This is a positive start. No doubt the players that played in Newcastle have been nicely hardened by the experience ;) ......and Barnes converts the penalty. Woohoo!

Pocock again! Whoa! That pass from Barnes was a rocket!

POCOCK! You little ripper. Pat McCabe right shoulder hurt! Please be ok!

Yep, that's my understanding, as long as you hang on & don't disengage it should be fine.

Pretty sure I saw him rigging up an a-bomb at one point also. Use of WMD's in a Rugby match - only Ritchie. On a serious note I have noticed at club rugby when I go thru to clean out, sometimes much smaller built players will hit the shoulder but will fly through over the top & end up holding...

I'm predicting that you won't be around here for long.

Ireland :(. They've put up a better fight than the score suggests, a few defensive lapses have cost them. AB's too good this game, Carters kicking brilliant. Savea is on fire.

I really can't stand the Fox sports ad that declares "We beat them in the world cup, we'll do it again". Who comes up with these ads?

Wonderful I'm sure all the kiddies will love that.

I agree but where I'm from it's mainly the councils & sporting organisations (like for Newcastle Uni we have NuSport - i.e. they, not the council or the club itself, dictate whether the grounds are played on in wet weather) who dictate whether a ground is playable or not given the weather...

Thank you for bringing this up in a Tahs thread p.tah! I was only thinking out this the other night. I think its a fair call that a regional area should get a Super Rugby game, the Tahs would be the natural 1st pick but I love the attitude of the NHRU (as shown in bold). Yes they'll go for the...

I'm just glad Bruce he didn't draw it out like Bleeding Gums Murphy did with the US anthem. Ma & others around me were pretty much screaming "kick off already FFS!" Speaking of Melbourne Cup speeches I think Kerr's was a lot less painful than the latest Governer-Generals speech. Whoever...

NZ by 14 AUS by 5 SA by 1 NZ will be too strong - although I'd love to see Ireland win. AUS by 5 is more what I hope will happen - Wales very strong & capable of winning. SA v ENG I can see as a real arm wrestle but I'm backing the Saffa's to get over.

OMG Kronic, reading that hurt my brain. The AFL's 'interpretation' of our laws & what goes on in our game has pretty much reinforced that they are a bunch of dumb shits. I'd move on. This sort of news story is a lot like "The Onion" - 'Bullshit happening somewhere story'.

Oh man, insomnia has got me out of bed again.... True TBH, when I talked of how bad the conditions were I'd would certainly be referring to the wind chill, both Ma & I said the temperature, when there was no wind was fine. The combo of wind on wet bodies was the main factor in player...

I think Luke Burgess from the Maitland Blacks might disagree with that. Good list though as I haven't seen some of those names before. And on the Hunter players missing out from having a crack on Tuesday I'm with you all the way. Newcastle-Hunter pride is a big thing with our mob (so to speak)...

3 Digby 2 Moore 1 Pocock Special mention to Sharpe who I thought was very solid at the line-out in particular. Moore was the best forward. Pocock pulled off a couple of very good pilfers busting the Scots for holding on at a few critical times in defense. Yes he did. In fact given the...

Not a bad idea either.

I saw him on the big screen but was hard to make out. I'll have to look for a video on it. Maybe the Rugby club tonight will have it on. Actually looking forward to the Rugby club tonight, it'll be interesting. Not Skins I know but UnderArmour I'm sure has Heat hear and Cold gear for...
