I read that he topped both linebreak assists and try assists in Super Rugby this year? Pretty handy quality in a playmaker.

its the same throw they are picking off every time. Maybe try something different?

I think Australia are really missing one of the K's to cart it into the teeth of the defence (or at least fix the defence) on the first phase. They are trying to play the second line of attack off the first phase and without a dominant runner hitting that inside line to put the defence in two...

Reece Hodge has to have played himself out of the 13 jersey. On the flip side the other 13 (English?) I thought looked very good. Deegan looked like he was a bit rushed to me and To'omua looked out of sorts. The replacement 10 for the wallabies (Stewart was it) had some nice touches when he came on.

That was a little golden referee behind Cheika - giving all the penalties the same way

Interesting question. I thought that it had to be on the line for it to be out (it looked to me like it was up against the line if not on it), but it actually looks like it is a bit more than that. Law 19 says that "The ball is in touch when it is not being carried by a player and it touches the...

This starts and ends with the IRB (World Rugby) - familiar pattern since 2011

People reckon Korobete can't turn and chase, but they have picked off Hodge pretty effectively in the last ten minutes

When Ford kicked that from his won half there were English players advancing in font of him

Law 11 In general play a player is offside if the player is in front of a team-mate who is carrying the ball, or in front of a team-mate who last played the ball. ....... A player who is in an offside position is liable to sanction only if the player does one of three things: •Interferes with...

Can't advance in front of the kicker. Decision is correct - but like so many laws is frequently ignored. England have been chasing kicks in offside positions all match

I am not sure that this is a second strategy. I think that it might be the same strategy executed with different players Larkham seems to like a first phase attacking set up where Foley takes the ball wide and flat with essentially three passing options - they don't do this all the time from...

Even when Kerevi is not starting he is often the "midfield" backline reserve, so in those cases the wallabies are going into matches with him as the back-up for Foley, Beale or Kuridrani - whether as a result of an injury or a tactical sub. If that is the case, we have to be comfortable he can...

"Barbar - with Quade at 10 the Wallabies have had two reasonably convincing wins in TRC and have shown an attacking capacity that hasn't been obvious in any of the games that BF has played 10. Do you think that the improvement is all down to Bernie Larkham and that it would have happened if...

I’d be interested to know how often a team has lost the stats by that much and won the scoreboard by that much

no ball, no arms - sounds a lot like Tuculet on Genia?

Folau's worst game in union? Even dropped a high ball

The Wallabies have done wonderfully well in defence and even though they haven't got too many rewards from their breakdown work, they have executed what opportunities they have had with an efficiency the All Blacks would be proud of. Every game has an ebb and flow - looking forward to the...
