Joe Schmidt would be the best available pick up with experience for the Wallabies right now. O'Gara has a get out clause for international jobs, but doubt he would want to rebuild the Wallabies if he just turned down doing the same with England.

Faf should have lost the feed on that scrum, was no chance he was ever feeding the ball. He was killing the clock and Barnes pretty much said I'm not making that call to Ardie. Should have given a free kick and called a spade a spade when it was that clear and obvious.

Having the ref mic on the whole time means it has to be investigated by world rugby, every rugby fan knows what's been said. If WR (World Rugby) is serious about racism in sport they need to say something, the fact it uses every women's least fav word needs to be looked at. You take the risk of turning away...

I think every Irish is supporting the Kiwi this time round, normally would have been Boks but they have been so full of sh#t the last year that everyone is turned off them. Even after Ireland won they went straight to we will beat them in the Final, meaning they were so arrogant that that France...

His the only hooker in the squad to be honest, and if true should be suspended. Doubt he will be though. Supporting the All Blacks as well, think they will have learnt enough from Springbok videos this world cup and will get the job done. It would be funny to see this game go to a shoot out...

But SA play anti rugby style as well, the two worst styles of rugby just met, making a close horrible game of rugby.

Still disappointed after last weekend, can't really fault the Irish. NZ played amazing. But sick of the whole NH v SH crap, especially regarding ref selections. They are all professionals and doing there job to the best of there ability. My question for peoples thoughts, does the timing of...

It's no years if your wee ma is a weegie, instantly qualified and can be selected from anywhere in the world. Example: If the other Tuipolotu wanted to play for Scotland and stay at the Tahs, Scotland is entitled to pick him. Even worse is the Tahs have to obey the international window rule...

Also interesting that he was James Lowe house mate, better get use to hating him because the Munster/Leinster rivalry will be drilled into him.

Residency is 5 years, so would be only playing for Ireland under the grandparent/parent rule. Not going to wait 5 years for a 31 year old to make his debut. Just read an article to check, he would need to do the 5 years. Thinking crazy loopholes, would it be possible for Irish...

Smith had the soft yellow, so I think that allowed them to play him through the game. If he hadn't been sent off I don't think he would have lasted the whole 80.

I am hoping SA fail to get up for this match and England cause a upset, just to shut there internet trolls down. They would be unbearable if they win the cup. Can't see it happening, but I can hope.

The discussion about the rotation is really annoying me, Ireland didn't rotate yes. But they also didn't play a full strength test 2 week prior to the World Cup like SA, NZ, France did. They used Romania game as the final warm up, and built momentum. They had the two week break at the right time...

So just saw that the Sharks sold there naming rights. This season they will be known as "The Hollywood bets Sharks" Absolutely shite sounding

Well if you won the semi and they lost you would be number 1 ahead of the final.

To be the best you've gotta beat the best? Beside 1995 that really does not apply to the Boks, so if you get the win and it's against England it's still the win. 2007 the Boks faced Fiji, Argentina and England in knock out stages. 2019 Japan, Wales and England.

While I am guttered that Ireland lost, this side has really improved the standing of Irish rugby To think they won 17 games in a row, that includes wins over NZ, SA, France is a massive achievement. Plus a grand slam. Ireland has only lost 1 game in 2023, 2 games in 2022. That's a record all...

This is BS, Barnes was no where near in favor of Ireland. Smith yellow was soft, but that was the TMO making up for the RM tackle he said was fine. As for the yellow and penalty try, I can't believe any rugby fans is really calling that a bad decision. Barnes was awful at the scrum, Ireland...

I hope your joking? They beat a poor Wales team in 2022, and the Wallabies. Got smashed by Ireland and England, beaten easily by France.

Hansen wasn't even getting game time with the Brumbies, I think his move was all about regular game time. He couldn't have pictured that he would have developed the way he has in Galway and burst onto the international scene the way he did. Also he loves a beer, so he fits right in with the...
