RWC 2023, the tournament where the top 5 nations are all underdogs.

Rugby News: Why Eddie has Rassie rattled, Boks' big No.10 blow, Gatland's bizarre crying baby ploy to fire up Welsh

The obsession with ruck pressure is keeping them in contests, but not winning them the games at the business end. They have to find more in attack. Cut off their rolling maul, and they struggle to find points. Creativity seems to be missing in between white and ikitau’s positions. It’s not like the pack doesn’t give them front foot ball. They need more from the 10 and 12.

Triple threat turns to triple concern: Wallabies star's indecisiveness gives Eddie food for thought ahead of RWC

Fair call. I think it is no different to what the reds tried to do to DMac last week. Just different reactions by the two players targeted.

'Gutted': Five-minute horror period ends Brumbies' Super Rugby hopes as Chiefs set up final with Crusaders

Chiefs went in with a plan to rattle Nic White, and it worked. Brumbies tight five had a poor night at the scrum. And the back three didn’t kick well. On attack the forwards gave the playmakers plenty of ball, but some poor decisions got them no where or they gave up the ball.
Tom Hooper, Ikitau, and Valetini were the Brumbies best. Oh well, the EJ circus begins.

The Roar are paying the trolls now.

He was a beacon of the game in a country that is often dominated in the news by other sports. I would always look for his articles to read about rugby, and even until recently he was asking the hard questions that needed answers. Very sad news, WS will be greatly missed.

The next coaching appointment is very important. No doubt they will balls that up as well.

Forget better facilities, coaches, marquee players or the grassroots. Let’s just get a whole lot of comedians in as rugby analysts so the supporters can get some entertainment out of Australian domestic rugby.

Well, SV was supposed to be the player you describe. And that is going swimmingly… Like car keys in a pool.

No doubt we will sign a couple of injured players for a year, who can then do rehab in the new facility, just to go play elsewhere the year after.

Leinster have lost their last 3 finals now and all of those games had Skelton in the opposition team. He is a big game player that influences matches.

Mate, the QRU should pay all us reds supporters restitution for injuries suffered. This whole once a decade thing is getting a bit old.

ANALYSIS: The tactical masterclass that saw Thorn flip the script - and showed how teams can stop Chiefs

I must have missed it last week where you predicted the result from the teams selected and/or outlined the tactics to win.
Mate, the reds had a club footy player making his debut off the bench for the final defensive period. Was that all part of the plan too?
Just enjoy a win against the odds as a neutral. Don’t be another wet blanket, that’s Christys job. 😁

Not sure Banks would find that humerus.

Yep. The passing argument against Tate is a bunch of BS.

They picked a cracker of a matchup to break the drought.

Some of that was selection too. Swain isn’t a scrummaging lock yet was a regular pick, and lonergan needed TT next to him to not get exposed. There are others but I’ll leave it at that.
