How Nations Championship is changing shape of the game - but let’s keep a fair maul contest

The competition has more ball-in-play time, more points and more tries, but the ease of scoring from close-range lineout drives may be exerting undue influence on games.

The Springboks are rightly favourites for the World Cup but don't bet against the resurgent All Blacks

New Zealand may have been bested in the RGR Series, but Dave Rennie is building a side who will push the Springboks all the way.

Jake White points to Springboks example after Fiji fall to Ireland

Since Jake White has taken over I have been impressed by his stated vision for the team. The following quote however, gives me much pause:

“We’re not there yet, we took a tap penalty. Having been a South African coach, it would be nothing better than to say take the scrum, put them under pressure, get a yellow card against them and then we’ve got 10 minutes against 14 men.

'One-dimensional': Rennie weighs in on attacking performance against Wales

You think they should have overridden the coaching team?

Do you think Beauden was chosen as captain because he would think for himself or follow orders?

They’re bounce back for sure. This game was the coaching team regressing into the same sort of pattern Razor n Co found themselves doing.

They’ll spot that and it will be back to full bore next weekend.

Wales cling on to end 73-year wait to beat the All Blacks

I’ve seen 320 tackles with 27 missed. On 35% possession and 43% territory

It's seems to be ripped from the Opta stats. If it's true, then it's ridiculous

The won some big moments in the last 10 for sure. And the reverse was always expected of players like Moung and Leicester, they’ve got to try to be match winners but it’s far too much to ask of them not coming through Super Rugby (and being injured).

Wales cling on to end 73-year wait to beat the All Blacks

Congrats to Wales, hopefully my boys will be better for this. Incredibly courageous defense from Wales and also France yesterday. Wales deserved to win, hats off to them. For my beloved ABs a sad day, but we will judge if its a blip or something more serious next week against a resurgent England. It’s been a long injury-riddled season but no excuse, as all teams face this now days. At least it’s nice to know that there will be many people so, so happy in Wales. Hopefully they will rise again now.

Not at all, three times (really only twice looked like scoring though) they held players up over the line, that was the luck they needed.

Also if they hadn’t of stopped those tries they could just have scored again themselves. It was great work don’t get us wrong, but it doesn’t invalid or making it more important than the prio 60min of good threatening rugby. One would even call your take disrespectul of Wales and more anit AB than anything else.

That Bok side went on to demolish France in the same fashion using one less player. It certainly wasn’t as bad a performance as this one.

Even Argentina at home was worse than that following one.

You’d like to call it a D team but the reality is that the coaches consider some of those players as their A team.

'Feels like you're playing 16 or 17': All Blacks captain Beauden Barrett on loss to Wales

“couldn’t convert a number of chances” is an incredibly ungracious way of saying “were not allowed to”

Dave Rennie's short response on Richie Mo'unga's performance against Wales

Mo’unga is a world class 10 and Rennie needs to persevere. I see the best option as Mo’unga as 10, Jordan at 15 with Love coming off the bench. Beauden Barrett and McKenzie are not consistent, and Barrett has (sadly) past his use-by date.

Dave Rennie's short response on Richie Mo'unga's performance against Wales

Well said. Richie Mo’unga gave it a go and made meters in not always great positions. Opportunistic people blaming him when he actually played well. Kyle Preston should have started as should have Ethan Blackadder. Ethan should have come on way earlier anyway. George Bell made an impact and I believe should be in the Test squad.

Wildkard saying the Scarlets have been really good this year. I wouldn’t put it past Wales putting as much on Aus as we did.

Yeah that was very painful too but losing to the No 10 in the world, is just utterly demoralising - it should never have happened - they only just beat Japan by about the same margin last week - who were then slaughtered by the English today. Its bad JD, very bad.

Agreed on all points… although I'm not really bothered if Fisilau or Earl start. Earl playing the first 55 and Fisilau and Pollock coming off the bench works well.
