Maranta looks like he's been enjoying some off season burgers. Can anyone anywhere explain why he has a Super rugby contract?

Lukhan Tui looking really strong. Kane Douglas, Ready and Gunn also playing well. Kerevi very dangerous with ball in hand as always.

Not worthy of a yellow card IMO. Reeks of the ref going "fuck I should've taken the bite more seriously and now I've got to make up for it".

Allegations of biting in the scrum a sour mark on Fijis first game.

12-12 after 21 minutes. Is it bad that I'm excited that Fijis inclusion in the NRC might lead to a few (more) handy Fijian backs floating around the Aus Super franchises?

Quade what was that?!

Jesus Christ - I hope the Melbourne Rising manage to put together a good outfit otherwise the Western Force Perth Spirit will put 80 on them. The Pigs will certainly be looking to send a message with a strong performance here.

This sounds ridiculous considering he's a Wallaby (who, until very recently, was captain) but I think theres less risk if Moore starts. I wouldn't want him coming on for the last 20-30 minutes of a test as he can be a bit of a liability, and until Latu / Ready return to prominence, we're at a...

Fuck Clyne. Any other word on the appeal?

I am stupendously excited for this competition - if only the Sydney clubs and teams could sort their shit out. Have you seen the Brisbane city squad?! Talakai, Ready, Vanzati Douglas, Tui Korczyk, ? , Gunn Frisby, Cooper Kerevi, Taefu Kuridrani, Hunt, Laloifi That's essentially a Reds...

Interesting to see Henry Clunies-Ross is back from France to play for the Country Eagles in this years NRC. Not suggesting we should pick him up, but I wonder why he returned?

Ugh. So many people have been slamming Cheika for the press conference despite clearly not having actually watched the footage. If you get your opinion of Cheika from headlines it's obviously going to be a bad one.

I had an absolute ball (despite the post-game come down), and I had a massive grin on my face when all I read on Reddit in the aftermath of the game was Europeans and Kiwi's saying things like: "The Wallabies are back! What a performance" "Best test match since 2003" etc. You should've...

I like the changes, but I think that you should have two minutes (or whatever is normal as per test matches) to kick conversions, and only 45 seconds for penalties. Why? Our goal kickers from the NRC will be kicking conversions in Super Rugby / test matches under these conditions, and we...

My problem with this is that everyone "calls it as it is" to the extent that they call it as they see it from where they're standing. Hooper was acting as the shooter and in that role its inherently harder to make all of your tackles. It's quite easy for the ball-runner to evade the tackle by...

Our front row angle caused the ball to spill out? Sio and Ala'alatoa made Smith knock it on? Well fuck me I've seen everything.

Since when is whether or not something is deliberate considered in foul play? Kwagga Smith wasn't deliberate. Foul play is foul play.

Too many Tahs :P

Really interesting (and refreshing) perspective on Cheika / the Wallabies by 1014 Rugby: Also some good stuff on the Boks / Pumas as well.

Bernard Foley vs. England in the 2015 RWC doesn't come to mind? One of the most dominant individual performances I've seen at the international level
