The Dropped Kick-Off

The Grand Slam is still alive, and a statement has been made at Twickenham.
The Two Nicks and Natho return to discuss the last week of rugby, including the Wallabies win against England, previewing Wales, and who is the most annoying personality in rugby.

WARNING: strong naughty words cause we're happy boys cause our team won. Sue us.

Where the hell do we even begin?

After a week off to lick our wounds after the Wallabies capitulation in La Plata, Nick W, Nick H and Nath discuss the fallout from Los Pumas, the Wallaroos Belfast loss, Bernard Foley's new look, and look ahead as best we can to the Bledisloe. Until, that is, we go off the rails.

WARNING: coarse language, adult themes and general all around stupidity.

It’s a tour hour marathon this week. With Super Rugby Pacific having a bumper round, Wallabies fixtures announced and the Wallaroos kicking off their World Cup preparations, Nick, Jack and Natho sit down to talk a bit week in Australian Rugby.

The Hot Topics

1. What stood out in that round of Super Rugby Pacific?
2. The Sevens Win – What are our the talking points from Langford?
3. What are our thoughts on the Wallabies and Wallaroos fixtures?
4. Player Depth Analysis – Locks
5. Q&A
   1. CudmoreJock – How do we crack down on the increase in players staying down to get tmo/foul play review? It might be hyperbole but I reckon they’ve increased lots since French player did it in Brisbane last year. Obvious one from this weekend was J. Barrett. Do we look at sin bin or something?
   2. Saint Drogo – Re test locations- It is great to take the game to new markets but should “traditional” rugby locations be preferenced to try to get back fans whose support has lapsed? I think it would be easier to get back a former fan then get a new one.
   3. Jamiesportstwit – Should Brumbies fans launch a #scrumstraightAidan campaign this week after what we’ve seen from the Chiefs recently?
   4. Hick Nartman – Is Mahe Vailanu the second coming of TPN?
6. Predictions for the weekend.

The Rugby Championship is wrapped up, so the Two Nicks, Jack and Car Park CEO & Chair of the Christmas Club Natho come together to answer your questions
WARNING: coarse language
Q&A VII:
GAGR – Reds Revival – There’s talk of Kurtley Beale putting his hand up for the Spring Tour (#justno), as well as possible selection of Tolu Latu, Rory Arnold, and Will Skelton. How many “imported” players are too many? Will this affect the development of the younger Wallabies?
Twitter – HuwTindall – Don’t want to get ahead of ourselves but what experiments do you want to see on spring tour and what do you think Rennie will do? I want to see Perese and the Euro big 3 for the pack – i.e. Latu, Arnold, Skelton. That and get Lolesio some minutes along with Pettaia.
Twitter – Alastair Walton – Any news on Kerevi’s injury? When is the Spring Tour squad being announced? Is Japan a chance to run some of those without a lot of game time under their belts? Who would that be?
Twitter – CactusBack – The players that joined the squad throughout bledisloe etc were part of the squad a month before getting any game time. Whats the schedule in Europe likely to be – mainly when will the euro players join the squad and will it be long enough to actually get game time do you think?
Twitter – Tomato Lemons – TRC 2021 Pens v YC: 🇦🇺 85 v 4🟨, 🇦🇷 81 v 6 🟨, 🇳🇿 55 v 1 🟨, 🇿🇦 71 v 5 🟨: 20-35% difference in penalty count and doubling of the ratio of pens to🟨to the next nearest an indication of how little defending under pressure 🇳🇿 does?
