The All Blacks are fading to grey, but I fear nothing will change
Six weeks ago a rare opportunity to watch the All Blacks train came up, so I rescheduled work, hooked my 13-year-old son from school…

Interesting the panel is all from one union
'Mockery', 'broken game', 'laughing stock': Rugby rages as red card reversal clears Owen Farrell for World Cup
He dips slightly the drives up no attempt to wrap!
Clear definition of a red card
Perfect example to show kids how not to tackle.

So there’s pretty clear footage on 360 showing how easy it is to check by the cutting edge technology of line at 90° to the sideline .
So why cant the bunker do this with there multi million dollar tech .
No one can argue with the line

I was just there for the qld schools rugby championship and can tell that field is in excellent condition

Well I’m sure im not alone as a kiwi’s fan in hoping he gets picked ahead of Walsh or Ponga
Panic at Tedesco but captain Kangaroo still No.1 option at fullback despite high hopes of in-form rivals
If your a coach of one of the other teams you’d be really hoping to play one of these teams the next round.
Four clubs announced for NRL's historic Las Vegas venture: 'On a stage the sport has simply never been on before'
Not the supporters I’ve been talking too!
Wallabies fans appear comfortable with 0 and 4 – but some obvious questions remain
I don’t think the fines work, maybe for a hair pull or a lazy trip attempt but not for a dangerous contact.
Lucky Luai yet another example of NRL’s wobbly wheels of justice veering off track in search for consistency
It seems pretty clear cut, if you leave jump into the tackle as a defender you are not in control so if you make high contact with your head or shoulder to your opponents head expect a suspension .
Like the hip drop if you loose your legs your in trouble.
Fines aren’t deterring the players enough.
The send off and a 1 game suspension will be more effective in eliminating this from the game.
Also think if you commit an illegal action resulting in a sin bin that forces an opponent out of the game the offender should not allowed to finish the game either an be replaced with a interchange.
Luai is very lucky

Why would the ref review it ?
I saw it clear there was significant head contact
Bledisloe heartbreak: Eddie's Wallabies denied by last minute Mo'unga penalty as ABs seal stunning comeback
Yes he was trying to sell it as a neck or shoulder really poor form to keave him out there

I think the send off is more effective than a suspension especially for the opposition team .
It will force coaches to make sure the players lower their height in the tackle
Round 23 judiciary: 'Don't see anything wrong with it' but Burgess faces big ban as Luai, Fotuaika, Brown get feather touch
Think Christie has to have played Webber and Roigard into the squad.
Thought McLeod was solid in a tough situation to debut ALB was very ordinary/rusty.
LF surely did enough to get that 5th outside back spot.
Ardie and whitelock were outstanding either for mom
Think McKenzie was ordinary just seemed to have no time and was panicking.

Barrett-less Bledisloe: Fozzie makes 12 CHANGES for Wallabies rematch, Eddie bats away 'disrespect' line
I don’t have him in my team surely Webber is fisrt choice
Barrett-less Bledisloe: Fozzie makes 12 CHANGES for Wallabies rematch, Eddie bats away 'disrespect' line
I think LF is ahead just because he can play centre and we are pretty flush at fullback.
Thought CC might have got a last shot
Not begrudging SS at all
Barrett-less Bledisloe: Fozzie makes 12 CHANGES for Wallabies rematch, Eddie bats away 'disrespect' line
Christie must be playing for the 3rd hb spot.
BW and AS I’m sure are in and I think Riogard will get the nod or he would be playing this game.
Not sure about Stevenson and McLeod getting a run as I don’t see either in the squad . Finau still a chance but this team makes me think the squad is already locked in barrring injuries

Thought the field was quite narrow highlander I do wonder if that influenced the game plan

There are other punishments available JN
Sexton verdict has big impact on Ireland's World Cup campaign
Gee pretty light punishment.
It’s not like he was on the field and emotional in the heat of the moment.
He has made a concious decision to seek out the refs and give them a foul mouthed spray, this goes against the fabric of our game.
3 games is just a discrace !
Surely a hefty fine should have been included and the club fined and docked points for next season.
WR look very weak here and have set precedent for the future .

He wasn’t playing so it’s not the heat of battle.
It was a calculated foul mouth attack on the refs integrity

Haha clearly you watched the ref analysis video on YouTube where they show 3 things the boks did wrong then focus on nz .
Placing a hand is not binding and cherry picking linout width is crap you can move the moment the throwing action starts as long as you don’t jump across.
That vid was a load of poo
There is a whiff of myth about this Springboks side - and they were badly exposed by All Blacks' coaching team
Read on planet rugby that if we won by 15 we would jump to 2nd

Wow I would seriously think about sitting out till next season if I was Tedesco.
9 is way to many in the ufc you get a 3 month suspension after being knocked out so that would be 27 months.
At what stage does the nrl step in and force clubs to sit players out.
The roosters have handled these situations excellently in the past to their credit.
