Or pretend it is a test match and take the points. Some captains value points. Worked before half time, didn’t work on the quick tap and the line out. 2nd was really bad we missed out on 3 points, they come back and take 7 points.

MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter

Her comments last week putting McDermott and Smith in the sentence and described both as incredible, should have ensured she wasn’t back this week.

Kellaway's brutal lesson in keeping mouth shut, Ferguson drops truth bomb on To'omua

Matt, I think that test was in Auckland, if it was the test that I can remember, they did not make a mistake in the first half. In the rain basically played dry whether high quality football.

Own the haka, own collisions, own the rolling maul - and 27 other ways to beat the All Blacks

I agree pm, I thought our pack more than held its own especially in tight. We were beaten in other areas, open play and counter attack.

So true Timo!

MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter

I hope Rennie is not telling this team to “be you, do you”, we need them to think about the best chance to win and execute. Pack played but we need to forget this legend of the wallabies running game, we do not have the cattle. Eye test Rennie is doing well. Win Loss record tells a much different story. Players must be coach able, which at times means changing “you”, be what you want to be, do what you want to do, great song but not conducive to winning.

TJ Melbourne club rugby still on or all shut down? Brisbane still going but Sydney all shut down.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Thanks for the banter TJ, understand your comments my original one was about ppl saying that the teams were close. Too old to play any longer, played mainly here in Sydney and 3 yrs in Auckland. I am a wallaby fan and can’t believe the scoreboard. I really think our forwards went very well. Take it easy TJ and stay safe.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Hey TJ do you still think we are close to them????

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Mate you have definitely never played rugby, wa does not count stick to afl. Kellaway scores 3 tries in 2 tests, stay in position, do your job.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

TJ Reece has scored can you please Marika to score?

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Stupid penalty there mate, you know nothing about rugby.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Really? 1 try every 3 tests wow, that would not get you on the wing the wing for the abs, but yes good in general play but can’t play for abs on the wing if you can not score tries. That is the history of all black wingers mate.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

So you think 3 wallabies in the all black 23?. Not much of an argument. Of course it is personal opinion on which player is better. My point was saying the teams are even is a bit if a stretch when very few of our team makes their team. I like try scoring wingers, which Marika is not but provides so much more in other areas.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

All great teams wre01, from a wallabies perspective, the grand slam team had a lot of all time greats as did the 1991 team with eales, campo, poido, etc.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Definitely Moaman. I have been a big fan of Swinton, very interested how he goes. Physical no 6s imo very underrated….would love to have a Willie O in this team.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Partially agree Moaman, which is fine. Not sure if this wallabies team can be or will become a champion team. 30% win rate does not look too great but 40% loss rate is satisfactory, noting the 3 draws from last year. Also looks worse because we have only had difficult tests no freebies. I like the look of Rennie but also am a believer that if you don’t have the cattle very hard for the coach. Early stages all we can do support and give the team time atm.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

I agree Markus, apart from our bench, line speed was a major positive. At 13 we need Hunter leading the line, staying aggressive in defence rather than being passive. The inside need to work harder to support Hunter. Learn to defend at that line speed for a couple of years and we can go into next wc with a bit more confidence.

Welcome back Lachie! Swinton confirmed as Wallabies name their team

I think the easiest way to see how close we are getting is working out how many current wallabies would make the All Black 23. I would think Tupou and maybe Hooper while Sam Caine is out. That is not very close.

Dave Rennie clarifies Andrew Kellaway's All Blacks 'losing their aura' comments

Nick, on the kiwi rugby show on Stan, one of the analysts mentioned that over 50 players have been used by the french this year and how they were building depth for the world cup. If that is the case, that is amazing.

Where would the Wallabies be without Michael Hooper?

Very true Ash, comment based on difference between gamesmanship (widespread) and cheating (more rare).

"Shot by a sniper": Rennie blasts France captain for "milking" in red card incident

Love to see Rugby League international rules and trying to push some of those players to the pacific teams. Imagine the improvement in the tongan team with taukeiaho, frizell, mounga, havili, taniela tupou, ngani laumape, Charles piutau and fekitoa. Work on Israel folau and that young half back playing for the turbos. If the vunipola brothers are are no longer wanted for England too. But only if it does not mean that they lose money from their pay packet. Otherwise keep playing for tier one nations. Same for Samoa and Fiji.

All Blacks a few steps closer to their Bledisloe XV

I agree Jacko, if the opposite team takes sand paper onto a cricket pitch that needs to be called out, if a player gets hit on the chin and takes a dive, maybe not in the spirit, but no need to comment. The wallabies just had one of their best performances in recent times, could have stayed on that.

"Shot by a sniper": Rennie blasts France captain for "milking" in red card incident

The tackle was a classic example of how we were taught in the islands. Put the ball up, go in at 100mph, head, shoulder arms. The faster you go in the less you get hurt. Reminds of a test in tonga in the early 90s, Samoa coming back from a qf in the wc, I didn’t think tonga made that 91 wc. Tongan kids, some still at school (tupou college) against wc quarter finalist. Tongan tactic put it up and see if anyone wants to catch it with 15 Marika Ks charging at you. Schoolboys big score paid professionals little score.

'We owe it to the sport': How and why RA will fight to have Koroibete cleared at judiciary

Whose voice was it that said foul player and no mitigating factors? I thought that was the ref? Once that was said red card was only option. I thought that was the incorrect statement.
