Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Mungo Mark has been dropped from the Tahs squad for their game this week... Mentally checked out before the season began. Is it just me or has his form been poor this year? He was one of the best players in Australia in the previous couple of years and then he went downhill after signing with Mungo...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Mungo Mark has been dropped from the Tahs squad for their game this week... Mentally checked out before the season began. He’s been playing pretty well imo. I doubt form had much to do with his axing. Teddy Wilson dropped as well. A few weeks ago the Tahs played a kid at LHP - now he’s in 2nd grade...

Re: World Rugby to curtail Bok's Bomb Squad
Not at all, not sure why you would think that? I don't, however, think that reducing the number of subs is going to reduce the size of the players to the extent that it will reduce injuries, not to any significant level anyway. To do that you will have to change the laws of rugby completely, depowe...

:uhoh: Who are the other ‘big islanders’ that you’re considering? Uru and Leota were the two I was thinking of. Although Uru is in a position where we have plenty of depth. But I think big blokes with islander heritage is a pretty safe bet across all 15 positions. That's a fun wallabies XV 1. Kaile...

Re: World Rugby to curtail Bok's Bomb Squad
Subs numbers won't be reduced. Ross Tucker said on his podcast last week that there's increased risk of injury when fatigued, reduction would be asking for trouble. I keep seeing Ross Tucker saying that about the danger of fatigued players but its nonsense because reducing the subs will result in l...

Other than Kellaway and Toole on the wrong wings, that's not bad. Why only one foreign player in BPA? I know he's eligible based on signing for Force next year, but if you're going to fly a player over, why not Kerevi as well? Or Skelton etc? Also personally, given the inexperience of the halves, I...

Re: World Rugby to curtail Bok's Bomb Squad
Fourie tackled like a demon, but the Bok lineout and scrum was poor in comparison. Their strengths were negated in an area they think they dominate. That's because Fourie is not a hookers arse. And that’s the backfire that the 7-1 should have been remembered for. The thing is, Fourie was there as a...

Re: World Rugby to curtail Bok's Bomb Squad
As I said, they can’t play in their team’s next game. Should stamp the gamesmanship quickly.

Re: World Rugby to curtail Bok's Bomb Squad
So players who go off injured aren’t then allowed to play in their teams next game? It’s a bit silly to define what an injury is. Why not reduce the size of the bench if this is such a big deal? No need to define an injury. Anyone who goes off who isn’t a substitution is an injury replacement. So i...

This is dumb. Maybe switch back to a 7 man bench with mandated 2 props and a hooker. But that’s all you need to do. The 2009 Lions Tour was peak rugby for me. That had only 7 subs allowed. I agree also that apart from a complete front row the rest of the bench is up to the coach. For all the wailin...
