Campbell or no Campbell, this is a tremendously exciting Wallabies 23 for Bledisloe III - you can see the future of Australian rugby starting to unfold. Go the Gold!

mightyreds

But you watched the games, right? If you did, you’d know he was head and shoulders above the others in form this year. Wasn’t close. Campbell had two good games, and even in these he couldn't tackle 3rd grade fractions. Shit though, maybe you're a better judge of Dave Rennie and Sleepy Jock is bett...

I am saddened by how many of you actually believe Biden is an upgrade on Trump. It is as if you willfully ignore his history of racism, hypocrisy, and now his corruption, and enablement of his son's deviancy, and criminal behaviour. You are stupid people. Biden may well win. It will be a disaster f...

Has Covid faded away yet? Also, I see Pence talking about Trumps how much they've achieved and how they have kept their campaign promises. So I'm assuming the following have been completed? - Obama care replaced. - Hillary locked up. - the wall built and paid for by Mexico - The deficit down. - Ove...

It's tiny compared to the NRL or AFL. Be that as it may, the point stands. Were they consulted? Perhaps even more to the point, was any sort of consultation conducted? It would seem to me worthwhile to know what club rugby players of indigenous descent think about this, as well. Anything we do in t...

Great leadership by Rennie, rejecting what would have been a cheap jumping on the bandwagon of the showbiz antics that have been adopted in the US. As he has acknowledged, what the ATSI community needs is respect and support, and more people within their own group working to reduce the rampant figur...

Definitely time for McDermott and Lolesio to get the call up on the bench to get at least 20-30 mins - if DR is serious about the 'Nail it, or you're out' bit, that is. JOC has been quite good, especially last week, but I have been going through a fantasy replay of the last minutes of Bled 1 in my h...

Another terrifying reminder of what become routing events when you allow immigration in huge numbers of a religious group incompatible with Western society.

Rather than get mangled up in the SR thread, this one is a bit of clear air to focus on this particular subject I like the look of this news.

Your next step is to buy him one of those magnificent gold Wallabies jumpers.

I zimbra. to summon a monster apparently yes, and his name be Ned hanigan Hopefully DR has seen something we haven't seen. My best bet is it relates to 1 the not-always effective cleanout of our own ball last week - NR providing more weight than Samu going in after the ball and 2 our lineout hiccup...

It was a humdinger of a game, and well played to both sides. Excitingly unfamiliar: the Wallabies hitting the ground running in a Test in NZ, despite limited preparation, dominating possession, and getting a draw over there (anything except a loss over there is unfamiliar, but this side was unlucky ...

Unbelievable they don't use a neutral ref. Probably thought it's early Christmas. How do you get a neutral ref in, Covid has slowed travel. OH shit ja. I'm guessing it's more to do with us doing an 'extra 2' thing with NZ so we play them 2 more times than all the other teams do - looks like it was ...

mightyreds

That last penalty kicked for NZ was a result of a scrum push by NZ in which the Wobs scrum went backwards and disintegrated. Exact same thing happened the previous scrum for Aust but the ref shouted he can't give a penalty because the Wallabies can play the ball. Crooked ref Crooked Aussie ref Gard...

I would have thought a preferable balance for the Wallabies backrow would have been 6 Samu 7 Hooper 8 Wilson, as Samu is a bit light for an 8 but has great mobility as a 6. How much is Samu outweighed by the kiwi Goliath? Yeah, I get it, Rennie may have put Wilson at 6 to counter Frizell's size. So...

Actually totally irrelevant to the Bledisloe.

I have been speechless since I saw the squad and found the omission of McDermott, the biggest selection blunder of RWC 2019, has been repeated. Nothing against White or Conroy, as I have always been a fan of those players, but '...side to be chosen on form - really?' He was so far ahead of the other...

mightyreds

No idea what Rennie will choose, but I'd go 1. Sio 2. Uelese 3. Tupou 4. Phillip 5. LSL 6. Wright 7. Hooper 8. Wilson 9. McDermott 10. JOC 11. Korobiete 12. Toomua 13. JP 14. Wright 15. Banks 16.

I was already frightened about this US election, but I've been waking up in fear since Trump tested positive, as the history of western civilization will be at stake, and the choice is a no-brainer, between Trump and the tangled web of opportunist/fanatics, criminals piggy-backing on 'noble' causes,...

I'm finally taking a break from grieving over Saturday:

Regarding Shanky/Towny on Wright/McReight for the Wallabies: an all-Reds backrow of Wright-McReight-Wilson wouldn't go amiss at all.

'It's Len Ikitau I fear the most.'

I think Ikitau should fear Paisami.

Meant to reply to Zakars comment on the Match Day 23 I previously posted, that 'I'd be surprised if we see Ralston in the squad though, let alone starting.' Yes, you were right, Z, and I think for the reason that I mentioned in my last post: he would have had to hold his good form right through to t...

I can actually imagine Jacinta saying that at her politically correct peak.

She's done a great job with the pandemic, though, even if all it took was a few loose cannons to mess it up again, however mild it may be compared to the worst countries.

Great to see Hardy getting a run again tonight (despite the circumstances). He's such a quality player, it's hard to believe his only 2020 appearances have been the 2 selections on the bench.

While we're looking at potential Wallabies to meet the Dave Rennie commitment to 'a team picked on form', is it coincidence or bias that Rugby.com.au waited until the Waratahs had a big game to start their Super Rugby AU Team of the Week segment ?

Tupou likely ended Slipper's test career in 2020. It's weird seeing the angst he creates in other Australians.
