Can Noah Lolesio be Australia’s triple threat at No.10?

“Easier to start at 12/15…..” Where does that put Harrison? who has ONLY played 10 and performed well, in under 20s mostly admittedly…? He certainly played very well with Lolesio next to him in the 20s works championships last year! There’s no easing him in from the 12 or 15 position. Is that going to be to his detriment?

“If you’re old enough you’re good enough” is not always the best approach for the caretakers of these young players to take.

My thoughts as well regarding cam Clark. He played outside Centre for a lot of North season last year. I’m quite concerned about this weekend. Three losses in a row will just break me.

Newsome to OC? Has he ever played there? What sort of defender is he in that channel? Curious.

It’s tricky throwing Will Harrison in for such a big game but also might be the making of him. I think it’d be a big mistake putting Beale in at 10. And whilst he was decidedly average in the trial I think having him whispering in Harrison’s ear from 15 would take some pressure of the 20 yr old. Tough first round for sure. Hopefully Bell will be reserve prop. He looks tops.

What do we know about the Australian conference ahead of Round 1?

Is Nawa seriously an option as a play maker? I’m yet to see him show any distribution game. He definitely is a fine athlete and I’d take a point on him. Even over Beale at full back, who was pretty average in that trial. I would give him a go but can’t see him at 5/8.

The money is one thing. Go away money (i’d written something more fruity) is one thing. To apologise is another altogether. They’ve done more damage than any Instagram post could have. We need our institutions to stand up to this stuff but this will just give ammunition to the religious right. Sport needs to be inclusive and RA have just given the middle finger to the LGBTI community.

“…Take charge of the Wallabies until the end of 2023…”????!!

2 year deal with a 2 year option surely? Or is that still maybe the case. I know he needs time but he also hasn’t had any international experience. Oh well – I hope he’s right. Nathan Grey should go but I agree the other assistants may deserve another year under a different coach.

Gotta be either of the Wallabies teams. Always behind the eight ball interms if depth and playing numbers. Easily the Wallabies. 😁 👍

My ideal result is it to be tied after extra extra time. goal shoot-out has Pollard and Farrell snap one of the posts at either end leaving the game still tied. Then both teams realise all their sisters have arrived to watch and they have to kiss. They then cut the trophy in half so no beer can be drunk.

Underdogs maybe, but the Springboks have what it takes to topple England

“‘blow up’ Australian rugby?”

Guilty as charged. I ‘knee-jerked’ this response after last week but of course you’re right, now the dust has settled. I’m still not convinced that no-one needs to go though. If they can’t get their heads around an INDEPENDENT review then maybe someone does need to go.

I’m not so sure. Obviously this is against the odds, but as you Spiro says –
South Africa have a “chequered history against Wales”. If Wales can sort out their backyard I think they’re could stymy the Saffas. You never know. I think the AB/England is a simpler equation. England bank on opposition mistakes and the ABs won’t give them those like the Wallabies did. And the All Blacks set piece will hold firm.

Pretty much right except the Folau stuff. But let’s not go there. Every single person involved in Rugby Australia possible with the exception of Scott Johnson should be lead out the door.
