I'm not advocating picking Foley, but I can see the argument, given the issues I mentioned above. With our current trajectory, grim will be playing the Bokke and ABs with someone waiting in the wings. I suspect. Not looking great.

In the immediate short-term, giving Foley a run makes some sense given our lean stocks at 10, both fitness and form-wise. He does have a lot of experience. But the vexed question is looking to next year and the RWC. I'd back Quade to get healed and fit, given his professionalism, but it's a...

Pumas by 9-12. Too many changes for the Wallabies.

To think, it once was Quade. The circle of life.

I'll believe that when I see it. When the Tahs inevitably under-perform ™, you won't be able to help yourself.

Identifying trolls on what basis? Unless their sign-up email address is imafuckwit@trollbridge.com you don't know until they out themselves. So, better if people report stuff, don't engage, and we nuke them. Plus, a lot of the worst offenders are well and truly from within the GPS system.

Thanks for the tip, Random Who Signed Up Today. We'll take it under advisement. No, we actually won't.

It's a contact sport, they cannot eliminate all the risks. Well, they can - just ban rugby. The number of reported head injuries can be related to many factors - are there more actually happening; are they just recognising more? Any changes made now may take decades to mature in terms of...

These are the things that need to be tightened up. I think also the tackle is an obvious area where collisions occur so that makes it a big focus - "We are doing something!". And they should - this issue is important. There would be plenty of deceleration-type injuries that occur in a rugby game...

I actually think it's a bad move, placing Aus and NZ out of step with World Rugby right when the legal issues of head injury / CTE are becoming very hot. It has been knocked back once, there is little to no likelihood that decision will be reconsidered. I don't really see the sense in it. I'm...

How does the number on your back dictate whether you play tighter or looser, apart from the back of a scrum? I don't get this narrative. Surely they just get the player to play to their strengths? I mean front rowers and backs pilfer. The old dogma around playing a certain way because of your...

Nobody is ready! You can't handle the Cyclo!

Not even Satan knows what to do with Dismal.

We're kind of heading towards that already, I reckon. As much as everyone doesn't like it, Aus rugby has always been top-down in terms of the money - the Wallabies flying high gets punters in and money too. As we settle at a solid 6 in the rankings, with potential to drop to 7 or 8 it's hard to...

I think it is a little fraught trying to apply the same level of scrutiny to schoolboy matches as Pro / Test rugby. It is well documented that a lot of the tackle issue in Pro / Test matches are identified by the TMO - not often called by the Ref or ARs in real time. No TMOs here. Right or...

He seldom misses the chance for regurgitating an old rant.

FFS yes!!

Sorry, were we a lay-down misère before I typed that? ;)

Well, we should beat Italy... :oops:

I liked this mainly for the "champ".
