I could accept that if he wasn’t kicking the ball in his next stride when the whistle was blown. He should have just let him kick it.

Stop being so accurate. It stings a bit

How TF does Hill not get cited?! ????‍♂️

I think QC could be out for a few, which is a shame. I was looking forward to watching him

REACTION: 'Effing wild!' - Cooper crocked, Banks broken and Swain sent off - but Wallabies overcome chaos

6 – with Valetini at 8 and Hooper at 7

Yeah Marika’s flick was forward for mine but hey, I’ll take it!

Samu for Valetini? I’m just not seeing that, to be honest. Valetini is providing some impressive grunt with the carry, defense and ruck and been part of a really good scrum and maul defence.

I reckon he’s earned himself a run at 8 and I like seeing a scary unit there.

12 doesn’t have to be an elite ball handler and doesn’t need to be that quick. Besides, I think he’d have developed the handling skills if he’d played that spot and worked on his speed

'I'm gobsmacked': Everything Rennie said on Hoops critics, JOC's key change and 'destructive' McMahon

You can assume I don’t all you like – you’re reaching for a false equivalence because it’s not me calling him lazy. That’s you. Without the knowledge to be making that claim

Nice try mate

Citizen Quade: 'To not know if I could come home was a daunting feeling,' says 'grateful' star

I still think Hoops would have made a very impressive 12…

Looking forward to seeing McMahon play

Even as your wife, PTA?

Crikey .. that’s messed up

Citizen Quade: 'To not know if I could come home was a daunting feeling,' says 'grateful' star

I’m with piru … we need to get back to separation between legislators and the public service … The Minister shouldn’t be making those decisions it should be a truly transparent process operated by the public service with an appeals process. Legislators make the law, it’s administered elsewhere. Too many power hungry politicians have done away with that

Don’t get me started on the federal opposition not being in the national cabinet or certain premiers refusing to sit parliament …..

Citizen Quade: 'To not know if I could come home was a daunting feeling,' says 'grateful' star

When did he start? You were talking like you knew the process he went through …

Seeing as you don’t know when the four times he’s applied started, especially knowing that these take a while to put together, submit and be processed, maybe it’s a little premature to be making calls about him being lazy etc

You’re not coming across here very well mate

Citizen Quade: 'To not know if I could come home was a daunting feeling,' says 'grateful' star

Anyone who has played and taken a high ball themselves knows that’s not true

There’s decades of international rugby that also died that’s not true. Then add in what we’ve seen in rugby league and AFL and we know that’s not true

They brought in THEIR expert to argue THEIR case, that’s all

Nigel Owens gives a referee's take on the Jordie Barrett red-card incident

It doesn’t need to be intentional to be dangerous or reckless

It’s a boot contacting the face unnecessarily at head height, studs up. Surely that’s a red card all day long?

Nigel Owens gives a referee's take on the Jordie Barrett red-card incident

He won’t because the red card being rescinded means he, and every kick receiver, now has a green light to stick their boot out like that.

Unfortunate in the sense Marika copped it in the face but let’s not be in any doubt that kick receivers are increasingly doing this to clear space and make sure they don’t get smashed by a well timed and legal tackle

Marika did absolutely nothing wrong

'We have to protect the game': Barrett's controversial red for face kick splits fans

Is your keyboard stuck? Got anything else to offer?

'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick

This idea that Marika timed the tackle wrong is a bunch of bollocks. He still had two steps to go to make the tackle when he got kicked in the face. It’s a clear as day in the picture. Jordy sticks the boot intentionally – not to hit or hurt Marika but as a way of avoiding getting smashed by a well timed and legal tackle. It’s rubbish.

Now we’re going to see it all the time and someone is going to get seriously hurt simply for playing good defence.

'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick

A very bad precedent and now we’re going to see it coached into the game even more – raised boots, head height and studs up … more people are going to be kicked in the face and all because the kick receiver wants to avoid that perfectly timed and perfectly legal tackle that smashes him as soon as his boot touches the ground.

People who are in favour of that bollocks need to have the heads read

'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick

Sorry to be a pedant but this particular grammar failure irks me for some reason… It’s would have not would of.

Ok ok, I’ll see myself out!

Wallabies DIY player ratings from Bledisloe 3: The results

Yeah I guess it is. I can’t say I’m happy with that decision. Now we have a precedent that every kick receiver is gonna have his boot out.

We already know it was being coached. We’ve been through it in Aussie Rules and the NRL already

'We have to protect the game': Barrett's controversial red for face kick splits fans

This is an incredibly bad decision. Not reckless, dear oh dear

'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick

Is he supposed to run in face backwards?

And kicking out your boot, studs up, at head height isn’t reckless?

Most of us here have played before and you don’t need to kick out like that. We’ve got years of international rugby where it doesn’t happen so that argument doesn’t hold water at all

I don’t think you’ve really thought through your argument.
