@SquidgeRugby Dan Carter? At the same/similar age DC had 1 x WPOTY (3xnoms) was leading all-time test points scorer, 3 x SR titles, Top 14 champion (technically), 6 Tri-Nations/RCs, BI tour 2005, 2 x Grand Slams. This at least makes him close!
@rugby_podcast That’s a very different collision if Daugunu lowers his knee, which he doesn’t even try to do. If you lead with your knee and collect someone in the head you’ll end up with a card pretty simple imo.
@Aidan_Baron@LucindaMith Underlying issues are incredible frustration, compassion fatigue, moral injury. As for anti-patient sentiment, I feel like there has been change of sorts. Frustration increasingly directed at JAS’ for poor use of resources. Big change in the last decade imo. Breach still wrong.

@rugby_podcast The way Whitelock spun Tate onto his back so Ardie could hold him up was unbelievable & very deliberate. Whitelock playing like a late career McCaw, has lost the pace and stamina he once had but makes up for it with a world class rugby brain, picks his moments so well.
@GoldDiggerRugby@RugbyAU V anecdotal, I overheard lots of convos along the lines of “I couldn’t name a single player, but remember George Gregan?” Lots of people with no interest turning up based on a legacy from early 2000s. Sad, because if we could get it together maybe some of them would come back?
@Nelsonhdale Imo the way the breakdown is ref’d these days is a minefield, pilfering = huge penalty risk. Forgoing a true on-ball 7 for some extra size in T.Hooper could be a good option in an Aus side that has struggled to match up physically.
@rugby_podcast@HuwTindall The next 5 years will make or break Australian rugby. If the game can’t capture hearts and minds of the sporting public here with a Lions tour and a home RWC, what hope does Union have? It’s do or die. We don’t even have to win. Just play entertaining footy with some consistentcy
