Say what now?

Yeah like the neck roll in that same play where the Ireland try was disallowed

Good intense battle I thought. There were times where I thought Ireland were just hanging on, but really they could have won that game. The Bokke didn't have it all their own way by any stretch and Ireland at times put some real pressure on them. I give them a massive chance to win the next one.

I'd like to see the majority of the side stay the same, so we can see if they develop further this week. There were quite a few blokes who showed they were up to it and deserve a second crack (e.g. Faessler and Williams).

Yeah that was unbelievable

Very happy for this group of young men and their coach. It's not always pretty but winning sure as hell beats losing. I thought the defence and breakdown work at the end were outstanding.

All Blacks probably a little lucky to get away with that I thought. England were good and physical today.

Excellent appointment. Best of luck to the Tahs and we need our biggest rugby state performing for the health of the game here.

I'd be astonished if an astute elite coach like Schmidt would pick TT if there was a significant doubt over his match fitness.

Yep, pace on the game late. I'm excited about what McReight and Cale could do together.

I'd argue that x-factor players have been a big part of the problem in the last decade. Maybe a more systematic approach is what's required.

More or less as expected but man that's a FRESH Wallaby outfit. Stoked for the young blokes who've been picked. There's some real pace across the pigs and backs too. I hope that means we're going to play an up tempo and direct game.

This is excellent news. It would have been a shame to lose a talented Aussie coach for a prolonged period.

This is going to be a great game

I really respect Wright as a captain at the Reds and think he should be in our match day 23. I'm not sure I'd pick him at 6 and captain for the Wallabies, when we've got Cale and Valetini. Now Cale isn't a proven test player but Wright isn't either. I think the ceiling is higher for Charlie though.

Hoops has to be one of the most likeable sportsmen I've ever seen. Great player, great man.

I'm stoked that he's providing that feedback. In my professional life I can't tell you how many times those conversations, where high quality feedback and planning is discussed, have paid massive dividends down the track. What Schmidt (and hopefully Cron, Lord L etc) is doing right now is...

I have a quiet confidence in the three old and wise heads in that coaching group. I think they're going to be very good for some young blokes who are keen to learn and a nightmare for others who maybe aren't so motivated. I'd like to think that everyone in that group of 38 is keen as mustard to...

So Cheik to the Tigers and Dan^2 to the Tahs? I still would love to see Wisey get the Tahs gig. That guy is quality.

Good appointment for mine. Now go and get yourselves a head coach.
