Why do we always get Nic Berry for these games? As a Tahs supporter would even prefer a kiwi or Damon.

How sad is it that supporters yell insults at referees at a level and volume they have to stop the game and have someone removed? But there's alot more coaching these days than I am guessing there would have been back then about material effect and trying to let the game flow but it's hard if...

It’s endemic in school rugby at least. The ruck is someone else’s job while they jostle for the next hit up.

Only watched the mini but France seemed a bit too respectful first half taking the 3 instead of going for touch. Managed the win but surely par was the bonus point win.

They changed the wording. 2021 version excluded mitigation for highly reckless. https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2021/03/10/e597c9c8-e852-4e19-875f-18e02e7f7e24/Head_Contact_Process_EN_v1.pdf It used to be being upright and lack of dip would have precluded mitigation but this...

Pretty much this plus angling in, standing up or wheeling all options. Most of the time the reversing and wheeling is more pronounced so the ref has their pick of infringements. Last scrum Wallabies went back a bit and the scrum wheeled slowly before just going past 90. They may not have clearly...

Am kind of thinking along these lines after the game. Not all doom and gloom except for the injuries at tight head. I think Gordon with White at half next game to do the restarts would ease some of the pressure on him. Looking at the kiwis they went all in for this one, full strength line up...

Cat D behind the posts were cheap. $88 for a family ticket plus I grabbed 3 junior tickets for fifth child and 2 of their mates for $20 each. Like Allianz view is decent in the cheap seats. Only shame was a small subsection of Argentina supporters perched on concourse behind us splashing their...

3. Koroibete 2. Valetini 1. Frost

That could be the best option at 10 and 15. Not sure what Moana’s following in Sydney is like but hope a decent turnout for Hoops last. My older 2 kids were on to me to go and have enjoyed the atmosphere at Allianz this year.

Is it OK to care/show interest yet?

Law 16 DURING A MAUL 8. The ball-carrier in a maul may go to ground provided that player makes the ball available immediately. Sanction: Scrum. 9. All other players in a maul must endeavour to stay on their feet. 10. All players in a maul must be caught in or bound to it and not just alongside...

No. Brumbies gifted it.

I rate Way, and Graham Cooper. Williams best of kiwis. Berry should not be picked for reds or Tahs games. Gardiner likes to show how tough he can be on Tahs in the past as well. Not sure why we persist with Murphy.

My kids asked why I tipped Brumbies this week. Berry is a 10 point handicap for the Tahs.

Most relevant bits I can find. Law 15.8 The ruck ends and play continues when the ball leaves the ruck or when the ball in the ruck is on or over the goal line. Game Management Guidelines > Ruck > ball out and collapsed ruck At a tackle, a player can pick up the ball if one foot is level with...

Because professional teams deliberately infringe when on the back foot and red zone. The inconcsistency when some teams get away with it actually leads to more teams rolling the dice. I'd like to see more consistent and firm application of cards for repeat infringements till players get the...

I think the inconsistency of the TMO intervention on foul play is more of an issue. We get random ones for penalty only clean outs but letting text book YC and RC's go unreviewed in the same game. Perhaps the TMO should be limited to YC threshold referrals only unless ref calls for TMO to check...

Raynal was all over the shop last week and tonight was only marginally better but Welsh TMO has been very poor across both games in terms of foul play and in goal reviews. Finding a knock on in goal by the Wallabies was peak 'value add'. No doubt review of last week put them on to the guidelines...
