Re: GAME OF THE WEEK: Australia vs Fiji
Is this an official test match? If so what are permutations for WR standings. And as mentioned by commentators this will 1st time they've lost back to back against Fiji. I think we are 8 and fiji 9....which seems fair based on that. Cheers, thanks for that. To be fair Wallabies didn't deserve that ...

Re: GAME OF THE WEEK: Australia vs Fiji
Gee that’s a shame, such a great try. I really wonder sometimes if that had stayed ‘missed’ would anyone have thought to go back and look at it? WR obsessed with cancelling tries. Might as well bring back the captain’s challenge. Three tries overturned in the game so far. From memory 4 from AB Fren...

Re: ALL BLACKS V France C 1st Test. Match Thread.. Theo will be in attendance
Well done and hard luck France. The ABs have a lot of work to do. The aimless kicking is still there. Our backs are not working. Too many playmakers trying to be stars cluttering up the moves and ruining flow. Sort that horrible shit out. France, what can you say, it's France, they were written off...

Re: OFFICIAL QUALIFYING FINAL #3. BRUMBIES V CANES CLASH OF THE CAPITALS THREAD.
The Canes have Kirifi, who’ll potentially dominate Rory Scott, who’s skilful but not very physical. Still, the Brumbies are a good team, have very few injuries and playing at home - I’m thinking they’ll get the biscuits. I don't know the betting odds, but my take is that the Brumbies have a 55% cha...

It's specifically designed to deal with drone attacks and has successfully downed drones. I guess the question is how many it can handle and how expensive each individual system itself is.
