An absorbing article, Nick. Perhaps a Friday question/issue is what can the Wallabies do about the shortage of Wallaby available locks with ‘tahs locks and Seru being imported players?

Sometimes terms are capitalised when defined in legal documents. this practice merely hinders reading and is unnecessary.

I worked in NSW public education for 25 plus years. The spelling, syntax, grammar and punctuation was terrible amongst the staff, many of whom are now principals.

“They’ve repeated the first paragraph twice, and the second paragraph three times.”

Sorry to be a pedant but, they’ve repeated the first paragraph once, and the second paragraph twice.

The other irritating issue is the random use of capital letters for common nouns.

As Geoff Lawson points out in another paper, Australia has selected 5 openers with an injury cloud over Turner and possibly Agar. Unjustified hubris from the selectors.

Allowing the SA tour to occur would be reckless at this time. The Corona virus is out of control in SA.

hi Joel and Barry, perhaps the solution to the Holmes fullback/ wing is to adopt the hybrid wing/fullback from the All Blacks that sees two fullbacks and one wing. otherwise give Holmes a roving commission in attack.

Funbus, your comment contributes nothing and is cheap shot from a cowardl entitled keyboard troll.

Jacko, I respect your point of view. These are not normal times. The “UK” and the “African” strains of Covid are especially virulent and have our state premiers extremely concerned.

The “current cricket tours of Aus and in NZ” are not a fair comparison to a rugby tour. Cricket is a non contact sport. Rugby thrives on contact. Effective field placing in cricket demands social distancing on a much larger playing area.

Blithely ignoring Covid 19 and organising sporting tours may accentuate the pandemic and delay economic recovery possibly leading to a greater impact on player earnings. Maintaining player (and bureaucrat) wages are insignificant when battling this pandemic

“‘the fact that no one is safe may well be the extra motivation that is needed for the quicks to fire”

This statement is no more than a furphy with no evidentiary support. The opposite is often suggested as a reason for non-performance.

Sporting tours are irrelevant during a global pandemic. Covid 19 is out of control in South Africa, the UK and Ireland. A Lions tour epitomises the buffoonery of the UK upper classes.

Great article Inside Edge.
Excellent reply Sheek.
I still remember Greig and Knott batting in white full face (motorcycle?) helmets in WSC after helmets were first adopted after Rick McCosker’s jaw was smashed in the centenary test. The height difference was staggering.

Barrington and Boycott together. both notorious stonewallers…impossible to get out and oblivious to the scoring rate.
