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...

So it kicked off at 3am last night? - I've missed it!

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...

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...

My comments, PART 2 (Wallabies Squad): Am very pleased to see a Squad with a lot of strength provided by the following 2 contingents: 1) a large number of very talented young players (the largest for a LONG time - Bell, Daugunu, Faiamausili,Harrison, Horton, Hosea, Lolesio, McDermott (at LAST), McRe...

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 ? Why hasn't this been going since the tournament reco...

Tupou likely ended Slipper's test career in 2020. It's weird seeing the angst he creates in other Australians. Here is a really nice kid, who is super fit, trains the house down, loved by everyone who's met him who looks set to become a truly World class player (and possibly more), and we hear abso...

Well, that was dismal. Tough week for the Reds.

Deepest sympathy and love to Jordan Petaia and his family. The loss of a parent is the most terrible blow life can bring.

To me, this game went contrary to history as the Reds showed more flair, but the Brumbies just stayed strong in the basics such as ball retention (an amateurish knock-on from the first kick-off being typical of the Reds' glitches), and that gave them the confidence to keep using their rolling maul a...

I have 2 major observations about this game:

. The Reece try was a clear knock on, but in NZ it's always been a case of, 'We referees will overturn the rules if we want.'

. Put a sailor hat on McKenzie and a corncob pipe in his mouth, and he would be Popeye.

McDermott 9 Harrison 10 Locked in for Wallabies. You're half right, Bindi, in that McD should be locked in (he should have been locked in last year also, but the Wallabies selectors were blind in one eye and sightless in the other), but regarding Harrison, you don't seem to realise that Lolesio was...

Yes, every time Hanigan plays lock for the Tahs their scrum is total toilet, but their coaches don't seem to pick up on it.

Last night I turned on the TV and watched the Storm play the Roosters at this same ground. The difference in terms of intensity, ball handling skills and kicking could not be more stark. How good were the scrums, mauls and lineouts. Yes, when someone compares 'intensity' between NRL and RU, they sh...
