    They’ve gotta beat minnows like Argentina while the ABs keep avoiding them I guess.

    Scotland’s two sides bow out: We’ll either have an Irish or South African winner of the United Rugby Championship after both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh were knocked out of the competition in varying fashion. For Glasgow they copped an absolute hiding in Dublin at the hands of Leinster, as mentioned going down 76-14, before Edinburgh were eventually beaten 28-17 at the Stormers. With neither side making the Challenge Cup semis to boot, the double defeat last weekend brought down the curtain on a disappointing season for the Scots.

    @Stargazer Do you know when Coleman becomes available for Tonga? I read an article earlier this year that said he was switching but I can't find it again.

    @Nepia Adam Coleman played his last test for the Wallabies on 19 October 2019 during the RWC (just like Leali'ifano). So he'll be eligible for Tonga from 19 October 2022.

    I hadn't realised that Cheika has David Kidwell on his coaching staff. Defence I assume.

    Surprised to see Tana back coaching with Samoa. Looks like they convinced him back.

    Andrew Goodman is also in there.

    @Nogusta wow - backline strengthening now. Be interesting to see Tala Grey after so long overseas too.

    Do you know if Faumu'uina or Abraham Papalii have signed too, or will soon? They played v Spain alongside A Tuala, Lee-Lo, Nanai-Williams and Tekori last weekend. Wondered why none were back for Pacific Nations.

    Is that another Matthew Duffie, as I thought he (the former AB) had retired?

    And was working for the Storm in a behind the scenes role.

    @Nogusta usually has the good oil, but I must say I’m surprised by this given the announcement earlier this year about retirement

    Matt Duffie had aligned with Samoa but subsequently changed his mind and has retired from the game.

    The others have indicated to Samoa they're available for selection for November.
