Fehi Fineanganofo's future decided after agreement with Red Bulls on new NZR deal

And yet Morby scored exactely the same try numbers as Fehi and I personally watched Fehi miss tackles. In fact I’m happy to day that over the years I'm unaware of any rugby player who has bot missed tackles.

Can the Wallabies evoke the spirit of 2021 to rock the world champions?

Yes he had a blinder and was probably my motm for a wb team that has long lacked game managers. Earlier this year, he still shanked a couple per game but he was flawless on the weekend and it made such a big difference. Wbs will win plenty of matches if they actually start being on the right side of the 22 entry ledger consistently.

Why arrogant? He wanted answers on certain players and combinations. This test wasn't related to any major competition so a good time to experiment. Arrogance would have been taking a win for granted. That was never the case, so wind your neck in!

And why would it freak Erasmus out? Honest question. He knew exactly what he was doing, and as always had sound reasons for playing van Staden at 8 and playing combinations that had little game time in over a month.

What will freak Les Kiss out is how quickly, just a few Bok stars turned the tide. The Wallabies won't have the easy start against a pack of Ox, Marx, Wilco, Eben, RG Snyman, Kolisi, PSDT and Wiese in a starting pack and with Marnus vd Merwe, Steenekamp, Sadie, Lood, de Villiers and Hanekom off the bench.

I don't think it was a matter of disrespect. More a case of Rassie focussed on RWC 2027 and having a need to assess certain players and combinations. There was no major trophy on offer, and Rassie has expressed his intention of adding the inaugural Nations Cup to his cabinet. We might also see a level of experimentation against Italy, but the big guns will be rolled for Ireland and France. Not sure why you reference being unbeatable, I never claimed that.

I also don't see the loss as a blow to our pride, as we know that we will likely lose a test here and there, especially when Rassie tinkers with the squad.

Yeah the Suaalii call was harsh especailly considering it was one wallaby off-side, no warnings - yellow.

Meanwhile, four Boks were off-side for one of their restarts and the Wallabies get awarded a scrum.

Didn't say he was a good second row, I gave my opinion on why the writer hyped him up. Of course they will look at him and see if he can be a credible option. There is more, but having the height and mass is certainly a factor.

No, the others aren’t better than him. Carter missed a couple of tackles that arguably cost us the win in Soweto. Moorby has also been less impressive in his most recent appearances. So Fehi has to play. He has never really been given a chance with the All Blacks, and I honestly don’t understand what Rennie is doing with him when there is a spot up for grabs in that No. 11 jersey.

NZR went to great lengths to reach an agreement with Newcastle… the ball is now in Rennie and his staff’s court. We have fast wingers who could bring a very interesting mix alongside Jordan. Carter and Moorby simply aren’t strong enough players to be starting for the All Blacks. Squad players, in my opinion, but no more than that.

so you are assuming the ABs lose to the Wallabies in pool play, and play England instead of the Boks? interesting. (and not necessarily wrong).

Problem for the Wallabies, is we keep waiting for them to turn into the WC team they potentially could be - but for one reason or another, after one good game they then turn to custard the next.

Best thing that could occur for NZ Rugby is for the Wallabies to start beating them and even winning the BC, because playing the best, makes you better and think that is what the Bok series will have done for the ABs.

JEN, FIRSTLY I SUFFER FROM BLURRED VISION SO YOUR STATEMENT IS SIMPLY IGNORANT AND WE ARE DOUBLE WORLD CHAMPIONS. RUGBY UNION IN AUSTRALIA IS AN ELITIST SPORT BUT IN SA IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. AUSTRALIA IS A FANTASTIC COUNTRY BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE WORLD CUP.

The national team needs ‘Ports’ far more in the number three jersey than it needs him at number one

Ports has a brain and street smart. He can fight fire with fire unlike, Tosi who lacks gray matter.

Probably right but that was an impressive 65 minutes and I like the mix of power and width they are bringing to their game. I also rate their 4-8 - with Canham back as well could be very competitive.

Funnily enough the WB lineout also worked best in the Lions series with Skelton [a non-jumper] in it. Good with LSL too.
