Yet we never adjusted. We released them immediately and they got fastball. Stupid stuff, play to the ref, he was an outlier in the ref world but we should have been smarter than that. Bet we never looked at any of his games, the Irish did from the approach they took.

Prenderghast at 21 was very good for a player who was too young and too inexperienced to be allowed to play international rugby. ????????

Keep your hat on, the defensive system was exactly the same, the difference was the determination the guys showed. The breakdown work was Eddie 101 -mostly put in 1 occasionally 2 to clean out/secure and the rest watch from the D. As you stated the backrow was very good, hard to choose between V...

I'm hating this, I agree with you more and more!!!!!!!

What are the prognostications for the score? I'm goiing mad! 25- 19 to AUS

Also how we number teams. Seems too simple to not be fixed.

I wonder if all this is real or some of it was concocted or once suggested it becomes real. I remember the RSI issues and the reports. Before you all leap to the keyboard. While various possible causes of the 1980s Australian RSI epidemic have been considered and evaluated2,13,18 no study...

Shit, I knew that but as he plays 7 auto took over.

Very, I can't wait as it will be one of the big challenges in this game. Think we will make it far more of a contest than the Scotland game. Can't wait. Dutoit is the best openside in the world by a fair way.

In which case we are most probably in the last decade of Union. Getting rid of lower force higher frequency events will mean no parent will allow a child to play this game. In my time there were many of those incidents in every game (including the occasion brawl) but it is not showing up from my...

Very true, when you have guys my size playing in the backs that is a lot of momentum. I watch with a mate of mine who played League and Subbie Union and sometimes we wince at some of the hits.

I have not seen Valetini playing better than he is this year, he's always been a strong performer but since moving to 6 he must be one of the best in the world.

It must be getting much worse. I recently caught up with nearly all of the guys I first played with 50+ years ago and there are structural issues but nothing as bad as you are suggesting. A couple are 80 but there are only a few of the older guys I played with who have died. I got accidentally...

An even better example, one of the best forwards I have seen prior to his injury run.

What is?

Interesting, the forwards part of your post I understand but the running around v England was there something apart from forwards going well? It seemed that the guys had few answers to Scotland's rush D and had little time to run around them. Question, did England give us too much time and we...

Rugby is a tough game and there are always guys whose bodies can't take those impacts. I hope Wright will recover to play again but been wondering about this for a while.

Is that the only tactic against a rush D?

Agree, I suspect Schmidt has come to the decision many of us made re Lol/Don that there is not a lot to gain from one over the other, slightly different skill sets but about the same impact.

I agree with Charlie Cale and hope he does come in as he offers so much. We seem to be OK for hookers but it only takes one or two injuries. In the front row, the new Wallabies are not showing as much as I hoped. I thought Nongorr would be better.
