I think the follow-up from Curry, asking "if their hooker calls me a white c**t, what do I do?", was what was heard on broadcast - not the actual remark itself. Unless the incident happened in the vicinity of BOK and his mic, we'll probably never know.

I've seen some Saffers say there've been issues in the past with referees taking a disliking to "blind kant" - referring to "blind side" of course

The theory that he said "wit kant" - Afrikaans for "white side" - to alert his team that the ball had been turned over in the ruck is actually more than plausible to be completely fair. After speaking with a couple of mates from SA, apparently c-bombs aren't even that commonly dropped. Not...

Yep, I'm an idiot - this is why I shouldn't jump on here after a few beers. Awesome that they're setting record numbers

Absolutely, plenty of reasons to get as many through as possible. I would assume the agreement probably includes a flat fee (for certainty) plus an attendance-based modifier / additional fee which covers the costs associated with facilitating a larger crowd.

I noticed the Reds promoted the game on their socials, which many lend some evidence to the latter

On a definitely unrelated note - anyone else think we should hold a GAGR bender Festival of Rugby in the ACT?

As others have suggested, there's a very good chance he can't say anything.

Probably nothing, and I'm completely okay with that. Skilled professionals in any field are having conversations with potential employers all the time. Eddie has made it abundantly clear that if 'alignment' doesn't go ahead, then it's unlikely he'll want to continue as HC, so he's keeping his...

Dismal returning to read this:

This aligns with a point I made in another thread last week - when discussing social content / marketing, connecting with Gen Z - how rugby is yet to really embrace and promote the 'individuals' in the game. Anything like this can only be good imo.

@Dismal Pillock time for a Harry / Wilson XV thread

There is a non-zero chance we at some point see 8. Harry Wilson 9. Teddy Wilson 15. Harry Wilson

I still think Flook should've come in

Just announced that Simon Craig is moving on as the Super W coach after 2 years

You know what - after watching the full presser, fuck it, I'm back aboard the Eddie train. Assuming the Japan stuff blows over, Eddie is absolutely making the right noises on how to take the Wallabies and Australian Rugby to a better place. As many suspected, it really does seem like it's been...

Coogee oval presser - Sydney Rugby Mafia Un-ironed shirt - man of the people

In all fairness to EJ (Eddie Jones), this is a valid takeaway - and probably the most realistic summary of the situation

Maybe a hot take, but I wouldn't hate to see conversion charge downs removed from the game - too much grey area over when a kicker actually starts their action imo. Kolbe's defended it, saying his time playing with Ramos means he knows his action. A fair point, but it still looks early to my...

There's a bit going on with rugby in PNG at the moment - the Port Moresby club comp, Capital Rugby Union, has been making some moves to get some high profile faces in and around. Genia, Giteau, Digby Ionae, Aidan Toua, among others have all been over there making some noise this year. Union...
