In that post I literally said "Scotland played much better than Wales did" and I've congratulated Scotland for their performance elsewhere. I'd suggest the Wallabies didn't outplay Scotland at all, but what I was suggesting is that the Wallabies didn't play terribly last night, it was just a...

Sometimes thats just the way it is. We definitely played worse than we did against Wales, but Scotland played much better than Wales did as well and executed the game plan far better. We lost a very key player in Coleman at the beginning of the match and if it were not for a bounce of the ball...

The Roar is fast-food sports journalism. Spiro should not be allowed near a keyboard for the benefit of wider society.

I forgot about them aswell. In that case: 1. Smith 2. Ready 3. Ryan 4. Carter 5. Skelton 6. Mumm / Fardy (one of them won't play France) 7. McMahon 8. Dempsey 9. Stirzacker 10. Cooper 11. TQN 12. Godwin 13. Perese 14. Koroibete 15. Morahan / Kellaway ^ No one in that team should be needed to...

I disagree. When teams get frantic and desperate they make poor decisions. Look at the ABs against Ireland in the final 10. You get stressed and think "Fuck we've really got to score soon", make a half break and throw a silly pass without thinking about it.

James Horwill was actually commentating for the BBC if you streamed it. Otherwise Justin was on BeIN.

Can't Tupou play considering its not actually a test match?

3. Pocock 2. Foley 1. Sio

Onwards and upwards. The team for this game has to be chosen with the French Baa Baa's 23 in mind, as the Barbarians game is only four days after this. As such: French Barbarians: 1. Tupou 2. Ready 3. Slipper 4. Carter 5. Skelton 6. Mumm 7. McMahon 8. Dempsey 9. Frisby 10. Quade 11. Taqele...

Dougie reported that before the game had started however. I think we'll see all Barbarians against the French Baa Baas.

Fell awkwardly in a tackle / in contact with several players and someone landed upon his knee. Didn't look great and I don't expect him to play next week.

I agree. I didn't think Genia had the best game so I'd be tempted to go Phipps / Foley for next week, BUT I do think Cooper would've suited tonights game more so I'm just as happy to see Genia / Cooper. Infact, I almost wouldn't mind seeing what they've got / to give them some solid game time as...

Jesus christ what a fucking stressful game. Perhaps I will have a drink @Scoey. I'll need something stiff to drop the heartrate before bed. Fuck me. A win, but an ugly and unconvincing one at that. We'll need to play a lot better next week. Speight and Skelton to be dropped. Phipps to be...

I actually haven't touched a drink but I'd love one if you're offering. I didn't defend his selection I simply refuted the notion that he was responsible for Fardy being dropped. I also thought it was ridiculous that people were hanging him out to dry prior to the game even being played with a...

KURIDRANIIIIII!!! You beauty!!! I'll forget the first half missed tackle ever happened.

Can you read? I said it was stupid and we all know what will come of that but ultimately 50% of clean outs don't involve arms at all and entirely use the shoulder. I wasn't defending Skelton but rather questioning the law.

Dean Dumm with the cover tackle!

Stupid from Skelton but thats so soft. Nothing wrong in that. Literally every second single clean out looks like that in slow-mo.

I'm about to fucking vomit from nerves. We've gotta snatch this boys. Our best scoring opps would be from the set piece. Genia's got to get off he's really slowed up.

Skelton and Ala'alatoa on.
