        Angus Gardner was on The Roar Podcast - worth a listen to understand what refs actually do away from the field in terms of performance etc.

                        If it was an accident, you'd think he'd show a little concern or remorse immediately after the fact. Looked deliberate to me.

                          Good decision to cash in now. His form has dropped away in the last 12 months.

                          Do you think he'll still be the starting 7 for the Wallabies this year? Or has he been passed by others?

                            never thought, at test level, he was any more than "good" but by christ his effort and desire to win was elite. If a few more of his Wallaby teammates had the same intensity as him they would have done a lot better over the years. Gave absolutely everything for the jersey.

                                      Mostly because every other gold jersey on the park was getting mullered.

                                          Damn shame for the kid but would he have seriously made test rugby at 18?

                                          More an issue for our u20
