Why was Reece Hodge not selected in the original squad @NTA ? Any other reason aside from Eddie being Eddie ?
Same reason Michael Hooper and Quade Cooper or Foley didn't make it i.e. I don't fucking know.
I’ll cut you a bit of a break cos I know you’re hurting about the results right now but I just want you to know I expect better than this in terms of knowledge.

“We need to create a new group of players that have higher standards of training, higher standards of behaviour, higher standards of expectation. That’s what we’re trying to do.”

Kerevi injured? If not a big call to leave him out of the squad altogether.

That was my thought too. I've not seen anything suggesting he was injured, so I immediately came to the conclusion that this is more of Eddie's genius - taking a guy that was easily the best in the world in his position a couple of years ago to unselectable.

5 pt cricket score to Australia but Portugal could easily have a 4 try BP themselves

In fairness to Eddie Kerevi hasn't looked like the same player since he did his knee.

For sure, but a) are the options substantially better? And b) why take away what little experience you have in the squad when everything is turning to custard?

IF they beat Portugal with a BP, that is...
Feast of rugby this evening
-
Ugh why kick? Its Portugal
-
Both these jerseys together are giving me eye ache.
-
Jeez far too casual from Koroibete
-
Portugal are far and away the best minnow.
-
The Portuguese backs are really well coached.
-
Portugal simply fractured the Aus defence there
