I reckon you need a card in between a red and a yellow. In both of these cases the impacted players managed to play the rest of the game. You could send off the offending player, not to come on again, but replace them with an alternate player so you still have a 15 man team. That could work.

We need to continue to make sure that the head is sacrosanct. Always. And the pace that the game is being played makes is harder every year

Wallabies win Bledisloe 4 thriller in Brisbane

Thanks so much for that. Managed to only see the second half so looking forward to the first. !

Fair point. He needs to walk a fine line

Reece Hodge at 10 as Dave Rennie makes huge changes to Wallabies team for Bledisloe 4

Yep – a new coach in a four year RWC cycle has a good one to two years to get things right. Year 3 needs to start the incline with a peak in the fourth year. Rennie doing exactly as expected in year 1 !

Chieka’s Team would include Phipps, Foley, and Beale. Simmons to start. Might even include Giteau…..

1. Sio
2. TPN
3. AAA
4. Simmons
5. Ned
6. Samu
7. Hoops
8. Poey (out of position, retired but doesn’t matter)
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Korobiete
12. Beale
13. TK
14, Hodge
15. Maddocks

James O'Connor injury forces major Wallabies shake-up in team for Bledisloe 3

Hooper is the best in his position. Ned had his best game ever last time in Gold and deserves another go.

Talk about a baptism of fire with JOC and Toomua out and no cover for 10 on the bench.

Think Simmons a little lucky to retain his spot but trust DRs judgement.

A great player and a joy to watch. He will be missed.

David Pocock calls an end to his spectacular professional rugby career

It probably was Geoff 😂

The Wrap: Player welfare no concern as All Blacks take it up a notch in Auckland

Can’t understand how Korobiete got a 4. He had such an off day – everything he touched went sour. By the ratings he should’ve got a 1. Ok maybe a 2 for the try.

With all these players out of position it’s almost like Chieka is coaching the ABs 😂

All Blacks make raft of changes for Eden Park Bledisloe showdown

I actually think White tripped over in the Smith try as he was trying to grab him. Unfortunate not to have been able to pull him down

Is there a better Australian scrumhalf than Nic White?

Not many would’ve got that one in those conditions to be fair…..5mm the other way and it’s in.

What changes should the All Blacks and Wallabies make for Bledisloe 2?

His stats just weren’t up to it 😂

First comment for a long time. You make a lot of sense Cassandra. Let’s hope that unlike his predecessor, DR actually does analyse his opposition. That would be a nice start wouldn’t it. Think we may well get done but starting to really look forward to this game.

Revealed: The Roar's Wallabies team for Bledisloe 1

Maybe you’re right and maybe my post above for 12 weeks is a bit over the top (although isn’t 12 weeks the entry point?). but I really don’t want this stuff to go unpunished as it sends the wrong message. Next we’ll be saying that a finger up the date in the ruck is ok – where would Izzy be then ?

Marler cited for squirrel grip on Jones

Ok fair enough. How about we just call it sexual assault and give him 12 weeks for that. It’s unsportsmanlike behaviour and deserves a decent penalty.

Marler cited for squirrel grip on Jones

Max, I could be wrong but I think the Rebels deteriorated last year when they removed English from #13. He had a pairing with Meakes that appeared to be working. I hope Wessles doesn’t change that moving forward. I would like to see Hodge on the bench to start.

The Wrap: Super Rugby splits into two

Gee Geoff, who would’ve thought that teams need to play together a fair bit before they can expect some consistent level of success? I guess Chieka wasn’t aware of that when he played some of our halves pairings in the recent World Cup. 😢

The Wrap: Super Rugby splits into two

Yes – and a 4 year ban at this level effectively ruins the guy’s career. Yes it was stupid, but it shouldn’t be a career ending penalty.

The Wrap: Super Rugby splits into two

It was a stupid thing to do, but you’re right – I don’t think there was any intention to harm. Having said that you can’t play with someone’s junk. It’s wrong on so many fronts, and we don’t want to send a message that it’s ok. 12 weeks for mine. Maybe it’s 16 because it’s Marler and he’s a knob (pun intended). 😊

Marler cited for squirrel grip on Jones

Yeah I think so too. If Koroibete was a couple of feet back, then no problem.

The obstruction call that divided a commentary box

Don’t k ow why he’s not getting a game at The Rebels. Is he injured?

Super Rugby Round 3 teams: Petaia ruled out in injury blow for Reds

Yeah, because the Force were perennial over-achievers. Rebels do need to start delivering something though – Wessels must be getting nervous.

Cliffy was indeed great to watch. Really enjoyed his barnstorming runs. Thanks for the article. I enjoy reading these ones

Thanks. Disappointing about your lack of coverage of the Rebels.
