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…
Anyone having trouble submitting their tips?

Kiwi arrogance.
Super Rugby shows that the Bledisloe Cup isn't going anywhere - one selection could give the Wallabies hope
Can’t save their own skins. Probably can’t save Australian Rugby. I do think Herbert, Waugh are doing their best it turbulent times but I can’t say much about the others. I don’t know enough about the others and their performances. The new board members better have magic wands to fix what appears to be monumental mess.

'Run-on debut like no other': Junior Wallabies flyer announces himself to the world after stunning hat-trick
He wasn’t that great but I think he is as good as Ikitau on his day.

Yeah Weston’s bombs weren’t the best kicking option in my view.

Reds. Typo
'Heartbreaking': Blues sink Reds with post-siren try after rising star scores epic hat-trick
The kids got some legs on him and seems humble and knows his place. Impressive tries but also looks to all round a decent winger. Hope he improves and really excels.

You gotta wonder if Tate and Fraser had played if the outcome had been different. Proud of the Refs Boys. They played very well and tough. Just not quite good enough when it counted. Blues are a good team. Could go all the way. Maybe the Blues and the hurricanes final.

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.

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.

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!

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
