JOC (James O'Connor) as WB 10 for me. Whichever youngster wins the battle they go to 22 and get game time.

I'm not sure Jock won that battle, and more the point I think Hodge is really shaping up at 15. Hegarty, JOC (James O'Connor) and Stewart also had a lot to do with the Reds kicking game.

The line out went much better last night, though once the throw improved we did find other issues. Let's just keep the improvement moving.

Fiji might have the population but in no way has the economics from within themselves to fund an internationally traveling Super team. The funds have to come from outside. Australia can't prop up that situation when we are struggling to survive ourselves so it needs world rugby or Private...

Not a bad call! I've just caught up with the game (family commitments interrupting things grrr). So firstly, where are the twerps who were calling for Thorn's head just a week ago? Simply awesome defensive effort by Reds in the second half. Rebels threw everything including the kitchen...

Dan, there are posters here of quality, knowledge and understanding. WCR has many years of demonstrating solid information, especially where media sources were slow or non existent, on things like Rugby News from unexpected places. An accurate summary I believe.

Now that,surely, is an exciting EOI to the NZR proposal. just what they were looking for. :oops:

My hyperbole? OK sure. Well done waratahs.

Yep. But I'm letting it go now. Well done both teams good game. Congrats WARATAHS.

Not a technicality! It is rugby 101.

He ran forward when off side. About 10m ffs.

What, 9 advancing for basically 10m before being put onside? Waratahs have got this. You can afford to let the Force have some.

It isnt lame. It's a set move with every opportunity to consider the laws. It failed. Set piece issue or implementation it failed. Make the set move more clever next time.

Force nned to think through repeated scrums. They are well behind and need points, not burning time.

Look I'm barracking for Force here but that scrum Longbottom changed his grip.

Reg suggested this was show what he can do coming off the bench which is his likely slot if he makes the WB squad. You are right though, it probably slots him next to Slipper as an example of votes not necessarily matching selection criteria.

Fabulous and some real work to do for some. Interesting points at this stage: x Hooper not the signed and sealed package some believe - yet x No AAA. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Orr impressing. x LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) taking a lock, even with the Red line out debacle, Hanigan being taken seriously x Highly favoured by many but...

It needs two parties to tango. If NZR want 10 teams (5 Aus) they will have it. Timing would be dictated by COVID so very dubious can happen in 2021 though Super 8 has a better chance. Though GRob plays nicely into the NZ narrative so it's a nice piece of positioning for a journo. I suspect...

The problem just goes around again, Braveheart. The design of the competition as it stood required net input of funding from RA and that isn't addressed. All that is achieved is to kick the can down the road to be discussed again shortly. Also the Clyne presentation actually showed that based on...
