Is there any concern with concussions affecting Josh Flolok? I know he has suffered quite a few injuries over the past few years but not sure how many, if any, might have been related to concussion. He did come off in the Perth Bledisloe with concussion after what looked to me to be a "by the...

There are posters who are adamant that three points should be taken on all occasions. In recent times the Wallabies have been inclined early in games to go for line and have been heavily criticised. I was using the second Bledisloe as an example to show that "early scoreboard pressure " (ie...

The same provisos apply to the question of going for line and line out but many posters still hold a black and white opinion. In the case I quoted it was very early in the game so no need to consider possible yellow card and all kicks were successful but in the end achieved nothing in terms of...

We only know if it was smarter after the event. A case in point, the second Bledisloe where contrary to previous games the Wallabies kicked for goal on three occasions early in the match and still went down by more than a losing bonus point. Not a shining example of taking the points.

Sorry Yoda, not a murmer.

The problem with joining a discussion late MT. It was Adam84 who suggested Meredith's form in SRAus wouldn't warrant selection. I was merely responding to that comment.

I really don't think Super Rugby Aus is the form guide for a Wallabies tour. The Brumbies had fewer players with Super Rugby Pacific experience than otherwise, unlike the Reds who went full force in pursuit of some sort of silverware, but still bombed out. On the strength of that result, we would...

If he's not used at fullback to fill in for Wright. Worth noting Meredith has played 21 matches in Super Rugby for the Brumbies for 17 wins, including a MOTM performance in the win over the Blues at Eden Park this year. Which other current 10s can claim that sort of record?

Is Hooper definitely unavailable? Otherwise, Lachlan Shaw has probably done enough to warrant a spot in the A squad. I would think Tualima would get a spot over some of the others mentioned. Anyone with decent eyesight and a reasonably balanced viewpoint would include Declan Meredith in the...

You really do dislike and disrespect the Brumbies RR. A total of 7 players only across two squads. Nobody would suspect they have been the premier team among the Aussie franchises in living memory.

Although I have no issue with the try, I absolutely agree with this sentiment.

Tahs won that on the back of a forward pass (back inside from Sid Harvey in the lead up to the try that brought the scores equal). As far forward as the infamous JOC (James O'Connor) (?) pass to Daugunu for the Wallabies.

No comments please. But just because you had the bad grace to raise it, other unbiassed sources at RA and on the Roar also rated these three as the players of the match. All three are deserved points winners.
