I have had similar conversations with Kiwi rugby know-alls (is there anyone in NZ not related in some way to a former AB?). It does seem to be based in truth that Dean inherited a great Crusaders team and had the good glory of being their coach. He had the cattle to start with. This is what...

cheers for that. when I read the old and new law phrasing side by side, something seemed amiss. If I had time I would place them side by side like CD did but work must be done. I am trained to pick words to pieces and interpret laws literally. Any ambiguity sparks my interest, but I guess It is...

CardiffBlue posted the details (that were moved from another thread) from the IRB amendment to this rule and it specifically states that 'set' is NOT the instruction to engage. This expressly states it is up to the front row to engage when they feel ready. CB, Can you please put that detailed...

Cardiffblue, this followed on from a detailed post you put in the other thread... with all the details of this new rule... so I will move my questions to this thread also. Look, I am no expert on IRB amended rules, so can anyone here, maybe CardiffBlue, consider the follow questions. How can the...

Yes! And we have an the best AIS training center there - Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) - Altitude Training Center New South Wales Institute of Sport. If the lads want to sport their speedos they can do a few laps around the lake. I have never heard of Rugby using it. If 'management'...

I was certain someone would get that pun :))

There is far more to most of us than meets the eye, such is the joy of forum anonymity.

Wet and altitude, Australian rugby needs to start training for both. We need to have gear on hand for both. We don't. The U20 Argie lads were wearing skins while our lads shivered in the mud. As I have said elsewhere, I don't think the Scots train any place where they can work on their tan in...

Thank you, obviously I don't need these glasses I need binoculars

...but three full stops is a punctuation mark... called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot.

Re social buttons.... Can we have little individual twitter buttons on article pages. The G&GR Social pages certainly lends itself to such a feature. That way we do not have to cut and paste the url to send Cats witty critique of tweetland into twitter.

mock mock mock away ( but I think Smithy knows what he is talking about here) I like aggressive forward play and will defend it accordingly and I don't care if the cool kids disagree with me. There is way too much talk of banning this or that which I do think is stupid; shoud we all go...

Oh well, the moderators are the like the refs, we may not always agree with their decisions but we have to accept them. Even red cards. Given all the work CD put in, it may have been a fitting penalty to allow the charade to continue, even if under the law of 'enough rope & hanging'. CD was...

Looking good so far.

With Interest!

Are you sure? As many of the postings over several months had near perfect occasional broken Spanish into English grammatical errors. *Very* hard to pull off. Regardless, shame he is gone as the postings were interesting regardless of who it *really* was.

gee wizz sounds like the best and often the only course of action is rest.' This might see Sharpe hang about a bit longer No Horwill or Sharpe... our line outs might lack some much needed direction.

Have we lost our resident Argie? I have been enjoying reading up on Sth American rugby. Did anyone see the Argentine IRB junior game against Australia? The Argies looked darn strong. Their scrummage was lovely to watch even though it laid waste to young Australian men. I hope they make the...

I know it was not on and I am not happy foxtell. All set for a full international rugby festival on the tellie and they forgot to show the last game. "grumble grizzle bitch and moan"

Gidday, just found this gr8 thread and as we plan to go over for the october game at Rosario reading with interest. this talk of Brazil reminded me of these very funny adverts They are proof that Brazil wants to promote rugby, in its own funny way of course. :)
