what tripe. He played very well against Wales.
Is bigger always better for Australian players who go to Europe?
It’s important not to focus on the red, yellow, and knock-down try.
Dont forget 1) the two clear Welsh infringements on either side of Kellaway’s highball…that were ignored or overridden because the player was in the best position to take the ball (Kellaway) was pinged… because the refs again, made a subjective decision based on a grey interpretation.
2) Falou F broke from that attacking maul, was tackled firstly by offside players then jumped on by two more Welsh players who just laid on him….he’s clearly broken from the maul yet the ref called a ball to Wales like it was still a maul.
3) Skelton destroyed that Welsh ruck and got pinged for going off his feet…even if he did, the Welsh had knocked that on twice already.
The Aussie winger called for going off his feet at an attacking ruck early on…yet Wales spent the last 2 minutes going off their feet much more deliberately and significantly.
4) The 3 Welsh forward passes let go…..
Points 1,2 & 3 were in great attacking opportunities.
People can cope with a few bad calls and ‘cards that have to be given’….but all together in one game…blood boiling. EXCUSE THE FORMATTING – SOMETHING IS UP WITH MY MAC
ANALYSIS: Give the ref a propeller hat, thank Kurtley for the memories and fix this blight on the game
You speak like being reductive is a bad thing? I’d suggest it’s a great way to demonstrate exactly how busted the current process is.
'Is there any accountability?': Everything Rennie said as he savaged refs group over 'massive decisions'
Just when the laws of rugby couldn’t get any more subjective….an ‘unnatural arm position’ and ‘eye movement’ is what we are using to give out yellow cards. What a time to be alive.

Is there somewhere in the laws about where players look while tackling? If so, good good.

WLR’s was an intercept attempt, wasn’t it?

Remember that Melb Rebels tour a few years back when the penalty count over two games was 41-5 or something? Their opening game was 21-1 from memory in a game they were running rings around the SA side.

In 10 minutes on the pitch, he gave away a schoolboy penalty which gave away our lead. This is magnified by the game situation. I’m not sure how, or why, you can defend that.
Your comparison to Banks isn’t remotely equal.

So lets put it another way.
If a winger came on with 10 to go, took a highball with no problem but then a few minutes later dropped an easy pass two meters out from an open try line….and if that score would have put us in front with 1 minute to go….I reckon we’d say he had a shocker.
Simmons was called to pull out by the ref in a zone and match situation that requires cool heads…he ignored the ref and kept playing for the ball…absolute shocker.

Joe Roff 2003 against Argentina. Appalling game.

Izzy cant kick…wow that myth keeps coming back doesn’t it.

Massive over statement.
Yes the Stormers were the stronger scrum but to say the Brumbies ‘were on skates bar one’ is an exaggeration.
There were moved back a bit on just about every contest but were really only dominated once.
Weaker? Yes
Skates? No

Wow.
I’m not sure how to reply other than wow.

Are the ARU really just going to ignore the infamous second text?
Yes they are unless more evidence is presented…….
Now. Can we please just get on with it. There’s a game tonight.
Move on.

Ha – fair point.
Balanced in my view…

Him not handling a few situations to the approval of certain sections of the pathetically factional rugby media and public puts him in the same cart as KB?

Ben – thats actually quite funny.
The definitive guide to who does what in the Wallabies
Pots has played for the boks already hasnt he?
Douglas has gone OS.
Problem we have right now is the blokes dont have a work rate on a consistent basis. Our two props have been more effective around the park than just about everyone else….that says a lot about either the conditioning, attitude or will of the rest of the pack…bar maybe hooper.
McKenzie's man-management chaos
Agree – blokes in the pack have simply lost their work rate. Whats happened to Fardy? He used to be everywhere….

If that Latu clear out is a yellow card….I think we have a bigger problem in the game.
