A textbook head knock to SBW in Bledisloe 1 this weekend. NO HIA? It has been reported he is suffering no concussion effects.

Has there been any word on why the arbitration went against the force. From my albeit biased point of view I thought it was an open and shut case that the Force were destined to win. From memory the case hinged on if the broadcast deal was altered or if it was a new one, and to me it looked like...
Hey FF (Folau Fainga'a), Excellent analysis as usual.
One small correction (sub-editor must have missed it :D) , title box on the "Wallabies Forwards - Ruck involvements" table in your first post says "Brisbane 2016".
Why have the ARU not organized mid-week matches for this English tour like the Chiefs-Wales game last week. The ARU are certainly short of of funds and this seems like easy money. There are 5 idle super rugby teams looking to stay on top of their game, and I am sure the English would be...

Given the wallabies seem to be lacking a) a genuine pilferer and b) mongrel in the pack (which fardy has stopped given in the recent games) can I suggest playing hodgson at 6 to complement Hooper at 7? Hodgson led Super Rugby in pilfers this season and was a wall in defence.
Congrats to the Brumbies on a great win. They were excellent at nullifying Hodgson and McCalman in the loose and dominating our backs through To'omua and Speight. Why we didn't start Matthewson and Ebersohn I will never know. I think it would have been a travesty if the force had made the finals...
Can someone help me out with regard to a call in the USA vs Japan match. around the 55th minute there is a messy ruck. A US player comes into the ruck through the gate and accidentally knocks the ball with his feet into a player on the ground in the ruck. The ref has called accidental offside...
I was at the match last night and it was great to see us get up. The noise on the fox coverage from the crowd is incredible, especially considering there were less than half the number that went to the reds/brumbies match the night before.
I am not sure if anyone has mentioned that the last...
I am thoroughly enjoying this discussion. Well mannered, civil arguments are what makes this forum so good!
Are you implying that foul play requires intent? Is it not possible that Placid was genuinely contesting the ball and inadvertently committed foul play? Not sure what the laws say in...
