Question for Tah supporters – would you rather face the Chiefs or the Brumbies?

Rugby News: Blues claim 'healthy respect' after 15 changes for Tahs clash, Reds' 'tough ask', Rebel's Force pledge

In my opinion its not about freedom of speech, religion, or discrimination.
Its about contract law, honesty and integrity.
Folau put his signature on a contract which signifies that he will honor the terms of the contract.
Further, Folau gave his word that he would stop expressing his faith via social media.
As with everyone else on the planet, Folau practices selective morality.
You would think that honesty and integrity would be a big deal for Christians but based on the outcry clearly NOT!!

Israel Folau should be given a chance to defend his views

Good chance there is nothing wrong with his hammy. Management probably decided that a win was more important

Italy vs Wallabies: Spring Tour preview and prediction

great article – as always.

‘offsetting the tackler’ before contact.

To me this is just common sense.

Who would make the conscious decision to put themselves in the worst position for receiving a tackle?

Is it some macho, tough guy BS?

I think a little respect for your ribs, and keeping your spleen somewhere in your stomach cavity is a good thing.

Offsetting isnt so much smart – its more that not doing it is really stupid!!!!

The Wallabies forwards need to be accountable and go back to the future for Bledisloe 3

Im with you Spiro – which half best represents this Wallaby side?

The evidence would suggest the first half represents the Wallabies as the 2nd half performance, while spectacular, was a one off.

IMOH all the coaching team should be replaced. There has been no improvement or consistency since 2015.

However, as a Kiwi, I would love them all to stay put.

Has the Wallabies' Houdini-like escape against the Pumas saved Michael Cheika and his coaches?

I’m completely blown away by the the fitness of the SB.
These are very big men making 200 tackles and barely out of breath after 80 minutes.
Seriously…how do they do that?

Will a rivalry resume, or the Wee Boklings revert?

We measure coaching performance not on scoreboard results but on team improvement, tactics, ,strategy and offense/defense systems. We tend to give the coaching team time to embed their systems.
This WB coaching team has been given more than adequate time but there is negative improvement and the systems are inferior to those in 2015.

This coaching team have had every opportunity to succeed but have failed miserably.

They all need to go.

Progress starts by fixing things that have fallen off along the way

Very impressive analysis….

How long did it take you to figure this out?

I mean…I can spot a wardrobe malfunction in a flash but I would have had to watch this game six times and still not figured out that Faf was not being a faf standing where he was.

Are there people out there they can see whats going on as it happens? If Yes, could/should the AB have made adjustments at half time to counter this defense? Or did they need to study the video?

How the most basic of game plans helped the Springboks pull off the unthinkable

We are already worried about the player welfare and their workload – this tournament will not help that situation.
We are already concerned about a global season – this looks to favor the northern hemisphere teams.
English and French clubs would be financially impacted by this event – hard to see them giving their approval.
The idea is good but I doubt an annual event could find enough stakeholders to vote Yes.

League of Nations is an idea worth discussing, but…
