Disappointing to watch, the Rebels didn't show up in SA as usual. Take nothing away from the Bulls they outmuscled the Rebels and just ran over the top of them in the first half.

I agree Heineken, the competition is so much better this year. How has SA reacted to 2 teams moving to Pro12? Most of us are trying to move on here, but there are still a lot of disgruntled Force fans who are trying to sabotage the ARU, the Wallabies, and the four remaining teams, particularly...

alright back into the swing of things for the Rebels after the bye. hosting Jaguares at home, c'mon Rebels! hoping to see DHP back at 15, I think Maddocks will end up on the wing and Koroibete will drop back to the bench.

Rebels will top the Aussie conference. I predicted it last time too :D

Boffelli would make a great AFL player. He has the height, athleticism and a decent boot, and he tackled like an AFL player too :D

Cheika sticks with a light on back row. I think it would have been interesting with McMahon Hooper and Timani starting from the get go also looking forward to seeing Koroibete debut, I hope he gets some ball in space!

Barrett is simply to good a player to not wear 10, despite his kicking going from inconsistent to abysmal in the game against the Pumas. However is there an unwritten rule in NZ that the 10 must take the kicks? Remember all the penalties and conversions the great Stephen Larkham kicked? nope...

hahaha nah that's the Owen Farrell emoji

Hoping to see the Wallabies clock up their first RC win. Would have been interesting with a win against NZ and SA, but alas not the case

Beale was so sure he'd scored the match winner that he kicked the ball into the stands after dotting it down I doubt he'd be doing that again. It would have been marked down as a win against any other team, just not NZ

us Aussies were also surprised at how well Beale played. We know he's good with ball in hand, but we've always criticised his defence and his running sideways. A lot of us had our reservations about Cheika rushing him back into the side, but after seeing the game on Saturday, I'm eating my words...

The Wallabies have been notoriously weak on their support play over the last few years and NZ have been good. it's been a key difference in the 2 teams, NZ secure the ball at ruck time and have multiple players available around the ball carrier ready to receive offloads. we definitely improved...

Malakai Feijoa has signed overseas mate, he's long gone :D

It was actually Ned Hanigan involved in the incident with Retallick, not Hooper

Now that is a game of rugby. I don't mind losing when we play like that. Our big names stood up, Genia, Beale, Folau and McMahon and Hooper weren't bad either. Foley really needs to work on his kicking, I'm not saying we would have won but it would have added to the score board pressure towards...

another great South African TV Series from the 1980s was "Die Love Boet"

You're right mate. it's nathan grey's defense pattern that's killing us. it didn't work for the waratahs and it's not working for the wallabies. it involved Rona, Speight and Kerevi defending in the centres, while Foley, Beale and Folau were having cups of tea. I'm the same now when I watch the...

Apparently Twiggy is meeting with the ARU board today. stay tuned

The Chiefs resigned Dwayne Sweeney for real? Brings back memories of Kelleher, Leonard, Hill, Donald, Masaga, Anesi ...

you are right though, I have been to NZ many times and have seen junior rugby training being run in the afternoons. the number of kids is insane when you compare that to here. Also don't be fooled by the "no one in Melbourne cares about Rugby" line that's being bandied around. It's garbage...
