Why the Wallabies' Murrayfield munching offered a worrying glimpse of the Lions showdown

Thanks Nick. Interesting analysis and I wasn't quite sure if our attack was quiet because we were tired but this seems like Scotland defended well. You've pointed out our defence issues for weeks now...surely the top people are seeing this and going to take some action? JAS is new to the position and can be moved to the back but that doesn't fix the overall defence issues?

Why the Wallabies' Murrayfield munching offered a worrying glimpse of the Lions showdown

The Sua’ali’i at 13 gamble paid off against England, but I think they need Kerevi’s power at 12 and Ikitau at 13. They can easily revert back to this comination.


Would a new defensive coach next year make an immediate impact Nick or has that ship sailed?

'Scratching our heads': NZ pundit urges All Blacks to follow South Africa's model

...like there's anyone who would have made a difference...That's what these article fail to tell us. The real issue is the loss of the second tier who may in time step up. The incumbenta in the ABs have less and less pressure on them. Fergus Bourke, Aidan Morgan, Harry Plummer,....

decent lineup. I'm not conviced by Lozowski though. Slade is in better premiership form, and there's no reason to think Lozowski would be an improvement on Slade's internaitonal form.

England player ratings | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

you're absolutely right that England need to finish in the top 3, but I really think they will. I think the top 3 could be an absolute dog fight, and I don't expect there to be a big gulf between England and whoever wins.

You don't build the strength of you clubs and provinces outside the country. A limited few - and not by choice, of these mega stars don't return to build capacity at clubs and provinces. No! They retire and are employed to render senseless commentary.

Not comparable as neither country has professional leagues of their own or winning percentages anywhere near what the All Blacks have.

The problem is it dilutes the competition at home, so the quality of the rugby falls. The flow on effect of this NZ will cease to produces the players it does because less people are interested, playing, or even watching.

I’d be interested to see what the second or third teams made up of NZ players playing overseas would look like.


I assume you’re including players who are playing for other countries (like Ireland). Because they wouldn’t be eligible to play for NZ for three years and unless they stopped playing for their adoptive countries.


So that leaves you with NZers playing for club teams abroad.


I can so far only think of one player. 10. Richie Mounga.

Correct. But if NZRU has burned through the cash from the silver lakes deal, made from selling a stake in the ABs, what’s left when the cash cow can’t fill the hole anymore?

Have you consulted the crystal ball? The right statement would be the right players have not been identified as yet.

Oh my, my. Goodness champ. You're truly ignorant and a true reflection of the hypocrisy raving in SA. Should not your argument apply to all Europeans born in this country? And don't tell me you SA'can. Do you realize only Europeans claim the name of the country they either colonize or emigrate to. If any person from African origin moves to Europe they will either be identified by the European as black-whatever or African-whatever. And so you will notice - even when, like you, will remain Chinese, Indian will be indian, Somalian will be Somalian, but not you people. You will usurp the language, culture and identity of the people as yours. Don't lecture me about eligibility, identity and adoption. We certainly did not adopt you. Like the Chinese, Indian, you will never be African.

Who's swearing, cursing or bad mouthing?

I agree not everyone has a price but everything has a value and that value shouldn't be determined on where you work. Why would the jersey be less valued because more players are able to fight for it? Because more players have a better quality of life for their family?

Fiji Argentina and SA rely on the clubs to pay players salaries and subsidise them rather than the other way round. For the exact reason that it's an honour and privilege to play for their country. If you think that devalues the jersey then that's your opinion then so be it, it seems to work for all the other countries and FIFA

Sione Tuipulotu's Scotland emphatically end Wallabies grand slam dream

NZ usually scores as many or more tries than their opposition even when losing. Ireland has actually overachieved in recent years up until the last world cup but their challenge now is to maintain that momentum. The likes of England, Australia & even Wales have had their moments in the past but where are they now? Does Ireland have the talent to replace players they lose? NZ & SA always have players to develop as history shows.

If the ABs had access to all their players overseas, they could field 3 or 4 top international teams. That would be a good thing.
