When did they take the 2? I thought it was three tries to NSW (with one converted), with one to Queensland. I might be getting confused by the new scoring system though.

Does anyone know the name of the Queensland Country locks? I'm enjoying the work of the number 4. Big bald guy who just hits rucks. Edit: Scratch that, just saw the team-sheet posted above.

Kellaway on the wing looks dangerous. He's getting a lot of space to work with, but certainly has pace.

This actually isn't a terrible way to spend an afternoon. Had to go into work, but I'm sitting here with a beer at my desk, watching some commentary-free rugby (/working).

It's back up now - for me at least.

I'm loving this thread, but you guys need to give a bit more credit to league. I think it's a game that in some ways does reward out and out toughness more than union does, and therefore tends to have more players who I would describe as 'tough'. Like those props who just keep charging up field...

Champion, thanks.

Any chance this is one of those things where they stream it on youtube? I'll be stuck at work.

At the end of a reasonable post, this was a strange sign-off. Clearly about 90% of sports fans fall into category 4, being that they follow a bunch of sports, acknowledge the strengths of each, aren't claiming some weird 'status' (do you actually think that?) and just end up preferring the one...

Yep. He of incorrect replacement hooker listing fame.

Awesome mate, I'll be sending this around.

I had a glance at your profile mate. This comment also applies to the various rugby union trolls that hang out on rugby league forums (Rugby League Planet has a particularly bad infestation) but I will never for the life of me understand people who join a forum covering something that they...

Further to the last thing I posted about Guatemalan rugby, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=eVyZW9Xmiw8&app=desktop It's in spanish, but have a look to see what the state of the game is in a country that has absolutely zero historical association with rugby, and...

Ditto. I'll probably drop him then he'll have a blinder this week.

Where did you see that? I just had a gander at his articles and couldn't find any mention of the game. I really shouldn't be giving him the clicks, but that would be a genuinely interesting thing to see.

Auckland is rainy in august, but it's apparently meant to be dry on Saturday (to the extent that they can pick this stuff a week out). We've got Smith coming back, Nonu going out, with either Crotty or Fekitoa slotting in at 12. So likely: 1. Crockett 2. Coles 3. O. Franks 4. Whitelock 5...

Yeah, he was in my fantasy team for the first and last time.

I'm not a particularly strong advocate for it (for the reasons that a lot of you set out above), but I'm surprised there's so much hate for the idea. Omar makes a decent point that at the end of the day it's just more rugby, what's so offensive about that? I have no real issue watching teams...

Let's just stick to pumping up our own game. I don't watch much league, but we don't have to go around heaping rubbish on it.

I'm a huge Dagg fan, but he's looking a bit gun-shy. I think he needs an extended stint out of the top side to regain top form - I'd like him to go play ITM Cup, ideally, and rip up Southland and Counties a few times. Get the scent of blood back. I also think Savea and Jane provide a really...
