The only thing we really did well at all in the semi was defend and both teams played pretty patchy rugby in the final. I wouldn't mind seeing us run out like the 'Landers did with a general pattern + tweaks instituted to specifically counter the opposition at their weakest points. Not sure the...

I just get excited when the odd episode is uploaded somewhere I can actually watch it :( I hate baseball season.

When, or how would any currently active player say this? It's really not in the best interest of most of them to ever even broach the subject for a few reasons. These guys are lucky if they have an 8-9 year career. Of course they are going to take the offseason $$$ in Japan if it's at all...

Regardless of opposition that guy has riduculous stride turnover for a player his height, even if he is on the skinny side. Those are some ridiculously quick feet for a 198+ cm bloke.

Are you trying to tell me that Sean McMahon isn't the greatest backrower of all time? I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Not enough takeout boxes in the back, from what I can see.

I'd start shopping for a new one, soon.

Yeah it's definitely interesting what kind of tosh you can turn up when you use a few thousand words and a heap of statistical manipulation. TWAS covered the rest in the comments under the article. It's a lot of words and numbers that don't really say anything other than that the author was...

If his shoulder is crocked again, why has he been visiting family and friend in NZ without a sling on? If he needs another recon I just don't see how the current visit overseas would be playing out the way it seems to be. He'd be in way too much pain, for starters. I'm pretty sure he'd be...

Fucking useless seagulls. Would never work against the Boks. Maybe it's much more about the balance of the pack as a whole and the mismatch an athletic 8 with an offloading game can create in wider channels is a proven tactic used by multiple teams in world rugby. The entire "fronting up"...

The Chiefs also got royally dicked by the injury phantom this year in a way that I haven't seen since Reds 2012. They've been running on 2nd/3rd string 9s/10s and basically pulling whoever the fuck is 6'4"+ from the local towns to play in the tight five for half the season.

Google "Quade Cooper Waratahs", it's how I was able to get into both articles before the paywall hit me.

I don't think CourierMail is pay-walled - pretty sure they are just having server issues. Seems the whole "Quade to 'Tahs" thing is a gee-up by the headline writer and just based purely on the fact that he'd be coming back from the 7s (if he even goes for that) around when Foley's contract...

Eat my fucking shorts Carmichael, you pussy. Your castle made of sand has been crumbling at your feet for over a year and you have the audacity to say shit like this. How about the long-term investment all of the fans have made in your organization? This is fucked.

Did Moore snipe that hook? What year is it??

Most of the folks who actually care about the level of transparency given in the appointment process are on this forum. Like was already said, the selection process is very unlikely to be any different than if it was done with the QRU sending out daily updates - which is never going to happen...

If this was all that mattered, England would be routinely shitting down the necks of every rugby playing nation on Earth. There's a lot more at play in why the ABs are such a dominant team.

Yeah I agree that it's harsh on Coleman in general to expect him to take down Nadolo, but at the same time the way he attempted to do it was pretty awful too.

Dagg isn't really sweeping from the side in that clip, he gets bumped off in front and his entire body shape is awful. It's like he got stuck in two minds between going for an ankle tap or driving up through the ball carrier's hip/groin area and ended up just doing his best interpretation of a...

I think there's been far too much credence given to the stats presented so far without consideration of the enormous mitigating factor of how their Super Rugby team approaches the game and by extension, uses them as a player - just in general. It's a difficult thing to quantify as a variable...
