@Daffy-Jaffy got off lightly IMO

Looked like he dropped the shoulder and closed his eyes and didn't see the ball carrier had changed direction

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.

I never understood Wallaby supporters who didn't want him in the team.

Nobody understands Queenslanders. Best not to try.

He has been nothing less than 'very good' for Australia and is often 'excellent'

@MiketheSnow fair
His impact against us hasn't been as pronounced though

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

So is Hooper retiring, or has he signed somewhere else (returning to Japan?)? The last thing I read was that he was even considering playing sevens. Haven't heard anything since.

I don't think he's announced any new deals yet. He did say that he won't be playing Super Rugby
