I wondering if this selection is also because Scots don't run a big loosie as such? Though I would still like a decent size one in there, kind of surprised that Finau didn't make bench, with Kirifi in reserves we don't really have ability to change the way we going to play. The positives it...

Yep mate can see the point, but so we say you can take out dummy runners without arms, unfortunately that was what Beirne did even if I thought it wasn't malicious or anything. I don't even like dummy runners , but I thought that me age (don't belive they onside or something). Just think with...

And talking refs decisions, in England/Wallaby test, it was interesting to think that when Potter got the intercept try it was probably a yc if he hadn't caught it cleanly. Makes that law a bit wrong to me.

Even more validation of 30 minute RC too. Irish RU were against it too I believe. I can see the decision could open the door to less cards? I can't agree with your reasoning @waiopehu oldboy that whether pass was forward or not made any difference, BB was there regardless. As I said, perhaps...

Be interesting to see any other changes WOB. Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Jacobson at 6, not sure Parker quite living up o promise.

Interesting to see in London on Saturday, there were 2 tests at different locations and a Babaas game, all farily close in time etc. Seems almost overdone, I mean it's not a different sport etc.

Bang on head position helps with body position, you don't lift our head , your back bends.

I think the problem here is the understanding of a tackle in the laws. You are tackled and have to release ball when your knee/s hit ground while someone is tackling you and they still in contact with you.

Just looking at that RC again, and all I still think it wasn't one, what the hell was Beirne trying to do. I know he had no time to adjust, but adjust to what? BB was right there , he was to close to adjust, so should he have already been bent? I originally thought a penalty was enough, but...

Geez what a cock up that was. How can you 2 minutes into game discover you can't replay something on big screen? Geez that RC was just beyond reason I thought. He was upright, and hit with shoulder I know , I can agree with penalty and maybe a YC, because apparently you have to be bent etc, but...

Can't see what there any discussion about, they call themselves PNG Chiefs, how can there be any discussion.

Don't see why not. I just think it's a myth about the whole front rowers only know what happens in there. I mean I played a few games there, not many, but used to listen to a bloody good prop I coached who used to say same thing. It's really pretty straight forward, body position is what it's about.

As a reasonable neutral (ok cheering a bit for Wallabies) I thought was a quite reasonable test to watch. Poms just seemed a little to strong in all round forward play, and perhaps Wallabies will be a little disappointed at how clunky they looked on transition to attack.

I couldn't agree more, I had thought that just before he was replaced. It's probably one of best games I have seen him when he looked like he was doing a props work, not just looking for runs etc. Good to see.

Yep mate, someone who doesn't go along with some myths. :)
