    Wallabies vs Ireland - 3rd test - Saturday 23rd June 2018 - Sydney Football Stadium

    Yeah, we should totally discard Timu after just two tests. On the other hand, we clearly haven't given Ned Hanigan enough of a chance. 12 tests (or so) is nowhere near enough to be able to tell, as he hasn't had a chance yet to show he is capable. I suggest maybe 50 or even 100 tests will be...

    Wallabies v Ireland, Saturday 16th June, 8.00pm, AAMI Park, Melbourne

    Well the rules may have changed around the breakdown, but Pocock is still dominant as fuck.

    Your interpretation of their "main gripe" in that article is quite different to mine.

    Australia v Ireland, Sat 9th June @ 8.00pm, Suncorp Brisbane

    Wallabies played well against a tough opposition. Across the board, I think the Australians played well. I would still change the wallabies captaincy, but I know that is never going to happen no matter how often the referees show their disdain for him.

    Reds 2018

    I was very specific in my wording on who I was referring to. Explicitly the coaching guys. If I had meant to be more general, I would have used the terms "In general, for most or all people, on average... etc etc". But I didn't. Because I was explicitly talking about one set of people and their...

    Reds 2018

    Where did I mention solicitors? I have made it clear in my original post that I am talking about the "good quality coaches plying their trade overseas". I made no comment about any other trade or profession. I did not mention solicitors and was not talking about them at all. What does the...

    FFS - we are not talking about low payed people here... We are specifically talking about guys earning big contracts - not minimum wage. Sheesh - no wonder I had you on ignore.

    Reds 2018

    I should have been broad and included the pound of course - given some of our guys are in the UK... Now and the future is when I am talking about - they can;t exchange their money in the past. When else would be relevant? Unless we are talking about coaches that went over there in the 80s and...

    Reds 2018

    Regarding the broader issue of good quality coaches plying their trade overseas I am uncertain what the actual solution is. Euro has more money because their market is bigger and they have a high value currency. Australians are incredibly mercenary and are not likely to do anything "for love"...

    Reds v Highlanders

    Just separate the reds from the QRU entirely and there will be a chance that the reds will become a consistently good side. Until that happens, the QRU will fuck up any revivals or winning culture that accidentally arises within the team.

    Reds v Highlanders

    It was OK. But not very much. OK, it was a pretty ordinary match tbh. Both teams were pretty terrible. At least we didn't get stomped, but sheesh, the brains went right out the window at the end there.

    Hurricanes v Reds

    I said it previously, I get embarrassed wearing my reds gear. Well I also wear the reds tag on steam as well. There is nowhere I can escape the humiliation.

    Rnd 13: Sunwolves v Reds

    This is a serious question: what do the reds actually practice? It's certainly not any of the basic skills of rugby. I wonder if it's possible to put a bet on a reds player putting a high shot on the opposition. Probably can't because no bookie would accept something that was a sure thing. I...

    Rnd 13: Sunwolves v Reds

    Lucas needs to come off tbh. He's having an incredibly negative impact on the reds performance. Defence by the reds is also a big issue. Very easy metres being made.

    Reds 2018

    It's not the players/player depth that coaches would be looking at when thinking about coming to the reds. It's the QRU. You would have to be a complete novice, or a washed up neverwas to accept working for the QRU in a coaching role given their track record.
