I agree he is off atm and I think its just a lack of game time and confidence with Lilo. When he is in form he is pretty good, but what do you do until he finds form? The other questions is where do you play him when his kicking returns without sacrificing To'omua?
As for THP's I say throw the youngster's in the deep end until one swims! I also have a feeling we may find a THP hidden in the NRC.

Unfortunately they appear to have completely given up on analysis and decided to be a cheerleading squad instead.
Not even an attempt to map out the possible scenarios for each of the Australian teams in contention for the finals dependent on which way the remaining games go.

man, the hard hitting puff interviews just keep getting harder.
only one game of rugby on this weekend? Oh yeah, if you didn't blink there is evidently a warm up game in the world before the french test, I think the abs are playing eng tho you wouldn't bloody know really.
The show has just become SO aussie centred it's a joke.
Bring back 'across the ditch' and the equiv SA one whatever it was called. A couple of muppet interviews with the players with greg martin?
Jesus wept.
(don't really know what that saying means! Sounds good tho)

It's an Aussie rugby show and the Wallabies are playing their first test of the year. Why would they look at other country's tests. What I would have liked is some content on the current JWC. Today's games at 3.30 and 5.30 will be very good
What should they have cut from last night's show?
There's only so much they can fit into the show. Personally, I'd prefer the interviews with players and the story about Matt To'omua etc. than them running through the team sheets for NZ vs Eng and Arg vs Ire etc. that I can read in many different places.
If they spread themselves too thin they end up covering barely anything.

Well for starters they could have cut the segment where Sharpe cooked a toasted sandwich.
I think Terry J has a decent point. I would have liked to have seen a short preview of the All Blacks v England game.
Believe it or not I think its games like the All Blacks v England that will actually be watched by a lot of casual fans who don't necessarily follow rugby that closely. I remember in 2012 going around to a friend's house and there was a bunch of league fans glued to the screen watching the fighting Irish battle the Blacks. It's games like that that remind casual viewers why test match rugby is the ultimate indulgence.
It would be nice to see some recognition of the All Blacks v England game, which I think will be a cracker.

You know what annoyed me last night,when they were looking at the remaining matches for the tahs brums and force the aus team left with a chance to make he finals.
They had a good chat about the tahs then brumbies and when it came to the force Horan had the floor to talk about their prospects but instead made mention of the game against the reds and started to talk to cooper about their prospects for the match and the rest of the season.....um what about we talk about the force who are in with a shot at making the finals instead of talking about a team at the bottom of the ladder.
Just shows how bias the show is to the tahs and reds.

it was a bit annoying how little they got cooper involved for actual analysis.

and agree. cut out the cooking segment...(trying to appeal to female fans i assume?) and instead do a more detailed analysis of the french opposition. we don't need two maloney segments in a show.
show us some more highlights and analysis of the french team
run through the england v all blacks game...it is an aussie show but there are a lot of kiwis and poms who would have foxsports and want to see something on that game.
interview giteau about the world XV game v the boks
and yes...the u20 WC.
it's an international break so why not ditch super rugby. they can cover that the week before super rugby comes back. just focus on international.

People are complaining about 5 minutes of the show in total.
It's like saying a rugby game was completely ruined by three scrum resets.

people seem to be complaining more about what wasn't on the show than what was on the show. I had no major problems with the show but agree with other, there are some big rugby events coming up this week/weekend that probably should have got some coverage.
GaffaChino - I thought that Horan turning the Force talk to talk of the Reds was probably in part trying to involve Cooper

BH I've changed the channel for less.... It really is an unnecessary addition to the show, it's like pausing a rugby game for 5 minutes to show a player do a juggling trick..

I too don't like the player interviews, they're mainly just talking in cliches about their upcoming debut. Nothing really interesting. I'd be much more interested in actual rugby news and analysis. Maybe some footage of training? Interviews with assistant coaches about what they're implementing in camp.
