    @antipodean Yes, but with an Australian-born father, so eligible for Australia, too.

          @KiwiMurph I'm sure they all get enough time to impart their knowledge, fix issues, etc.

          Definitely clear lines of responsibility too...

          Does Dan Palmer's job consist of getting forwards to turn up to lineout and maul sessions?

            That's a lot of voices in players' ears.

                  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.
