Wallabies v Springboks - Adelaide Oval, Sat 27th August, 2022

[liquor box]

Sorry we are never going to win a World Cup with that attitude from Nic White, have to be tougher than that to win a World Cup. Go play soccer.

Unless he does it in a world cup final and we take advantage of the one man advantage.

 

[Joe Blow]

TT was not terrible. Made a couple of errors but in the scrum that got stuffed it was Sios side that collapsed. TT is close and we all know when hes on it helps our cause immeasurably.
Hopefully Bell is good to go next week.

 

[Viking]

Will this be the first time Rennie picks the same starting team for next week? (or has he done that this year?)

I'd imagine Folau will be dropped for Porecki.

Deserved. But personally, I'd rather Porecki finishing the game, having that security in the line-out at the back end of the game. Maybe they can bring Porecki on just before half time.

I think we showed it’s better to beat the Boks into submission early. We held them out and disrupted their game plan, by the time their wet sail came, the game was in the bag.

FF (Folau Fainga'a) missed a few crucial throws in attack in the first half, if we had nailed them and got more points, it might have been feet up for the second half.

Ikitau is also up in the air, isn't he? Weird that we didn't see any footage of his injury

 

[Joe Blow]

I would bring Bell in on the bench. He is our long term prospect and he gives a little more around the field

I think set-peice will be key though, so who's the better scrummager?

Is Kaitu'u fit? A third option who isn't a kid would be neat.

Would be a good option if he could throw

 

[Slim 293]

Is Kaitu'u fit? A third option who isn't a kid would be neat.

I think Kaitu’u is sitting behind Lonergan and Pollard, and probably someone else I’m forgetting… possibly another Brumbies hooker?

 

[Tomikin]

Out where?

His shoulders in front of his body his arms behind his lead leg.

Let's just agree to disagree, you're clearly not going to change your mind

I really rated him last season and through the should have earned more caps then he did, this years Super Rugby season was disrupted through injury and then struggled to find form.

But I’d take him back, I think he is ahead of some of the others in the squad

They called TT for boring in... I can't remember what happened but that was the call.

Refs are giving him a hard time at the moment... I don't think it's fair but something happening there

Dude clearly doesn't want to be there right now, which is fine. He should go to Europe and take the cash.

Clearly one of our most talented players but professional sport requires a professional attitude.

 

[PhilClinton]

Will be interesting to know more about the Ikitau injury

If he’s gone, does Petaia get the nod?

 

[Derpus]

Probably be Foketi and Paisami.

The best part of that performance is Rennie can now stop fucking around and just pick Noah at 10.

Sorry but where’s this coming from, Christy Dorans article about Tupou owning jetski and putting on weight when injured?
He is a new dad, out of form and was rushed back before ready because of injuries to other props, all this speculation about his personal attitude is a over the top.

Its coming from him half arsing it every time he takes to the field. Didn't read the article and don't care how he spends his money.
