Really? Not much ref bashing here I think.

With 5 minutes to go I was thinking - Braveheart has this.

What is it with the Red line out?

OK Blue 12 (?) pinged for coming through the ruck. Why? I'll take the try but half backs have become excessively protected.

Red Line out is actually comical.

Also his back line organisation

Waratahs are all over this right now.

McDermott the Reds best at the moment. What is the pack up to?

Always knew Marky-Mark had toe, who guessed about Maddocks?

Campbell is out of place on the wing, is Heggarty's experience enough to do that? JOC (James O'Connor) good. Stewart good. Welcome back Daugunu. Red pack should be dominating, not even close enough to where they should be.

Harris looks an interesting proposition but has a long way to go. Like him getting fired up at Tupou. Not short of balls. Harrison also doing well. Who the hell are Walton and Ramm? Feel sorry for Bell. YC was silly.

Let's hope so. Reds should have shown more dominance on the score board. Loosing 6 against a team down a man is poor.

I had thought Fiji was pretty much clear of. Covid 19. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=fiji+coronavirus&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-au&client=safari

Well, we will see, wont we? BTW not anti NZ, just pro Aus.

Slim, a TT will be dictated by NZ and they will not start with a preference for 5 Aus franchises. Play just one season with five Aus teams and performance level will pretty much guarantee what follows. There is a chance it might start that way but will not last long. Destiny of a TT is 3 Aus...

Completely agree. At least he is on the field.

I'm not ignoring them at all. I'm simply recognising the commercial value that broadcasters have placed on it - ie very little. Your premise that Super provides a foundation for rugby to grow in Australia has proven incorrect. Drastically - to the point that our franchises are being cut and...

Interesting. But ultimately it is just part of the same package where the Aus Super teams cost money which is paid for from Wallaby earnings. As the number of teams reduce so does that income, which is at any rate negative. There is nothing in that plan that offers a potential change. More...

BH, how do you come to this conclusion? We've been told for ages "not enough local content"; "not enough good broadcast time slots". We've been a lot of things to broadcasters but attractive doesn't feature. Sophistry. It had a group of games in Africa that basically no-one watched and even...

A TT might be a viable competition. It is not, however, a viable base for pro rugby in Australia. Most of the differences in opinion have been well threshed by now. None of it reduces my despondency with RA leadership and the future of pro rugby here. Time will tell - though so far pretty much...
