    1981 Springbok tour to NZ - 30 years old

    Well, it's quite likely he was arrested on suspicion, searched, let go. Australia has similar law and requirements.

    1981 Springbok tour to NZ - 30 years old

    Normal police procedure I'd think. I would imagine they were of the view they had reasonable grounds to suspect he was a trafficker and had drugs concealed on his person. Doubt race had anything to do with it other than the tip off. They received information, acted upon it, found there was...

    Ewen McKenzie Q & A - Top 10 Questions

    Nice delivery, even tone, subtle, I give it a bait rating of 6.5 Hawko.

    Rugby spirit

    I note our erstwhile kiwi didn't take issue with this part tho; ouch. This discussion tells me two things. One watch out for welshmen in boots. Two, playing hard in the inter web forums has a lot less consequences than playing aforesaid welshmen in rugby.

    Australia - our most valuable players at this World Cup

    Seems to me a lot of the players are integral to the squad. But for the sake of identifying players who you personally think aren't readily replaced; 1 - Pocock 2 - Genia (but lets face it, either of Pocock and Genia and we are in a world of pain) 3 - Cooper - scares the crap out of teams...

    Kiwi hate vibe is marring World Cup

    time to lock it imo, any point that needed to be made was long made and it's a clear consensus all countries have their dicks who need lobotomies. Anything from here is just gonna put sand in some petal's panties.

    Cooper - Good or Great rugby player - discuss.

    A number of those 10s were superb kickers and fine generals, but limited at best ball in hand. Personally I saw Carlos as a great footballer. But it's the 10s job to be the game controller, so Cooper has a way to go. Re defence Quade isn't an incompetent tackler at all. But he has been given...

    Wallabies at the Rugby World Cup 2011

    Beau was in the squad, he'd still be in the frame wouldn't he? But he got one shot and had a mare, same as Timani. I'd have him myself, I think he's a big game player, but the nerves he showed v Samoa may have cost him.

    RWC - New Zealand v France - 24th September

    Now now, no need to be rude. It could come back to bite you on the ass.

    RWC - New Zealand v France - 24th September

    You know, I thought England played pretty well myself. Was hard to tell, but I liked the way they went about it. They are going to be a real contender. Re France, You could see the skill was there, and in that first ten minutes they were close, knowing the frogs it could have been a different...

    Cooper - Good or Great rugby player - discuss.

    Cullen and Lomu were great players for their physical prowess. I personally think Cooper has a claim as a great player in that sense, he has a freakish ability in attack, his running game and passing is staggering, and like Cullen he reads the game superbly. 10 demands more though. I'd also...

    I'm confused/disappointed

    ABs always maintain a high standard of team, not saying they will go to custard, nor that this team will be one of the all time greats, saying that we have a core of great players and that in the coming few years they will be a force to be reckoned with and that we will hold the ABs to account...

    Wallabies vs Russia - last game before the QFs!

    Light, you are being unreasonable imo. We all know you aren't a McCabe fan. Plenty of people are. Plenty of people aren't. We all know why - he's excellent on defense but hasn't shown any flair in attack. We lose one game and as soon as we play the next one against a tier two team you are...

    I'm confused/disappointed

    Even if the ABs do win, they are gonna have to watch their arse in the coming four Grievous. Wallabies have a core of greatness about them, it just needs to be tempered by experience.

    Wallabies at the Rugby World Cup 2011

    Been a long time since I paid much credence to what Eddie Jones had to say. Now if Rod McQueen has something to say... Enjoy reading Dwyer's tactical analysis, and pay close heed to his view of players games, I just ignore the ref comments, self marketing of his manual and the exclamation...

    I'm confused/disappointed

    Certainly not my recollection Dan, I grew up there, cricket was the summer sport. One day cricket did up the ratings later but I stand by the view - a huge amount of disgust in kiwiland at the poor sportsmanship. The outcry was huge, I can't comment on Kiwi opinion in the 70s, I was too young...

    RWC Wallabies v USA - 23 September

    I have posted elsewhere that I don't think they were undecided Scarf. They were always going to give the bench a run in the last two games. It was the pundits here who didn't agree with the incumbents that saw all the discussion. All about the backs and all on the basis of a forwards loss...
