Bledisloe Four: Brisbane, 7 November

who else then if we have to wait a few years?

@Kiwiwomble not sure, I think for WR it requires that 3 years post leaving school, otherwise it'd be an easy loophole to get around.

Yes. Unless the rules have changed again it will be like Reece, who needed to wait 3 years after leaving school.

I really think they need to look at Nock, I think he'd fit the AB's game well.
He's quick, has a slick pass, good running game, and a great kicking game.

someone young enough to work on the things theyre not doing right
Suggestions from everybody welcome. I'm struggling to think of any right now.
Doesn't change the point but we a re lacking options I think.

Roe for Waikato has been pretty electric around the ruck with some lovely running and deft passing. I havent seen a lot of him but what I did see was a player with plenty of confidence to play and seems to read the game well. Deserves some minutes in super rugby.

How is TTT? Genuine question. Haven't seen him play this year.
He's on the bench for us at the moment behind Luke Campbell. I think he has been returning from injury - there are no injury updates from the Union so it's been difficult to tell what's form and what's injury in the selections. He knew how to set up the final match winning try in the 83rd minute yesterday though:

Some more on the red card

Not a bad piece from Cully. I didn’t necessarily agree with the no mitigating circumstances line, but we are talking about small degrees of body height and contact point.

At times players are MUCH lower. in this case it wasn't even close to being enough
Concussion is a serious danger to players and rugby itself. the administrators need to be very hard on players that do these head tackles. It needs to be stamped out. Otherwise rugby could in the future maybe be sued for not taking this issue seriously enough

Yes I know. Not sure what your point is though.
I didn’t oppose the RC, it’s more the line that Berry said that there were no mitigating factors.
For me there is an avenue of defence to minimise further sanction at the judiciary that the ABs could take though.

Ofa skates pretty close on a lot of his hits. He's not leaving himself an awful lot of room for error. And this is exactly what World Rugby wants, that target point to drop right down.
Yes, he is a big unit, but he needs to change, not the laws.
I personally don't like it, but at least i can understand the rationale.

I agree. Some serious hip flexibility work might be coming his way from Nic Gill

Why not.
because for me, and this is just my personal opinion, red cards should be for serious foul play. Neither one on the weekend meet my threshold for that.

@mariner4life yeah it's a tough one.
Priority 1 - health and safety of players
Priority 2 - maintain the integrity of a a full contact sport -
Hooper was pretty clear in his press conference, we don't train to tackle the head, so it shouldn't happen in the game, players need to be better.

and i absolutely don't disagree with that. I have a problem with a tackle gone wrong being the same punishment as a full-blooded punch. I am very aware i am in the minority there though
