What are they doing at training? With so many injuries, there needs to be a review of the training methods and if there is a way to reduce the injury rate. How does the WBs training injury rate compare with that of other nations? Cheers.

Look Chook, not bugie smugglers but advocado smugglers. The price of avos is high where Carlos is. 😂 😂 😂
The Thursday Two-up: Recalibrate, reset, or full steam ahead?
Morsie, I have also mulled as to how Tom would fair at 10 and for that matter Kellaway too. Do we next week play Hodge at 15 and Tom at 10? It’s a nice bonus to have Hodges in the 15 to boot us out of our half. Cheers.

AUS vs. ARG studs and duds: Star who's 'changing the game', McReight's leap forward, Wallabies 'horrendous' flaw
Dusty10, maybe we try Wright at 10 and Hodge at 15 for the next game. They can be switched around at any time during the game if it’s not working. Cheers
ANALYSIS: Quade will turn to Sonny Bill on the long road back, McReight proves Rennie right, Hodge's defining moment
Nonu did not have fine wispy hair and was not that long so the problem would never occur.

Ttmk, did I really say penalised a player for having long hair? Read what I wrote. I have no problem with anyone having long hair but they have to take the responsibillity to securely tie it back so that it does not become an issue in the play with the result that innocent players who tackle them get their fingers unintensionally caught in their loose locks and get carded. The only way to police this is to make the long haired player secure and tie it back. If it becomes undone and an issue in the play, then they get penalized. There are many players with long hair but they manage to keep it out of hairs play. This particular player 2 games running ( at least ) let their hair get loose. Wear a helmet, tie a knot, use hair bands, use gaffa tape, hair net etc. Cheers

DA, Greatly amusing – love it. Can’t wait for the next installment! Did you understudy Dr Frankenstein? 😛

Oz, is there not a rule around long hair being tied back and players sent off to fix it if not? It should be a penalty awarded to the other side if the hair is loose and gets caught in the fingers of the opposition if not tied back. It was a ridiculous situation that Oz was penalised and carded for something totally out of their control. Anyone know if there is the law regarding long hair? Cheers.

Let’s use the calender.
Mid year – July/ Aug.
End year tours Nov/Dec
Comprende?
This way there should be no confusion. Cheers, 😊 😊 😊
Who makes the winter series XV?
One of the problems with comparing DR and Eddie is that, Eddie has more money and more cattle to select from.
I worry about our selection for the games against the Argies particularly without SK.
Who is available coming back off the injured list? For our backline, who will play Jordan should be back to play FB. But who will play 12 is the big question. Hunter is a bash the ball up agent. He has not improved his passing/distribution or kicking. So not my choice to play 12? Maybe Hodge will play 12? As far as I know Quade is available otherwise all is lost. Need RA to bring extra punch into the forwards. Ball retention and security needs improvement. Need secure lineouts for attacking platforms and at least hold our own in the scrums. Hopefully TT is fitter and not as rusty and can contribute more. But most of all stop giving away stupid penalties.
Rennie’s Rugby Championship challenge: To reach levels his players aren’t sure they have
PK, I agree. Quade has the tacticle nouse and can change the stratagy as needed. But you need someone else but Hooper leading the pack. Unfortunately as pointed out there is no one secure enough in their position other than Hooper otherwise my pick would be Phillips in the current team. I remember Kieran Read, at the death in a match with NZ behind, get his team together, hatch a plan with a short kick off, him getting the ball and then it was all NZ for a try to win the game. Unfortunately I can’t remember all the details but I’m sure someone on the roar can supply them. That was inspirational leadership. Wish we had that. Cheers.
Hooper is brave and elite, and changing a captain is momentous, but it's a risk worth taking
Tez, good to see you have Richie at 10 his positional play and reading of the game is better than BB. When he came on the ABs started seeing some good flat passing out wide, some vision. One pass was spilled which would have been a certain try if held. BB just did not cut it. I think he has lost a little acceleration. I don’t blame Richie for signing to go to Japan particularlly as they see him unjustly as a second string fill in for BB. Cheers.

Wallabies DIY player ratings from the 2nd England Test: The Wright stuff and a tough night for JOC
DNZ, so they did not adapt to diversity last week????. It was more that they were complacent this week in the first half. Cheers.
REACTION: Perese and Petaia join Wallabies' devastating injury list as Eddie's England level series
Yes, I agree. We missed Hodge’s boot to get us out of our half. JC did us no favours, just squandered our opportunitues. We did ourselves no favours with the lack of discipline, giving away that many penalities. We lost the contact contest and let the poms turn us over as if at will at times. We need to learn to let the ball go and get turned over rather than hold onto it and get penalised. Many a time being turned over is much less of a disadvantage than being penalised. We lost the edge today and were inept. A lot to do and improve before next week.
The ABs storey is much the same as the WBs. Cheers.

You need a champion team not a team made up of x factor inderviduals.
Wallabies CONFIRMED: Kellaway and Ikitau OUT, Petaia at 15, Frost set for debut, Taniela returns, Suli kept waiting
And, I think he has been a game breaker at least once in the past but haven’t got that occasion under my thumb right now. Cheers

terrence, Wright is a great talent but has always spoilt it with doing some daft things. This year, I think he has matured, cleaned up his act and has been playing well for the Ponies so deserves a shot. It is so easy to sometimes to see people as they were and not see that they have changed and grown. Sometimes, we have unreasonable high expectations of someone and because they are not rising to our expectations quickly enough, we dissmiss them and fail to see the slow growth. Cheers.

Peter K, I agree but I also think we are very luck this year as we are starting to build the depth and now have valid choices of several players that can fill the role in many positions in the backline and back row. At number 10, we need Tane Edmen brought into consideration as we need the extra cover for injuries particularlly with 2 older 10s in the line up. Maybe some not top line yet but developing well and their exposure to test rugby all augers well for next year. As for 2nd rowers, we will be ok once we are able to call freely on the overseas players next year. Meanwhile we are constrained to a small but talanted group. Where we are exposed is props, as quickly showed with TT and AAA out though thank god for Slipper and his versility. What a performance, Skipper needs to be applauded. Cheers.

JF Force Fan. Who were the 3 with concussion? There are some in the team who are a bit gung ho and dont protect themselves and have bad tackel technique. Cheers.
