Why does phipps keep kicking ball away - its not like we are winning the lineouts

Tats need to hold onto the ball - both teams look dangerous when they are i possession. Need more of it

Right where N should have been - well played Canes

It was number 12 that tried to take Hooper's head off early too wasn't it?

very odd reffing performance - going out of his way to find fault with the tahs but not consistently pedantic

An advantage does not occur because of the elapse of time (or number of phases). If an advantage has not arisen the referee blows the whistle and brings play back to the place of infringement. As per the laws, the advantage must be clear and real. A mere opportunity to gain advantage (whether...

Would be grateful for any updates if anyone is watching. Thanks

Standing out on the wing. I've been very impressed with Holloway this year - arguably the best young number eight prospect in a long time. But if he wants to lock down the eight jersey at test level he needs to do more of the tough stuff or settle for being the next Higgers. As outstanding...

20-6 to the Tahs

Thans Hawko - exactly that. Been waiting a long time for a Tah's fix and was getting a bit edgy when I couldn't find the stream.....

Does anyone know what time this match kicks off?

Somewhat off topic, but for want of a better place to post this - does anyone know where to get hold of a copy of the ARU Constitution adopted following their governance review in 2012?

His world cup form was a revelation for anyone who'd been to a Leinster game last year.

The ABs beat us because they won the set piece and the gain line. The Wallabies kept it interesting through brilliant scrambling defence and breakdown work. This will keep us in any game, but is not a blueprint for consistently beating the best teams. If we want to beat the ABs consistently...

I thought it was Mitchell - certainly whoever chased and caught the kick and gave the final pass was well offside. It is why selectively focussing on individual incidents is a waste of time. Furthermore, I have no issue with humans making errors of fact. Judging by the range of...

Muh as I hate to feed the angry masses - the better team won no doubt - but check out Charlie F's ruck entry at the immediately preceding ruck

Unfortunately there is all too many examples of similar tackles being deemed red card offences. Latu's four week suspension and Skelton's two week suspension for the tackle on Sam Whitelock spring immediately to mind. Skelton's offence was deemed worthy of a red card and he didn't even do the...

That didn't happen - it would have been an automatic red if he had. It was a yellow card offence every day of the week and has been since the IRB clarification five years or so ago. The International Rugby Board has issued a statement of clarification regarding the Tip or Spear tackle. Law...

Well said Dan and I agree

From an article quoting Hansen. Not everyone is classy in victory. This is - and Carter and McCaw's post match interviews were as well. Whatever else we all might be thinking right now - the wallabies lost to a very good rugby side, perhaps one of the greats, and one which contains some...
