Major, once again you are the first person to bring nationality into it. You are the one (as well as the precious Kiwi press) who turned this into an All Black thing. No-one else gives a fuck which country these players are from.

I want a new coach for the Lions tour. I want an Australian to hold the coaching record. For the first time in my life I'm actually barracking against the Wallabies. I know, I know, condemn at will. But it's beyond my control. I woke up this morning soundly disappointed.

Can we use this thread to clear up whether RD is now the most-capped coach or not? RugbyReg what's happening?

If this is Gosper's first public pronouncement on the state of the game, it's pretty dismal. He should have more important things to do.

Ideally we would sack him about 3 days out from the Lions tour. Players love a new face - it gives them energy for a few games before falling back into old habits. Deans won his first game against the Kiwis, didn't he? What's even better, I reckon Link is one of those coaches who turns things...

As has been pointed out, he's a handful of games short of being the most-capped Wallabies coach ever. Knocking off G&GR's own Bob Dwyer. We can't let that happen, can we?

I access all the forums at once through the "What's New" button.

That's the best news I've had all day. C'mon ARU, don't let that happen.

The Gillmeister Box, perhaps?

But it hasn't. The ARU's position is far from clear. And then QC (Quade Cooper) has to accept the offer. Or not. There's some twists and turns left.

Barnaby.

Even if you brought back rucking, you would want the law/rule to be written more clearly than any of the poetry in the Laws of Rugby. The iRB seem to have a Joycean capacity for indeterminable sentences. The Cory Jane case, and the various McCaw cases that have been debated on here recently...

Hang in there Karl, only 17 pages to go and Quade's in the hunjy club. I reckon we lie low for a while, then jump on the next thing anyone says about the situation. When you think that we've still got the ARU to put the contract back on the table, parties to come to an agreement, Quade's...

You see, this is why there's now a rule for creating new threads. Useless ones like this don't make the grade. Someone delete my powers forthwith. 40 views and no comments ......... ya fuckwits.

Yes, I know they're called Laws in rugby but let's copy everything about the NFL model and call them rules. These bad boys are so clearly written they put our "law" book to shame. http://www.nfl.com/rulebook I especially love the "Casebook" which is a list of precedents and examples which...

Just wow, fp. I can't believe you are taking his talent into account in determining the penalty. I think a lot of your posts most of the time, but that kid of thinking is rugby league, not our game.

Charger (and everyone else commeding the ARU on holding on to such a good player) - you're saying there's one standard for Quade and one for Pat McCabe. I can't tell you ridiculous that is. Give me Pedestrian Pat any day of the week. The Crusaders won titles with Caleb Ralph. We need a...

cyclo, you know it wasn't me who was holding the quality of his playing up as a defence. Charger: if the ARU are being that cynical shouldn't we hold them to account rather than give them a round of applause for their street smarts?

cyclo, the standard of his football has ......... NOTHING ......... to do with it. We need a no dickheads rule, and I think a few of teammates would agree.

Mate, there's 78 pages here and I've posted about twice. This isn't Quade-specific, as my post makes clear. A lot of posters on here have called for his contract to be cancelled. I'm a bit more moderate than that, but this is essentially a non-punishment. Maybe Tom Waterhouse will keep a...
