TiaTia’s disallowed try was absolutely correct in being disallowed, he was well into touch. The first Drua try was into touch, just. However, the Drua thoroughly deserved their win and very well done to them.

'One that got away from us': Fiji's fortress strikes again as Drua beat Force in washing machine-like weather

Well done Drua! That was a good match of Rugby in great conditions. Loved seeing a wet and flooded footy field, almost like a club game in an NT downpour. That said, the skill levels on display were very different. The Fijian Crowds are awesome.

I’m pretty happy with KISS and Co at my beloved Reds. I hope Coleman stays at NSW, I reckon he is growing into the role. Be a shame to cut him away, plus, it would be quite damaging for the reputation of NSW after the early chops of Penney and Gibson.

'Something's not working': Tahs' Good Friday turns into a nightmare as Rebels recruit Daugunu seals upset win

Does this now mean the NSW Waratahs are severely “Embattled” after being trounced by the Rebels?

I enjoyed the match, it was a pretty high tempo game. Yes, there were some dropped balls, but great to see both teams giving it a shot. Gordon’s tackle on Piestch and Gleeson were rippers. Wonderful to see Will Harrison back on the field.

NSW aren’t playing badly, they just need to maintain their effort and it will come. I feel for Coleman, the nonsense he is copping is no doubt damaging him and dare I say, putting people off coaching.

Is this article produced by the North Korean Propaganda Society? EJ (Kim) being quoted? The overwhelming glorification of normal achievements expected by a Super Rugby squad member? RA has paid overs for someone again.

'Best place for me': Wallaby-in-waiting Jorgensen commits to Aussie rugby in boost ahead of Lions series

Great that Foketi is back, I wish him all the best.

I thought Cater Gordon’s brother would have started this week, not even on the bench?

Some cracking games this weekend. Hope my Reds get up against the Brumbies.

Smokey – Crusaders to beat the Chiefs.

We all love a good Trilogy. 😂

'Previous chairman can not be a scapegoat': First salvo fired in bid to spill the Rugby Australia board

Comedic Game of Thrones Series 3 out now. Season 1 – The Ex Wallabies Captains Letter. Season 2 – The Captains Pick Season 3 – The Directors Letter.

Good to see Professionalism on the field continues to excel off the field……Not!

'Previous chairman can not be a scapegoat': First salvo fired in bid to spill the Rugby Australia board

Maddocks – that is a name I had forgotten. He was hyped up by NSW and the ARU, the next big thing etc etc. Such a shame that we overhype every young player that comes on the scene from NSW.

Just read that Maddocks is only 27 and still playing Top14 in France. I’ll have to watch a few replays to see how he has progressed

Wonder kid offered 3-yr, $1.6m deal to stay in Aussie rugby - and why it could see Wallabies stars leave Ballymore

The madness at RA continues!! 😡 1.6m for a child of no greater ability than those before him. We need that money to go towards front rowers and locks. If Jorgensen goes, there will another fast paced overhyped school boy before we know it.

Wonder kid offered 3-yr, $1.6m deal to stay in Aussie rugby - and why it could see Wallabies stars leave Ballymore

I hope he comes back to my REDS & Kiss and Co will have him back at his best (emotionally and physically) in no time. Easily my favourite current Wallaby.

'Such an emotional guy': Why RA should let their biggest star leave for the sake of the Wallabies

What a cracking game of Rugby. The standard of play from both teams was excellent. I’m disappointed my REDS lost but congratulations to the Force. Reds a bit off the boil and the Force on fire. Great game of Rugby.

Reds' 'unbelievable, unfathomable' double disaster sums up shocker as Force spring stunning upset

One does wonder how much debt/cash RA used to underwrite the Waratahs to stave of liquidation.

Disappointing Christy that you have to use such an inconsiderate term as “embattled”. Perhaps you have forgotten that the players, coaches, staff and all of their families are human beings. They are living in enough uncertainty without you piling on. I do wonder if you will use the same word when the Hurricanes put 50 on NSW?

Hurricanes put half-century on Rebels in ugly scoreline for embattled Super Rugby franchise as injuries add up

I wish IP all the best overseas. However, he is no real loss at 13. Wilson is a much better option for NSW. Flook way better.
I also wish Nawaqanitawase all the best “Overseas”, here I was thinking that he was heading to the Roosters in the NRL.

Fresh Wallabies blow as Waratahs lose gun centre to complicate selection ahead of Lions tour

The most urgent need is to develop a cohesive, competent, get the job done tight-five even without the talent.
100%. Our biggest deficit for far too many years. Rennie and co were doing amazing things on that front. In walks a certain coach and ruins it (like his first time in charge), I’m pretty sure that Schmidt and Co will pick up where Rennie left off and skip the black hole of Jones.

Max, I respect your view on HJH. However, I vehemently disagree. IMO (which is like a chocolate starfish (everybody has one and they generally stink) he is no doubt a great guy, but lacking in the fundamental basics of scrumming, which is key. I politely suggest you check scrum penalty’s of HJH on the park. I agree on Pone, his scrumming is a liability. Schoupp, I reserve judgment. Overall, we need to focus a lot more on our tight 5 here in Oz, especially the front row.

Thank you Peter, I just read of his destroyed knee. Poor fella, hope he mends well.

Wallabies Power Rankings: How every Test contender is shaping up one month into Super Rugby

Thank you Tony. Like all lists, not everyone agrees. For myself, Wilson is definitely ahead of Valetini on performance thus far. I don’t understand how Debreczini is ahead of HMP, Jack is yet to play this season. Isaac Henry must be up the list than a few of the others? Harry Wilson at 13 for NSW should be on the list, personally I see him as a much better 13 than Perese. Liam Weight has to be top of the list for 6 and way ahead of Hannigan. Wilkin most certainly ahead of Gamble. Ryan Smith further up the list for sure.

Mighty fine verse Harry, thank you.

Joe Schmidt's search for a 'cold-hearted bastard' - and the issue he'll lose most sleep over

No need to anoint him. Just let him keep doing what he is doing and the rest will take care of itself. We are only 4 games into the season. Too often we get too far ahead of ourselves here in Oz.

So pleasant to be reading considered, simple and articulate words from our national coach.

I hope the Rebels stay and RA folds. Be nice to see how much RA has propped up/ covered for NSWRU (As Tony eludes to in his article).
