If an under 9 team you coached were up by 20-3 and then got 64 points to 7 put on them you’d be doing a lot of soul searching. But you’d put it down to kids having an off day and not believing in what they could achieve when it got tough. This is a national team that showed no plan or intent to...

Maybe the rainy conditions of the last 2 games hid some major issues? Like basic defence.

Argentina playing better and smarter.

Watched the replay. A lot of 50/50 calls didn’t go the Bulldogs way particularly in the second half. The last penalty was similar to Ardie Savea penalty in AB v SA test so I think DM got that one right. However can see why Wests were a bit miffed with Murphy and his ARs. Werchon throwing mouth...

$5 a head?

Brothers scramble won the game. Vunivalu was ankle tapped when there was a certain try in the offing & there was another moment when somehow their desperation stopped a certain try. That was the difference in the end.

You know they will if the coaches get a job elsewhere

Brothers v Wests should be a fascinating battle at Rue Yoku tomorrow. Young guns Werchon and Gordon v the experience of O’Connor. Brothers have a big pack and a lock playing 7. Wests kicking game might get them home. UQ and Souths at Stade de Bank - the last time they played 109 points were...

Sorry to hear that. Easts won the Shute Shield minor premiership and so have watched plenty of their matches. Haven’t seen any players with extra protection for knees and elbows.

Going to be a wet week with lots of rain forecast for Brisbane over the first 3 days of the work week. But at this stage the forecast for next Saturday’s major semi finals is a sunny 28C.

Second half: 12-7 Test team next week: 15. Kellaway 14. Wright 13. Ikitau 12. Paisami 11. Koroibete 10. Lynagh 9. Gordon 8. Valetini 7. Rory Scott 6. Williams or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 5. As above 4. Frost 3. Nonggor 2. Nasser 1. ?

We need to change the wallaby diets to braai for the rest of the RC.

Michael Hooper still has no answers after playing over 100 games for the wallabies.
