Paisami was great. Should be kept at 12 for next test

ANALYSIS: Quade will turn to Sonny Bill on the long road back, McReight proves Rennie right, Hodge's defining moment

Remember Israel Folau?

Embarrassingly easy Nic White try sums up another ugly night for the Tahs

Good on you Blinky.
I’m not feeling generous.
NSW should be the Premier rugby state but great young players have been hung out to dry by the lack of intelligent selections.
What’s with the two Kiwi locks?
If you’re going to import they should add something special,
One’s a newbie so we’re giving him development and the other struggled to make his way in NZ so we’re giving him a lifeline.
We needed some top buys to put experience and knowledge into the squad.
Did Penney want a team so young and inexperienced?
I don’t get it. We’re predictably getting monstered.
NSW with a wooden spoon is disgraceful.

He called lineouts when Simmons went off.
He’s not slow and he’s consistently played 80.

Ned Hanigan returns as Dave Rennie makes four changes to Wallabies team for Bledisloe 2

Poor at the start, flogged both the Reds and the Brumbies in the second half of that comp.
Started with new coach and more newbies than the Wallabies.

Samu is only 185 and 104kg.
Hanigan is 194 and 110kg.
Give him a go.
Give Rennie a go!

He didn’t play Wallabies in 2019.
He’s 110 kg now.
In 2017 he was 104kg.
Give him ago

He’s been great this year.
He’ll do well.

Some of the atheist anti Christians who think they should dominate rugby because the ARU is now ‘woke’, should go to You Tube and listen to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defend his Christian beliefs.
You should be able to speak to your Chistian brliefs which are the basis of western thought, ethics and morality.
If you have rejected our traditions you are still allowed to speak.
Give Izzy Folau and Tyson Fury the same rights.
Gays aren’t so precious they can’t hear words that mention them in the Bible
I really miss Izzy. He is always beautiful to watch.
He made a huge contribution to rugby before being cast out by bigots, some of whom hated him for being a bloody Waratah!

Shadow of Folau obscures signs of rugby's revival in Australia

I gave up on the Roar for two seasons because it is so full of PC types who seem to want to get rid of players as if they aren’t real people, putting themselves on the line week after week.
It isn’t PC to have full contact sports so unless people with PC priorities are excluded, Rugby has no future.
So what of Reece Hodge’s front on tackle?
Dangerous. Front on tackles are dangerous. Especially for the tackler. (George Gregan had great technique.)
But they are legal.
Rules can’t influence mistakes. They can influence technique ….bluntly. Look at the sizes of the big blokes in rugby then look at Genia. The little guys have to be tough.
Intent is what cards should be about. And there should be fewer of them. Accidents will keep happening.
Red cards should be reserved for thuggery and all serious questions decided after the match.
Let’s get on with the game.
It’s skilful and it’s tough. That’s why I like it.

Did Reece Hodge deserve at least a yellow card for this tackle?
