This feels a bit of a strange conversation when we saw exactly why the coaches have him on the wing on the weekend. Leota made profesional rugby winger Andy Muirhead look a bit ridiculous for his great try. I'd say the coaches are going to want him to keep doing it. Spreading the field with a...

It's the lineouts isn't it?

84% - 16 / 19 this year, with zero penalty attps (union live app)

Probably not going to be a popular call, but I reckon that box kick at the end is the right play, especially with a pretty good chase. The kick was at the 45m line with 1 min 15s to go. No ref in the world will let that play out with just pickandgos without a defense penalty. Brumbies never...

Other than the 20 mins after half time when it lost its way a bit, thought that was another excellent game, with a great ending. Super Rugby keeps delivering in 2025

I reckon it's right around there that we lost all the non-rugby fans watching on Nine

I just rewatched. Ref was 100% focussed on the low tackle. AAA then asked him about #1 and ref said mistakenly says "yeah that's who we were looking at" even though they spent the entire time looking at and discussing Heaven's chop tackle

Were they checking the chop tackle down low and just missed Bell's shoulder charge?

And now Bell with the shoulder charge. Ref needs to get this under control

TMO must be joking. Kellaway belted in the head, and just shakes off the trainer as well. Where's the HIA? Appalling all around

Muirhead won't enjoy the review on that one. But pretty great lead up work with the pick and goes to engineer that one on one

Lolesio smashed in the head in the tackle where he spills it forward

I could get behind Cheika for this reason. It's realistically 10-15 tests between taking over and a home WC appearance. The most critical set of matches for Australian Rugby for 24 years. We need a short term option. Can think about long term after the WC. The selection process should be, "who...

I'd say that's what it was practically, but still it means the TMO stuffs this up. You can't mitigate down for always illegal acts of foul play, which clearly a headbut after the whistle would fall into. So the ref decided it was yellow card threshold - which is clear TMO decides * there is...

There is no official policy from RA to not select players under contract as far as I'm aware. At least none published. It's up to the coach to select who he wants - it appears the previous choices to not select contracted players is just Schmidt's decision (and I don't think that's wrong to...

Given Qld v NSW was identical ratings on publically available data, I reckon what this shows is absolutely no-one was watching the Super round last year

Is there any talk in England about setting the salary cap at a sensible level underwhich clubs can actually afford to stay solvent?

I think the main one is they select people in Japan for the national team

Under current arrangements, he's staying exactly where he is - but I reckon this is where full centralisation might give a better outcome. Having Wallaby locks miss selection because of too many players in front of them is such a waste of resources
