I want to see Australians playing for Australia. My preference is for Super AU with no other teams. 2 x games a week at set times to drive consistent viewership. In my opinion this would also add to the intrigue of the Bledisloe, playing against your potential opponent each week (and usually...

I think he could convert to if Jock leaves, but I also think Flook would be a good 15 too. Daugunu to 13 and Flook to 15? I would like Pasitoa at 12, he could step in like Jock has this year but hopefully be a bit better due to his experience at 10 in the past. I have never been the biggest...

https://www.theroar.com.au/2025/06/28/exclusive-pasitoa-was-considered-a-wallaby-in-waiting-now-the-future-star-is-without-a-super-contract/ I wouldn't mind us looking at picking up Pasitoa if he is a reasonable price. He could be a pretty handy player to have in the squad and certainly has...

Claxton Shield, that takes me back. It is a shame what has happened to Australian Baseball, looks like only 4 teams this this season. I guess this gives the Brisbane Bandits a 1 in 4 chance of the title. To get back to rugby, Ian Williams played for NSW in baseball in the early 80s and also...

Richard Graham ticked many of the boxes that Latham doesn't but I can't see Latham being any worse. Ronan O'Gara was supposedly interested in the Wallabies job, maybe he could coach the Reds for 5 or 6 years to be better qualified for future Wallabies jobs.

I think this will be the case with most super rugby teams. It should be considered a minor win if you are ahead at half time and even more so if you are still within 7 at the 60 minute mark but competing with a test team is probably a bit too much. Lions to win 39-17

Rebel sport has an almost complete range of Lions gear at the moment. I quite liked the tour beanies for $30, I was surprised they are made by Kookaburra Sports. https://www.rebelsport.com.au/p/british-and-irish-lions-2025-tour-beanie-71219101.html?cgid=REB081822#start=8

I wonder if we will have a backup for HMP on the bench?

I doubt if I will see another Australian (eligible) player with his skills and natural ability. I probably have about another 30 years in me so who knows???

I cannot understand how you come to this conclusion. It is great coaching to be able to succeed with different plans. Why would you use the same every week, opponents soon work out your weaknesses. I fondly remember in the glory days with Link as coach they beat the Blue Bulls, a formidable...

I would be interested if they would consider selling Origin as a separate deal? I could see someone like Amazon Prime paying top dollar with a "free 2 x months access" to get all of the series then try to keep viewers. Maybe they could promote Christmas presents with free overnight shipping...

I think could do that because he had Quade Cooper, I think he was a key piece in being able to plan for different teams. Our 10's may get there one day, but I don't think they change each week at this stage of thier careers

they look to have more than the Crusaders had last week going by the TV broadcast

They are professionals and left to ensure they got money while they can, I didn't have an issue with it as it was for their future. I have issues with us happily accepting LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) back after he left for Melbourne.

I wonder what percentage of games Lynagh has been assessed for concussion? It seems like a 50% chance he will be assessed during a game and about 33% that he will come off for concussion or be missing a game due to concussion the previous week. I really worry that he wont have a long career...
