Gordon is an interesting one to consider. What is the point of U20's internationals, is it to try to improve talent to be a viable choice for the Wallabies in the future, or to simply win the next game. I think I would start Gordon, but only give him half a game and tell him that this is what...

Any thoughts on the broadcast last night? I switched to the sky cam a few times and the player cam. Neither had any commentary but were set up to have very clear player sounds and referee microphone audio. If they are going to allow these streams to have no commentary, then I wish they would...

He needs to pick up the ball to do that, was it just me or does he just leave the ball on the ground after it clears a ruck or scrum for an extended period of time?

He did kick well for about 38 minutes. I was still pretty happy with him, rather he has issues at U20 level rather than as a Wallaby in a few years time if he gets that far.

I found the logic quite interesting, because a player has not won games at Super Level against NZ opponents you don't get picked for the Wallabies but we will select guys who played in Japan and therefore have not proven themselves against NZ this year either. I think we will end up with about...

It reminds me of the media outrage that follows the calendar. Invasion Day v Australia Day Should Daylight savings be all year Should we have Australia Day Should we have Halloween A school has banned Christmas Carols They all get a run every year to provide a week of outrage

totally agree, we should hold off discussing previous coaches abilities until we know if we win. If we lose the flood gates will probably open again

I always thought Link was capable of using the same playing group and putting into play completely different game plans for each opponent. He demonstrated this ability while at the Reds with vastly different plans (I assume they came from the coach) against different styles of play. When playing...

Could Cooper just sing up for a club rugby team in Brisbane and meet the eligibility criteria?

the problem is that when we clear it from our 22 it only goes to the 40m line.

Comparisons are very hard due to not playing the same teams (and players) every year. If you include pool games at a world cup into the mix then you could expect a higher percentage of wins in that year, as would occur if the Spring Tour included a stop in Japan and Italy. I think the best...

You have spoilt it for me, I always thought it was a true story;)

Except in QLD where being able to throw is optional.

no secrets for me, I love it and am happy for it to be public

I don't watch any of the UK premiership and find this quite interesting. Do they play a game that generally relies on quick lineouts or are most lineouts uncontested? I would have thought that the hooker would still be important for line out throwing.

That makes sense, but wouldn't it be great to be able to bring in players with Korczyk's experience from outside the 23 instead of a kid who has never played Super Rugby.

The player cam interests me, but don't know how it would work, is it an option within the same stream or do you have to go out of the game and then select a separate stream to watch it then try to guess what point of the other stream you were up to if you want to switch back?

A proposal for a Chinese Naval Base may get them a second team? A more likely situation would be Albo going to Fiji with the Rabbitohs and trying to make League their game with a ton of government cash
