What, all referees to be supplied with smart watches now? What happens when the wi-fi drops out?

I'm 1.95m and 95kg. But then, I'm not working out like a rugby player is/should be :)

Huh? I don't recall the Tahs "gutting" their list. You think they pushed the likes of Holloway, Swinton, Hanigan out when they've been our best players this year?

I reckon he's been pretty consistent - he hasn't had much eyes/hands on with the squad so really trying out to see what works

Unfortunately, there were, from my outside opinion, factors within the club that also contributed. However yes, I otherwise agree with the statement

As a neutral, it was good seeing a team put the ABs under pressure. Looked like there was pressure all over the park, and the usual cohesion wasn't quite there.

I get that - happy with it being used appropriately. Can't stand when it's done nearly all the time, and aimless. Gordon was really on point with his box kicks this weekend - which is an improvement on past performance.

The caterpillar is a blight on the game. The fact that so many teams get away with keeping it there, or adding to it even after the ref has called "use it" shows WR (World Rugby) isn't really that interested in getting rid of it.

I think in the past, the tactic/strategy? has been just to aimlessly box kick it, and it's so well telegraphed, and there are no chasers that it ends up being pointless. I didn't think it was that aimless when I watched the game - it appears that a little more thought has gone into when and how...

That the one where Bonkers thought that a Wob was targeting the legs in the cleanout that the ref then said "nothing to see here"?

Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?

And is that a Brumbreeze logo I see in the opaque bit under his head?

Yeah, JS has been pretty consistent all along saying that nothing picked for these couple of tests are going to be set in stone - and it's the least prepared he's been for a test ever.

But what if it's the attacking team that caused the reset?

The one thing in that article that just put me off was saying 4 kiwi teams made the Super Rugby semis. I'm pretty sure the Brums are not in NZ. (And this is the wrong thread for that discussion) But I agree re the ref abuse

No real surprises there.

Now that is the definition of hyperbole right there.
