Unfortunately the reality is we haven't had the skill to execute it for the better part of two decades.

Undersized yes but I think he makes up for it, particularly defensively. According to the stats I'm looking at he made 9/10 tackles and also beat four defenders tonight.

Surely Vunivalu will finally get his opportunity next week. If our bad luck on the injury front turns around during the decider and we can actually build some continuity throughout the game with the players selected then I like our chances. Hopefully our sometimes fickle Sydney supporters get to...

Countless more Kiwis in Melbourne than Queenslanders (at least of the rugby fan variety).

I had a chuckle when the mexican wave went up barely a fraction into the second half when the All Blacks were only up by eight. Not much respect for the game amongst the Eden Park crowd tonight.

I think the outcome would be different - much worse.

Shocker from Harry Wilson tonight. I think he'll take that personally and put in a much better effort next week.

There are no answers.

Not the best quality rugby. Going to be hard to stay competitive against the Kiwis with 5 teams. But it’s great to have games played in Perth, hopefully the sea of blue faithful are repaid with a home victory for their enduring loyalty.

There is a lot of talk in here about us ripping this concept off rugby league. Well they ripped it off Australian rules in the first place! Sometimes a good idea is just a good idea, that doesn't mean it can't be tweaked to suit our purposes and made our own over time. I think given rugby's...

Then he misses out. If a player has no legitimate claim to Queensland or NSW why should they be selected to represent either of them? There have been many star players that haven't qualified for the rugby league version over the years, notably SBW.

This was more or less the approach behind the Ballymore Tornadoes of the short lived ARC: ”Queensland's two teams in the ARC were aligned with existing clubs and regions. The Tornadoes were aligned with six Queensland Premier Rugby clubs north of the Brisbane River – Brothers, GPS, Norths/QUT...

Typhoons in Japan at this time of year aren't some rare occurrence. Perhaps enough slack could have been built into the schedule to afford the rescheduling of games by a day or two? Delaying the start of the tournament by a month would also have markedly increased the chances of avoiding such...

No Samu is such a headscratcher from my armchair perspective. Disappointing that he fell out of favour given the excitement around him last year. His form this year still warranted his inclusion in the Wallabies setup IMO.

Not too many household names there. Got a version with their clubs linked?

Probably a naive question but why aren't blokes like Henry Speight, Sefa Naivalu and Curtis Rona in the mix this year?

We need to get off mother's tit and go our own way for a change. As per usual RA is in a state of analysis paralysis, no guts to make a decision that puts our own needs first for fear of missing out on someone else's money. How much lower does our code need to sink before we realise there is no...

Turned up to the game tonight expecting to see young gun Jordy out there. Devastating to read he's been ruled out for the season. It looks to me that this squad, despite the potential, could use a few more older heads around. Attack was pretty rudderless and disjointed.

Just got back from my first rugby match (or any sporting event for that matter) at the SCG. Lovely stadium, terrible for rugby. Really sucked up any atmosphere there might have otherwise been. I won't be rushing back, particularly at those prices. I must say there's not much passion (on or off...

So who becomes the de facto holder of the Horan-Little Shield now the Rams have been unceremoniously removed from the competition?
