Australia v England: Match III, SCG, Sat 16th July 7.55pm AEST

Do you care because it's not green and gold or because it's red?

I don’t really care because he is a great player. Just an observation…. he’s not playing for the ‘Reds’ tomorrow though.. hope he spills Pommy blood!

Very good!

Also on head gear in relation to Wilson….if you are representing your country would it not be better to wear green or gold headgear as opposed to red.. you can get them in any colour… or is it a case of look at me? Trivial maybe …I agree….

He wears it because that’s what he wore at school playing for Gregory Terrace and has worn the same for the past 10 years.

for mine it makes him an easy target for the referee as it stands out so much - especially if he is being a little bit naughty

Here here……get those bumbling dinosaurs into a room and get some rules changed ….

‘I’ve had enough’: Eddie Jones calls for global summit on future of rugby union | Eddie Jones | The Guardian

England’s coach has said he wants elite players, coaches and referees to meet in the autumn to discuss how to improve an increasingly stop-start game

amp.theguardian.com

If all Eddie achieves is to wind back TMO involvements then thats a pretty big win.

 

[Penguin]

I think that too. It's a pity that now he's an Origin player, it's impossible to sign a player of that profile.

Sailor, Rogers, Tuquiri, Thorn, Hunt, Cross, Ryan, Schifoffski, Walker, Carne..... Not impossible at all.

 

[Marce]

I meant Hodge. The other guy plays a different sport so not available for tomorrows test.

Yes but Hodge has to do the basic well again to win back the confidence of the supporters

 

[stillmissit]

how about getting those "bumbling dinosaurs" all together so they can all be let go from their positions in one swoop.

Good on Eddie, it is what 90% of rugby supporters want. Spoke to 2 mates of mine re game last Saturday and both switched off before half time, one of them said 'this game is for players not bloody officials' and I agree with him.
BTW I am no great fan of Eddie the Eye.....

 

[Joe Blow]

Hodge always performs for the Wallabies. He errs on the conservative side and generally plays the percentages well. He will be fine.

Ever think Wilson wears it so his mum can easily spot him from the crowd?

Are we seriously debating the colour of Harry's head gear?

What Joe Blow said. His basics have never been the issue. His has a more limited skill set than others but generally performs those skills well. In an injury hit team I’m happy to have his reliability and experience to fall back on. If others come along between now and the rwc, so be it. But for tomorrow, I think him and Wright compliment Koro as our strongest back 3 available.

why not? better than trying to discuss anything serious given the current state of the circus - rule book, ref decisions, TMO involvement, financial status etc etct etc

I think he should borrow Sharni Williams’

 

[Marce]

Is it the game sold out??

Is it the game sold out??

Yep

 

[wamberal]

A pretty good effort to sell out the SCG. Not a particularly good venue to watch rugby internationals.

It’s amazing how NSW fans react to a competitive match and a good chance of victory.

Yes but i’d say a big factor in this crowd is that there hasn’t been a Wallabies test East of Homebush since 2018, in that period two have been at Parramatta and one at Homebush.

It depends on how many SCG members turn up, public seats are gone
