It is not a Cumberland throw. Not even close. McDermott wraps his legs around Lonergan using his body weight across Lonergans legs to bring him down.
If it wasn’t illegal what was the penalty restart of play for.
'It was brutal': Clutch Lolesio kicks Brumbies to 'Test match intensity' win over Reds as Wright shines again
Fantastic signing by the Force. The ability and experience to really help develop a young Force squad.
A big man with an equally big motor who does the hard stuff. Welcome back Sam.
'Ready to go': Force sign ex-Wallabies lock in Super Rugby mid-year boost
“Could it be that players reverted to “club rugby heroics” because they are being coached by a club rugby coach? That is not meant to be cruel, Cron is the definition of the ‘Man in the Arena.’ He’s toiling, he’s getting up off the canvas again and again.
But was Cron really ready”
If your going to put aspersions like this out into the public arena at least you can do is own them.
Reds' 'unbelievable, unfathomable' double disaster sums up shocker as Force spring stunning upset
The article about Simon Cron being a “club coach “ hasn’t aged very well.

Obviously editing your comments after I have replied makes you feel clever.
I certainly won’t be bothering with your comments in future as they add nothing of substance to any discussion.
Super Rugby teams: Tupou benched, Jorgo back for Fiji trip, Petaia sidelined, Swain surprise
No answers no discussion no links. Just your opinion given which should be accepted by everyone and then they should shut up according to you.
Bleat is an interesting choice of words but certainly suits you.

I have not seen any attempt at explaining how a repeat offender has received half the sentence at the judiciary given to another player for the same offence.
Happy for you to provide the links.

Glad you saw fit to comment without offering anything in response to the question.
Super Rugby teams: Tupou benched, Jorgo back for Fiji trip, Petaia sidelined, Swain surprise
Can anyone explain how Jordie Barrett is back on the park whilst Pearce remains suspended for another week.
Sanzar judiciary and officials and their inconsistency seemingly is only consistent in favouring the select few individuals and teams.

Stopped the opposition from putting on pressure deep in their red zone near half time helping Australia win a test match.
Absolutely no deficit in that for me.
'Rapidly overtaking me!' Wallaby's classy tribute to the man who replaced him
So both Barrett and the Chiefs player who hit Neville get three weeks. Barrett is a player with prior form for high contact.
I can only assume the inconsistency is a follow on from some of the officiating we have seen in the early games.
Super Rugby teams: Reds trio ruled out after brutal clash, Barrett ban revealed, Wallabies back for Tahs
Let’s see do we rely on the opinion of a keyboard warrior or several Super rugby and international coaches who variously have described White as a “genuine international player” “top international halfback “ and sought to contract him to their teams because of his experience in winning titles such as the English Premiership, Champions cup, Challenge Cup and Super rugby AU. Every team he has played with after his debut year in 2012 has made the semi finals of the respective competitions they were in.
Cron has already spoken about the drive and high standards White brings to the table coupled with his proven success makes him one of the best buys the Force have ever made and saw him included in the leadership group on only just arriving at the Force.
White as judged by analyst like Nic Bishop has one of, if not the best passes of Australian rugby halfbacks and is rated by numerous pundits to have one of the best kicking games in world rugby.
I think I will safely trust the judgement of his peers and coaches.
Season of dream chasing looms as Cron beefs up squad to make the West a Force in Super Rugby
Your personal assessment of White ignores the reality that his previous coach rated him as his no.1 half captaining the side on their run into the finals where White started.
Coincidentally White missed the game against the Force through injury a loss which cost the Brumbies a home semifinal.
White was clearly rated higher at the RWC23 than Fines and we are yet to see where Cron rates White but pretty obvious that seeing the Force pursued him it is not to sit on the bench.
Rennie rated White very highly and was vindicated in Whites performance against France and Ireland on the last Spring tour which was world class against world class opposition.
Pressure Points: Cron has his work cut out to make the west a Force in Super Rugby
Didn’t think the Chiefs didn’t beat the Brumbies at GIO in 2023 and in 2022 the Brumbies beat them at Hamilton.
The Drua did not dominate for 60 mins in 2023 were actually down 19-0 and behind 31-28 at 60 min mark before going down 43-28.
Certainly with a team with as strong a home record as the Brumbies it is disturbing and disappointing that they receive such poor attendances.
Pressure Points: Full throttle still to be found at Larkham's Brumbies, environment set for shake up
Obviously under the new alignment and central control with Jorgensen at the Waratahs, Campbell at Reds, Kellaway at Rebels and Wright at Brumbies Suaalii must be going to the Force as you don’t pay $1.6m per season for a winger.
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
You obviously know little about rugby if you think the play at the RWC for the Wallabies has been off the 9 and even know less given the minutes White played.
Put you in the same class as Doran.
Just keep bagging White and showing your ignorance.
'They're the guys to start with': Eddie tells Carter Gordon to study the greats after World Cup 'ups and downs'
There are 4 players from the French squad of 2019 in the current RWC according to previous comments on the Roar
The continual change of story by the coach and RA has obviously fooled some .
'Keep thinking about that': Eddie's ONE great regret in WC shambles and sliding doors moment that cost QF place
So Radradra is allowed to push a player to the ground with fully extended arms whilst the ball is still in the air. BS.
White had no intention to catch the ball is correct as he is acting as a blocker for Gordon perfectly legal as long as he doesn’t change position to interfere with a chaser.
White also cannot be pushed out of the way by the chaser.
Why didn’t the TMO and Brace review the incident when asked by Porecki the captain before the kick was taken.
The only thing Jones got right was it was the turning point in the game and the officials got it wrong.
'Keep thinking about that': Eddie's ONE great regret in WC shambles and sliding doors moment that cost QF place
All that comment and still fails to mention Radradra pushing White into Gordon’s path with arms fully extended while ball still in the air.
An illegal obstruction which should have resulted in disallowing the subsequent try and a penalty to Australia.

Being delusional is not a good way to start your tenure.
Yes there are pathway and structure issues but 12 months ago we were competitive against the top sides Ireland France and South Africa
Whats changed the coach and the players.
RA 'committed' to Eddie despite 'bitterly disappointing' RWC campaign, in talks with NZR over northern threat
Finally spot on
Eddie Jones' mindless selections are making 'position-less' Wallabies chaos even worse
So McDermott is praised for his leadership and energy.
Watching it looked like he had a lot to do with the decision to go to the corner at 10-6.
Energy may be good but a good pass and kick ( given he ran for bugger all metres) may have served the team better. His decision making was poor against Wales as was his passing and kicking.
White played 50mins against Georgia we won and 60 mins against Fiji where we were flogged at the breakdown had an 18-7 penalty count against us ( 5 penalties to us in-last 15mins ) and lost by 7.
Played 7 mins against Wales and didn’t play against Portugal, McDermott played 70 in both these last games where we performed poorly and is praised for his energy.
Its nice to be one of the favoured few.
WALLABIES REPORT CARD: 'F--k mate, what didn't go wrong?'- Few pass marks and an F for Eddie in Pool C disaster
“No match for the Chiefs”
Bit of an historical rewrite Chiefs only iced the game in the 77 min.
Only a Reds supporter would view that as no match as they view beating a team without 11 starters as a great victory.
'Fall guy': Eddie doubles down on future, makes three changes as Wallabies sweat on RWC miracle
Doran you can’t help yourself when it comes to commenting on White.
You even acknowledge it was an unfortunate bounce on the 18 min that if it went any other way Koribete was either in position to score or at worst force a line drop out so lets chalk that as tried but failed and supported by his coach. Other players try things which fail yet are praised by yourself and rightly so.
Foxsports today put up vision showing White pushed in the back by Fijian with extended arms with the ball still well in the air. Penalty Australia no try Fiji but no somehow you can manage to hold White partly responsible for the Fijian try, either bias or poor eyesight at play.
The penalty or a high shot was correct and rightly given but as the player was falling due to being tackled by others Whites arm came over the shoulder with minimal contact to neck and head. Not a yellow just a penalty unfortunate but can happen. Apparently a player making an effort to cover in defence is now frowned upon. Australia gave up 18 penalties but no comments about the cynical throwing of the ball into a prone Arnold who obviously had not obstructed the Fijian half yet latter with Australia hot on attack outside 22, 2 Fijian block quick ball lying at the back of the Australian ruck gets nothing from Brace one of many inconsistencies in the display by the officials.
Wallabies player ratings: Returning forward fires in Skelton's absence as White and Gordon struggle
Thomas made a couple of good runs breaking the defence early neither resulted in a turnover. Not one of his passes found the grass that I saw which is an improvement on previous games. His passing allowed opportunities for the outside players Paisami in particular and his left to right was wide and quick enough when required. Certainly for a player who has averaged less than 20 mins in nearly 40 games it shows up Reds failure to develop full squad in the past.
