when all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit, I must remember there’ll be days like this

@Reds_Rugby Huge signing. Go well.

@VictoriaSask Excellent player. Terrific fella. Go well in the 2026 FIFA WC.

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@Peter_Fitz excellent article on Mitchell Pearce. Terrific footballer. Much maligned human. If you don’t drink smoke gamble eat sugar and doubtless meat pies and I am certain that you don’t drive a Holden car around Mosman - what do you do for fun?

@Rugby_Scoop Highlanders 23 went low in the tackle but 16 remained upright at the point of contact. Tough call but would have been much worse an outcome if Frost was 6 foot rather than 6 foot 9.

@seanny202 read your opinion piece on wwos feed. Super excited about the 2026 rugby season. Got my tix for Christchurch. Go the Tahs! Im going to throw in a smoky for Wallaby 1000 = Tom Lambert. Watch the Tahs v Lions replay and see how well he went. Lambert, Kailea + Nonggorr 👍

@Peter_Fitz in the context of the Wallabies last tour game v Les Bleus this weekend, is there a French expression that you know of that broadly resembles “reclaim our pride”?

@agrifi7 big year for Kiama with the Knights winning the Group 7 League and the Cows winning the Illawarra Rugby comps. Go the mighty Berry-Shoalhaven Heads Magpies in the Under 18s but!

@iainpayten Lonergan has a super accurate bullet like pass from the base of the ruck & scrum. His kicking game is superior to McDermott, on par with Gordon, but has the added advantage of being an additional goal kicking option. Would like to see him start with Donaldson at 10.

@ben_damon Vale “Aussie Joe”.

@wallabies All class.

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@seanny202 love your passion in commentary. Still in shock from early this morning. So proud of our Wallabies. What a performance. I was just hoping they could make the score respectable in the second half. As Buddha Handy used to say, “Go you good things”!

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@Peter_Fitz wonderful match report in this morning’s smh. Thank you. So proud to be a die hard Wallabies fan. What a performance. Like many, I was just hoping we could make the score respectable in the second half. Still in shock!

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@seanny202 disappointed that at the end of tonight’s BTP neither Morgan nor Matt added to final words on the coverage of the Lions tour the passion, professionalism & perspective you brought personally. So often you expressed exactly what us punters are thinking & feeling. Thanku

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@AnalystGus Interesting question. Aki did not have a happy game last night.

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@MorganTurinui Harry Wilson matured and grew in confidence as the Wallabies captain during the Lions series, justifying coach Schmidt’s appointment. My pick for captain before the series was Alan Ala’atoa but Wilson was a worthy choice. He will develop further on the SA tour.

[The Pits @JohnPitsonis]

@tomdecent Is it universally mandated after each test series that an independent review of the wickets and umpiring etc is conducted? If so, the report on this series will make for interesting reading.

@seanny202 O’Connor should have been in the Wallabies squad in the first place, for mine. Would love to hear Larkham’s thoughts on your idea of switching Wright to 10 if you haven’t asked him already 😉
