I think you grasped the concept - you just don't like it! I remember the Reds coaches saying as much in 2011 - "we've got a simple set pattern that Quade can then improvise on top of" (paraphrased) Clearly that worked in 2011, but hasn't since. It was also a problem at Deans' Wallabies where...

Attritional first half - while the Tahs could keep that defensive pressure on the in the second half, the Reds couldn't. The Tah pack did a great job nullifying Gill and Thompson at the breakdown after oranges. The Tahs also flattened up a fair bit and Foley got the pattern working. As per...

in true Waratah Jesus style he surely can't just walk the ball on. I'm predicting public masturbation or a bomb vest

You've lost me. Nothing in me starting this thread was about any particular provinces - you introduced that. But your logic on the internet ruining a great advantage for the Wallabies is clearly flawed - it's already been rumbled. If anything the patriotic thing to do now (if we do have any...

Can't give you more except that have seen it in an email from a 'horses mouth'.

Too funny - I didn't even mention the brumbies before you went off on one. My thinking is that this Super Rugby season quite a few teams have been allowed by refereeing to misuse the maul and that could well bite a number of us in the ass. The provincial overlay was yours

I'd love it if someone did some analysis of the ratings for the front page. Graphing it year on year would be an eye opener

I'm trying to understand. Are you saying that you don't want non Brumbies fans bitching about the maul because that would draw attention to its illegality and rob the Wallabies of the world cup, thereby sending Australian rugby broke?

Thought I just did!

Information has come to GAGR indicating it will most definitely be reffed harder at the RWC. Being dependent on it would be a big mistake

There's a piece of analysis brewing, but for it we need the number of tries scored by maul this year vs last. Could be by team, could by overall in comp. Anyone seen any data?

Just what does the Force back line do during training?

Before you decide to come back, again, have a read of this important forum rule #3

Nick Mallet you say?

Bit of a horror show. I don't know if it was the high altitude or the two yellows but the Tahs were out of gas. They had no pace onto the ball and their realignment was turgid, if it happened. Some key players just didn't show up. Folau had his worst game I've seen. Hooper had zero impact...

Our FREE WILLY case is building

Here's what makes no sense - Commissioner says Latu's role much worse than Skelton's, yet he gets 2 weeks the same as Skelton, mitigated as being young and unblemished as Skelton is as well. The only reason he ends up with 4 is with the auto 2 week addition. Surely that initial 2 week...
