nono... - the 'ouch' was due to having rewad the match report!

ouch

I used to play with a Kiwi Prop down at Parra Colts... every week he would turn up 15 minutes before a game, and someone would say "How're ya doin Stewie"? and every week, he would say " Oooh - Im a but crook, ektually" and every week, we would say "Whadja have for breakfast Stewie?" to which he...

Possible.... But the Front Rowers of today are relatively fit and athletic... I doubt any Prop from my days would even get on the field today! - and Hookers now look like Flankers use to look like... They have only brought it on themselves...

2 days ago, I was able to watch a replay of the 2000 Bledisloe Test at the (then) New Stadium Australia. What was remarkable - apart from realising what a stong team we had then, was 2 things: 1. It was shocking to see how different backline play was just 13 years ago - and how much more room...

I think it needs to be aggressive - but the number is not sacred... I just base it on the width of a good solid passing width for a running backline on full attack... The point being - the players have gotten bigger and faster, and the fields have not.

Mate that is just wrong... Jones has the worst win-loss record of any wallabies manager as far as I know - and it would have been FAR worse had there not been such a surplus of talent in the team... This was the era of Stirling Mortlock turning up at every other post-match interview and saying...

That was my point; There is no way that Hawker put that contract back on the table without downing a few quiet ones with Deans, McKenzie and Carmichael etc...Form aside, whether QC (Quade Cooper) is going to play the Lions was decided before that Contract was re-tabled. It is not really being worked out now...

Paradoxically, Your friend is Right - and Wrong - at the same time. Simply put, the problem is this... We are playing fully Professional Rugby, with extremely Fit, extremely Fast players, with significantly more sophiticated Defensive Strategies, on the same fields we used to watch Lawyers...

No doubt... its a generational thing - natural enough, but just so long as its not overdone.... I am unreconstructed old school, and unapologetic for it, too...

I haven't got an issue withthe Ink - don't like it & don't dislike it... but Grown Men fussing with their Hair - and in (Ma’a Nonu's case; His Eyebrows), is wayyyy to Metrosexual for my tastes... Having said that - the 'gang/ggangsta' nonsense spread about by some high-profile players is a...

I think the ARU should be blockaded in their Offices until they unconditionally submit - and promise to stop &*^%$@# around with the Jersey. Its Green and GOLD, Green and GOLD, Green and GOLD. One last thought on Cooper - when he made his rant lasy year, NOT ONE Player, made any attempt to...

"Quade got absolutely sledged for what he said on television yet Deans has held his position largely unchallenged now even after years of clearly trying to force a game-plan which has not worked and after countless dubious selections for which he was never once called to answer for, at least not...

HOW DID THE BOYS GO LAST WEEKEND?

"Epping , Belmore , Lyneham and Stannies...the reasons for the demise of the first 3 are obvious..." Sorry, (I have been away overseas)... for what reason is this obvious? I must admit, when I read those fixtures, I assumed there had been some sort of CHS 'qualifier' to whittle them down to...

That is most interesting - I look forward to seeing updates of the scores. No love lost in the Homebush High game, thats for sure...

Thats a fair enough - Its not the way I respond to a club, but I think You make a fair point. I know several West Australians who completely dismiss the WF as 'something that comes from the east, which has no place in Perth'... and so I would concedE that the Force need to keep as many friends...

Nor am I - I tend to regard Twitter as being for 12 year old girls.

.... that of course is my point... I really would, genuinely, Love to hear the thinking of their boss at Fox - (who is he, I wonder) - on why he hires a person that his TARGET AUDIENCE do not respect... Its not about cost, thats for sure.

Not something I feel strongly about, but... Whats the issue?... If he was to name his team on a Monday, does anyone thing that may make his team appear any stronger? Are we seriously to believe that the other 14 professional coaches and playing squads are somehow unaware that he has a squad of...
