby analysts - generally the more tech guys advising the coach. Those blokes would be good in commentary.

First a coaching team needs a good understanding as to who the A team is. Then the coaching team needs to understand what game and strategy best suits that group. Then this must be inculcated through the wider playing group. Followed by a detailed knowledge of what the alternative players bring...

We are Aussies Baba, so reverse it. Ask the Argies if they replicated their performance against us would they win? It is not time to experiment with a B team. It IS time to have every confidence in the strongest team we can put forward for this game. based on us. Not changes around Argie...

So I can’t help a small single digit at NZ. Fossie talking about WBs winding up NZ and that this is, apparently, a common tactic against ABs. BS. Just BS. It is completely a programmed approach by NZ to their opposition. But the opposition is responding. Fancy that.

The NO is to the former “Super” comp. Domestic followed by a new style Super is great. No reason we can’t find room for Japan there or they for us.

Awesome work by Pumas leaving ABs flat-footed. And stuff WBs fans getting antsy about people congratulating Cheika. CONGRATS CHEIKA. Congrats Argentina, take a bow Ledesma! Rennie might want to rethink using the next game as a gimme and going less than full strength.

Yep, and Stewart one of the best defensive 12’s going round. Pretty arrogant to be talking of displacing Petaia at this stage. I’m not liking it. let’s see him in the 15 man game before he starts taking preferences. out of interest, When IF came across he was thinking wing but Lotte spoke to...

If Cheika had been removed earlier would we have Rennie? If not would who-ever have been a better prospect than we have now? I’m done with the Cheika era - been there, done that, don’t want to go back. I’ll be concentrating on the Rennie era from this point.

Completely agree here

We really are better to base ourselves in reality which starts with an obvious quality gap between NZ and Aus. Ultimately it is an issue that will need to be addressed for the comp to be successful. It will surely be top two teams in the final, not top team from each “conference”. As long as...

it might prove tough for them to justify, but if Virgin are setting up base in Brisbane and the Reds possibly likely to be one of the more successful pro teams in Brisbane - well there is obvious synergy. Chasing sponsors will be tough in the current environment.

Hell yes, it will be beneficial to Aus rugby if the Waratahs are good. I wish the club all the best.

As someone not watching closely there are a serious quantity of names that don’t mean anything. There are some strengths and plenty of “should prove great” but the unknowns are baffling. Tahs may do well with this from the get go, but I have to say it’s unlikely. Given 9 has chosen to...

Though literal English suggests this is the announcement. I don’t have a big problem, but we will quickly return to the old issue of level playing field and AB selection. As long as it runs two independent domestic comps to start with it’s fine. Replace these with one integrated TT and we are...

A wing being caught out in D can easily be due to actions of others. Often pretty much last man standing. Winger tackle stats really do need to be analysed to fella picture. Does “5 different stats” achieve this? Maybe but not certainly.

Need to also consider the quality of the volume. 3:00am games in Africa don’t contribute the same as domestic derbies which remain maxed in 2021 as they were in 2020.

True? The QPR has been fabulous on stream though some improvement with a little professionalism in the broadcast would be great. Look forward to the telecast in 2021.

Very very pleased. Poor old Foxtel, don’t let the door etc

Yes, great to see you back Dave.
