Should have been more Reds tbh.

Five burning questions: How many Tahs and Force players will end up in gold, and is this farewell Melbourne?

Yeah i remember that tour. I was 10 and remember watching it on the ABC with commentator Gordon Bray going apeshit when Ella scored a try in each match.
Andy and Tommy Lawton and co yes i remember them. Tom was a Souths Magpie too.

'He's ready': Campbell backs teammate for gold as fullback mounts own selection and contract extension case

Hey BF. I ran into Dan Crowley at Dan Murphys Springwood a couple of weeks ago. ( He was already a legend when i played Colts at Souths )

I always knew he was a little dude as i towered over him. Technique made him a mainstay in two rugby world cup wins. He was about 98/ 100kg playing weight then. I pointed him out to my partner and i whispered ” See that man over there, he was a prop for the Wallabies and two times Rugby World cup winner.”

She said ” that little guy, same position like Taniela? ”
I replied “yep”
It was awhile ago and he had obviously gotten smaller, but when he played he was strong as an ox took no prisoners and played way above his weight with a great props technique.

Ryan Smith is a champion. A wallaby must have. He is a genuine lock who plays like an extra backrower.
I agree with you. There is no need for big guys just because they are big. Props excluded of course.
They have to be good also.

Thump the Tahs with a bonus point and you should get there.

How an Argentine prop playing 10,000 miles away ended up taking an SOS to solve Tahs' crisis

Character wont win you games. A game plan is needed also.

Force will make the finals.

Yeah Eddie punted Wilson and Ikitau for the 2023 RWC. Good decision by him i reckon 😂

Reds' title hopes cop huge blow as Wallaby hopeful ruled out for the rest of Super season

The kid is smart.Has that rugby nous that you cant teach and is so important in a rugby player.He’d be first picked wing for the Wallabies as he can play left or right wing.

'Perhaps it's surgery': Reds win ugly over Rebels to keep top four hopes alive as big-name Wallabies forced off

Oh dear bad luck for HJH. The QLD premier rugby clubs have 4 or 5 good props running around.
Give them a call. Forget Shute Shield props they are not up to it.

Brumbies beat Waratahs in monsoonal conditions as injury toll goes from bad to worse

Doubt it, the other fella wears a light blue jersey.

Exclusive: Wallabies star turns down mega deal overseas to re-sign with Queensland Reds

Christy it`s May 1st not April 1st. Is this a prank played by Coleman? $1.1 kid million playing for Randwick. Waaaaaaaaaaaat?? I don`t believe it.

Jorgensen set to be left out for Hurricanes as Schmidt drops in at Tahs training

2021 Rugby championship was the only time since the 2015 RWC the Wallabies punched above their weight to be honest.

Super Rugby shows that the Bledisloe Cup isn't going anywhere - one selection could give the Wallabies hope

Correct, just like Max Jorgenson is not ready for test rugby.

Five things: What Beale has over other golden oldies, double pain for Brumbies as Blues expose Australia's biggest weakness

Apart from Quade and Kerevi ( 2021) Gitaeu 2015, no other players from o/s selected under the Gitaeu rule have performed.

Scrap the Giteau Law: Rugby Australia should look to Rassie's 'Boks RWC recipe if it wants to re-join the big boys' table

The Wallabies had already fallen apart before the RWC cup with Skelton.

Will Skelton has not made a difference to Wallabies winning. Actually, the Wallabies are worse with him.

So the Arnolds were picked for mauls only huh?. That is because that is only skill they are good at. Other players in the pack had to make up for their lack of other skills.

The Wallabies would kill for a 110 kilo powerful and quick Wendell Sailor on the wing right now.

Rooster must remodel: Angus Crichton says he'd want to 'dominate' in rugby union - this is what he'd have to change

Big difference with those 3. Elsom and Palu were reserve graders in the NRL. Barnes was first choice at Broncos under Wayne Bennett or close to it. Bennett was not happy when Barnes left.

The Tahs don`t do specialist locks, they prefer Tweeners, that really never works unless the Tweener is a great lock ,6 /Hybrid. Woki Lawes S Barrett Mostert Itoje. The Tahs don`t have anyone of that class to be using as Tweeners. Tahs need to buy two specialist locks ASAP.

Super Rugby teams round 8: Tahs drop Marky Mark, Kellaway returns for Rebels, HMP replaces Lynagh

He is part of the issue that cannot be fixed. The Tahs have a woeful squad of players, they are just shuffling the deckchairs with Mark N.

Why should we care about Nawaqanitawase now. ( The Wallaby and Tah supporters ) ?
He doesn`t care about Union or Wallabies or Waratahs anymore. He is a league person now as far as i`m concerned.

He has denigrated the Wallaby jersey after being gifted one. He does not deserve the privilege to play any representative rugby this year. It`s time to move on now. Dropping him was a great move, it shows DC is man of conviction at least and he will not be swayed by the Sycophantic Sydney rugby media who worship Mark Nawaqanitawase..

Maybe the Tahs inside backs have checked out. Gordon Edmed Foketi Pereses Walton etc etc. Or they were never checked in.

Not one Tah is test standard.Not one.
Absolutely shocking squad of players.
