It's been an exciting season for women's rugby.
Keen to see Hoops get a run, as I’m sure he is too. Still think it will be a challenge for him to make the final Olympics squad but good on him for giving it a crack.

Same – just don’t play well against the Tahs
'Hang on': Forgotten Wallaby tipped for big year as Wright reveals 'biggest work-on'
Yep – no idea if he is a Joe style of player but will still enjoy watching him play in Super Rugby as long as it isn’t against the Tahs
'Hang on': Forgotten Wallaby tipped for big year as Wright reveals 'biggest work-on'
Have been a Wright fan since he came over from the Sea Eagles. He is a natural footballer. Yep a few brain explosions but I enjoy watching him play. Sure there are times I say why, why, why. But it is the creativity which is why I watch rugby.

Must admit I also worry about his durability.

Just keen to see who Joe selects for the Wallabies.

The Force really showed something against the Reds, they have recruited well and have a couple quality youngsters in the halves.

Tahs sure put down a marker and a half. Tahs looking good.

I would prefer giving DC 12 months than Gilmore a couple of years. Also think while I will always love Whits, we need a change.
Deja vu for Tane as Drua deliver another heart-breaker to under fire Coleman
But think he is a bit of an RA fav.

It’s hard being a Tahs fan after a loss like that – drop goal hits the posts. Tough season. If DC does get the heave ho, it would not be the right decision to give it to Jason Gilmore, even though he appears to be an RA fav. He hasn’t demonstrated much over the last couple of years, needs to head overseas for a few years.

Yep, don’t seem to have seen anything from Whits. His brother Tom doing well coaching surfers on WSL WCT
Set up to fail: The gaping hole in Aussie Super Rugby coaching CVs - with one clear exception
Good article. I do wonder with DC whether he had much say in his assistants, I think he only brought on board Pauli Taumoepeau, Whits & Gilmore already there. Probably partly a financial decision for NSW Rugby. Les Kiss selected a couple of very experienced coaches.

Agree. Unfortunately, without any insight or information, gut feeling there is no funds to do home & away. RA must be stressing over a lot of things at the moment. I think the original plans when PE $ was coming in the Wallaroo were to be F/T professional for next years World Cup.

It is but a couple injuries. Chancellor out for a year, Annabelle Codey out for regular season with finger injury, Adiana Talakai is out with possibly an ACL.
Super Rugby Women’s week two teams: Chancellor out for season, blockbuster Saturday looms as Force unveil international bench
I’m sure there will be some tie up with Aupiki at some stage. Apart from the fact the Kiwis would belt the Oz teams, I would say the issue at the moment is RA being unable to fund more games ie travel etc. In the short term would like just a bit of a play off between the top 2 from OZ & top 2 from Aupiki. And yep the men will also feel mighty sore post match.

Excellent read, was keen to get a perspective on the Joe philosophy.
Joe Schmidt's search for a 'cold-hearted bastard' - and the issue he'll lose most sleep over
For info, Atasi Lafai is starting for Waratahs instead of Annabella Codey, the Tahs team list on RA website was incorrect. It has been corrected now.
Super Rugby Women’s week two teams: Chancellor out for season, blockbuster Saturday looms as Force unveil international bench
It’s just week 1 & the Fijian Drua ladies are a mighty good team. So hang in there. Next week’s Reds against the Force will be interesting.
Drua launch three-peat bid by overpowering Reds, Piper Duck leads Tahs redemption romp
Yep think it is a double header. It is going to a terrific but probably brutal experience for both teams.

Yes, Rebels have done a lot in Melb/Victoria developing grassroots. Mostly without much RA assistance. With no Rebels team it makes developing grassroots even more challenging. It’s all very disappointing.

It is a real indictment on the administration of both the Rebels & RA.

I heard Cameron Smith talking about the Academy recently sounds like a great set up.

Drua look pretty imposing & will only get better as they spend more time together. This weekend will be interesting Fiji v Tahs in Fiji.

Yes heard Michaela Leonard chatting on the The Rugby Wrap pod a couple of weeks ago, she is a terrific interview.
