Not sure Bell was pumped but he didn't look 100% to me. I thought AAA would be better for the run in England and he was around the ground but his scrummaging wasn't. Deserves his spot but I thought Nongorr looked a better scrummager when he came on.

My gut tells me Scotland will be a loss and Ireland - well I'm feeling confident. How's that for detailed analysis?

Agreed

Valetini has put in two top games for the Wallabies on this tour.

1. Then he gets stepped easily 2. if he goes lower, it's easy to palm him off as he drops.

We will know soon enough. I note Schimdt has protested the decision, which is not something he does often. But I suppose you know more about this than he or I do. If your a ref you may be one of those overly pedantic ones.

I think your logic is skewed either by being overly worried about injury or because you never played the game. I just watched the incident again several times. Morgan was accelerating and dropping whilst trying to step Kerevi in a fraction of a second (not 1 sec as I suggested) and you claim...

Why, in any case the defence is allowed access to information relevant to the case..

I thought he played well, took some clean lineout ball, tackled strongly, make meters in contact and won a TO penalty at the breakdown. He'll be there next week if Wilson is still on HIA.

So if we follow your twisted logic all nations must stop the rush defence to ensure there are no injuries. Your analysis is strange - ie entering the tackle at speed - never heard of cutting down space?. Kerevi's height was OK apart from the carrier dipping at the last second. NOthing to take...

I suspect the Welsh will put pressure on Wright with plenty of high kicks and chase hard to close him down. Kerevi will open up opportunities and needs to offload in the middle, apart from McReight who will be there to take advantage of it? Frost and Skelton slow out of the row/breakdown and...

There is always competition for the long throw, if it hits the ground it is anyone's. This is the main reason why it is used only when your lineout is getting done or surprise option similar to short throw.

Pity as Pietch was looking good.

I liked him and thought there was a decent future for him. Maybe AAA will take us to Lions and Nongorr's chance may come before RWC depending on how AAA and TT are travelling.

Can never remember, but if so it is cover for TT. Checked and he is a THP.

Why no Nongorr?

What period was that over? do you know? Just interested in how much we have lost. He may not have improved at the same level of professionalism over the last 4 years in RU he could have followed Mark and Carter to league.

I imagine if Hamish was in the seat we would not be hearing the end of what a genius he is etc etc. All he did was spend a bucket load of money on a guy we were too stupid to pick up at the time.

Hasn't had a lot of rugby since August BUT...

Anyone heard how Uru is going? Not much talk about him but could be very useful in this game.
