My view is that Sampson was exactly what the Force needed 5 years ago but (based in results in Super Rugby) a change of direction is needed and (based on what I’ve read) that Cron could provide the change. Tim is a great bloke and engaged with the fans a lot, so the change is going to come...

No, all AU teams are bound by the same salary cap restrictions as part of their participation agreement. The only variation is that some teams have the luxury of Wallaby top-ups and the Rebels got certain concessions (or did, I don't know if this is still the case).

you should add a hyphen for the sake of the Tahs fans here :D

So you care enough to question someone's integrity and judgement but not to actually check what they are saying? I did go back and check, especially the first 20 minutes. You might find it interesting to do the same. At very least you'll get to see some good tries from the Brumbies.

It would be easy to check, would it not? And worth doing?

I think this needs repeating - surely an announcement at this time is part of a recruitment strategy for next year?

Re timing, it appears @geerob got a leak (perhaps from Japan or NZ) and was going to publish anyway. As for acrimony, if it were then Tim would have been sacked. He's well respected over here, but the results haven't been there and it is difficult to sustain a professional team with...

So I take it you can't refute ForceFan's assertion?

It shouldn’t be too hard to point out any factual errors.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you appear to be accusing ForceFan of fabricating the numbers.

So if it is biased and has no credibility it shouldn’t be too hard to point out the errors? A genuine question.

So what was incorrect in the stats that ForceFan gave? A genuine question?

Pot, kettle, black. Seriously.

One that I noted and he was rightfully penalised, but nice attempt at deflection Reg.

Pulu got the ball 10m out. Banks hit him 5m out. Banks was not competing for the ball. He had plenty of time to adjust and go low. If he had he would not have hit Pulu in the head (and he may still have prevented a try). It was not deliberate but it was negligent. He deserved the card and the...

In your opinion, which is OK. It just doesn’t align with the opinion of world rugby and on this occasion the protocols were enforced correctly.

At the ground. Gardner is beyond inconsistent

I hope that‘s all it is, but overall the intensity from the first two games is missing.

Wondering if McReight was onside?

It was a lifting tackle (hence yellow) not a spear tackle (in that he wasn't driven into the ground). The protocols are quite explicit, even if we don't agree with them.
