But he was second fiddle to Noah, and lack of consistently using a skill will see some deterioration in performance.But he's also not kicking at the same success rate he was five or so years ago...

The thread of this discussion started with a comment by @Blue about depth at 6 and 8 going into the RWC27. "Especially another real 8. Back row attrittion is always an issue. Going into 27 you need to know who is third in line at 6 and 8. Not a stop gap guy."I agree with what a couple of others have said in that he has played very little footy in the past 12 months or so and needs to prove himself again and throwing him into the fire again the AB's and the Puma's would not be a wise move. We have depth in his position at the moment with Wilson, Valetini, Gleeson, Hooper, NCDC etc. Cale will need to get some match fitness and Super Rugby Aus would be a fantastic place to do it. I hope he 'shoots the lights out' there and reminds everyone of his potential.
The Coach makes the decisions.If you were watching you'd know it was a leadership group decision.
Not sure about that. He was selected for his kicking and goal kicking v Lions and didn't come up trumps. As a 'pure' 10 he is just a shoveler. Anyway, I'm not Joe, he rates him for some reason.I think with him as a pure 10 and kicking his goals we probably take the chocolates in that one.
Yoda, I assume you're talking about Lynagh as per usual. I don't how it's difficult to realise that he's had 5 games (started 3) at test level, which is not really a big enough sample size to work out if he can kick straight at this level. He missed 6 kicks in total at Super Rugby. Law of averages suggests that he'll turn this around pretty quickly.Not sure about that.

For sure it’s not what rugby contact is about. Used to happen constantly in Aussie Rules, especially in the teen comps that I played in (because I was doing it a lot) but I don’t think I have ever seen anything like that sling tackle in Rugby where there is a pretty well understood yet unspoken honour system to contact.I thought Kwagga's rag dolling of White was against the spirit of the game. Pretty predictable outcome.
Also, they're enver beating the allegations:

World Rugby don't have much say on these things.I really wonder if Doleman was thinking that law 9.18 was not infringed (lifting and dropping on head) that it was all good but law 9.11 is the general catch all about not placing another player in danger. I don’t think he’s been sanctioned so it appears World Rugby agree with him. Never want to be on the same side of an argument as Doleman.
What’s law are sling tackles under though?I thought Kwagga's rag dolling of White was against the spirit of the game. Pretty predictable outcome.

Just saw another one. 65th minute, Kwagga on Ikitau, lifting in the tackle and driving into the ground. Just seems unnecessary and intentionally trying to cause injuryYe
I noticed it a lot. The Boks bringing dirty back. The tackle on white wasn't called for and knocked white out. I know it's rugby but it's a dog tackle. Lifting tackled players legs up and twisting them happened 3 or 4 times in the game. There is no way anyone should be doing that to any players on the ground.
