My feeling about “the voice”, gender and race issues is they are causing more division ,not unifying us. I hope one day we can all get on the same page and create a great future.

Rugby News: Ex-PM says RA has succumbed to 'moral blackmail' after 'regrettable' Voice stance revealed

Just watched replay of Australia’s dismissals, they certainly have some work to do in regards to playing spin, playing on the crease with lbws and some playing too far away from their bodies. I hope they can turn it around and be competitive.

Spin bolter a 'live chance' to play, Head set to replace Warner as Cummins defends controversial selections

Can’t believe the non selection of Travis Head

'Bowled an absolute buffet': Hayden slams 'rubbish' Cummins as Rohit, Jadeja take Aussies to the cleaners

Great article Christy, I think a lot of us have been thinking this for a long time.

'I sat there bewildered': High Performance guru on the tricks RA missed - and how they must fix the game

Totally agree, I have felt the 10’s haven’t been given the opportunity to attack more.

The Wrap: Resurgent Wallabies lay down a marker for the World Cup’s 'group of life'

No, he is not needed.Maybe the players we have are not being given a free rein to attack more?

Bring back Beale: Tahs veteran the key to fixing Wallabies' astounding lack of attacking variety

Agree, like your team, we really need to encourage Noah and Donaldson and put some faith in them. Campbell was quite impressive. There are positives there, Frost has a big future, Skelton of the bench,and Slipper seems to be a good leader.

Studs and duds: 'Everyone's bagging Foley', Jockyll and Hyde Campbell, TT's best of 2022, sub's 'cringe' effort

Thanks for the article Peter, Michael O’Conner has always been my favourite League player, I was a bit young to see his union career but have seen highlights since. Loved how he would hold the ball out in front , keep them guessing and such a great step.

Is Michael O'Connor the greatest dual international?

I wish Hooper would take the 3 points more often, especially when the new hooker has just come on and does struggle at times with his lineout throws

AUS vs. ENG studs and duds: JOC's 'stinker', Wallabies 'failure of leadership', Pom who 'carried like a monster'

Hardly pessimistic, if farmers continue to plant crops every year, not knowing what the weather will bring for that year.

Is the Australian cricket team becoming dangerously arrogant again?

Players need to take some responsibility there. In the Sydney test,they bowled 131 overs in Indias 2nd innings and took 5 wickets. Nathan Lyon took 2 wickets for the match.

'Sticking up for my mates': Cummins explains why he wanted JL gone in brutally honest statement

Agree, disrespectful to Wallabies, who played well

SA View: 'Robotic' and 'flaccid' Springboks make Wallabies look like 'world beaters'

Really like this team, no doubt SA will be much better this weekend, hopefully we can string 2 good games together.

JOC stays on ice as Wallabies team named for second Springbok showdown

like it

Cricket’s shift from ‘batsman’ to ‘batter’ is the right one

Complaining your a victim, never helps.I hope the players can stay strong and not fall into this victimhood.

The Wallabies didn't lose because of Romain Poite, but World Rugby, we do have a problem

Great article Allanthus

The Wrap: Hansen plots a conventional path with All Blacks squad

Thanks Spiro , I like your idea of an outside selector.

SPIRO: Let the 2015 RWC mind games begin!

I believe Cheika has taken unnecessary risk. I see 2 main weaknesses at the moment , the lineout and goalkicking. I would have chosen White for the extra things he brings , long range goalkicking which could be invaluable in tight matches at the cup. I hope he chooses 3 jumping options in the lineout , 2 as at Eden Park is too easy to defend against. England and Wales will just kick to the corners at then pressure our lineout. The team is chosen , I don’t necessarily agree with some of the selections but good luck Wallabies , fight to the end and Australia will be supporting you.

Is Michael Cheika fearless or reckless?

Agree Crusty, lack of options in the lineout with resulting loses in the lineout put wallabies on the back foot and the scrum didn’t fare as well as in Sydney putting pressure on halves.

Quade Cooper has a shocker as All Blacks hammer the Wallabies

I thought the Hurricanes defence was outstanding last night especially in the third quarter when the waratahs had phase after phase in their half and then took their oportunities in attack.I agree Dennis and Palu had good games.Does anyone know how these ARU contracts work?For the Waratahs to have 11 players in the wallaby squad some of these players must have existing contracts so they are obliged to pick these players to stay in budget and any money they have left over can be used to blood new players.

Weather woeful, Waratahs worse
