Nadolo will be like 38 years old, and 160kg.

TBH, I don't hate the guy and, while he's not the greatest comentator, I'm sure he knows more about playing rugby than me. Think he just runs out of something to say about the game at hand, then starts filling the space with generalities - which unfortunutely is all too often the result of the...

Yep. Timmy Horan is the worst. Whenever he starts talking, I use the mute button or fast forward when watching a set of games on delay.

You say not true, but your post partly backs up what I say. They're not as interested in seeing women in this space, even in the lighter version of rugby sevens. Registered women rugby players are well outnumbered by registered men rugby players in every country. Let me make that clear...

My hot-take theory (based on no data) is that Saffa rugby remains bound up in a muscular masculinity "vibe" that in a lot of other places has faded over recent decades. They're not as interested in seeing women in this space, even in the lighter version of rugby sevens. The other major rugby...

I'll take your money in that scenario, WOB. Tonga did look good in their limited opportunities last month. That's the reason I name checked them. Also in their favour is they would only need to beat one other non-qualified team to the Olympic punch in an Oceania tournament. Arguably, that...

It's also significant that three of the "top four excluding France" are from Oceania. If it stays that way, there'll be four Oceania teams at the Olympics, ... with the fourth likely being the team that beats Tonga ... or is Tonga.

How many?

Late scratching, Kaitu'u started instead.

What is he, fifty?! Greybeard still going strong!

Two stuff ups by Prior in two minutes ...

First half Reds looked a chance. Some reasonable plays and hope, at least. 2nd half, blown away.

We all just end up eating them porky pies. Goddamn pork pies.

Reason they're rejigging is trying to recover the failures. NZ keep winning but it hasn't prevented a slide in interest. England bailed on funding but the replacement Team GB is still struggling. Only European tier 1 really engaged now is France (possibly Ireland might step up if thrown a...

January is for cricket - it's the hottest month. They could possibly look to move the sevens to the slot given to Hong Kong 2 months ago (when we won) - i.e. early November. Open the Series before Cape Town and Dubai. October/November was also the slot used for the Aus 7s ten years ago when the...

Absolutely should be moving the date if the event is to survive. Too hot for spectators as often as not (also for players, even with 15 minute matches). Temps in January also too high in Melbourne for tennis ... but they're stuck with it for scheduling reasons.

Take the points? Win 42% as captain? That's not all on Hoops, TBF, and I'm sure he goes to the RWC. But it is not all about him either.

Pffffft ... matchday program stats. And the 'Rock' is just another aging star invested in being 'big'. Ain't got nuthin' on Kevin Hart!! ;)

He is more than 1cm taller. But, yeah, a player's bio stats aren't the selector. Samu does bring different strengths ... and weaknesses.

So is that replacing the AON Uni 7s? Maybe UQ and others bailing in 2022 wasn't a good omen for the university concept...
