Les Kiss doesn’t use the bench astutely. Angus Blythe is sent on with 6 minutes to go. Mack Greely not strong enough to tackle close to the try line at this level and he is not fast enough.

Seldom have Kiwi commentators given me the shxts that bad.

Show those amateurs how it’s done Hoops

'Incredible' Hoops backed to do better than Boks legend who 'failed abysmally' in sevens switch

Mused6, Stiles was a dud but Nick has learned much in the last 8 years. I remember he once said he didn’t want Tupou running the ball in the way that made him famous. Apparently, Nick wanted him standing around waiting for the next scrum. That was an odd thing to say considering Stiles had a sidestep and a good pass himself. Even now players don’t give Tupou the ball when he wants it. Stupidity or professional jealousy?

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

Expensive world class players need to be managed carefully. Coles has a different physique. Coach Goon and his sacked acolytes had no skill in that area. I have seen Tupou play 80 minutes or close to it on many occasions. Stiles is being too kind to the dud Reds’ coaches of the last decade.

Do you think rugby Australia paid a substantial settlement because they couldn’t afford a
trial. I am tempted to quote Ricky Stewart at this point.

Izzy back to his old ways: Folau scores on debut from a falcon in Japan after nine-month absence

Izzy’s try was the lead story when I opened the Roar site today so the Roar cares. You better find another site Seth.

Dear Muzzo,
RA paid Folau compensation for something. Why do you reckon they did that?

Julian Savea takes Izzys super rugby try scoring record, years after Folau was illegally sacked as a result of a one person McCarthy style purge by the Australian media and the weak and incompetent Rugby Australia board.

Bravo Tizzano. The Reds missed Flook in defence when he wen off with the head injury.

Players should expect the selection of the best players available at the time for test duties.

'Breathing life back into Australian rugby': How Reds revolution can supercharge several Wallaby careers

PK, I was thinking about the Wallaby squad… I’m still bitter about Harry Wilson not being selected though happy that he was here to help Bros win the Brisbane club competition.

Don’t worry Cockroaches, the Tah players’ test spots are safe.

Goontime is behind us at last. The recruitment of AB props was a masterstroke.

“Wallaby great” … I had hoped he had more ambition. He should be take pleasure in how far he has come. The revolving door to the Coach’s box make further success very difficult.

'I want to be a Wallaby great': The World Cup heartache driving one of Eddie's bolters forward

This Jock talk reminds me of the talk of Bernaaaarrd boosters when he was around. He had a good game against Scotland once. Jock is a lean athletic player with good passing skills who had a nice game against the Waratahs in a trial match! Petaia wouldn’t get injuries if he didn’t try so hard; he should get some instructions from Suli.

Tahs suffer fresh injury blow ahead of Super Rugby season, Reds rookie favoured for No.10 jersey

I hope HM-P doesn’t have to play 80 minutes and that Lawson gets some game time at #10. It’s a long season.
I guess we’ll see if Les has any brains.

I watched Lawson score three tries in the first half of a club game leadingg up to Bros’ Grand Final win. He is a strong balanced runner and he is young. His golf is shxt!

Force edge Reds at Ballymore after Harry Potter double as fit-again Wallaby stars

Early days.L-C has been playing club footy. He’s a big #10 and durable. It’s not that he can’t pass. He will learn to spread the ball under Les.

Cec, There ìs no chance Jordan will be dropped by the Reds. They couldn’t hold Kerevi. Petaia has a great resume. Notwithstanding some asinine comments here, he is hot property on the football market. Even Eddie Jones could see that. If he doesn’t get the WallabyTop up payments, he will be off to Europe or Japan in a flash. Quade can show him the sights.

Jordan Petaia is a brilliant player, big strong, fast with a powerful kick. He had just endured six years with a hopeless coach and a World cup campaign managed by Eddie Jones. He has been forced to play outside substandard #10s. When it looks back in his career so far the win loss record is very ordinary. Like all good players he wants to play in teams that are successful. Sometimes a marquee player will go to an ordinary team for the money. Jordan who plays with 100% enthusiasm every game it’s entitled to look for a better opportunity. Kiss and Schmidt have 12 months to impress him.

I have the feeling the Australian Seven team is like a little club for batchelor mates, jealous of 15’s players who are tougher and more well known. They do not like new experienced famous people coming in. There are only a few places available and if you are replaced you have to go back home to obscurity and get a job.
