The game could be a moral victory or a blow out, I have no idea which Wobs will turn up

We will see if he can compete as an adult, being a 105kg kid can mean that basic skills have been neglected as they could bash 99% of kids

It takes a while to trust the guy next to you and know where they will be

I really thought we were going to lose by a 1,000 early in the first half, the attitude was so much better, the efforts just got better

It is interesting to see how few Blues players are playing for the ABs They win the Super Rugby playing hard aggressive rugby with a set ruthless pigs grinding the opps pigs into the dust That seems to be what the Abs are missing I still think they will be too good for the wobs, but the wobs aren't...

I not sure if anyone really is "enamoured", he isn't crap and he has the ability to sniff out a try against the run of play - with a viable kicking game and a good pass But for the Wobs, the starting 9 will have a marginally better platform to work off and the day we had the best platform, (the...

I don't understand White's selection, he was really, really slow in his last test

All the 10s look military medium (like the rest of the country's IMHO) So we need to provide whoever is selected the best platform and as basic a gameplan we can so his mediocre skills are maximised

I think more important is how injured players can still deliver on one leg (because they are all wounded)

More concerned about the pigs providing a proper platform and the units then leveraging that platform but Edmed must be enjoying having units running hard into space and giving him options

Not sure to stick this here or in the Wobs https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/taniela-tupou-is-on-the-verge-of-wasting-his-god-given-talent-20240913-p5kabc.html Tom Carter has a project

There was a line from one of the Tah's trainers "you can have the best program set out, but you can't stop them from driving through KFC or stopping at the pub on the way home"

Is he THP? I think HTS is a switch

A massive job, especially defensively, but it has been the same for a while. I expect a quite simple, straight forward game plan with hopefully a clear understanding of roles One positive from the Wobs weekend disaster was Kellaway's try, good hands, simple play. It doesn't have to be...

Yeah, I think the broom needed to and was sent through the place There had to be a re-set

A competitive Tahs is quite important for Aus rugby commercially, it is the biggest market, with the most upside (they can't be more shit) I will be more interested in who is running about for them in 2026, so many one year contracts

And an another one, should we go back to the bitching about the lack of signings, a week after the comp finished?

Kellaway has been 13 cover as well in previous tests, but with wright out Flook covering 12/13 & wing makes sense

Toole's key strength is his speed, there was an aside in one article when Jorgo was first picked on the bench that he was the "quickest" in the squad (with Toole in the squad) I haven't seen it repeated anywhere, so I don't know if it was correct, but it may explain current decisions

I disagree, Kellaway just continually makes good decisions in defence, support and attack. This isn't Super Rugby, the Wobs need units who minimise errors and work hard We are playing tight trying to keep it near the pigs to limit turnovers It isn't likely this lot will be running sweeping backline...
