I'm pretty sure a 22m restart is the correct call. (Mind you the rules change so often I'm not putting money on it)

It's a good redemption story. Probably the bad opinion comes from his mediocre play after the hype when he played for the Waratahs. He's come back from OS a much better player, particularly in defence. He's taken hos chance tonight. Good on him

The report in the SMH said they drank "Well after curfew" I think he did what he had to do. They lost the right to wear Gold IMHO.

My bad. It was Oz schoolboys v NZ 2017 where Harrison started 10 and Donalson 15. Harrison was also captain. I wish I had a junior career like that

I don't really take junior stars as a precursor for a professional career. Besides, they both played AusSchoolboys and started for the u20s team that finished 2nd in the JWC, so they do have some junior credentials. Their club rugby I can't comment much on as I only get the chance to see the odd...

Isn't Hanigan back next year?

Wasn't this supposed to be a B team? WBs have been in camps during the year and are playing at home, so I'm impressed with the French and a bit underwhelmed by us so far

Seems to be working out just fine for Pone and Bell. Who's the new recruit?

I hope he goes ok. Had success at shute shield but at NRC was pretty meh. Super Rugby, like as a player is a big step up, but time will tell Agree the playing stock is a bigger priority than the coach

Donalson is a good 15. He and Harrison alternated 10/15 for Oz 20s. Don't know if Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) has any 15 experience at 15 but doesn't really inspire me I'm that position. I see him as an out and out finisher

Yes, it is a big loss. I guess not being in a bloated Wallaby squad showed he's not wanted and chasing a more lucrative contract and experience

It was an idiot action, for the umpteenth time. He's got to go for the max

Agree about Robbo who can play both sides. With only 5 props Pone is a head scatcher. Did he even play any TT games?

Wow. Simone is on my fantasy team and never picks up points. AAAAA over Tupou...nah

HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) won the tackle count with 17, even though he had the HIA. 2 pilfers too. Swinton got through a lot in defence as well. I actually think the bulk of the players did well but were outclassed. I liked how they kept coming though

There's been talk before that Chieka has been approached and was waiting in the wings. It wouldn't surprise me. He's not a great technical coach but a good motivator and has experience at this level

No

Yes. I had to take him in my fantasy league because of byes. He scored 2.6. To put that into perspective, Beaudan Barret was also in my team and scored 82.6, both as outside backs. Why on earth would you have a winger as a captain anyway?

I can't see anything but a Reds win, unless the players get too confident

No, watched the same game. Marky Marks fear of contact had nothing to do with the "noodle" forwards. Why change him to fullback? It was a pretty shit effort all round, and that includesTizzano and Swinton so not sure what channel you had on. Of course, Penney has nothing to do with any of it
