Mate he’s scored 10 tries in 16 starts - they’re also not starting van poortvliet who has been one of their best (Ben youngs on the bench). It’s obviously a tactical decision

I enjoy the ex-players who have now decided that if you’re stopping someone scoring a try anything goes. ‘Yes I know he pulled out a samurai sword and beheaded the ball carrier, but he was 5m out what’s he supposed to do?!?!’

I think regarding high tackles it’s important to understand where WR (World Rugby) are coming from: whilst we may think current interpretation is “ruining the game”, it is nothing compared to what a lawsuit by 100s of players with early onset dementia will do the game. WR (World Rugby) need to try and reduce big head...

getting a bit pissed off at how stupid we are atm

a terrible card is still a card sadly, and will be time and time again unless we adapt

We are the slowest team to adapt to referees, laws, changes in interpretation etc in the world

World rugby is clear in how they referee the high tackle - super rugby au was far more lenient than the rest of the world is and it will hurt us if we don’t change. Nothing can be high anymore - it’s just too risky

I get that we'll miss Kerevi getting over the gain line - but we are looking at having Tupou, Skelton, Valetini, Bell, Arnold in the pack. Let's adjust our gameplan accordingly and don't see why we can't do v well on this tour

Not really a new thing, but our blokes don't seem to have the same upper body strength a lot of test match teams do now (boks and argies spring to mind). Seems to be even important in defence these days

Fellas let’s have some perspective - this game will be remembered for one reason and that is the anthem. Most people will only see that on the news etc, regroup and rebuild for 2021, lots of room to grow

Is 3 draws a record?

Tupou is our only player with world class physicality

We played pretty well with 14 a few weeks ago...

If we have a domestic comp where we don’t penalise this stuff as much, we go to international rugby and will not learn + get reds. Need to take it seriously

Red

May be sacrilege, but is Wilson’s ball carrying good enough to be 8

Need tupou to get 40

Games are being won by defence right now, need to wise up

I will be giving full credit to the wallabies for providing the pumas with such rigorous preparation for today, it's really their 3rd match not their 1st! ;)

I always felt during the Cheika years that we were the unluckiest team in the world, always losing to interceptions or charged down kicks etc. Then I realised teams knew we were going to make a load of mistakes during the match so waited for them + voila, we would give away 'lucky' tries.
