Handshake approval from Hamish probably.

'Everything was approved': Eddie hits back at $2.6m RWC budget blow-out, says Wallabies can build team around young gun

That’s interesting to know because it looked shocking for TV audiences seeing an empty stand and 2 empty ends. Cant imagine there were too many in the main stand either.

'I'm proud': $1.2m man Tupou stars to help Rebels claim second win overseas since 2019, Uelese's best match

I watched the least amount of pro rugby in my entire life this year, even during a World Cup. As an aside though, the professional side of Aus rugby is so diabolical I spent a lot more time watching club rugby. Bonus in disguise?

'Evolution for the game': McLennan hails Nations Cup, World Cup expansion as 'massive win' for Australia

McLennan seems like a complete tool but the threat of AFL and NRL taking viewership is real.

'It will kill rugby': Minnows feel shafted as World Rugby hails 'historic' revamp with exclusive Nations Championship

Glen Ella, 23, Larkham went to 10 at 23, Berrick Barnes 21ish, Quade in at 22. Our current 10’s aren’t too young they just aren’t good enough.

Kurtley Beale returns, Arnold departs as Rennie names Wallabies squad for Bledisloe Cup

Cullen was 20 years ago and the game has definitely moved on, everyone is bigger across the board. Cheslin is a special player by any standard and jock is not in that class. All that said, I agree it isn’t the only factor and he’s is definitely next in line, just don’t expect miracles.

REACTION: Perese and Petaia join Wallabies' devastating injury list as Eddie's England level series

He’s got all the skills but he’s 10kg too light to really nail it tbh.

Probably because people like you use it as ammunition to tear the game apart.

REACTION: 'Hallmark of a complete side' - Brumbies give Drua a Super Rugby lesson

Positioning has always been the bane of league converts. They can definitely run and not afraid to tackle but without being in the right spot its hard to put those skills to best use. Going high and trying to wrap the ball up isn’t as useful in Union either.

REACTION: 'He's proved me wrong' - 'Electric' RTS stars, but Hurricanes' last-gasp comeback steals the show

They will spend some time in youth detention bragging about their exploits. Then because certain people preach rehabilitiation over punishment they will carry on with their lives while the victims relive their terrors nightly.

'There was blood everywhere, it was horrific': Toutai Kefu relives home machete attack

wre01 is 7ft tall and 160kg, bell is scrawny 😂

MATCH REPORT: Kellaway hat trick helps Wallabies close Rugby Championship on a high

He’s one of the few players we have that seems to relish contact. If he keeps his head and stays on the ref’s good side, he’ll be a valuable asset.

Wallabies bring in the changes, but is it the right call?

He managed to keep up some seriously good standards through some diabolical times at the Reds, lots of respect for the man.

Super Rugby retrospectives: Chris Latham

Former Waratah fails to punch two opponents in the face during Pro14 match.

Rugby or boxing? Former Waratah punches two opponents in the face during Pro14 match

faaaaark, thats smacks of complacency.

Stuart Hogg butchers certain try in Six Nations loss to Ireland

I think you’re both saying the same thing ???? So many people these days are spoiling for an argument (or debate for the more civil of you) reading comprehension flies out the window.

The Waratahs are back – Newcastle, it’s on you to show up

First sentence yes, the rest is dross. England played excellent tactical rugby. NZ didn’t choke, they were simply squeezed out by a very clinical team that they rarely play for some reason.

All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup

Do you see the irony in this Johnny?

Michael Cheika's emotional reaction as the Wallabies bow out of the World Cup

We were losing with your poster boy too, it goes way deeper than one player.

England eliminate Wallabies in World Cup quarter-final

I think Hodge got it wrong and deserved some time in the naughty corner. However, for it to have the same suspension as what the 2 samoan boys got is crazy.

Reece Hodge ban highlights rugby's farcical judicial process

Every comp I’ve ever played in, Rugby, touch, oz tag all of that, if you haven’t played enough regular season games (~5) you can’t take the field in finals. Not the individual players fault but the rules allowing it.

Shute Shield never asked for Nick Phipps

Well, it’s to be expected, they’re basically a national team 😉

Crusaders fight past Jaguares to make it three straight Super Rugby titles

People are just getting in their excuses early, in case the Jags do manage to win the comp.

I’m happy they’re playing well but haven’t won anything yet and are not so dominant to suggest they shouldn’t be in the super comp.

In a few years time if they have gone multiple seasons undefeated we can talk about it, but until then it’s play on!

Six talking points from Super Rugby Round 17

Good to hear the kiwi commentators condemn that.

Quade Cooper booed as he enters the cauldron as Rebels lose spectacularly

Holloway clearly turns his head to look and follows through with the elbow to the face anyway. Red all day, everyday.

Red carding Waratah Jed Holloway was rubbish rugby
