    Lions Tour 2013

    Sorry to say, but that is still expensive for a Lions jersey. If you shopped around in Britain and Ireland you would get the "Authentic" for around $100, the replica at $65 and the training jersey for $70. If you were going to buy a shirt and you didn't get it before you came, you would have to...

    If you can get agreement on this your next job would be to negotiate world peace.

    Lions Tour 2013

    Is Ross even fit? He was pedestrian against France and that's being kind. I'm not sure his scrummaging was up to par in the second half either - he looked like he was packing down too high and letting the French loosehead get underneath him.

    Extraordinarily perceptive. Yes, I often sit here in my little Aussie home thinking of the mother country and contemplating my deep rooted insecurity about England no longer being the dominant nation it once was. What a raging debate we have in our house about British identity. My half English/...

    Lions Tour 2013

    Sorry, yes in other words...I would nominate BOD as tour captain as soon as the squad is announced. Clearly I would be expecting him to play but I would also be looking for him to work closely with the management of the tour. If he doesn't play, an on-field captain would be chosen, but I would...

    Lions Tour 2013

    I wouldn't have thought Robshaw would even be a contender for the captaincy. Yes, he's in superb form and yes, he does lead by example. But, he got two major decisions against SA and Australia wrong and against Ireland, it looked like Farrell overruled his decision to go for the posts. I'm not...

    "The knee bone's connected to the cheek bone, the cheek bone's connected to the pinky, the pinky's connected to the calf muscle, the calf muscle's connected to the ankle, the ankle's connected to the knee bone, the knee bone's connected to the Lions tour..." Yes, I'm starting to see the logic of...

    RBS 6 Nations 2013

    Well, I can help you out here. He missed a summer tour with Ireland with a broken jaw. He sustained a calf injury playing in the HCF and then subsequently missed time on international duty and he also had time out with a broken pinky. All since 2009. He has had three major knee injuries. The...

    wow, imagine that! Lol I guess we would be watching Ferris charge around like the warrior he is...with a very sore ankle. F#@$ing Ulster! But lets not kid ourselves, Ferris had a dodgy knee way before the Lions. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but he injured his knee playing for Ireland...

    Ditto...Smith reads the game and can pass. A great opportunity for CFS tonight.

    I don't think Roffschoice was thinking of a compatriot :)

    RBS 6 Nations 2013

    I think his playing days for England might be numbered too. There are strong suggestions that Lancaster has lost patience with his attitude and inability to defend...and as he's not scoring tries, it might be time to look elsewhere (this might happen as early as the Italy game). Personally, I...

    Haskell has had the flu so he drops to the bench. It maybe a good call on Lancasters part to give Lawes a go as I don't think Haskell has stood-out. Wood was superb at 6 against the AB's but is covering 8 at the moment and I think they are hoping it might become a longterm option for him. Lawes...

    Thanks JSRF. No doubt he will benefit from having Marshall starting beside him. It's a bit unfortunate that with Sexton out, you are left with a 36yo ROG or an uncapped player. Hopefully he wil grab his chance and no doubt, with USA and Canada coming up at the end of the season, Madigan will...

    Reds 2013

    Take your point Scoey. Ant Fainga'a would be first choice no doubt but CFS has got heaps of talent too and will play a role this year. I feel uneasy about this match but thats really due to last weeks disappointment rather than what the team are capable of. Thankfully, the game won't be...

    I don't know very much at all about Paddy Jackson so I was wondering what peoples expectations are on the sort of game he is going to play?

    Reds 2013

    Pretty excited to see CFS starting at 13. Still not sure why Hanson isn't starting? Holmes, S.Fainga'a, Slipper, Simmons, O’Donoghue, Quirk, Gill, Schatz, Lucas, Cooper, Ioane, Tapuai, Feauai-Sautia, Shipperley, Harris. Reserves: Hanson, Anae, Wallace-Harrison, Butler, Frisby, Lance, Morahan

    Should the ARU cut their losses and abolish the National Academies?

    Now Waldo Wessels is a stand out name. Did they do a Life of Brian style announcement when he came on?.."w'release, Waldo Wessels" !!

    TPP - Nice try but we are going to have to agree to disagree cos I'm with 70% of Munster supporters. I think we can agree that Ashton is a twat though.

    I wouldn't be so sure he was wishing Zebo well given his previous on field comments that have come out in the public domain. However if this has come out in the media thats what he was doing happy enough to accept it with a serious dose of suprise and respect. Well it did look genuine to me...
