Jordan Petaia returns as Les Kiss reshuffles Wallabies for Springboks

A mature Perese will be a great addition and yes JOC easily the best super experienced 10 to have as backup. Donaldson will eventually get shown up.

He’d make a reasonable winger? Imho, he’s a liability at fullback…defence is ordinary and doesnt often read the play and gets caught out of position….he isn’t what I'd want as the Custodian…

How do WR control the replays?I am sure the broadcaster can still show or not show what they want.The TMO,of course,is different as they will request what they want to see.

He is on the bench. Brodie was mostly one up during the games where Eben was playing him. But the form of Eben these years is amazing.

Tom Wright on one leg is better than anyone else we have .

Suaalii is untried and Jorgenson has not impressed . Donaldson and Campbell are not test class .

'World class': Neil Barnes weighs in on Richie Mo'unga's Test return

Moorby hasn’t shone yet. He looks to be finding his feet. The end of year tour will be a good test for him.

But he might not have what it takes. He may be best suited to the ‘mid week’ All Black team.

Agree, Jordan is the best placed candidate for a ‘pure 15’. It’s just he seems to be more effective at 14.

Also, Moorby has not shown the same level of class in internationals as he has in Super Rugby, yet; but maybe he never will.

'Not good enough': Rennie highlights key area of frustration after Boks defeat

The All Black forwards improved in 2022 when Ryan took over. Unsure if sharing the role, do a degree with Barnes this year, is part of this year’s decline?

Just because a coach is successful for a while doesn’t mean their thoughts don’t go ‘stale’ with the players. Ryan has been coaching the All Blacks for about four years. Maybe his time is up?

'Entirely different to what the referees asked for': All Blacks assistant on South African TV director's influence

When it comes to SA vs AB I am impartial,whatever you may think.This comment was only about Rassie’s video and of course I wouldn’t expect him to pick out the mistakes made by the opposition.My comment was to highlight that if you go through a video of a match,just looking at decisions against one side,you will always think the ref is favouring the opposition.If the opposition coach did the same thing,he would also find they were against his team.

Rugby is a bloody hard game to referee and a ref has to make a split second decision,not watching 10 replays to do it.Naturally there are going to be errors,but generally they do not favout just one side.

Super Rugby Pacific reveals 2027 fixtures as one scheduling move stands out

Good to see they have pushed it up to 16 scheduled games per SRP season. Hopefully in 2028 they will schedule a full home and away round robin, so 18 scheduled games each.

All teams to play through the Bledisloe weekend, as the Blues and Reds are next year, and starting one week earlier will give SRP the minimum professional footprint, (same as URC) give more player development opportunities, and significantly improve the profitability of the teams, given their costs will remain largely the same while their gate takings and commercials will improve.
