He acted like he scored
i thought he looked sheepish until other came to him to celebrate
Just watched it again, I personally don’t think Coles reaction had anything to do with the actual decision and how the TMO and ref dealt with it.

But fuck, maybe I'm just in the minority here amd out of touch, and maybe all the average punters really wants is hot chips and a crappy pie. Its certainly the lowest effort and if the $ aren't there from changing then I guess why would they?
The sheer cost of securing the contract means they sell the cheapest food at the highest possible mark-up.
I load up before these days.
I would too if I was going with the lads, but would be nice if it was a better experience for the kids. I like the HT load up as a concept.

Interesting what Kearns said about excessive state influence in Aussie rugby.

If it did, then rugby is truly fucked

@Daffy-Jaffy Good video, Kearns actually sounds intelligent outside of the commentary box. Made good points I thought.

And this is the thing - Australian Rugby often prides itself on being largely private school, educated, and erudite.
So why does Kearns carry on like a one-eyed flog in the commentary box? It might appeal to certain members of the cognoscenti, but FFS it just sounds like bogan rubbish. And I'm hardly in their Private School wheelhouse.

maybe he and Marshall have some kind of bet on about who can be the worst Comms man, especially when both seem to offer great analysis away from the Mic.

Sotutu changed his positioning in the scrum to enable a faster pick from the scrum.
As soon as the All Blacks pack engages on the Wallabies’ 5m line, Sotutu immediately shifts from the conventional number-8 slot to bind between his openside flanker and loosehead lock. This enables him to pick up Codie Taylor’s channel-1 strike before the Australian back row has even started thinking about defending New Zealand’s first-phase attack; before Ned Hanigan knows it, the Blues loose forward is attacking the 10m of space on the short side at pace.

"bind between his openside flanker and loosehead lock. "
How fucking revolutionary! Like we never did that at schoolboy level in the fucking 1980s ...

@booboo You see it done at pro level very often?
Doesn't seem like something new, definitely seen it done before. Sotutu was lightening quick though.
Quick enough to play 12 you reckon?

He's going to have a tough time getting past Jordie and Clarke and whatever other shiny new wing people decide is suited to the midfield.

As long as Ardie is happy to transition to 13.

yes
I also thought they banned it a few years back. But that must have gone by the wayside
