yeah a pretty exciting debut for Tupou. a great 1st touch, a pilfer, and a try. His Scrummaging wasnt too bad considering he was up against Sio and Ala'alatoa who have been around this level for a couple of years already. Hes certainly got a lot of improvement in him which is great since he...

anyone know what ever happened to Rod Davies?

anyone know if we are gonna see Korzcyk, Timu, or Smith this year?

I'm looking forward to seeing Taefu actually get a good run

I didnt mean he is the next eales, or even that he played even close to eales' level. I just meant that the way he does things is like eales. Just the way he runs into contact. His body movements and mannerisms. Hes got a massive way to go to get eales' level when it comes to his game

you know its a weird as fuck match when Simmons is better in the collision then Skelton...

i thought Coleman looked very Eales-esque in his mannerisms - just the way he runs the ball and carries himself. he played pretty well as well

i dunno, other then the English RWC pool match (which i regard as the best performance from an australian flyhalf since larkham) i dont recall any good performances. i remember alot of ok performances where foley didnt really do much more then distribute and run, without really putting a foot...

thats a bit unfair, other then the English Test in 2013 he played very well against NZ in Dunedin, Italy, Ireland,Scotland, MoM against Wales. he only played in 6 or 7 test matches in 2013 and was brilliant in 5 of them, the other 2 he was quiet but certainly not playing poorly. i agree with...

I agree, but why would Cheika then pick a backline for this series that doesnt have a single playmaker in it? Man we missed beale this series

you're definitely right and it seems Cheika would give him more then a fair chance if Quade came back, its definitely all up to him to perform.

you're right they are different players, ones a playmaker who creates opportunities for his outside backs, and the others Bernard Foley. The difference between Noddy and Foley is that Noddy was one of our greatest ever kickers whereas foley isnt any better then cooper both from the tee and in...

no i take them off before bed, its awfully uncomfortable trying to sleep with them on. but i dont think its a big call at all. what have you seen that demonstrates that bernard foley is a better option then QC (Quade Cooper)? other then the English Pool game can you name any stand out performances from Foley?

you're not wrong and i know your feelings towards re-signing quade if he demands top dollar, and i agree it has been 2 or 3 years since we have seen that form for the wallabies, and even longer at the reds. but its also been a very long time since we have had a quade Cooper who has even been...

because he hasnt played even close to a full season considering injuries, player rotation at Toulon and his sevens stint, on top of that i doubt his body has gone through anything as strenuous as a full super rugby and test season. whilst its hardly a sabbatical, by the looks of social media its...

He would have undoubtably be the starting flyhalf for the frnch if he hadnt been injured

Sorry for wording that poorly, hopefully you get the gist of what i meant. I suppose both of us are arguing a point that is just a hypothetical at the moment since Quade isnt back so we dont know who the better option would be

Compared to foleys average test form over his entire career? I know theres a lot of ifs and buts about what im saying, but it was just in response to you saying that if we brought Quade back it would demonstrate how foley is our best option, which is also only a hypothetical that presumes quade...

I'm hoping this year off for Quade would have help his body recuperate afterca long string of injuries

I think coopers form last year was as good as foley when they were both still competing for the jersey, cheiks chose foley which is fine because as i said both were playing equally average. The difference is that cooper hasnt been able to string together consistent game time since 2013 where i...
