@HuwTindall Real class getting past Kellaway so easily

@paulcullystuff @BMcSport The roof I get, but they must have totally neglected the drainage system - embarrassing to have that much surface water on a brand new pitch.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@BrittMitchell11 Agree 100% re: errors (what do they do at training, exactly?), but I actually loved their attitude tonight, which I don't often say

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@Peter_Fitz Refreshing and accurate perspective. Perhaps we can focus more on remembering Kokoda (a triumph, defending our home) than Gallipoli (a slaughter, at the direction of the British)

@TMFScottP He just needed to answer the question. The Coles CEO did it perfectly.

@KatMerchant14 Easy - dropping weights

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@MichaelPascoe01 @NickMcKim He needed to answer the question, regardless of its merits - just like the Coles CEO did

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@OBBY001 Worst ever season? Rookie mistake. 2021 - winless. Look it up.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@ChristypDoran Rose coloured glasses - he later conceded possession against the French and helped them to turn the game around for a win

@joshua_yuvaraj @SuperRugby @wallabies @StanSportRugby @rugby_podcast @RugbyFixation @Pick_DriveRugby Not bad - except for Petaia

@OBBY001 re-arranging the deck chairs

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@MattRowley I think the Board need to realise that their positions are not ceremonial. They have important legal duties. This blowout and the former Chairman’s behaviour was on their watch.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@HuwTindall He missed an easy kick earlier as well. Poor. Lots of other unforced errors by the team - that’s what really irks fans.

@iainpayten Nobody likes a club folding, as it has a horrible human impact, but I think you'll find that a large proportion of the Oz rugby community feels that 5 teams is too many.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@hughcavill I feel for the players, but unfortunately rugby has not gained any traction in Melbourne. This is not a reflection on the individuals involved. I was at the Super Round last year - modest crowds and 99% of locals did not know about it and did not care.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@BMcSport @haribaldijones Great idea. Here is some unsolicited (& possibly unwanted) advice - don't talk over each other or your guests; don't indulge in neverending monologues; your opinions are interesting, but genuine analysis and insights are more interesting; be objective - not just a cheerleader.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@Pick_DriveRugby @NSWWaratahs Will you re-sign with the Tahs beyond this year? Is the Board waiting to see how the team performs this year before deciding whether to extend your contract? Has the Tahs stint been harder that Shute Shield & MLR?

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@tomdecent Time to move on. Great job, but pls no more stories on this.

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@Biggabs @airlinevideos That is ridiculous

[lukeaustin @lukeaustin]

@paulcullystuff I think they're speaking to the wrong ref. Zero credibility after the Melbourne Bledisloe call and subsequent denial that it was the wrong call.
