Lol Biggsy, I didnt have the nerve - he's a lot bigger than me. Plus I like him :). Got my fingers crossed he goes well against Wales.

Ash the line is Wales +3.5 at $1.90, same for Wallabies at - for $1.90 Wales 1-12 at $3.25 for mine would be the best bet for someone backing Wales. Bring in Vuna & worst case scenario he lets a couple in then maybe Wales +13 at $6.25 is more the go........

Thanks for that dozza I'm full up with the flu & the medication for it from Tuesday night & this gave me one hell of a laugh! Mixing up a prop with a fullback just made it that extra bit funny :D. Agree re the comments about the +'s & -'s of Cooper Vuna. I like his attack, worried about his...

Thanks for sharing Moses I had no idea his father played in Newcastle/Hunters local comp.

Reading that AB's starting side the reaction I get is "damn AB's, you scary!". That's one hell of a side. I like & enjoy watching a lot of those AB players normally but not against the country of my ancestors - come on Ireland defy the odds!

Yeah, I admit when we were packing the scrum just before the final penalty there was a lot of nervousness in the area I was sitting. You could have cut the tension with a knife. Just added this herald article. Pocock had some hypothermia after the game - not surprising. He wrote some very nice...

Aftermath of test, contains very good piece Pocock wrote on the crowd, turns out he had hypothermia (not surprised): http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-union/newcastle-lays-strong-claims-to-more-top-rugby/2582727.aspx In some of the comments sections of the test articles...

Nice footage Hugh, that actually looks like fun!

Pretty sure I saw him go in, very good gears & brakes for sure. I was walking around the stadium trying to get to the Wallaby autographs room at the time of the game. I did see them go in going around the outside of a couple of SFX/Frannies backs who aren't slow themselves. I love it when I see...

Gnostic it's St Francis Xavier (not trying to be a nazi on corrections or anything its just that its my old school :)). Agree re: the kicking, was one of the biggest issues for mine. I thought they did try a couple of low ones but didn't persist with it.

I blame Scotland, crab people, & the league idiots in my town doing a rain dance thus causing the storm in the first place. I'd replace Poseidon with Pasha Bulker too.

The Scots won!!! OMG! Well done Scotland. http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-union/brave-scots-beat-wallabies/2581082.aspx http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-union/brave-scots-score-epic-win-over-wallabies/2581169.aspx Below is the link to my write up of the...

Wow, what a f**king hard man! Seriously, what is cold & what is hot is relative to where you live & what you are aclimatised to. I work as a construction worker. I work with Kiwis that have been in Oz for a few years. One bloke from the South Island told me he used to go to work in NZ's winter...

Could'nt tell, me & all the others around me were belting out the words ourselves too loud to notice :) (in the name of being a good sport I sung the Scots anthem too - not as loud though). Cheers Antony, I was one of many who braved the weather. The official crowd was around 20080, which is...

This just in! One of the Hamilton Women's Rugby Players (from the Harps) had contacted the ARU & told them about the death of local Rugby player Tevita Maile (aged 22) this week. As a result the Wallabies will be wearing black arm bands in support of the local Rugby community. Credit where...

Forgot to mention the "Commonwealth Hotel" in Cooks Hill who is the sponsor of a couple of local Rugby clubs including my own will have mini buses heading to the Hunter Stadium from 6pm onward. So if you get here early & want to go to a very Rugby friendly pub then it is one of the best picks...

Agreed. Hopefully they do kick it to him so he can catch it cleanly then go all the way under the posts.

Here's a couple of places to type into google maps (for some reason can't get the links to work): 1) Perth rd Broadmeadow to Hunter Stadium Broadmeadow NSW (this is an 11min walk approx) 2) Sunnyside Tavern, Broadmeadow Road, Broadmeadow, New South Wales to Hunter Stadium Broadmeadow NSW...

Where are you located Lee, take a look at a few of these links & you might see whether there is cover or not. Looking at the first link I'm in the red bit, Bay 5 row 0000J Seats 13-14 (with Ma) in the Andrew Johns/East Grandstand. I don't think we have cover, I'm not sure going by the picture...

Well I had heard some pretty awful news yesterday & waited a bit to get confirmation & here it is. Tevita Maile, 22, who was an up & coming player for the Hamilton Hawks died yesterday in a car accident. I will remember Tevita as a rugby player, partner of a fellow rep player, someone who helped...
