Which led to NSW and ACT being taken over by RA, you OK with that for QLD too then?

And passes early enough to shrug off McKenzie, staying on his feet to support. Nice work.

Off-topic, but this would have been one of the benefits of an ANZAC Day Bledisloe - it would have created another narrative to generate interest in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). NRL does this really well with State of Origin - there's a few weeks when all the excitement is about the start of the season, then as soon as...

Urgh, stop it. I've humiliated myself.

You make good points, and if this wasn't social media, I'd have to admit my calculations were incorrect.

That's some great info. Those are some big changes to scrum and lineout timing. But it does suggest we've found somewhere new to waste time. If you have 8.8 tries per game and conversions are happening 14 sec faster, that's 2 min 3 sec saved. Plus, even if it was just 5 scrums a game, and 19...

Yeah, I'm not suggesting a continuous declaration of everyone's conflicts of interest, no need for that. The Rogers-Levi one just stood out for me. I actually think it's to the show's benefit that the participants have strong ties to rugby admin, it's just reasonable to acknowledge those in some...

Amazing - should be in all threads.

Mat Rogers is always interesting, has some genuinely different and useful perspectives, but he was asked on Inside Line this week if he'd pick Maddie Levi in the Wallaroos - c'mon, surely someone on that program has to point out that he's her manager.

It'd be an awesome experience, but I've always felt like American football would be a pretty dull game to play professionally - training must be just endless repetition of route-running and blocking.

Tight end is a pretty skilful position, in terms of understanding responsibilities for blocking, receiving. Hard to believe Jordy can pick that up in 6 months, but nevertheless, good on him.

Because in the stadium, you're still miles away from the action? Seems like a terrible stadium for rectangular games.

Happliy surprised that Bell and Tupou are still in the line-up, though they were due to be rested. Aside from hooker, a pretty strong team. Amatesero must be on the outer, he's not injured.

Cheik

Mo Longbottom must have the best pass in Australian rugby. Great game for 3rd, well done.

As I understand the Wallaby rest requirements, Bell and Tupou have to be rested next week at least. Seems like McKellar mostly went with resting the backline Wallabies this week, perhaps more rotation in the forwards next week.

Good to see Foketi coming back via the bench. Sinclair goes from captain to left out completely.

With the defensive ability they're now showing, they should just be kicking deep and challenging teams to start from their own 22, rather than these remarkably low percentage midfield bombs.

Yep. McKellar was vague in the press conference, "not long term". So I'd assume it'll be about 4 weeks or more, since that's what he said about Sualii as well.

No, I want the OG Tah Man, jumping out of a Black Hawk helicopter with the game ball. No messing around.
