The use it or lose it rules around the maul need to be clarified. The Brumbies had one maul stationary for 15 seconds

Glad it seems as laughable on tv as the game. Shocking ref

Yeh despite the soft yellow he received. He put on lots of dominant hits. He makes a lot of one on one hits which don’t require gang tackles that suck players out of the defensive line. His issue now is 1) clean up reputation on foul play and 2) build something more to his game than been a tackler

He was very good for the feeder club but often had club legend Boyd playing centre and possibly the best centre in the game Staggs playing a head of him. Then was let go after the drugs bust. Did get a few bench appearances.

Perese is a seriously good

I’d almost bring Swinton off and bring Gamble on to have more on ball happening. Tizzano is a brilliant battler but doesn’t get his head over the ball much. Need to slow the game down

Entertaining half. Force winning the collisions. Agree that Kaitu’u was infront of the man when ripping the ball, so would be considered a forward pass but Force deserve the 8pt lead. Tahs need to find some enthusiasm and kill the dumb penalties. Swinton yellow was soft but he should know he’s...

Hope yet that SRAU will remain. Perhaps could end up with SRAU (1 full round or 2) and a single round combined TT.

Only in NSW would a semi-pro club coach go to the media and complain about a young guy getting an opportunity to start a Super Rugby match. I look forward to a VFL or NSW Cup RL coach doing the same in their respective sports. Haha

Actually scored the same amount of try’s as the Force and overall 30 points more if you count kicks. Tahs have actually scored more try’s than Force and Rebels. For a team that’s fourth on talent coming third, it isn’t that bad. Not great but not shocking, last week was the only inexcusable...

I dont mind the single round idea, however the only catch is that it would be financial suicide as there isn't enough games to get a decent tv deal or build memberships

Yep, the other thing as well is that its highly unlikely it would be a full home and away, so it would end up some fixture list where every Aus team plays each other twice and the others once etc. that some will complain isn’t fair.

I’d much rather a forward pack from Victoria with Uelese, Valetini, Samu, Hosea, Faulkner, Fa’amasuili, Leota up against Godwin, DHP, Hardwick, Tizzano etc. to settle proper state grudges. Just like Bell, Philip, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Dempsey bashing it up against JOC (James O'Connor), To'omua, Petaia etc. Wouldn’t expect a game...

I don’t think the other states need to be combined. Wouldn’t you want to see Vic vs WA? There is more than enough players across SS, QLD Prems, Super Rugby, etc. to easily find numbers. 5pm kick off before the main event of NSW vs QLD at 730

If SOO or SOU games did happen, then no Frankenstein sides made up of numerous states. Just make it NSW v QLD and VIC vs WA if more players are to play. States with real rivalries to them beyond the footy field. No NSW vs PI heritage vs Rainbow Unicorns vs QLD. It’s pointless and means...

100% The current Brumbies team is around 5/6years into a team built from Jake White based on 2/3 years of pragmatism. The current Reds team upskilled quicker but still had 1-1.5years of forward play. Both built extremely solid foundations to build the game on from. The Rebels were fairly...

Couldn’t of said it better

I’d like to hear a little more from the ref review on the challenge that caused this. It was reckless verging on unprofessional.

1. Robertson 2. Fainga'a 3. Tupou 4. Swain 5. Hosea 6. Valetini 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. McDermott 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Campbell 12. Simone 13. Flook 14. Petaia 15. Hegarty

I think the captains challenge works a treat if the TMO isn’t able to interrupt the game as currently happens. That way teams will point out play that they deem is foul or incorrect. Also would mean we can just get on with the refs call. Would of almost certainly meant the Reds disallowed try...
