Forcefan - thanks for your work once again. You do an amazing job each match. After our discussions last match I thought I would have a quick look at including tackle and carry tats in addition to your ruck stats. And a fairly surprising picture emerged. Please let me know if you aren't happy...

An average of 15 people out of the 3500 with an oztam box watched the game live at 1:30am (because the data was for Saturday night - anyone who recorded it would have been captured in Sunday's numbers - which we don't have). This is converted by the company to a rating of 77k.

Nah - don't think it was too bad. 46k in 2014 was reported. I wouldn't take too much notice of any of these late night ratings mst. They usually don't get reported, especially the pay TV and the way recordings are captured has changed over the years. The time the game is on can also affect...

Do we know what Genia's release conditions are for the two non-window tests yet? If he's not playing those, I'd have him on the bench for this one, and get some game time in to Phipps I'd rest Izzy for the next two games - he comes back v Wales and we see if DHP is up to playing 15 at...

jeeze Wambers - I don't think you'd find too many profesional level coaches (or captains!) Who would agree with that. These days, with runners on the field, their vastly better view of the game, control of substitutions and the salaries they demmand - the Buck stops with the coach, even during...

Saw Koroibete live at the GF today. He is electric. Has pace, not afraid of contact. Will get his fair share of yellow cards/suspensions by the look of things but really excited by his potential in our game

There I was thinking that 77k was a pretty good result!

77k diehards tuned in on Ten this morning.

He's just played 12 out of his last 15 games at 15 though and over 40 there for the Wallabies - I find it pretty hard to believe that he needs to "adjust" back to the position at this stage of the season. He's also played nearly 2000 minutes this year though, and didn't have a decent...

Tackle count DHP only multiple missed tackles for the Aussies - 2

I'm one who reckons we need to better manage the workload of our players. I don't think we can expect our Wallabies to play as much as we expect them to, year in year out, without some games off. That will come from resting/dropping players, or it will come from injury, it's really the coaches...

For what it's worth, the Arbib governance review recommended that in Australian rugby the CEO should be an executive director and sit on the board

He's won 13 lineouts in the last two years of super rugby. The Rebels sure don't think he can

lineout

In a related note - is this the toughest 10 week strech in the history of the Wallabies? SA, Arg, NZ, Wales, Scotland, France, Ireland, England all away, flying around the world twice?

You could, but all of the players haven't played just about every minute of every game. All I am saying is that Hooper is on track to have played an unprecedented amount of Rugby at the highest level, after playing an unprecedented amount of Rugby over the last few years. He's avoided injury...

Poor old Dell looks in pretty bad company there.....

So true - until one day it won't be :(
