Considering what happened to Chris Gayle for something I would argue was much less serious than this, I would say Curran is extremely lucky to get off with only 4 matches.

What he did was stupid and inexcusable

'Hang their heads in shame': Sixers' ump intimidation appeal sets a bad example for sport at all levels

Sometimes a hand is all it takes… thanks for agreeing.

'They've got that wrong': Reds denied in wildly controversial finish as Rebels hold on in epic comeback win

The way I see it is, if there was no chance of him talking McDermott then Smith would never have held him.

The fact that the opposition saw him as enough of a threat to impede then the ref should see it as enough of an infringement to penalise.

In my view there was at least a 50/50 chance of him getting McD into touch before scoring.

Or just wrapping the ball carrier and holding them up?

'Fabric of the game': Watershed moment as RFU brings in radical tackle change to reduce 'risk of concussion'

How do you set up or defend against a maul?

Does this just mean mauls won’t exist except at elite level?

I always thought Cruden was so undervalued. He ended up being over looked for BBs flashiness.

I’m not saying BB isn’t a great player….just that he’s better suited to 15

Coach's corner: The big question mark over Tupou leading into Boks series and how Richie led Foster to salvation

I’ve always maintained that Barrett is not a 10. He’s a fullback that just happens to have enough x factor that he can get away at 10 for the most part. He’s at his best with time and space or in broken play ie at fullback.

He certainly is the distributor or backing organiser of Mounga or even Cruden

Chiefs, Blues, Highlanders, Crusaders, Canes for me

Rebels at a flip of a coin

Super Rugby tipping panel Week 11: It's a locked way to the top

G’day Brett

Super Rugby tipping panel Week 11: It's a locked way to the top

Fantastic article. I loved it.

Some truth and some excellent tongue in cheek humour which unfortunately seems to have been missed by many

Why it's New Zealand, not Australia, that's letting rugby down

Kenya?

Or I’d like to see Georgia given more exposure (not African I know, but similar timezone and SA are branching out north).

Japan eyeing Rugby Championship invite

Sounds eerily similar to another national coach who surpassed expectations at a world cup. He too then proceeded to put his blinkers on and stubbornly continue with a pre-conceived game plan regardless of what the results screamed.

'Is it entertaining? No': All Blacks legend speaks out against Springboks' DNA

I personally don’t think Chieka is far enough removed from the players yet to allow him to be impartial

Michael Cheika is back in Australian rugby - as a commentator

Correct. That’s almost exactly what I wrote in my first sentence. I elaborated in my second and third.

Will Australia leave New Zealand out in the cold?

I disagree that it means someone erred.

No one else in RA has that clause. The fact that they opted for added security does not equate to the status quo being wrong.

Will Australia leave New Zealand out in the cold?

Yes but they are not going to be doing any of that. They are employed to review the processes, structures and systems that are in place/being used.

They are not going to be actually carrying out those tasks themselves. They are different skill sets required

This panel isn’t employed to coach…

And what would Alan Jones’ credentials be?

Rugby Australia announce three-man panel to review Wallabies

Given he failed to appropriately follow good business procedure when he was the coach, I highly doubt he should he anywhere near a high performance review panel

Rugby Australia announce three-man panel to review Wallabies

The offside rule has been reviewed in league to afford greater opportunities to play running rugby and engaging backline moves

…how’s that worked out?

Nobody dominates an AB. Moody was probably just holding back

Well I guess we’ll get to see in a week

Scoreboard flatters Wallabies in 27-8 win over Georgia

I don’t doubt he’s come back from injury in prime condition.

To me he just seems lost/directionless. I wonder if it’s a coaching issue or he’s being asked to alter his role or preferred style too much

Use Jordan Petaia to re-boot the Wallabies' World Cup challenge

Is your punctuation missing or is it just a love affair with the shift key?
