Unless I'm mistaken only 4th placed USA can get 3 wins. But they don't have a third place to add to it. :)

TBF, they targetted the supposed strength of the Irish (the scrum) at the death and had the instinct to win it. But you're right, too many lapses over the season. Saying that, I'm thinking they've won the season championship here and now. Given the women's teams are ranked on only their best 4...

TBF, the premier is gunna have ta play an away game (or two) himself next month - in a venue near you. U might be able to get tickets. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-25/mark-mcgowan-forced-to-attend-clive-palmer-defamation-case/100781596

Good reminder that this team ain't all that. They've got a few frailties. Time to aim for bronze.

Might be the Argies ahem ... Yeah, you're probably right. :)

RugbyWA might have re-thunk it and postponed the wipe out south of the river. Lions and ARKs could be back in for 2022...? 1. Associates 2. Cottesloe 3. Palmyra 4. Wests Scarbs 5. Joondalup 6. Nedlands 7. UWA 8. Kalamunda 9. Wanneroo 10. Southern Lions 11. Perth Bayswater 12. ARKs

Can you give a breakdown of where it gets paid for now? A list like this: 1. Payer, amount, 2. Payer, amount, ...

Had 14 sides the last few years. Providing no more changes than in the article, it looks like 10: 1. Associates 2. Cottesloe 3. Palmyra 4. Wests Scarbs 5. Joondalup 6. Nedlands 7. UWA 8. Kalamunda 9. Wanneroo 10. Southern Lions 11. Perth Bayswater 12. Coastal Cavaliers (Rockingham and...

Spidey senses even told me who it was before clicking the alert. :lol Anyways... Happy Festivus, Reg.

I had one poster in mind when formulating the post, and Bingo!

I'm trying to remember when Aussie rugby started using these sour and surly mug shots to promote the game. It has never really worked. Maybe the idea was to show a boxing-style intensity of players "ready for a fight" but these guys just look pissed off and tired of life. It's time to fire...

South China Tigers is the name of Hong Kong team that played in Global Rapid Rugby. That was a time when the HKRU (and Hong Kongers generally) were on board with the "one country, two systems" concept – before Beijing cracked down on the second part of that idea. So, yes, it is nominally a...

So what can we potentially tick off? 32 'Lypmics 29 RWC (womens) 27 RWC 23 FIFA Womens WC 22 T20 WC I believe the World Athletics Championships are on more than one state govt radar. Various glad-handers are even putting the flag up for another Commie Games ... NSW Libs, Shepparton in Vic...

RSA do have a women's sevens team. They qualified for the Tokyo Olympics via the African regional championship. However, their committee declined the opportunity and let the next best continental place-getter advance instead. A technical reason trotted out is South Africa only likes to back...

You asked, I answered.

Dunno. Someone more connected than me is better to ask -- but they've been anticipated in the draw: If NZ don't play in Spain, the question mark on the series leaders as the benchmark just gets postponed until they do, IMO.

And Fiji could overtake Australia. The US aren't quite there yet on finesse but can play with physicality combined with speed. Smash-mouth football is exactly the type of game to unlock the Aussie girls. Bash 'em and we can't match it. I'll say it: they'll be the benchmark ... Here first.

Does what they're saying rule out what I'm saying, though? Women's series under Manenti: 1st, 4th, 2nd. Women's series under Walsh: 2nd, 3rd, 1st , 2nd ... and now in 2022, possibly 1st, maybe 2nd. Being real, the Aus women's team is the second-ranked team and that's unlikely to change...

Is this part of a narrative where Rugby Australia are downgrading the 7s program? As odd as this sounds, it seems like a demotion for both coaches. Walsh, because he's already been there done that, reached the peak with the women's team. Was starting to show gains with the men's team...

If the rules aren't made known before the comp starts then the suits at HQ can tailor the system to ... ahh ... suit. 1. Put out a teaser, but with zero details. 2. Provide some detail. 3. But do something different again on the website standings. It's all a bit sneaky.
