There was a decent amount of inconsistency in the refereeing (not unusual in rugby I guess). The Kiwi’s got the favour of the bounce in that regard (warnings upon warnings etc.) but the young Aussie’s did get a bit loose on discipline. If they’ve learnt from that they could have a great year. The captain Doyle, Manglesdorf, Langi, Sharples and Grover were all outstanding. The 7 looked a bit at sea in general play and lacked punch but was great in the lineouts. The 12 was rock solid on both sides of the ball, making meters and taking meters.

Dionysus, more wine, less whine. You seem to be uptight.
Don’t turn away: 2025 will be a great showcase of young talent and a changing trend in world rugby
Dog act, cheap shot, flat track bully. Would he try this on a similar size player? Not a chance. There does seem to be a lot of willful ignorance about the dangers of this sort of thing from our Kiwi brothers. Officials must stamp it out and there must be complete consistency in the assessment of such incidences.
The latest assault on Tom Lynagh was shocking. Super Rugby is offering him no protection or justice
there is residual benefit from the funding provided to the Tahs in 2019 or any other year. Due to the misrepresentation of the ongoing viability of the Rebels there is no residual benefit from funding to the Rebels. In that sense the funds have been lost. There will be no future return on historical support (investment in) to the franchise.
'Disappointed, inaccurate, misleading': Rugby Australia slams Rebels after being sued for $30m
Are you deliberately dense? If the true state of the Rebels balance sheet was disclosed the funding would not have been provided to them. Instead it would have been allocated elsewhere. Now there is no legacy benefit of the funding provided to the Rebels, in that simple sense, the funds were lost, there will be no future return on investment.

The Saffa’s set a low bar for what can be considered fair play. It’s now obvious they think all other nations would stoop to their subterranean depths of low. The Saffa’s are the limbo dancers of fair play, they set nez standards in low.

I wonder how important free to air actually is. Particularly when you are talking about next gen players and viewers. The youngsters consume content via social and or streaming platforms. I doubt either of my teenagers ever watches FTA tv,

The rebels didn’t succeed, putting 4 teams of transplanted NSW and QLD lads there wouldn’t change that.

Is anyone else alarmed that they have already dipped into the $80m loan facility to the tune of 50 large?
Rugby Australia announce $9.2m deficit, board member fails to be re-elected but coup falls over
The shoulder line isn’t the top of the shoulder, sadly i can’t add a diagram to show it… more to the point though, even if you argue it was low enough, there was no attempt to pull out of the tackle and the both angles look quite consistent with World Rugby definition of a shoulder charge. Either way he is playing with fire, ironically the big hits on small 10’s is probably the thing that stops him playing test rugby this year. Too high risk for test match rugby. I’m sure the Kiwi’s can’t stomach losing more games by small margins due to high shots.
The Wrap: Rebels young gun rockets out of Wallabies contention, and why Samipeni Finau's 'brutal' hit on Edmed was fair game
There is a lot of confusion about this terminology but shoulder on shoulder contact is illegal . The frame work from the World Rugby website would indicate the tackle was illegal on a number of grounds. Zero effort to pull out of the tackle and tucked arms being among those.

Shoulder on shoulder contact is high, it should have been a penalty. Timing was OK, but geez, any small deviation and i would hate to see the outcome. The same tackle through connecting through the ribs would be more impressive and more effective.

Come on, you’re telling me that wasn’t shoulder on shoulder.

Shoulder on shoulder contact is high, even in the professional game. It should have been a penalty, I don’t think there should be debate about that. Given the fine margin of error he tempts and this players tendency to line up this type of hit it won’t be long before he spends several weeks on the sideline. If I was coaching him or playing with him, that would concern me. As a side note, he only attempts this type of hit on non NZ players, what does that say?

It wasn’t a bluff but there might have been some slight of hand.
Brumbies make it 12 straight against Tahs as Bell hobbles off in worrying sign for Wallabies
91 starting team was 9 NSW and 6 Qld…. what’s your point? Surely we can get over this silly parochialism and pick the best 23.

It’s the biggest market…… it really is that simple. they need to find a way to make the turnstiles spin.

There is very limited depth in ACT pathways. Just look at the scores in the U16 national comp last year and ponder why SOS messages were being sent to boys at boarding school who wouldn’t get anywhere near the NSW U16 team.

Fraser isn’t a test match 7, Gamble is. If you don’t understand this then I can’t help.

Thanks for the deep analysis. Obviously a lot of them are test standard. Holloway, Hannigan, Gamble and Bell are. Jorgensen is but perhaps need time. The problems are execution and belief.

You have to feel for Bell . A reoccurrence of the same injury, is it 2 or 3 x raises so many concerns. Fingers crossed for the best and a speedy return to play.

The Pathways are so dumb, they go super narrow, super early and are slow to recognise late bloomers etc. The young good players simply don’t play enough to progress as players vs their peers in the Northern Hemisphere. The gap will only get worse.
