Wallabies v France 1st test - Suncorp 7 June

[Gnostic]

I think like all reporters there is a grain of truth. Rugby is a compromise Phipps chucks the odd loose pass because he is trying to clear the ball so quickly.

If we want a fast game we will see loose passes, there was a couple from White as well.

The interesting thing to me is that under the current game plan we need units to be ready and aware to catch the ball as well.

When you look at Phipps work with the Tahs, his passing has improved as his team mates have embraced Cheika's structures, but I really don't really think his passing improved but the receivers are more ready and expectant

I agree to a certain extent, but his technique has improved. Phipps is actually passing from the ground now. IMO it is what has him selected in front of Genia. I would also say in addition to the points you made above his accuracy his usually good until he gets tired, which isn't surprising seeing the work he has been doing with the Tahs.

Let's lobby the IRB to pay for Folau's next contract for the sake of rugby.

So that was a joke but might've been in the talks.

Yeah, he gets to each ruck quickly

I just got a survey from Tourism & Event Queensland about the test. Wondering how many other did? I can forward the e-mail if you like.

I know it is not the ARU but I figure that the message will get back. At every opportunity I pointed out that I believed that the promotion was sub par and it would have been nice to have some fan engagement events surounding the test. I know Brisbane is first cab off the rank but surely a signing somewhere even by the walking wounded would have created some interest.
