I mostly tweet about #Rugby. @Reds_Rugby and @Wallabies die hard #GoldBlooded.

@kinson88 @iainpayten @JWDrennan @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @SMHsport @wwos After his high flying effort on the weekend, should the Reds try to bring Israel Leota back to Brisbane? I assume that the NRL will be circling as well.

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Well he better get that out of his game before he comes to rugby. #origin

@ESPNAusNZ why is the NFL Redzone stream in Spanish?

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Given the “easiest” World Cup draw you could ever get and turned that into a pool stage exit without even throwing a punch.

Shame on you Eddie Jones and Rugby Australia. There’s no way Dave Rennie and his sensible team selections produce this result.

@Adamh220 @rugby_podcast Oh yeah nothing. No world class backs like Kerevi, Koroibete and Marky Mark

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

I get why it’s a red but no team deserves to play down a man for 75 minutes (even England) for something like that. Time for the 20 minute red globally. #ENGvARG

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

@kinson88 @wallabies Looks to be an eye on building a squad for 25 Lions and 27 home World Cup rather than trying to win this one.

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Have the Wallabies touched the ball in the 2nd half? #NZLvAUS

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

What is with the 10 minutes before (and after) halftime when we play the all blacks? It’s like clockwork. Just can’t keep them out. #AUSvNZL

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Almost hoping that we don’t come back for the win just so it doesn’t paper over the many cracks in this performance. #AUSvARG

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Well there it is the early back injury that causes the @wallabies to reshuffle the entire backline due to the 6-2 bench strategy. #AUSvARG

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

@rugby_podcast 6-2 bench split carrying only a 9/10 replacement is very interesting/risky. If an outside back goes down early we're going to have to reshuffle the entire backline.

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Carter Gordon to start next week please. #RSAvAUS

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

One of the all time great games from Vunivalu tonight. #RSAvAUS

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Not a great half from the @Wallabies. Springboks ran through them at-will and had endless quick ball to work with. I don’t know what Brett Hodgson has been doing in the last couple of weeks but the defence needs a complete rework.

#RSAvAUS

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

@HuwTindall Take some of Vunivalu’s

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

It’s like the @Wallabies only did preparation for a kicking battle and completely disregarded that the Boks might want to run the ball occasionally. They’re getting cut to pieces. #RSAvAUS

@AMac09459399 It wasn’t a comment on the 6 actual teams, it was more on the finals format. 8 teams making it is dumb and a top 6 would be much better.

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Reds don’t deserve to make finals playing like this.

(That said nobody outside the top 6 deserves to be there)

[Michael Cole 🇦🇺🐨🏉 @michaelcole87]

Honestly thought the Force would put up a better fight than this knowing that it was win and get in. #FORvCHI
