Retiring Tom Cruse lands coaching role next season

“The Officials were clearly intimidated by Galthie’s public threats and intimidation“ is an allegation. You make allegations but you do not substantiate them.

And then you take offense when asked to provide evidence of the truth of your allegations.

The depth of your obliviousness never ceases to amaze.

Got evidence?

If Phillip has signed for Tahs as touted, does he start with Skelton with LSL off the bench? And Canham is throwing his hand up for a test lock spot with his form too. And Blyth is playing to his size.

There are beginning to be good questions to be answered for selectors picking a Wallaby pack. Nella at full bore is critical though as you say.

Carley does need a break and rethink. He was laughing and joking with the French guys after the Dublin match also (he was linsesman). He shouldnt have been near them.

He also single handedly showed why English refs should not be in charge of matches involving Wales. He should have been reprimanded after the Wales - Fiji fiasco where he refused to award Wales a yellow after 7-8 penalties on their own line. A yellow would have meant Wales finish with 14, and Fiji scored the try they needed to win. He made a calculation he could get away with the bias and ‘give Wales a chance’.

Had it not been for The Draw! Ireland would have won the RWC at a canter!

🤣🤣🤣

Just so it isn’t lost: Ntamack deliberately shouldered Thomas in the face breaking his nose. The entry level for a deliberate OR injury causing citing is the higher level of 10 matches. Nyamacks claimed accidental that he was ‘protecting himself’ by following through with his shoulder on the vulnerable head of Thomas. But the WRU doctor (Davies) report was clear: a fully displaced nose break.

Ntamack apologized for the injury in the hearing. Amazingly Ntamack was adjudicated to have acted accidentally but also NOT TO HAVE injured Thomas, meaning a low level ban.

Even though it was crystal clear why club matches could not count for Ntamack (International the following week with all associated unknowns) the French, Galthie and Ntamack publicly screamed injustice when Ringrose ban (weekend before rest week) included club matches.

What was almost as bad was the rugby media accepting Galthie’s nonnense without even reading the written decision. Rugby pundits have a duty to their audience to cover the information needed to inform a position. It generally involves a few minutes of reading every 3-4 weeks.
