Looking at a highlight reel to assess Vunivalu is precisely the issue. The highlights appear to be all he does. Invisible for 95% of the game and pops up for one spectacular try and then disappears again.

This one to me is staggering. He has a history of playing the "they can't run without a head" game and somehow this is not worthy of a sanction. With his history it should have been a minimum of 6 games but his record and his history do not equate as he has been continually let off. It should be...

Yes but as others have stated it is the impact on the young players that is the issue. They won't ban the game but they very likely will ban contact before 16 years old. This will stop some kids playing the game. No one is starting UFC at 12.

I think it is inevitable and right that the contact rules change. They have to the risk of permanent damage is too great. I completely support any changes that help minimise head injuries. However, it will have a detrimental effect on kids coming up playing sport. Rugby is unique in that it has...

England - first and foremost, followed by New Zealand after that I don't really care.

They are Rugby League fans they barely remember their own fathers.

Great pick up for the Force.

Wilkins is the one that I would have liked to see given a shot. Good size 7 is a very solid pilferer and just seems to do most things pretty well. Sure he gives away a few penalties but show me a decent pilferer who doesn't and I will show you a unicorn.

I don't agree with that at all. Tighthead is about being stable and pure power a lot of the time. A tighthead needs to be able to handle the front row bastardry that is the standard of all looseheads. I was primarily a Loosehead when I played and my role was to give the opposition Tighty a touch...

It is a lot more difficult to look good in a side that is losing constantly than one winning.

I think we are at single digits because we have a fairly easy group. Wales are not exactly setting the world alight at the moment so the idea that Australia should be able to top the group and give themselves a QF against probably either Argentina or Japan. Australia and England probably have...

Uelese hasn't confirmed he is leaving so to not include him would be a significant stuff up. At this time he is still a Rebels player and a current eligible Wallaby so needs to be included in that list.

With Tupou coming in where does that leave Sam Talakai and the big Cabous?

What happened to Moses Sorovi is he still there?

Have we been better this year? We have finished second last. We have looked better at times but the reality is we can't turn that improvement into wins. We do not have a single player on our list who is a definite Wallaby starter. AK (Andrew Kellaway) is the most likely but even with him there are strong...

With a limited squad for the WC can you really afford to take a 20 minute player particularly a front rower where you need a starter and replacement for each game. With AAA as the obvious starting tight-head can we afford to have the two others on tour be Tupou and Pone. I don't think that you...

Sorry, the best try of the weekend was the glorious push over by the Rebels. Ball at the back and a relentless push by the golden god in the front row. That is what the people want to see, not a bunch of namby-pamby mummies boys doing a bit of hot-potatoe keepings off. Sitting at AAMI I am not...

True but it would be nice if it was for the Wallabies rather than the Namibian brave beagles or whatever they are called.

It is a pity Dickie is not Wallabies eligible as I would have him on the plane to the land of the long white baguette.

I have attended all 6 games and I haven't received an invite. I wouldn't have done it anyway and I don't care, I have better things to do. That may have sounded more convincing if I was 15 rather than 55.
