    Super Rugby 2024 General Chat

    4 day weekend yet they still cram all super rugby games into 2 days, why? Both AFL and NRL have games on all 4 days Would have been nice to have a game to watch tonight or even Sunday or Monday

    Australian Rugby / RA

    There is as a lot from Stooke I agreed with as well as a lot I didn’t. He is correct in saying the whole board needs to be accountable but McClennan definitely needed to fall on his sword and he did state that signing Eddie was a captains pick. The whole discussion around women’s rugby and...

    Played 10 for Cottesloe premier grade last week.

    Western Force 2024

    That’s a shame, have spoken to Ollie a few times after games and seems like a great young guy and had a great future. Hard to keep these young guys forever if they don’t get a shot, especially the ones from over East.

    Wallabies 2024

    Yeah I was going to say the same thing, Donaldson would be a good option as a #22 in a 5/3 split on the bench. Could even have White as #21 as their combo has been good

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    Was never a Donaldson fan last year but now he is with us love him. The running game is one thing but I don’t remember the force ever having such a good kicker out of hand, good distance and very accurate. In comparison Lynagh had a little pop gun And what a centre combo we have, I give...

    Wallabies 2024

    Surely not Lynagh, Donaldson embarrassed him tonight, Lynagh’s defence was not great but also being at the game you notice the difference in the kicking game, Donaldson was getting 10-20 metres more off the boot and more accurate

    Round 4: Western Force v Moana Pasifika 15/03/2024

    Coach knows better than me, Kuenzle on the wing was a great call

    Wallabies 2024

    Kerevi is still only 30 (Cooper 35) so we should still be able to get a couple more good years out of him if he can avoid more injuries

    Wallabies 2024

    Yes the non selection of Hooper and Cooper gets all the headlines but the Richie Arnold selection was another shocker by Eddie and then of course he was too arrogant to stop picking him. Dropping Kellaway to start the World Cup was another

    Lions Tour 2025

    The games will all sell out regardless of what price they charge. As others have said this and the 2027 World Cup are rugby Australia’s only chance of keeping the game afloat and making up for years of incompetence so they need to milk it for everything they can

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    Happy with those changes, Kuenzle deserved to stay in the starting side and prefer the 5/3 split on the bench. Big fan of IFL but I do think we missed White's leadership last week so I think this is our best option. Reserve front row still a big concern. Would have liked to have seen...

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    From a force perspective hoping to see Moli on the bench, hopefully White back and starting. Keep Anstee at 6, Kiwi guy on bench and Wells still out Spink back hopefully but go with a 5/3 split and put Kuenzle on the bench to cover 10/12/13 with IFL and O’Donnell also on bench.

    Wallabies 2024

    I think Tom Hooper offers good versatility in #20 or #21 jersey. Frost and Salakai Loto starting should be ok if we don’t have Skelton. If you have frost and Lukhan in the row it should give enough lineout options

    Lions Tour 2025

    Does anyone know of any good pre-game functions before the Brisbane test or still way too early for this? I know there are lots of good packages available but they include tickets to the game which I have now bought separately

    Thanks, I managed to get tickets today to the Brisbane test after realizing last minute it was on sale today Not sure what the point of the ballot is now though ….

    Refereeing decisions

    Some refs seem overly harsh on this extra “roll” penalty at the moment. Half the time the tackler has not released them and they are just trying to present the ball back to their team. The ones that come to mind are the tahs one at the end and James Lowe in Ireland v Scotland this weekend...

    Round 4: Western Force v Moana Pasifika 15/03/2024

    I would put O’Donnell or Leahy on wing and Potter to fullback. Both looked good for under 20s and in pre season, give them a crack

    Round 4: Western Force v Moana Pasifika 15/03/2024

    I thought kuenzle was good, made a lot of crucial tackles I could see watching live. That’s about it should try Potter at full back next week, drop Burey and pick another winger. can’t make any other changes as we don’t have any other options
