Same ref, different tackle , different number off tacklers. Apart from that ….
REACTION: Hoops wants rival to 'miss some weeks' after 'brain fart' red card helps Tahs to stirring win
Really interesting article, huge X factor , well done.
Explain to me why the All Blacks' 13 jersey is a done deal?
You didn’t , I did.
Loss of Tupou is an opportunity for the Queensland Reds to show grit
Hmm, I agree with what you say but I think he may be more of a good super player rather than a first rank test player . Be interesting to watch .

Im not down on him , just as I wasn’t seeing him as a second coming but apart from a couple of games where he seemed pretty comfortable and taking the ball quite flat he seems to be set pretty deep now most the time and his only options seem to be pass or kick . Maybe its a team thing , I don’t know enough about it ,but I don’t really recall him actually owning a game as one of the key positions in a team needs to .

I was interested to watch Creighton as I hadn’t watched last weeks game and just read about how poor he was, I thought for 2 ? games in he played really well , The 10 who I think offers very little is Lolesio, I don’t think he’s grown at all .

Shag Hansen, oh sorry , I thought you said disengenuous.
I don’t think Thorn is ready as a HC of then Wallabies at the moment ,but , Im not sure Aus has anyone apart from Rennie who is at the moment either.
I’m not sure that Aussies should really trot out eloquence as a reason not to select anyone.
Rugby News: Thorn declares interest in battling McKellar for Wallabies top job but gets a big reality check
In relation to Thorne , Ive often wondered with the reds under him, how, all though they had a slow start and there was also issues with some players , how much of that was him applying his personal training ethics and requirements for individual improvement , was it because of his All Black/Canterbury years that he has started to create a Aus team that in many ways is a replication of his background. Im sort of putting it badly but are the Reds in someways a replication of a NZ Super team?
Should the Brumbies be alert or alarmed after a Reds redemption?
Na , they are still concentrating on just having one.

I actually think it’s the other way , make a decision quickly and carry on , the longer they dilly dally the more time for more experts to get involved.
I find it interesting that in a lot of cases , especially clean outs , there is quite often someone doing something illegal and an opposing player comes in and makes it worse. In Slippers case , why wasn’t he also dealt with , whether by a penalty, or warning or if repeat , yellow card . It seems to be a hang up from the days of the biff on the paddock , he who retaliated took the biggest penalty but nowadays they don’t deal with the instigator.
If the refs applied the Laws and the remedies , that they already have at their disposal, a lot of this stuff would stop.
Rugbys a simple game , it should be kept that way.
Crackdown? High tackle cards nothing new and are a failure of coaches and players, not the refs
Im wondering if 20 minutes isn’t quite long enough and/or the stand down period afterwards isn’t long enough . I guess my thoughts are if we are seeing more rather than less red cards, either there is a lack of consistency on judgement by referees, which appears partially accurate , and or players/coaches aren’t taking the warnings seriously enough .
I haven’t necessarily got a problem if the judiciary finds that the referee in fact got it wrong on the paddock but by the same token they should back them with their stand down period when they are right.
The Wrap: Betting it all on Red and the rise of the Waratahs
I’m guessing that this mob wouldn’t sweep the changing room after a game. For professional players and professional managers I can see why things aren’t necessarily working so well for them this year , so far.
Kiwi Super Rugby team boss admits players ignored cabin crew's mask orders
Only if he reviewed his tapes.
For all that, I can understand the thinking , be interesting to hear our South American contributors views.
Cheika to take over Argentina head coaching role for World Cup campaign
Yes , you’re right . My keyboard struggles with spelling and grammar, must get a gooder one.
Why Michael Hooper should have been World Rugby's player of the year
Aaah , the perils of a dyslecsic keyboard with punctuation issues . Apart from that , bollocks.
Rennie takes blame for Wallaby failings
Nick , do you know who supplies the best non spill, non shatter wine glasses for some reason I have been going through a few whilst watching the Wobblies . To be fair this has been going on for some considerable time.
Could also be a great side hustle for RA, could generate another income stream for them.
cheers
Get your questions in for Issue 35 of Coach's Corner
Based on your point re warning prior to yellow , should there be warnings before red card? The answer is no , the ref should enforce the laws ,there is nothing in them re decision by warning first . I thought it was a great call, crime committed and punished.
'Is there any accountability?': Everything Rennie said as he savaged refs group over 'massive decisions'
The Abs top 2 inches has /is now being negated by other teams equal or superior fitness/technical/skills , as you say ,for quite some time the ABs have won mostly with inferior stats. Self belief used to keep many teams out of real contention , not so much now.
I think also look at the Board and their decision making ,Inios, Private Capital, coach selection, spats with other countries and I think you’ll find the issue is entrenched , arrogance of belief that supersedes actual development.
Oh well , go the chocolate soldiers, sigh….
The All Blacks' issues are neither tactics nor selection, it's a whole lot worse
Did you see anything that Skelton offered?
ANALYSIS: So little time to fix so many holes with RWC 2023 rushing at the Wallabies
Do you not think just because he’s a son of someone who was really good may not be the reason why he needs to be given all rights? Thats why the Au rugby struggles ,FFS.

White is entitled to go for the ball and the player on the ground hasn’t done 1 of the 3 things he’s allowed to, so my reckoning still a penalty.
You aren't imagining it... proof the Wallabies were hard done by
Yep , I see what your saying but I’m pretty sure Law 13 covers this . Player didn’t release , play or get to his feet so it’s a penalty .Thoughts?

One knee only required for a tackle so its not a maul its a ruck . Given that he’d penalised Paisami for a lot less not quite sure why you think its different.

Sorry , you are right , if you lift someone up so their head is facing downwards and drop them , they usually land on the same parts. Do you think he will use that as a defence? I can’t see any weakness in that approach, oops ,hold on ,he was the only person doing the lifting.
