    Enjoying the ABC Grandstand radio commentary, including guest Benn Robinson!

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    Hey boys (and girls) I forgot to mention that I was wearing my red ("Reds") [lucky] jocks for the Brumbies match! Those same red jocks made famous in prose after last year's S15 win (was it Cyclopath?)! Mrs Doug and I are devastated at "Big Kev's" injury......having two crook knees myself from...

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    Having just read the comments posted during and post match, it's nights like this that it's better only having an audio feed through ABC Grandstand plus Fox Sports (stats and highlights) on the laptop! It gives a different perspective to having full audio plus video, and highlights the use of...

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    Reds by 10 or less, (IMHO)!

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    Lindommer, one must remember that one could be sharing this thread with members from North America, where "And my tongue rejoiced when it got stuck into a Big Brown Beaver last trip" has a totally different meaning to the one intended, (and I'm not referring to the animal with big teeth)!!!

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    Glad that Hooper got off...as I felt he should. Look forward to our No. 1 team (Reds) playing our No. 2 team (Brumbies)!...[Limited] good luck to (my 3rd cousin) Sam Carter!!....Go the Reds!

    Reds v. Force Super Rugby Round 6 2012

    Reds V Force Round 2 2012R02

    Well played Reds, much better call on ABC grandstand this week from Quentin Hull than that crap from commentator (Tim Gavel?) last week!

    Waratahs vs Reds - Round 1 - 2012R01

    I haven't scrolled thru all of this thread, so this may have been said previously....the ABC radio 'Grandstand' call of this match was the worst I've ever heard, ( and I turned 64 yesterday)! It reminded me of English race-callers of twenty years ago! The commentators didn't want to be there and...

    Waratahs vs Reds - Round 1 - 2012R01

    Angry Seahorse, you were so close, ("Reds by 5")! I had them winning by around 15, however, the players lacked the confidence (or was it the ability to score points?), that I had! Well done you!!

    Waratahs vs Reds - Round 1 - 2012R01

    Angry Seahorse, you of all people should know it's not "fan one-upmanship", it's "fan one-up(person)ship"! I think your prediction for full-time score is somewhat conservative!

    Wallabies vs Wales, Sunday Dec 4

    Try telling that to the families of the two men (one aged 21, the other 40), who died from apparent heart attacks during the running of the Philadelphia Marathon three weeks ago (20th November), or the family of the 32 year old guy who died of cardiac arrest whilst running a half-marathon in...

    Wallabies vs Wales, Sunday Dec 4

    Good comment B81. I noted at the weekend, the news that Australia is now considering testing all elite athletes for heart abnormalities (cardiac events being the major killer of participating sports men and women), to bring us in line with other countries that are doing it! This contradicts the...

    Wallabies vs Wales, Sunday Dec 4

    [/B] When I sent this post I was hoping for some "informed input" by people qualified to evaluate the different forms of therapy! Instead, I got some, pathetic, ignorant replies such as: 1. Tangawizi: "Why doesn't he (Rob Horne) just touch his toes for a minute every day when getting in and...

    Wallabies vs Wales, Sunday Dec 4

    Have had a full week with 4am starts so haven't viewed the previuous pages on this thread. Slightly off-topic, but are we up to six players unavailable for this test match because of hamstring problems? A mate of mine (and fellow Reds supporter), is a highly regarded Osteopath here on the Gold...

    Wales confirm tour to Australia

    Gee your post brings back memories, Reg! I watched my cousin Dave Carter (later a Wallaby) and another Quirindi player, Bill Abram, play for NSW Country against Scotland at Singleton many years ago. Met Tom Towers (Cyril's son) in the bar, and was later sitting in the small grandstand...
