Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
He's absolutely quick off the mark, just hits top speed quickly. That's fine for a 10, they don't need to be speedsters. True but pace helps with everything. Lolesio’s speed is definitely not an issue. +1 Running at 10 is overrated anyway. South Africa have won 4 World Cups without a running 10.

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2024?
I enjoyed it all. Though it looks like audience numbers may not be high enough to earn a second season which is a shame. Might be a slow burner in terms of audience numbers.

Great performance mostly from the Rebs. Lancaster will be up for higher honours sooner rather than later. Seems like a faster version of Kellaway.
