Oh dear, Reg. That'll upset a few people.

Shute Shield starts this Saturday. SevenTWO at 3 pm. Not only in NSW, also in Southeastern Queensland too. I wonder whether it will be live elsewhere?

Absolutely agree. Any donkey can win a lineout at the front (my favourite!).

Nor I. Clark would go, too. Gordon Bray??

It is possible to chew gum and fart at the same time. The quality of the kicking is one thing, killing what is pretty much an exhibition game with excessive and ineffective use of the boot is quite another. The Kiwis seem to manage to kick properly, and do not overdo it. We had "forcings...

With the best will in the world, and as a very long-time Aussie rugby tragic, I have to say that there is a lot of truth in that myth. Mrs Wamberal and I can watch the Kiwi games right through, but sad to say, both Aussie games this weekend were just dire (caveat: we switched off the Tahs/Force...

It is not a good sign when there are 5 contenders for the 10 jersey, without any one of them standing out.

That's bit harsh, Dan, but Mrs Wamberal and I were not thrilled either. Rain should never be an excuse at this level (although there did seem to be a bit of a problem getting towels to the twos prior to lineouts). A draw was an appropriate result. Neither side played well enough to deserve...

The commentary generally was a helluva lot better last night. I could be wrong - Bradman got out for a duck occasionally - but I am certain that this thread has been taken notice of.

You do understand the concept of "all time", do you? As for the concept of "athlete" as opposed to "footballer": no, apparently I don't share your learned view. But just on the subject of the vertical leap, (which apparently is the magic attribute), as my final contribution to this rather...

So? He had some amazing abilities, for sure. Rugby has been around at the international level for a very long time. To claim that any player is the best of all time is pretty arrogant. BTW, Super Rugby has been around for a bit over 20 years. Hardly "all-time". I am not talking Izzy down...

This is the most sweeping statement about rugby that Australia has ever seen.

A teensy weensy bit simplistic, old chap.

More resigned than popular.

And he talks in cliches. Never ever says anything insightful or creative. Dull as dishwater.

My sister sent me an email telling me that she had enjoyed watching Western Force playing Samoa. She stumbled over it on NITV. Lots of rugby on this wonderful little backwater.

The best way to destroy a young up-and-comer is to throw him in against the Darkness before he is ready.

Oh.

The kids in the next suburb have always been the responsibility of the district clubs. Once upon a time, when all schools had sporting programmes, sometimes one of the sports offered was ours. That depended on whether or not one or more of the teaching staff was a rugby person. By definition...

Philip is going, I would be surprised if he gets a gig.
