Why would Australia have any say in a contract between Skelton and La Rochelle?

Sure. But if you want to pick International players for test matches you need to get the players, agents, players associations, and unions on the same page. South Africa is doing this. It took time, but its working. Contracts are negotiated with a clear expectations.

So what's the deal with Tupou? Buggering off is he? Does he remain in the 4N squad? Seems to have got himself off the couch. TH prop is a real problem. Nongorr was not much better than Robinson. How the heck did Aus rugby not stay in the loop in Skelton's contract negotiations to make sure he remains available when needed with compensation? They dropped a huge ball.

What the ? Nonggorr did a solid 20 mins shift - he held the scrum strong and in the line out he did a huge lift for Williams which enabled him to do the steal - even the Stan commentators made mention of it. His work rate was high - In his 20 mins he completed 7 tackles - whereas in their 60 mins Slips and TT completed 6 and 5 respectively each. He had 4 carries - and Slips and TT 6 each. Slips and especially TT were great in the scrum - but Nonggorr held his own and did his job. I’m not going to bag Tom from the week before as it’s bloody hard work out there. But seriously - Nonggorr did good work - he matched the increased pace of the bench, his D was excellent and kept the intensity going. He’s 24 mate. He’s young and developing well. Slips is 35, AAA 31 and TT 29. We have depth. On both sides. Enough of the negativity.
