Radike Samo was the last bloke who actually belonged at 8 I reckon.
Wallabies without a no. 8
Yeah, imagine if everyone could kick, pass and tackle like Koroibete…
Two cheers only for the Wallabies' gritty win over the Springboks
Thanks Geoff, a good read from a level head. I do wonder if Nathan Grey’s structures have made some usually decent defenders look diabolical. The All Blacks were on fire but the defense under Grey at all levels has been woeful for a couple of years.

What’s with those stadium lights? thats gotta be annoying as hell it’s not a bloody disco.

Think the Lions are going to regret resting all those players.

I make a mean Ragu maybe I can slot in at 8?
Wallabies vs England second Test DIY player ratings: The results
If scrums go uncontested and the Wallabies win, we’ll never hear the end of it.
Pulver says AAMI Park perfect for Test
But what did he have for breakfast? does he take a newspaper to the dunny? Did he ring his mum last week? Oh so many questions! I can’t wait for the next instalment.
Hayne considering overseas rugby and a Parra return
Lies! Nobody voluntarily goes to Toowoomba!
The June Internationals talking points: Everyone gets a bench spot
Come on kpm, instead of dropping 1 guy you want to drop 4 other guys to save his feelings?
Michael Cheika cracks the second Test Wallaby whip against England
Attack in 7s isnt particularly structured so he doesn’t look horrible in that respect. He does however seem completely lost in defense. For a bloke only on for a few minutes each game he wasn’t showing much urgency around the park. Probably a mixture of not knowing where to be and having very little stamina after the NFL stint, lungs must been burning hard.
Highlights: Hayne struggles for impact at London Sevens, Olympic dream in doubt
The wolves best attack was from broken play, so it wasn’t Kerevi missing his opposite number if thats what you’re driving at.
Reds vs Sunwolves highlights: Reds by 10
Nicholas I think Goro did pretty well. In a team with people barely executing the fundamental competencies of the game, someone getting the basics right is refreshing.
Hurricanes vs Reds highlights: Hurricanes by 15
Ben Matwijow looks like he has the goods to be a Fardy type 6, not a lumbering lock. I’d give him a crack there with Tui at 8 and bring Neville back into the row.
Reds unchanged for Cheetahs clash
Pretty lenient there! Even a friendly kick in the head like that should be come down on pretty hard.
England prop Marler banned again
I think it’s more the position than the player Digger. Our 7’s with George Smith and Pocock the last decade have been very good at the breakdown, in a lot of ways negating the need for 1-15 to be proficient in turnovers/disruption. With hooper’s weakness being our 7’s traditional strength it leaves us exposed because very few others in the team have those breakdown skills. If he was an IC I’m pretty sure he would be hailed as the messiah by more than just NSWelshman.
Cheika sticks up for under-fire Hooper
Cheers Rob, scrums are a very technical thing with so many moving pieces its hard to see exactly whats happening unless we get a good old scrummamogram! Look forward to the next one.
Scrumma-mogram: Wallabies bested by Beast
They would have cancelled 7s from the olympic program for sure.
Australia seventh in men's sevens rugby
Wasn’t even aware that use it rule applied outside rucks and mauls.
Waratahs vs Brumbies highlights: Tomane hat-trick aids in Brumbies victory
Harsh but fair.
Waratahs vs Brumbies highlights: Tomane hat-trick aids in Brumbies victory
Bold prediction!
Waratahs vs Brumbies highlights: Tomane hat-trick aids in Brumbies victory
This reviewing after he awarded the try is ridiculous. Unless there was foul play he couldn’t see, he already made the decision.
Rebels vs Hurricanes highlights: Super Rugby scores, blog
This is a very very nice surprise.
Reds vs Highlanders highlights: Reds stun the defending champions
I don’t think you realise how little the Tahs internal back slapping matters to anyone outside of Sydney. That aside, what magical stats did he top? The official Sanzaar top 10s for the RC are as follows;
Tries – Not even there
Carries – Still not even on the board
Clean break – You guessed it, not on the board
Defenders beaten – Nice, equal 2nd
Meters carried – Nope, not in the top 10
Offloads – Nup
Points – nup
Tackles won – nup
lineouts -N/A
Pull your head in John – embarrassing.
