Yes the classic rugby opinions of certain races " hey look a brown player- he is talented but have to wait for him to evolve his brain". F**** off the racism is so obvious. In Australia obviously but this also happened and kept happening with Nonu in nz too. Despite him ending his last few years as...

If Petaia remains fit and has a decent career I would guess that he will be remembered as being extremely talented. He has the tools to comfortably play in test rugby and rare talent. He has had them from before the first time he ran onto a test pitch. He has had a rough run with injury but hopefull...

Did you have to get dispensation? I thought we were barred from leaving - or are you using another passport?

Interested

I applied for and was given an exemption. I did need to get a negative test in order to transit through the US.

These jokes are always trotted out when something like this happens. Usually via Gallop poll.... Complex questions, or a simple Yea/Neigh? Groan. Talk about making hay while the sun shines.

Olo

Agreed. I imagine that they will play him on the wing for now seeing that we are missing a few front line wingers. There might be a possibility to move him to 15 late in some of the RC games.

Olo

I didn’t know that the Brums were sponsored by AIG? We need penetration in the mid field, preferably at 13. Both Kerevi and Petaia can provide it. Having Kerevi at 13 with Petaia at 15 would be even better and give us more line breaking ability. Paisami and Ikitau were well contained by the young F...

I could live with 13. Kerevi 15. Petaia
Petaia doesn't play for the ponies, Olo, so you won't get much traction for that.

Ahhhhhh…….say what? No, but he played for the Wallabies against the AIG All Blacks.

Olo

I’m still a fan. Quade is a pretty good 10, probably a step above anyone else we have at the moment.
How has he been playing?

Olo

But JOC still in the squad. Ditto Petaia and Kaitu’u.

Are they injured or available? I see that Vunivalu has been omitted. Looking a little thin on the wings.

Olo

Good to see Rodda back. Samu as well. Paia’aua Is an odd one.

What is happening in Australia right now is mental and you lot are just sitting here talking shit, swallowing the BS and enabling the tyranny.

But right now the advice is for under 60s to not get it. To get it you need to go to your GP and go through the side effects and sign a disclaimer. Govt needs to underwrite the risks and give it at vaccine hubs to everyone The advice has always been that Pfizer is preferred for under 50/60 when ava...

How often do you see actually pre-meditated thuggery on the field at the professional level. With players pay checks, and even careers at risk from the judiciary, no coach / player is going to make that call. Just make the players sanction more disincentiving. Saffa eye gouging, head butting, Owen’...

Olo

I would be open to that if all parties agreed but feel the 20 min red card send off and ban decided by the body would achieve the same thing. Acts of thuggery get a life or very long ban.

Either way a change needs to be made soon.

Yes, he was always leaving after this season. Most likely will sign back in Oz for 2023 or 24 to make him eligible for the RWC.

Olo

Can’t do an orange. That will make it more or less the same, opening up the door to judgement error on the field. It will also slow down the game by making stoppages for foul play longer while the already confused refs debate which colour to go for and talk themselves up a level or two. Exactamundo...

What’s happening with these games now?

Let’s just call it 1 each for the first 2 and play a decider in Oz.

Olo

Surely the length of the ban matches the seriousness of the transgression? The 20 min period of playing with one man down is punishment enough on the team and keeps most games competitive. Players will not intentionally commit foul play if it means that all or part of their season is on the line. If...

Are they not quite a long way into developing an effective treatment here in Australia?
Queensland Uni I think.

Yes.

Is Nicolas Sanchez coming for the RC. Someone might want to have a quiet word.

Olo

He is pretty small. Have a look at the team pics. He is about the size of the small backs.
McKellar will know if he’s up to it or not.

Dave Rennie is working out the differences between Soup and test footy

Olo

Yes, Its good to have the power at the back end of a test. Hope Uelese gets more time in the RC. He looks fit.

White fit and available but JOC likely to miss the first Bled according to the SMH.

Olo

Maybe. The ABs will be a big step up.

Olo

The jury is still out but Lolesios improvement was considerable through the French series. Facing the ABs and Boks is a different story. I distinctly remember Mounga running around Lolesio last year like he was standing still. We will have less time and space against them. Hopefully he goes well. Ha...

Yes, his name is Tate McDermott.

Do you think that the govt just lopped a few cases off to make him wrong? Hopefully in a week or two these numbers are almost zero.

I am no longer pessimistic or as sceptical. The 3rd test side was a step in the right direction and I think if MK had not been sent off the team was primed to really take France to the cleaners. BPA was a revelation. I had no idea he had that sort of game in him. Rennie said he is looking for a “NZ”...
