Edit: Of course today is friday. Never mind.

I reckon he is the one the rest of the selection panel look up to, not the other way round.

Some of you guys are so old I wonder if your grand kids are posting for you :whistle:

I also get your point, which is very good, but at the end of the first half Poms were under warning and hand goes up for an advantage, surely that is where you: A) let the attacking team have a quick go at it, 2-3 phases, then whistle the penalty and bin the infringer or B) blow the penalty...

Pardon me if this is slightly off topic, but I reckon there are people here who occasionally grabs the whistle and goes and spoils an otherwise perfectly good game. Now the question itself, have you ever been in the situation where Joubert was on the weekend as he had warned the pommies about...

Whats up with people dropping Carter? He hit half a century of rucks and handled the lineout well, Aussie dont have Brodie Retallick who does everything so need to stick with one lineout/workhorse lock and find an enforcer from somewhere, hopefully Douglas picks up where he left once back. And...

Good boot too on him, but he has never really been in favour has he?

I reckon Savea has just enough loyaltypoints to warrant a start in the second test, just. If they drop him I reckon its Dagg or Barret who comes in @15, the wonder kid was just too error prone in soup to be considered starting a test. Whitelock will slot back in once he is fit, A Savea might...

Morne Steyn called up to the squad. Reckon it is better for Garth April to stay with the A side, but is there honestly no one else than Morne? Jean Luc Du Plessis is a good prospect but the matches I saw him play he was too error prone to play test rugby and seems that April is before him in...

I think the two most likely scenarios are that either Palu or Mcalman comes into 8 and Horwill in for Simmons if he is out. Wouldnt be surprised if Carter came in for Simmons as he is basically the same player just doesnt give lineout penalties but instead has tits for hands. A left field...

I just cant understand that decision, how does it differ from the choke tackle? The defending team try to trap the ball and then bring it down to win scrum feed. This all of course barring that Fardy joined legally. The other decision which was also discussed in the match thread, was the...

Obviously they didnt accept the gift. Shitty performance from the bokke and very very gutsy from Ireland when JPP almost got over in the corner after the hooter, there were still four(4) guys tackling him! They put in an outstanding effort.

Well I do not know the rule exactly, but the first support player, who clears the the tackler, binds on him over the tackled player, doesnt he? Thats a ruck there, and all opposition have to retreat behind the offside line. Once the cleanout is done and the second supporting player is a tad...

3. Hooper 2. Foley 1. DHP

I might have to have another look at it, but if I remember it right it went about like this: Aus player gets tackled, first aus supporting player clears the tackler, setting the offside line, Haskell never retreated and picked the ball from an offside position. Clearly the second supporting Aus...

And Poite standing right next to it. Yellow card for a professional foul for mine.

What was that scrum penalty for?

Cant really blame the coach for picking Duane&Louw, they are excellent rugby players. Kriel is alot like Liam Gill, just unfortunate to be behind so good players. What do you reckon, Mapoe been in excellent form but I still think the incumbent Jesse Kriel might also feel hard done. Other than...

Straya win a scrum penalty first up, 4 minutes gone Magnay gets a yellow card for for reckless tackle, he tip tackled a player which to me seemed to land on his hip, but thems the breaks nowadays

Was he ever fit?
