I find the kiwi derbies faster paced and more skillful than the Australian ones, so would say I enjoy them more. I'm emotionally invested in some Australian sides obviously so tend to gain more feeling from some Australian matches. I view the competition as a collection of teams tho, not as an...

Rugby Australia standing someone down: " we believe in the presumption of innocence and respect the right to a fair trial for the defendant in a system that is far superior to our own internal processes - that's why we are not just outright firing this player" Rugby Australia standing someone...

That's an interesting take, and one which several wallabies have echoed in interviews over the last 5 years or so. You'd think getting repeatedly embarrassed everytime you step foot in new Zealand, having lower and lower win percentages against opposition and slipping down the rankings would be...

Doubt

I think Eddie's main challenge is making his players care about, or at the very least aware of, the laws of the game. Coz right now, there's a perception before we even get on the field that 100% is costing us games.

Pretty fine line between putting someone into hospital and permanently diabling them or killing them, but I guess that's one way to go.

Lol

Most of the sciences are fine. A lack of understanding of the scientific method, and a general misinterpretation/misuse of the word "theory" by journalists and alumni from the University of Facebook probably has the biggest impact on perception of how the sciences are travelling atm. But...

Oh, my bad... I didn't realise that. Can you link me to their youtube channel?

Yeah, I am suggesting those specific games aren't played at Lang park, just Canberra Townsville, Goldcoast, (unsure about other grounds tbh)

Is there some benefit to be gained in playing home series against other teams such as Japan, Samoa, Fiji and italy? We are forced to play NZ, south Africa and the home nations every year, and in the current times I feel we are learning how to lose and/or maintain any consistency. There is...

Totally agree with the age thing from Ignoto - plenty of top line coaches across a wide range of sports have excelled into their 60s, including Eddie Jones with his own winningest winning for England in their winningest period. BUT 92-3 is still unforgivable and he can just stay fucked off...

Woulda used stan if I could, but I can't. Same message as above, same vibe. But I stand corrected - it's actually just the northface clothing that changes things like the words, the sounds and the vision.

Yeah, granted I just wasn't there - but this is the perspective I got from watching it remotely: That just doesn't look like a crowd that's devestated that the wallabies lost. Here's another video , but different commentary. Just in case some one might think that commentary completely...

I'm genuinely envious that you got to see something in person that I couldn't - I'm not gonna lie. The tv footage contradicts your statement as it was most definitely a sea of black jerseys. The crowd noise was vastly in favour of the all backs and the all blacks themselves commented after the...

A little impish, for sure. That last match crowd was overwhelmingly in support of the All Blacks. I do not believe offering up the wallabies to lose against visiting teams just to appease (and gain the money from) the expatriots of whatever visiting nation is a long term solution. Best we...

Melbourne is a home game for new Zealand.

I'm still a bit bemused why the New Zealanders have two home games in 2021, two home games in 2022, and are getting another two home games in 2023. I get the need for cash at rugby Australia, but surely winning the fucking thing back and gaining the smallest ounce of respect back is worth some...

NH referees do not police obstruction.

Possibly because Rennie sees light years of difference between Valetini and Wilson, whilst the difference between White (destroys any semblance of referee relationship and kicks regardless of whether the rest of the team are ready for it or not), Gordon (let's just guarantee that we get a...
