Which to my smooth brain is counter intuitive. The breakdown and game is going to be slow already and the Scots aren't going to be isolated (especially if you play wet weather rugby), so Tiazzano's effectiveness will be diminished. I fully acknowledge I sound like Qwerty, but this is a game...

Yeap agree on what you've said, just that Tizzano is not the right answer for this weekends game. Given the type of game everyone is expecting, an out and out 7 is not suited. Fraser while a jackler at heart has shown a number of different aspects to his game. His reading of the play that's...

There's no need to give Fraser a rest. He had a huge chunk of time off during TRC. You can't question Tizzano's committment or willingness, but we saw he unfortunately just doesn't have the impact we need. Looking at the weather, I don't expect it to be a open running game and looks like it'll...

Which is absolutely fine to strive for. But, incidents like the one we saw earlier in the match where Bobby V absolutely smacked the Welsh 6, who was penalised for not rolling away, only for Doleman to say he was knocked out but went back on this after the Welsh said the player was "stunned"...

Two things can be correct here; 1) RA and Melbourne Rebels are jointly liable for the tax bill; and 2) RA provided money to the Rebels to cover this bill, Rebels did not use this money for paying the ATO and used it elsewhere. Then the Rebels directors obviously don't want to be left holding...

First time? From like Sept/October onwards with F1, NFL and EPL, my TV is on in the background while I WFH.

More importantly, no-one on this current broadcast team is a miserable prick. Marto and Kearns were a depressed pair that had no desire to make the broadcast entertaining and were always whinging about the Ref, the opposition or someone. It's the same crap Fox based products sell, misery...

When the squads were announced, he wasn't eligible for selection due to family reasons - https://wallabies.rugby/news/wallabies-and-australia-xv-squads-confirmed-for-november-tours-20241022 Similar to Hunter, while he may have also copped a knee injury, his wife gave birth to a new child in the...

You're completely right, but if we're talking about complete failures, he is/was up there! Vunivalu has been more a disappointment. He's had his good moment but every good game was just a false dawn for us. I really thought he was going to kick on this year when we saw him being used more and...

Lachlan Maranta would probably take the cake. Bennett is his Godfather and still booted him from the Broncos.

We've played 2 matches and scored 13 tries. Across the entire failed RWC campaign, we scored 11. If Joe manages a Grand Slam, I hope Waugh will be calling the Governor General to have Joe on the AO list come Australia day!

Watching the game on an iPhone, it was hard to tell whether the long passages of play where the darkness had the ball, did they have nothing in attack or were the French that good at defence? Normally we see so many players / decoys in motion by the ABs, but they seemed quite pedestrian.

I just think its a tad disingenuous to say Tom should be starting of Seru as "his selection has come out of nowhere". It's not like the guy hasn't been putting in solid shifts for the past couple of years, gone through the ranks and been near or around the squad for a number of years now. We've...

We've seen what the Ned Hanigan from the Brumbies can do at the Wallabies level already.

Casting my mind across all Australian teams and even looking St the Wallabies, there isn't much mass locally. But between Henry (if he stays fit), Frankie, Hunter, Flipio, Jock and Anderson I think there's enough size there to be strong in contact. Hopefully we'll see Dre fill out more over...

Don't worry Ras, they're all a bunch of backs that drop balls during their uncontested "shadow" plays. Us forwards need to look out for each other, the backs don't realise every seat piece requires us to shift large volumes of weight either horizontally or vertically.

Hell yeah, nice to see some actual assistance going on. It would be absolutely fantastic to utilise some of this financial weight (if it gets into the 100's of millions) to take on the French league as being the "premier league". We've seen for too long SH players going to the NH, but it'd be a...

What I'm reading is, we want JAS to have more touches of the ball. Perhaps the messiah should be shifted inside and wear the 10 jersey? Then we can just have JAS, Kerevi and Len at 10, 12, 13 and we can get back to what made Australian rugby great "running it".

Naaahh, I'd rather see Bell or Fraser given the C over Alan at this stage.
