Think Po has to move to 7 and bring in another big 6, Dempsey or Lukhan don't mind. The backrow is not working, Hoiles, Kearns, Kafer and Gregan all brought it up.
I suspect you're right. It is important to recognise the difference playing against tired bodies makes, but To'omua has done everything asked of him and more. Might be interesting to see them (him and Lilo) flipped against next opportunities with Lilo on the bench. Beale around if needed too. Can't hurt.

I thought it's out if the ball crosses the plane?

Cheika has every right to be angry - that decision on kerevi on attack was mind blowing

cyclo i'm the closest thing to a ref on my couch and the unanimous vibe-call is that the Welsh bloke was fine. Play on.

Didn't we miss one goal each? I think the difference was the drop-goals.

Well, blind Freddy can see why. Consistently poor player selections, incessant reliance on his under-performing favourites; poor game plan and management, no long term improvement in players' skills. Should Freddy continue on?

Not a ref but I the reality is Toomoa needed to find touch....I am perplexed on the Kurevi carry penalty.

And you all blasted me last week when I said To'omua should be starting 10. how things can change
He's so good in broken play, I'd be tempted to start Lilo and bring him on after 45-50 again when he has the opportunities.
A metaphor for the current wobs, our best player can't pass or hold the ball
Well done Wales, too good on the night
I'd have Dempsey as a reserve - mad energiser bunny to come on and get stuck in. They definitely need to look at other combos in coming games. They might also be "managing" Pocock's recent injury and see him rested too. Just spitballing this one. It'll be interesting.

The difference is technique and range.

Foley shouldn't have even made the squad based on performances post 2018 super rugby
CLL missed the game due to accumulated fatigue, I attribute that to the self confessed non-believer in sport science, either that or he's a liar. Not to mentioned the calf tears he instigated back in Jan.

It's fine. Plane of touch is almost irrelevant now. Been this way for a while too from my memory.

Dave was monumental tonight, literally kept us in the game when we were getting blown off the park.
James O'Connor looked really threatening today.
As a Reds fan, I have watched alot of Kerevi and I think he has plenty of rough edges. His ball carrying is world class, but he so often doesn't pass when he should, doesn't position himself well in support and when isolated doesn't have the ruck craft to "push the egg" out the back (make sure we don't lose it). When he had the ball ripped out of his hands I was pulling my hair out.
Hes a superstar and one of the first players picked, but I think his strengths sometime patch over his deficiencies.
