Yeah, stinking hot in Newcastle. 39 ATM and predicted 31 by game time

Ok then, you don't like him. I get it. Do yourself a favour and watch the last minute of the first half when Kafer lauds the decision to go for the lineout which would have resulted in a try if the Banks pass wasn't forward. As it was the kicked 3 kicks at goals in the 1st half

Exactly

That would have been my strategy too, but I once was captain for a coach who always wanted to keep the pressure on to get max points. He was an ex Wallaby from Randwick who believed in running rugby so we werent allowed to kick. I didnt agree with it, but as vaptain my jod was to carry out his...

Isn't he off for a bit next year? If not, we could do worse, but I don't think Hoppers term is up yet

The captain is usually making decisions under the coaches orders having discussed game plans and strategies before and during the game (You don't think trainers are just running on to supply water do you?) If they go against coaches orders they generally don't stay captain for long

What about Hamish Stewart? Seriously though, Hooper may not be the best in world rugby, but who in Oz rugby would be better. From the Super Rugby rugby sides that are represented , Wright will be flat at making the 23 when Swinton comes back, AAAAA will be a 40 minute player, To'omua is injured and...

Shows how stats can vary. Just watched the 60 minute replay and I must of missed the bit where Sio made 27 m. Phillip was immense but 54m? Hanigan 34m also seems excessive. Thor had a longish run near the tryline, but he was going sideways. The ESPN seem more accurate

3 Phillip 2 Simmons 1 Paisami

Back row stocks are high, props not so much so I wouldn't be repurposing

Yep. The Wallabies went to shit when Ledesma moved on

They had pretty good success together at the 2015 RWC

You might be right, but we had a win against the ABs last game too, so confidence and momentum won't be the issue. It'll be interesting to see how much the Pumas have in the tank physically and emotionally after such a good and hard fought win against the Wobs who will be fresh. Totally agree...

Great result for the tournament. Every game will be a must win now

If I was him I'd be flicking my CV to the NZRU:)

True. But Wright is not a Waratah which I think is BRs real gripe

He had an ordinary first half, poor ball security and speculative passes that were turned over. He showed more in the 2nd half with his ability to elude tackles, but aside from the try where he took.the tackle and we retained possession, he forced his hand too much. He's only young, and once he...

The Waratahs:)

No. It was a hideous mistake. Turned on the TV when I got up on a rainy day, the replay was just starting and just left it on. Would have been better off watching Live Island reruns. It was just as hard going the second time around, but at least I was prepared for the result

Fair call. I went through ESPN. Had the same stats for Tupou. I can't recall Sio making any though (and being the masochist I am) I did watch the replay, and surely when Barret ran through him for his try that was a miss, unless it didn't count as a miss because he got run past and didn't lay a...
