Freddie Steward is everything Reece Hodge should have been.
If you’re going to be a 6ft 2 plus athletic specimen who never breaks a tackle- at least make sure you catch absolutely every high ball.
He was a bit of a mess when coming off... knew he wouldnt be back, hopefully the big fellas okArticle in SMH says AAA probably miss next week, Tupou back as baby already born.
Steward doesn't seem to be particularly great. Yeah he can catch a bomb... Hardly Will Jordan is he?Freddie Steward is everything Reece Hodge should have been.

Whenever I see Kellaway I think back to Auck schools rugby. Blokes like him NEVER got a look in, just cos of what they looked like. Always passed over in favour of the next PI freight train specimen who just burned you on the outside..... and because no one could ever stop him, he never learned to do anything else.I can't see Kellaway not being selected at 15
I thought he was one of our best, his work at 15 was excellent, safe, composed and smart
His hard work to get into position to just unselfishly get the ball to Petaia is what we need more of
I'm not sure you can draw many parallels with Kolisi's due to the very different circumstances: in a live ruck using a flailing action as opposed to well off the ball and with clear intent to strike.Interesting world rugby precedent from SAF v Sco game a few years back. Low force,mitigating circumstances, no suspension. Will be interesting to see if there’s consistency
“A release from rugby union’s global governing body outlined that Kolisi’s actions contravened law 9.12 – striking with the head – but merited only a citing commissioner’s warning because they “did not meet the red card threshold” and were only conducted with “moderate force”.
Another mitigating factor, that Horne was pinning down Kolisi in a bid to take him out of the game, was taken into account by American official David Pelton. World Rugby said: “The citing commissioner determined that there were mitigating factors which meant that the action did not meet the red card threshold, including the player being illegally prevented from re-joining the play.”
Looks worse to me - deliberate and more force. And it’s the same law.I'm not sure you can draw many parallels with Kolisi's due to the very different circumstances: in a live ruck using a flailing action as opposed to well off the ball and with clear intent to strike.
Swain obviously provoked, but no excuse for striking. Will rightfully cop a ban, and can only hope that Hill's actions (both the hair pulling and striking/push) will similarly be looked at.
Think you’re missing the Auck not AusWhat do you mean neve got a look in? Kellaway played for Australian schoolboys ?

Wouldn't be outrageous after losing Banks, might even be smart.
Obviously there's a connection but he's on the Gold Coast and in kit, is he actually in the squad now?

Turns out having those physical limitations might really help your spatial awareness in the long run.
I'm not sure, the new kid looks promising. He broke a double tackle in his firt moveWithout May, Daly or Watson England's back three is nowhere near as scary as it used to be.
According Wikipedia he weighs 106 kg. Is it true? Looks too much for meWhenever I see Kellaway I think back to Auck schools rugby.

Henry Arundell's try against Toulon for London Irish was amazing. His pace, balance and swerve is next level. Surely he starts for the rest of the series.
