After a little more time some further thoughts on the game. In general I think commentating too much on individual players is unnecessary and unwarranted. The Wallabies won, the team was a bit experimental and the conditions were dire. (And one could say there was also the BOK effect.) And the...

Perhaps I was a bit harsh. Or expecting better. But, as you say, he might be the best we have at the moment. And in reference to an earlier post, I didn’t see all the game. But my criticism is also biased by my dislike of box kicks. A loss against New Zealand when one N White box kicked away...

From what I saw the main thing is that Jake Gordon should not play again. He must be a plant by V’landys (the horse racing guy) or heavily protected by the Watatah’s mafia. Shit box kick after shit box kick. Nothing else to add to the game. He managed to make league’s six tackles and kick sublimely creative.

He will be out a bit longer than the player who tackled him anyway. But a can of worms - should time out injury be taken into consideration for penalties.

One could argue than even three is too many.

Has anyone any details of possible games tomorrow?

They seem to be keeping things very much to themselves. Some schools are quite secretive about what is happening.

Should the Twiggies get more players in the Wallabies than the Tahs?

I like the intensity of the Highlanders. And they seem to be better at basics and cohesion Incessant useless box kicks by Australian halfbacks?
