Mainly an AFL player, Ruckman, but long-time and passionate Rugby fan. I played rugby at Narrabeen school, Australian College of Physical Education (Teachers College) and while a volunteer in Nuku'nuku, Tonga. Second row, no 4 in lineout. I like to think that I invented the concept of the banana kick (or Check-side in South Australia where it was invented) when kicking for the sideline (boundary), especially when close to the sideline. The first time that I did it in a game was in 1975.

Wallabies player ratings: Young forwards fire but key players struggle in Bledisloe heartache

I’d start him at 7, with Fraser on the bench

TWS, who do you think is the better scrummager, Talakai or Van Nek ??

I think that if White is going to box kick and I agree that he shouldn’t have !
.
Then he needs to have Marky Mark at the ready and re-train himself to kick higher and closer to the sideline so that : –
A. Marky Mark can utilise his aerial skills to catch or tap back
B. Or We can force them to put the ball out and win a lineout
C. Or don’t box kick !!

Studs and duds: Eddie hails 'some kind of monster', Carter fails number one job, 'horrible hint' of 2019 mess

Is Skelton trying to, . Swim-through. to their ball carrier ??

Samu to start, for me …

Hamish’s practising to be a politician and come out with the winners
– shaking hands all round !!

Where there’s life there’s hope - and there's plenty of life left in this Wallabies side

In defence Tate, .
He has to be where the ball lands
More for Dan Palmer to work on -IMHO…

Where there’s life there’s hope - and there's plenty of life left in this Wallabies side

Brad Wilkin (Melbourne Rebels) for openside …
.
Too outside the box for Eddie !?

The chip-kick is a fantastic weapon if timed correctly,
Unfortunately, the All Blacks executed perfectly !

'Whoever sacked Rennie, needs sacking': Eddie Jones wants you to 'pray' as his stock sinks faster than NZ economy

4 x options in this squad
However, big step down …

And once he gets going and playing with control, he is our best fullback. IMHO.

Perform or perish: Fit-again Wallaby adds to Bledisloe selection headaches

Yes, Bodger, there’s no :
“HELD – Play the ball”.
Ex-League defensive coach is fine but a ruck and maul coach is then required.
Perhaps he is called Forwards Coach but must be there to work with a RL Defence coach.
I believe that this was Lord Laurie’s speciality …
