Or would you prefer he moved to the Force?

My thoughts (late I know): - it was a very frustrating game to watch as there was little rugby actually played after the first 20 mins. Was very stop start with lots of poor passing, dropped ball and poor tactics. My hand is still sore from slapping the metal bar in front of my seat everytime...

You just grab the nuts in that case. Kills too birds with one stone (or is that two stones).

I don't think rugby will beat league in Aus by becoming more like it by not having the SA's in S14. Rugby would do much better by having S14 on free to air TV, even if it was only a game a week or a highlights show. There is literary nothing at the moment and this makes it almost impossible to...

I reckon this has been part of the all black training regime since henry took over. Back to Palu - jeez it looked ugly and looked worthy of a suspension.

Played every position from 1 to 5 except hooker. I can remember passing the ball in 1999, wish someone had of taken a photo.

As a non foxtel subscriber with two young kids, it very difficult for me to watch the S14 games that are played outside of Sydney. I was pleasantly suprised to receive the following from my internet provider today. I think its the same service that foxsports offered last year (at a cost), but...

Woops, I thought it would be a major stuff up if one if those nations missed out but, say, Uruguay got in. Anyway the draw has been run and won: Pool A: New Zealand, France, Tonga, Americas 1, Asia 1 Pool B: Argentina, England, Scotland, Europe 1, Final Place Playoff Pool C: Australia...

Does this mean that not all 3 of Fiji, Tonga and Somoa can make it?

Re: So who has played their last test? and who will struggle with the cattle bac Maybe add Mark Gerrard into that list as well

Apparently Wales jumped over England and France into 5th spot following their win over the Wallabies and the Poms loss to the All Blacks. I am still unclear how the draw will be done, it sounds like it will be names from a hat: 1 name from teams 1-4, 1 name from teams 5-8 and so on until their...

To answer my own question (from today's Tele): "The ARU will be sweating on the report of Sunday's official referee assessor, Michel Lamoulie of France. O'Neill is anxious to know how Lamoulie rated Lewis's performance. "I'll have another conversation with the IRB and I'll ask about the...

Moving on from the post mortem, it does seem to me that there maybe a serious issue with Alan Lewis and the Wallabies. Is there any opportunity for say Deans or Jim Williams to have a chat with him to clear the air? In the NRL, there are opportunities for coaches to discuss particular decisions...

It worked so well for ther 3rd game against the boks this year....

Its been great seeing some other guys given a decent go. It seems Lote's mortgage on one wing possie is officially over and I hope he reacts accordingly.

Well I'll fess up and say I wasn't aware of the IRB edict to penalise players for going off their feet at the breakdown so I withdraw some of my criticism of Joubert. However, I think Lindomers post covered it off well in that Joubert was penalising players for going off their feet after the...

I think we underrate the collisions that occur in league. You basically have someone running full steam at 2-3 people (who are running full steam back the other way) over 15m. This happens hundreds of times in a league game (and I found it as boring as bat shit as a player), but probably only 5...

I am surprised their isn't more discussion of the penalty against the french that led to our 1st try. At worst it was accidental offside, is that a full arm peanlty under these rules? The pommie commentator clearly didn't think so but it changed the momentum of the game.

Lee, are you basing that comment on that scrum or other indiscretions by Smith? The penalty try was appropriate and I wouldn't have complained if he got a yellow card (and I would have insisted on it if he did the same thing for the brumbies v tahs). However France would have scored anyway so I...
