the video ref can't rule on it iirc. decent try anyway. will be interesting to see if we are good enough to come back from this.

Yea, he makes the game worth watching alone. Seems to have a 6th sense for rugby sometimes.

Welcome back Pat McCabe. I think a fully fit McCabe is a world class inside centre, and he is still early on in his test career. Can't wait to see him back in gold, just hope he hasn't been rushed back.

lol my apologies, should have given a nsfw warning.

I feel sorry for kids in a team like that (where coaches constantly yell at them on game day). A good example is how most of them wouldn't even touch of defensive structures in training, but when a defender makes a wrong choice and lets in a linebreak/try, the coach will go off at the kid for...

LMAO, well put.

Well yeah he makes a lot of key turnovers and opposition teams generally focus more on stopping Pocock. It's something I watch for when watching Force games. If I were the coaches I wouldn't be too concerned about our pressure at the breakdown for as long as he is there. Maybe I'm wrong and we...

Hodgo is regularly just as, if not more effective than Pocock at the breakdown in super rugby games. 2013 will be a big season for him.

It would be great to bring those two guys into the squad, they'd learn quickly. The structure is there, and they just need to spend 3 or 4 weeks focusing on perfecting their role in the team. But if you bring in too many outsiders all that goes out the window. (That's what I think I remember...

Holy F#ck, he doesn't have a bloody clue. Most Wallabies players will struggle to get into the 7's side. It is a totally different game now. We can only afford to bring in 4 or 5 guys so we don't completely f*ck up the squad's structure. If he seriously thinks Karmichael Hunt can just walk...

Hi everyone. I saw this guy walking around the city today with this version of the Wallabies jersey I hadn't seen before. Does anyone have any information on it, or know where I can get it? Is it an old-school version, or maybe it is the 2015 version? I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask the...

Well yeah pretty much. After all it is their job to win, so they will select whoever they think can achieve this regardless of how nonsensical the team looks on paper to the general public. But it's fun to speculate I guess and that is what internet forums are for.

Rolland and Owens are generally stricter on the "sealing off" aspect than their SH colleagues. That is just a subjective observation though. Anyway, they have named a strong team of officials so there isn't much to worry about IMO. As for the weird looking team. I'm going to trust the coaches...

Each year I just start watching and eventually find myself going for 1 or 2 teams in-particular. Last season I think I liked Southland and Bay of Plenty the most for some reason. Probably because they were underdogs in the top division. This year I'll probably follow any teams with aussies...

The ITM cup is great to watch on foxtel. But at the same time, makes me sad to live in perth where rugby is only on for half the year. And people say we are a first world country? .........

It was definitely a penalty for foul play (which was what was given?). I'm not sure if they have a publicly viewable red/yellow card offence sheet though. (unfortunately) A deliberate no arms tackle is subject to a yellow card in any form of rugby. If the tackle is off the ball, then it's a...

Great choice. Good luck Hodgo.

Looking at some positives... For once out budget isn't entirely tied up in the backrow. We still have 3 established backrowers, and 2 very promising guys coming through. This puts us in a situation (just about) on par with last season but at a much lower cost. We don't really need a superstar in...

Thanks, I was confused about that as well.
