I saw that exchange and thought it was extremely disrespectful from a ref who looked like he'd never packed down in a scrum in his life. He told the Manly LHP that if he did it again "You'll be off and we'll get someone on who knows how to scrummage" If a player said the same thing about a ref...

Or the knock on by France in the 1987 semi-final.

Editor - "I need a league v union story for Easter" Reporter - "Laurie Daley's son goes to a GPS school and wants to play league. I can do something with that. I'll even get a hyperbaric chamber in there somehow"

I was at Bowral yesterday and it was hot. Sydney Uni even had sunscreen on the bench. Contrary to what couldabeen said, Uni used at least two fresh reserves in Dunbar and Yassmin in 1sts. NSW U20 players - handy replacements. Whilst Dunbar came on with about ten minutes to go, Yassmin played...

According to the weekly Waratahs email I received this morning, the Waratahs have reached 20,000 members which is a record.

For those thinking of attending, Scots 7s are at UNSW David Phillips Fields this year.

My wedding was the night of the 1991 RWC final (I know poor planning on my part). I fulfilled my obligations vis-a-vis consummation and settled down to watch. The wife was worn out and only caught the first half. Unfortunately, this meant there was no post match celebration.

There was no byline. It was an AAP article (in SMH at least) . After Marto's little bit it goes on to say the Sydney Convicts have invited Jacpot to training and a few games.

Will Greenwood tells a story about the 2001 Lions Tour. Scrum packed with Lions feed. Toutai Kefu looks up straight at Greenwood and says "we've watched the videos and know this move. I'm going to kill/smash you" or words to that effect. Greenwood says to the ref, "Did you hear what he said...

If Pocock had said nothing and the ref heard nothing then chances are we would never have known about what was said on the field and there would be no issue to bring the game into disrepute. A bit like the tree falling in the forest with nobody to hear it.

I thought Dunbar was playing down in Canberra. Who was stomping at the SFS?

Another thing to note from crowd comments. Brumbies have played well so far, but they have only beaten Aussie teams that are coming 10th, 13th and 14th, including two gimmes v Reds. As soon as they encounter decent opposition they've lost. I still think they'll be there come finals, but it's...

Watched the game at the ground so didn't pick up all the controversies that are covered ad infinitum by the commentators. Having said that everyone around me had no qualms about Fardy's YC and it was only die hard Brumbies fans that didn't think it deserved a penalty try. Lots of comments...

@HJ, you had me right up until "You had to ask."

Isn't it great how Kafer and Marto keep commenting on something they know absolutely nothing about - forward play. In their day they would have been in the sheds doing their hair by the time the piggies finished scrum practice. I don't recall Lawton commenting on backline play once.

Someone should get out there and wipe the vasoline off Jacpots hands!!! And tell him to stop shaking hands with his teammates.

Should've been YC for professional foul

Took a little long to take Harris off for concussion test. Waited till they scored try and he converts. Very poor.

Newbie, you are correct. It's the Swans training field and there is no seating/covering, just open grassy expanses although there are trees on the far side. I know this as I misread LG's post above, and as I was at the SFS gym this morning, thought I'd drop over to said grassy expanse and that's...
