He did that when he was at school. I watched him play 10 as a schoolboy with David Pocock at 12 they carved up every side in the GPS Brisbane competition. Set records just about every week. He could long pass on both sides as a 17 year old. Very talented player.

Totally agree with your comments around QC rugby brain. Very smart and great tactical mind for those that know. Maybe RD and MC didnt like that the 10 didnt agree with them all the time. Do as I say will never get you to where you want to go at this level. Thats one of the traits I have noticed with DR when the players talk about him and the game plans.

I wish QC all the best and I hope he has a blinder. Was never intimidated by any team or player. Agree with some of the comments here he has/had the best long pass in the game and on both sides. I remember him as a schoolboy practicing those long passes after training at school. Im still scratching my head over Banks?? Why??

CONFIRMED: Quade Cooper returns for Wallabies at No.10, Rodda starts, two debutants

Agree but should not be the case. If this was the case I am not going to celebrate DM becoming the head coach when DR leaves nor am I happy that DR is that easily influenced.

MATCH REPORT: Rennie called for a foot on the throat, but All Blacks' response was 'ruthless'

It was almost a Brumbies side. Some of these selections made me scratch my head. When I saw the team I had this horrible feeling in my gut

Hey Kiwihayden
I think you knew the answer to that ? Before asking ???????????????? 👍

The Wrap: Will Marika Koroibete’s red card be the making of the Wallabies?

Agree Peter That is exactly how Nigel Owens used the tools at his disposal. Only had others contribute when asked. No committees in games he officiated.

The Wrap: Will Marika Koroibete’s red card be the making of the Wallabies?

This is a first for me. I was at the game on Saturday night and what an atmosphere. The red card when viewed at the game was a poor decision to say the least. It took 3 officials on the field and a TMO 5 minutes to make that decision. At the game we could not hear the officials chatter that came to the conclusion that it was red. On watching the replay it was even more baffling. Tackler was bent heavily at the waist. Ball carrier leant heavily into the tackle. Tackler was moving at tremendous speed. Then at the end of the little committee meeting O’Keefe suggests Red to his mates and Pickerill just shrugs his shoulders giving no determined opinion on the matter at all. Really poor decision making for mine. Decision was flawed IMO. One of the reasons given for the red was that he was coming from a long way off. What does that actually mean? There was both no malice and mitigating circumstances.
I will not comment on the French captain taking a dive. Unfortunately that will be on his highlights reel for the rest of his career.
Young wallabies forwards came of age on Saturday night. They made the correct decision to turn the test into a slugfest after the red and sucked the French into the fight. Great night for Aussie Rugby. On the Foxtel matter I cancelled my subscription 2 weeks ago after 16 years.
Great to see the ratings on 9 and Stan!!!
