The pattern is actually Disaster followed by 2x OK - so, by your figures, we're coming up to an OK. Thanks for the cutting edge analysis.
My pattern is: one OK game and a disaster against the same TRC rival. I didn't said a sequence. I am in the analysis stage.

ahh, the follies of pattern analysis
The only truth is reality. Last weekend the ABs dominated the first half and reached the Wallabies 22, easily. They wasted too many tries. If they improve their aim, it will be a new disaster.

Yeah but the ABs have the chance to redeem themselves this weekend, playing at home. I don't know if your mother has the chance to have surgery and get wheels this weekend.

Hopefully this isn't geo-blocked:


I was at the Wellington game, sat right behind the posts looking straight down the barrel at Nobody taking that bloody kick after screaming "time's up Kaplan" for what seemed like five minutes but was probably more like two. That said AB had at least three chances to put it beyond reach (including taking a drop-goal & making sure it ended up in row 27 if it missed) so only themselves to blame.

AB’s have had chances to redeem themselves all year and bar the 2nd Argentina have looked largely shit

Thanks for posting that. I missed the first of those - at a wedding (who gets married on Bledisloe day) and was getting texts from mates there with score updates - could not believe what played out.
Watched the second at a work conference, and I won the tipping comp - actually picked the score! I forgot how long Kaplan stretched those last 2 minutes...
2 pretty amazing teams there.

I get where you're coming from—Toole would’ve been great to see, but I agree that Flook is a solid choice. His pace is definitely underrated, and I’d put him right up there with, if not faster than, Daugunu and Pietsch. His defensive reliability also adds a lot of value, especially in tight games. Flook gives the team more flexibility across the backline, so it makes sense to go with him for a well-rounded option.
I suspect he's going to be a Wallaby great over the next few years.

In what position? He's definitely very solid but he plays one of the few positions where we already have someone good. Suallii might be a 13 as well (though maybe not right away)...

OK guys I reckon he has the makings of a 12 or 13 with a strong D and a good ability to make a half break and supports strongly. Now you may not value these things but I do.
As to Emu when is he off to Toulouse? I suspect many of our players are looking at buggering off for more money, some wins and trophies and a trip to Europe/Japan but I can't see anywhere that this is happening in Flook's case.
