Putting intelligence into the equation is a slippery slope…

There are wingers with different prototypes. What you need is a good balance.

Interesting stuff GVF, presumably these bio changes will also vary across players too, for a range of reasons? Managing or even controlling the physiology of this could be pretty valuable.

Reading the post from @carlos above and it starts to look a lot like ‘mind over matter’ becomes the key to staying on top in the first place and not being dragged into the stress pit mentally.

Honestly, I thought Nasser had been hooked at half time because he was tackling like a wet lettuce. Blowed if I know he gets an 8 rating. I must be missing something because I just cannot see why he's getting picked as our starting rake each week.

Yea I just feel like the slow deliberate on that charge down ( just after the ine out on full) was him kind of being okay time for ne to take control of the ship and get us back on course but so focused on being that rather than doing that ABs not keeping g hus eyes and ears up …yup Gordon is good hopefully he can play 2 in a row in Argentina

Two starting debuts and two timely returns for All Blacks against Bulls

That is the number. AB games are almost exclusively tests now. This is a very rare exception.

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

Nick as part of my ongoing research into reactions to communication I am writing a piece about how extended high level mental and physical exertion depletes dopamine and promotes cortisol. Dopamine controls broad cognitive thinking and thereby creativity, cortisol narrows thinking into survival mode.

On the simulator you are not depleting dopamine as fast as you would when you are under the extreme pressure of “life and death.” Once fear starts to kick in (including fear of failure) cortisol starts to take over and reactions are limited to a narrow band of survival actions. You will go back to the safety of what you know best.

very slow and sloppy on that clearing box kick, as if he HOckings wasn’t even there.

Gordon at 10 is such a positive difference-maker to the attack though

Always impressive when a side is able to put 50 on a team they're considered to be on fairly even standing with.

The result means that a lot more of the things that they’re trying to achieve obviously worked out in this game, a positive sign that they are in fact moving in the right direction.

Wallabies player ratings vs Japan | Flight Centre Series 2026

WBs were great at times and Puma games are going to must watch but I am going to pick on a guy here ( even tho he still played alright and good moments aplenty)

My probs with Lonergan is maybe because he has the 9 on his back and WBs still relatively inexperienced he just loses the feel for the game trying to control it sometimes. That first box kick that went out why did he even slow play down to kick it ? they had just scored then of kickoff make a long break down left then Lukhan with a good charge over ad line good ball and he stops proceedings to box? And then also kick it out on full ..idk am I being harsh ?

BPA is definitely our best hooker and he’s in really good form. Most baffling at the moment as to how limited his role is.

I think most of these ratings are too high but it’s great to see depth and competition for spots really building. Joe found some really good players and developed them and it’s nice to see that Les practices what he preaches and really gives players license to back themselves. When they can start changing gears between that and a more controlled attack they’ll start to threaten the top teams

What utter rubbish! How do you measure the brains of a player. Judgemental with no basis whatsoever and hugely disrespectful.

Yeah! Simply an attritional sport. No coaches fault, and I believe the training methodology and conditioning is scientifically sound. Injuries are just part of the game of rugby. 🏉

Mauri is very similar, but you could describe that more as like the purpose behind something in a spiritual sense ..that’s the only other I can think of JW but I am no te ao Māori expert ..nice that NB and others all over the world picking up on the wavelength the feeling of Haka not just being about challenge and the “ war dance” but the connection to people and each other
