I'm not sure that the 'status' you have arbitrarily assigned everyone is necessarily correct there, but I do wonder if a fix for the first Bledisloe is to start Carter Gordon at fullback and then bring Kellaway on later. Or using the BR philosophy perhaps even start Kellaway until he knocks up...

I would be in this camp as well. I gave him a ribbing after the game but there is no doubt he has talent.

I think 7 of the Bokke players sent to NZ early played against the AB's - that doesn't mean they were the 'better' players however, horses for courses, Rassie is no doubt trying to figure out his WC squad as well. Regardless, the team we played against played much better than the one the ABs...

That's easy, this old chestnut with black instead of the green

What did Scott Wisemantel and Tattsy Taylor have to say? Or Dave Rennie himself even?

You guys are looking at it from a Wallabies supporters (fanbase) perspective whereas the objective from RM WIlliams here is to realign with their traditional customer base after the US private equity firm that owned it prior did its best to butcher the brand. The two 'bases' are very aligned...

Who got RMW, Twiggy or Nicola?

I’m pretty sure the JB is saying it’s a new low for BR to pick on Koroibete for having an off night in a game that everyone else had an off night as well - except I believe for Slipper, AAA, Valetini, White, and Tom Wright apparently had a much better game than the shocker everyone else saw...

OK fair enough, I just wondered about 'the look' to an outside body like WR (World Rugby). And I guess it's just a decision with regards to one game of the tournament, albeit the most important one.

This Commonwealth Games debacle just now isn't going to be good for Melbourne hosting anything outside of AFL.

I noticed that Jonker launched a forensic on that one trying to find evidence of an angle above the horizontal. Just an all round proper good tackle.

The Bledisloe squad whenever it is announced will reveal a lot. I would infer that any player who is the current squad but not that one has had their RWC dream terminated, barring future injuries. Ikitau being the exception as he will obviously fall onto the rehab list, and possibly M Hooper...

The side we ran out on Saturday was not full strength and was weakened considerably once Ikitau had his scapula broken in the action of scoring a try by an illegal no arms tackle. These were the front line players not in the 23: Tupou Frost M Hooper Gleeson Samu Petaia Kellaway Ikitau for 70...

Joeys +25 Kings +17 View +6

Only if Kerevi is now a selector. That said it is a logical solution, however I'm warming to the other option thrown up, that being Foketi at 13.

I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on Friday’s game, that Tongan backline was pretty hot and our team had been together less than a week. Once they settled in and found some rhythm they went pretty well. Plus it was really about our 3rds bar a few players eg Tupou

I see one scenario that could happen - Fozzie gets complacent and runs out the 2nds in Melbourne. They’d probably still flog us, but I also think we’d turn it up if they disrespected us like that.

If you think the Rennie Wallabies were going to elevate from the worst win/loss ratio ever, throw in a few worst losses ever BTW, to world champions, you are dreaming my friend.

This World Cup cycle is largely a write off so on one hand it makes sense to start thinking ahead to 2025 and bring more of the next gen into the system. On the other hand, the thing that keeps us alive is the piss weak pool we have managed to jag in the World Cup, and if we are able to...
