Dunno but I hope he holds them better than the last guy!

They sacked the last noodle holder after the Argie debacle.... Clearly didn't know what he was doing with the concussions and then the shit show fielding high balls...

Shock horror - training with pool noodles, bean bags and jumping castles results in poor performances.

Looks like Jim McKay has been down at wallabies training holding the pool noodle this week - anyone know if they've been bringing some of the super staff in regularly or if it's just calling in extra bodies relatively local to the gold coast?

Guess it could be a sign he's on the Aus A staff later this year, given they want them doing everything in the same systems as the wallabies.

Dismal needs to work with this euphemism.

If we want to be specific he was waving the pool noodle in Tom Wright's face while he was shirtless and mounting Scott Wisemantel...

Would one of our friends from north of the Tweed put me on the correct path about young Fraser: is it Mc"right", or Mc"rate"?

If he keeps up his level of play, it'll just be "Fraser".

We're not there yet but if McReight keeps up the form, the Hooper situation becomes complicated when he's ready to return.

I don't think so. One starts and one stays on the bench. I think we got enough decent choices at Captain now too. Plenty of options to make it work.

Can't see Rennie changing his mind about (not having) a specialist 7 on the bench.

Fraser for mine just keep getting better. I think we already knew he was test quality but his development this season has been excellent

Since when did Dan Palmer join the coaching staff? Petrus Du Plessis is still there and was giving feedback at half time but Palmer is definitely there too.

Aus A program I wonder?

Palmer was there??? Well guess it confirms the rumours I’ve heard that Petrus is the next body on the chopping block after Tattsy.

Not a great look if just another Brumby coach gets the gig.

Well it will make the team announcement a lot less exciting.

How well has this comment aged Phil? Reckon there might have been a little method behind such madness.

Haha - I am allowed to have a chuckle at the use of particular training equipment.

I also don’t think elite sporting programs will be rushing out to emulate Rennie’s training techniques based off one win.

Regardless, based on the result of the other game yesterday, it’s probably fair to say the Wallabies supporters out for blood may not have given the Pumas enough credit.

Other test teams like England have used the exact same technique for training, its not uncommon in pro rugby teams.

It simulates the sensory overload conditions/distractions which you get in match-day as opposed to training, when teaching players to take highballs.

They’re used across many different pro sports too, not just rugby

That does look like Palmer in the backgound
