I was trying to remember how it worked ‘back in the day’ when you could only make a sub for a legit injury. You literally had to get carried from the field. I thought professionalism might have been the cause. Out of curiosity I referred to Jenko and Alfie’s publication ‘Wallaby Gold’ to...

I thought the same thing - I had to reread it to make sure it was actually a bot

OK that all makes some sense then.

I'm confused by this thread - it's showing up in my 'suggested threads' and as the most recent in 'rugby discussion', however when I click on that header it's not listed anywhere and some of the posts above that are quoted aren't showing up in the thread e.g. dusk quoting DCT's one that says...

He's also the least selected one, along with Kemeny, Nongorr and Schoup. He's listed as a fly half, they are always worth a bit due to touching the ball lots and being presumed as the goal kicker. I'm signed up BTW

I'm in, who's volunteering to do the hard yards?

It's an interesting perspective, because in 2002 he inherited Macqueen's world beaters, and in 2016 he inherited that pommy rabble and threw everything including the bathwater out, and had success with both. In Japan, he inherited nothing, just built it, also successful. If you believe the...

Not only that, even if they aren’t a banana skin we need to maximise our for and against in case wales or Fiji are.

I worded that badly - I didn’t mean they aren’t a fair representation of the current performances, only that they will likely look different after the tournament.

World rankings mean precisely zero at the start of a RWC tournament. Double points throughout so at the end of the tournament they will approximate the finishing positions.

Is it too early to start this? If there is a structured format for the RWC then fell free to delete mods. With our games spaced a week apart and then 2 weeks between the final pool game v Portugal and the QFs, I won't be surprised if we start our strongest available lineup in every match...

Paisami was playing against Portugal, Foketi was playing against France. I agree it wasn't Foketi's best game and he did look a little lost but that's probably a function of not getting any game time since Super Rugby and having to learn Eddie's game plan with a bunch of players he's never...

Yes, this is probably the case now that it's mentioned. I did see that Roar article DC but took it with a grain of salt, initially. I guess if we need to make a change now will utilise a 'legitimate' injury.

Foley is the interesting omission from that 'Barbarians' team. Yes, I'm reading something into it.

I think we just ditch the thing. We tried it multiple times last night with zero success. I’ll rephrase, use it sparingly but do something else as well so that the opposition don’t know what we are going to do every lineout in the 25.

I don’t think we have submitted the squad to WR (World Rugby) yet. We have until tomorrow to do that.

Expecting Bernard to get called in to the squad.

Wilson elected to stay home to play finals for Brothers as I understand it.
