Maybe 1 to 2 years of minimal competition and a lot of S&C could add years onto the back end of his career

I highly doubt it's due to a lack of dedication. He has captained Queensland and Australia, which wouldn't happen without a strong work ethic. Players have strengths and weaknesses. Maybe he just hasn't had the right specialist coaching, or maybe he just doesn't have the raw materials for a...

I spent June in New York and Washington and was surprised to see some signs of rugby. A few pubs playing MLR. MLR games on free to air (I think) TV. A few MLR Jerseys on the streets. There was also All Blacks, Springboks, England gear about, no doubt being worn by expats. The game does exist...

Brain trauma is no doubt the biggest issue facing not only rugby, but all contact sports. If we can't find a way to mitigate the risk, you could argue that there won't be any rugby, league, AFL, NFL in 50+ years from now. The reason why I don't think saturating the game with red cards and...

I'm with you Derpus. This is beyond lame and actually pretty unfair to Samu. A three week suspension should be for deliberate, malicious play. Technical Inaccuracy in a high speed collision with no I'll intent does not warrant that sort of punishment. What's worse, is that it could well spell...

Were are you getting these Stats DC?

I'm more surprised that an opposition coach will have access to the information!

This was messy but did make me laugh. Dolman was basically saying there was nothing clinically wrong with the bloke but nobody can reasonably be expected to remember the laws of the game and roll away after being steamrolled by Bobby V

Great result with some good looking attack at times. Still plenty of room to improve, I think the final score line probably reflects Wales weakness more than our strength. The first Welsh try particularly showed that our goal line defence still needs to harden. It's just a shame that yet...

Very tough on Williams if that's true. I am a big Frost fan but would have dropped him before Williams.

I don't know if we have earned that level of confidence quite yet. A very winnable game but Wales in Cardiff will never be a walkover

I am surprised there was no mention of the Wallaby player receiving the high ball, who LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was protecting, getting taken out in the air on the same play

Is Wilson definitely out for this week?

Absolutely agree. Best XV on the park for all spring tour tests.

Fair criticisms of the Barrett Boys but I would still smoke my left nut for an Australian equivalent of them.

You would be dropping Rob Simmons and putting Fardy in the Row

Seriously Arous Horrifying

If the squad remains injury free I agree. I suspect there will be injuries and he may play a bigger role out of necessity

Wouldn't be a bad Wallaby back three at all
