The Lions were unimpressive and will hardly have Joe Schmidt shaking in his boots. Their best were the centres and wings, and the always dependable Genge (though Freeman gifted one try to Argentina, who were wonderful and it was great to see the emotion of their fans and players doing the pogo with ...

Correct and well done Joe - all too old!
Samu Kerevi is 4 years younger than Bundee Ali.

Yes, but the Lions don't have younger, better players to put in - we do.

Two absolutely astonishing omissions: Ryan Lonergan - I'm a Reds supporter, and I can still see he was the best performed Australian 9 in Super Rugby. Tate was close, but RL was still out front. Josh Canham - with Nick Frost, he was one of the 2 best Aussie locks, week in and week out. I prefer to b...

And has anyone ever seen a bigger bullsh[*]t fest than the announcing of the B&A Lions squad? They took 60 minutes to do something they could have done in 20. Muffled shouts kept coming from the very toffee audience and I'm guessing they were saying "Get on with it!"

Be nice to have full stadiums. Every twelve years they get them. I wonder who holds the world record for a tier one test crowd. Clue: it was a game between 2 x SH teams. I think it was the 1998 Test between Australia and the ABs in Melbourne, which got 98,000 plus. I attended with my brother and to...

What a game! Both teams going like hell at it and the Reds only hitting the lead for the first time 2 minutes before the end. Thankfully they were very strong from there to close it out. They should have won by more because they scored a try at 17 minutes (check it out on your Stan replay) which was...

I’m assuming that’s in Toole’s favor based on Koroibete’s poor defence and lack of speed? After last year I feel that he’s marked to never play again under Schmidt. nt But Toole will probably find it tough to leapfrog Kellaway, Daugunu, Potter and Pietsch for a spot on the wing… it’s possible that’...

mightyreds

Toole I would say is as good as most provincial wingers going around in defence, especially in cover. And he is as big as a winger needs to be for Test rugby, when you look at Kolbe driving Will Jordan into the turf in the World Cup semi-final. He makes Kolbe and Arendse look like midgets. One thing...

I guess convention demands I say RIP but I won't miss him. A bolshevik nutcase who supported Chinese persecution of Christians - how inappropriate for a Pope can you get?

Thierry Dusautoir vs NZ in 2007 or 2011? It seems everybody is forgetting the great Springbok lock, Frik DuPreez, who not only monstered the British Lions' lineout in the 1st Test of 1962 but also scored a 70 metre try, as he could run like a gazelle. I notice Frik is still with us to I send him my...

During the week I foresaw a possibility that Lolesio could manage his game to the point of being his best every week, based on improvements over the past year, ie: . Brumbies' SR semi-final 2023: Brumbies forwards have the better of the Chiefs, but crucial passing and kicking errors by Noah contribu...

What an arm wrestle! Daugunu, Lukhan - superb! Other heroes: Taniela, Conroy, Cale, Lynagh, Kailea Everybody else: for working hard throughout, with a miraculous self-redemption from Thomas Wright. I had been thinking, 'Maybe we have Kellaway at fullback next week...' And though Planet Rugby player ...

I got myself up to speed on Williams - realised he was the inspirational captain that led the Force to a number of against-the-odds wins this year - I just hadn't picked up his name from the commentary. With leadership like that at his age, this is someone you want fighting in the trenches beside yo...

I’m sure that we will see Donaldson in the next few weeks. Lynagh plays similarly to Noah but he has a potential ceiling much higher than the other two. He also has a good connection with Tate, Paisami, Flook and Wright/McReight. Its a perfect opportunity to ease him in. If the game goes south Noah...

Again I have to ask you, what do you think he's up to? Leaving aside any allegations of inappropriate behaviour with adults which is a separate issue, all I'm seeing here is a somewhat senile old man.

It's all falling apart for the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, and probably in the history of western democracies. Biden was one of the generation of politicians influenced by the Washington swamp to be in it to make as much money as he could anyway he could, right from his first d...

mightyreds

I would have had Donaldson to cover Noah off the bench, because the last game the Wallabies turned out in (vs Portugal) every player was excellent and he was a part of that, but there's a lot of for and against in this spot, as Lynagh's selection is a concession to the factor I was convinced would d...

Great to see the Reds muscle out an inspiring victory at the end. Our whole backline played like loose forwards to disrupt the dangerous Chiefs attack, and our forwards stayed strong from start to finish.

Great to see our Maori brothers and sisters out in force in Brisbane to stand against anti-semitism and send the Hamas Hate Brigade a 'you won't pass here' message. It brought tears to my eyes - the All Blacks are now my 2nd team forever!

People genuinely think that indigenous Australians already receive far too much largess, even though they're by far the most disadvantaged group in Australia. 100% this.
