Sound reasoning, but I suspect his manager was not riding the same high. I think that Williams and Nasser chose the option that would give them the greatest short term income. In recent years, they have been quite savvy in negotiating contracts, whether they be above board or below. It is...

Justin Harrison played a pretty good thug.

Ha! Reuben Wiki started his first grade career at the Raiders in the centres!

I plan on having a holiday that day.

To hell with the high tech scrum shit, if you want your scrum to man up then get one of these bad boys. EDIT: These scrum machines remind me of:

So if I read that right, Watson is annoyed that other unions would not help parachute the Kings into the CC premier division. Whereas the Pumas still have the chance for promotion via the promotion/relegation match, the Kings will have to wait for some other avenue to give them a leg up. Or...

Now hang on there RH, on the previous page you lambasted the ARU for not showing leadership, and suggested an alternative press release with the words: Then you have a crack at RugbyWA for negotiating with JO'C - something which they have been doing for months now. To fulfill the criteria on...

I would argue that a lot of NZ teams still play that way. To say that they would still play it if it worked is quite simplistic, and sometimes inaccurate. I do acknowledge there has been a trend, and many coaches are coaching a more 'conservative' gameplan. However, the gameplan might be the...

That video is also an example of an extremely well drilled team. Each player knows where they should be, and makes the effort to get there, at all times. Look at how the maul from one of the kickoffs formed - Eales took the ball and in a matter of a couple of seconds the whole pack had formed...

I have a pained feeling that the bolded part is correct fp. But we shall see, I hope to be proven wrong.

3 Fardy 2 White 1 Hooper

I just finished watching the game for the first time, and Fardy was well an truly the best on ground. Our backrow played well as a unit, particularly Fardy and Hooper. They were really effective at the breakdown, and supported each other well. Nic White had a good game also. He controlled...

Simply liking this post doesn't do it justice. Well said.

Scotty you really are on an anti Mowen crusade. I'll admit his best position is not 8, but he really has not been as bad as you attempt to make out. His line out work and leadership alone merits his spot in the starting side. If you really think he has been so bad, give some more specific...

Your trolling is getting quite clever nowadays, hats off!

Here's an interesting question, and will probably no doubt spark some debate: what would the Wallaby pack actually be if everyone was available? I honestly would go for something like: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Pyle 5. Horwill 6. Mowen 7. Pocock 8. Higgers But even then there are...

Regardless of what people think of his form, etc, etc - Congratulations to Ben Mowen, who will become the 80th Wallaby captain on Saturday.

Yes, but the forwards set the platform. They are the ones who are responsible for delivering quick, clean ball for the backs to use. I understand your point about the backline, but when your forwards are copping a flogging it makes things so much harder. The forwards have to bear the brunt of...

Oh the shameless self promotion! :)

Great point Dam0 . I tend to judge forward effectiveness (particularly front row forwards) by cauliflower ears. If they don't have any, they are not trying hard enough. I can't find a single cauliflower ear among this lot. The only one I know of is Pocock. His cauliflower ears were coming...
