Few players have had an impact on Australian rugby like Adam Ashley-Cooper. Who can score a try in style like he has done so…
The last few days has seen some changes take place in the Australian rugby landscape. What impact will these changes have in the future…
Read another article on another site suggesting JOC is aiming for Anzac round for a return. Hamstring has been a difficult issue for him this time around.
Super Rugby teams week 9: Beale back for first time in 1494 days, Reds make 6 changes, Wallaby returns for Brumbies
I hope Belly recovers and there is a solution to the ongoing injury. A prop like him is much needed in Australia. Devastating for him.
'Needs to be considered': Bell out of Super Rugby season as ex-Wallaby suggests left-field positional switch
Why not have Coleman also in the coaching team under Cheika? I don’t think he should just be turfed but taught and gain more experience. He has been a successful coach at lower levels and in the states. Maybe he just needs more time to grow

You aren’t a member of the RA board per chance?
Rugby News: Tahs' next goal after 'big emotional weight' lifted, AB legend's career call, Crusader off to Saracens
Your comment seems a bit tainted with a sky blue lense. Yeah, you’re right, all the rest are forgettable.

League is a little different because of the 10m rule at the play of the ball so the collisions can be bigger but more so the tackles are more likely to be 2 or 3 tacklers for most tackles. More weight in the tackle and more chance of leg injuries with hip drop tackles when someone also tackling up the top.
There are only two ways rugby can go from here - and there's no middle ground between physicality and safety
Haha. Yeah not so much a technique but more a dog act.

It’s a contact sport and I don’t like seeing players get injured but it’s part of the contact. There are certain techniques that are dangerous which should be outlawed (chicken wing tackles, eye gouging, head high tackles etc) but we can’t take the contact out of rugby. In the western world where we don’t have a right of passage for young boys to become men, rugby is one of those ways. Every player knows that injury is a risk you take when you play rugby. Accept what is unfortunate within the legality of the game and don’t accept play that unreasonably puts player welfare at risk. There is a balance to be found though it maybe imperfect. There are no solutions, just trade offs.

This is foolish!
EXCLUSIVE: Schmidt to appoint David Warner as Wallabies leadership consultant
Wish we had rob Penny back.
'We’d like to see Taniela stay': RA 'absolutely' want Thor for Lions, have 'contingency plans' for Rebels crisis
His technique is very good. So his size does pose too much of a problem
Super Rugby tipping week six: 'Golden point, my a---': everyone tips the Tahs but who really believes in them?
Hamish was the glue at the Reds and the same thing has been said about him at the Force. He’s in fine form but that form has been consistent for many years now. He wouldn’t look out of place in a wallabies jersey.

Kellaway makes less mistakes, Peter. Depending on who is at 10 would also change my mind on fullback. If it’s Gordon, I’d pick Kellaway. They have a good connection and know each others game well. Who is 10 is a lottery. Schmidt has mentioned Donno and he is playing well. I have Lynagh and Gordon before Donno though. However, I’m not a selector.
'Hang on': Forgotten Wallaby tipped for big year as Wright reveals 'biggest work-on'
I feel like he will always be a diamonds and rocks kinda player. If there are more diamonds than rocks then he has merit but you’d have to say that Kellaway looks better at fullback

'Best place for me': Wallaby-in-waiting Jorgensen commits to Aussie rugby in boost ahead of Lions series
Good to see RA investing in a rugby player and not a leaguie or the Rebels.

They’ll be up for it.

Vunivalue. Gold!

Vunivalu set to be dropped for Brumbies clash as Reds recall off-contract Wallabies star
He hasn’t had much chance at fullback. Maybe he will show more given a little time back in the saddle
Wonder kid offered 3-yr, $1.6m deal to stay in Aussie rugby - and why it could see Wallabies stars leave Ballymore
Someone else will pay him more if he isn’t given a good enough offer.

You have to invest in the future guess. I’d suggest he has shown enough to warrant the offer.

Seems like the timing might be right for Campbell. Depends perhaps on whether he is selected by Schmidt

It’s not crazy money. Jorgo is a good rugby player. He is worth it regardless of whether he has played for the Wallabies or not. I have no doubt he will. Some of the reactions to this is really ridiculous. If we don’t invest wisely we will lose out to league. Suali, Kellaway and Jorgo into the fullback position at the Tahs doesn’t add up. What are they doing at Tahs?

There is some good match ups this weekend. The tipping has been crazy this year. Topsy turvey and hard to predict which is good for super rugby. Force for the upset this weekend.
