Geographical, Rob. they're in your catchment area. Not quite, topo. I don't even think I can claim authorship of the tag. I have the feeling that someone coined it quite a while back. Perhaps lily?

Just tidying up re the Eastwood-Uni game. I’m still filthy over spending time I couldn’t afford writing a post and having it disappear. Bloody internet. With all the Uni bashing that goes on here – much worse on other sites of course – I was suspicious of your motives, rugbyvet, given your...

Apologies reciprocated, rugbyvet. This morning I composed a long reply using up time I don't have, then pressed the "Go Advanced" button to check the post, only to be informed that "the token has expired" and all my paragraphs were lost. I tried to post this comment numerous times around 9am...

I might be old, rugbyvet, but I'm not simple. I try to oblige members when they ask for information but I chose to answer your question with the basic details: Why would you need to single me out for a match report, especially as: If you weren't at the game, presumably there are any...

Very disappointing display by Uni in terms of option taking and defensive structure. Eastwood were much more focussed and made the most of their opportunities.

Interesting to see people's evaluation of the two 7s. Pat McCutcheon has been mentioned 4 times so far - although Lincoln confused him with older brother Lachlan - while Jono Jenkins hasn't got a guernsey. According to Foxsports Fantasy Pat played for 72 minutes for 9 runs, 2 offloads, 11...

Bearing in mind Quade's brutal encounter with Richie McCaw, how long before Khoder gets him to try boxing? Or maybe he should get Stephanie to sub for him.

It's a worry when Greg Somerville is one of the prettier ones.

A nice line, Hawko.

Class act, Hench.

We live in hope.

Gnostic, although I tend to promote the "fallacy" that "Australians do not appreciate forward play especially scrums", I think that there are a lot of insights in your post with which I agree.

Totally agree, FG, but I think we have forgotten to some extent the qualities that made that team so great. In my view we are in no position to emulate that physicality across the park this year.

I like that: "the unspoken elements of the question". Don't mind me, rsa. I like to indulge myself.

My impression is that rugby followers in most other countries are much more appreciative of tight forward play than Australians are. So my answer would be most other rugby playing countries but just don't ask me to live there.

Ruggo, my post was in reply to a comment by thatguy who instead of taking it on the chin managed to outsmart me. The only reason I quoted your post was so that people could understand what thatguy was on about. I didn't think that you were having a dig at me.

My comment, TBH, was based on the fact that I would happily watch scrums, mauls and hand-to-hand combat on the goal line for the whole 80 minutes. I sense that most of my countrymen do not share my preference. I note that in answer to your question as to "which country ... would better...

The obvious difficulty with that, TK, is that some unscrupulous packs could deliberately take the scrum down so that their half back has totally unpressured ball.

You are indeed a fortunate man, rsa, marrying a woman who is a true aficionado of rugby. There were long periods during the game when I was bored to tears but it certainly wasn't during "that series of scrums". My only complaint was when the justice of the peace thought he should lecture the...

Lee Grant is on fire!! {Returning the compliment) Very cleverly crafted, LG.
