Scorz and KS, I don't think you get the idea of a sports discussion forum. It's like you're saying: "Rugby - it's OK to watch as long as you don't talk about it." The All Blacks get singled out because (1) they're the best team in the world and we're all pissed off about that, and (2) they...

Here's the mark. And here's you.

Is it possible to be a dumb human but a smart rugby player? Cooper, maybe? I think the kind of smarts Hux is talking about might be about general intelligence. Larkham was the smartest guy in the team and Greegs was no slouch in the brain department either. No wonder they outsmarted the likes...

OK, some new information. The opinions of Kepu and Mitchell: They couldn't be much clearer.

Nuci's record as a SuperRugby Coach: Brumbies 2001 (Eddie Jones) top of table; winners 2002 - 3rd in table, runners-up 2003 - 4th on table; lost semi 2004 - top of table; winners 2005 (Laurie Fisher) - 5th Blues 2005 (Peter Sloane) 7th 2006 - 8th 2007 - 4th on table; lost semi 2008 - 6th...

You have a better sense of the absurd than me, Gags. It had me wanting to van Zyl him in the small of the back.

To conclude, though, there's no evidence here of the tackle/ruck distinction that I thought Dam0 wanted to make. If the hypothetical example of pillars/stonewall is at a ruck, then you simply cannot stand in an offside position.

Yep, I'm very conscious of being on my best behaviour. Having said that, I have been bleating to an ever-dwindling circle of friends for years that Conrad is the ABs 2nd biggest cheat. He basically does somethign illegal at every ruck and maul. To balance that, I can't stand Fainga'a for the same...

Dam0 - I haven't got time to look at these clips right now. Maybe later. But this statement I think is odd: By the same token you could say when you make a dominant tackle, there's no obligation to roll away. When a ruck is formed, an offside line is formed, and if you are standing on the...

For me, the situation is that a ruck has formed (or is forming) and the attacking team has guys standing, not joined to anything, on the opposition side of the ball. Is anyone talking about anything different? Since I made the ABs at the Breakdown video, all I have received is a stream of...

As with the previous discussion, Dam0, I think you are using tackle laws in a ruck situation. I don't know which incidents Blue is talking about, exactly, but the ones I think about are rucks, i.e., New Zealand's opponents have joined or are attempting to join the tackle, forming a ruck, and...

Kiap, I think you just stopped 63 pages in its tracks.

Don't get me started on baby boomers. The bludgers have taken all the good jobs and aren't going anywhere. I reckon I'll get 5 promotions in my last 5 years of work when the bastards finally retire. Kiap, those are impressive figures. 500 pages before we got to some facts, but we got there in...

What I'm hearing is this: "I don't understand what you're saying, in fact I don't care what you're saying, but I'm pretty bloody sure that everyone is a fool except me."

OK, I think I've found the root cause.

Gen X are not the parents of Gen Y. Except in Penrith. If you want to have a go at Gen X, make sure you watch Portlandia first. They've said everything there is to say!

Shock Headline: Gen Y Disagree It's Their Fault Guys, if you could read as well as my generation you would have noticed that I wasn't trying to blame anyone. I was making the point that 20 year olds are made differently and need to be managed differently. I'll give you an example from my...

Before Pocock went to Churchie he went to he School of Hard Knocks, Zimbabwe. No wonder he's the best one. I agree about Deans. His man management seems to be non-existent. Can we turn this into a Deans issue? Pleeeeaaaase?

I think I've only posted once in this thread, so I'll have one more go at it. I do think it's a Gen Y thing. I teach Gen Y at university and I'm constantly astounded - gobmacked - at how they feel the world owes them a living. Very often when I fail someone they'll trot out the "But I paid for...
