    Wallabies v Springboks - Suncorp, Brisbane, 10th September 2016

    In the Pro era. http://stats.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/records/team/most_consecutive_losses.html?id=6;type=team 10 games from 1899-1907, 10 games from 1937-1947, 9 games from 1914-1921, 9 games from 1956-1958 and 7 games from 1968-1969. By my count, the first 3 have the Boer War, WWII, and...

    SANZAAR Fan Survey

    Unless you get up early on your saturday (6.30-8.30am for Kiwi games and 8.30-10.30am for your East Coast Australian Games, depending on who's got daylight savings) you're not going to catch many of those games. Consider the impact of early morning commutes, particularly in London and the...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Small addendum. Pro Rugby also has: Denver Jake Turnbull (Prop) Luke White (Prop) Timana Tahu (Center) Sacramento Harry Bennett (Fly half) San Francisco Tom Coolican (Hooker)* Isaac Helu (Number 8) Again, no guarantee of accuracy.

    NRC Rnd 1: QLD Country v Canberra Vikings

    Not that hard to be the best 10 in the tournament when you're probably the only player in the top 8 to not either miss games through injury or play games elsewhere in the backline.

    Pretty sure JWC is mandatory release on World Rugby level BR.

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Honestly, my 1st team is basically to one I made last NH Season. Holmes in for Kepu, Beale in for Cooper, Gill in for Smith cos those ones have left, and come home respectively. Tomane pushes Betham out, and Edmonds moves up with Fitzpatrick coming home. Had I put more thought into it, a few...

    Wallabies v Springboks - Suncorp, Brisbane, 10th September 2016

    Technically he's on injury leave with his wages being provided by his insurance and making use of the Wallaby training and rehabilitation facilities while in Australia. Or something like that.

    Wallaby Coaching Staff

    Wonder if you can match the £s and other advantages these blokes have. The June Tours would likely be the only time Taylor has to spend more than one night not in his own bed. Fisher and Wisemantel would be similar, having not even got the international duties. Without knowledge of the family...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Highlander's occasional "Good God anything but Uni Work" Long post Super Rugby. NPC. Currie Cup. Top 14. ProD2. English Premiership. English Championship. Pro12. These are the leagues whom are professional, more than a year old, and mostly easy to find squads in English. If a player is playing...

    Wallabies v Springboks - Suncorp, Brisbane, 10th September 2016

    Hopefully Hodge, Hanson, Timani (ideally allocated to the Rams), McCalman and Skelton at the least. Maybe Kerevi, Coleman and Phipps too.

    Love that twitter handle.

    Wallabies v Springboks - Suncorp, Brisbane, 10th September 2016

    Sometimes that happens though. Hodge found himself a kick pass away from the nearest player once or twice, and a big cut out pass away 5 or 6 times.

    Wallabies v Springboks - Suncorp, Brisbane, 10th September 2016

    Surely: 11 Mitchell 12 Hodge 13 Kerevi 14 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15 Folau Would work better with those personnel.

    NRC Rnd 1: Perth Spirit v Melbourne Rising

    Honestly, I had it on mute. I was actually mistaking Cruze for Fox a lot! Same ethnicity issue, but less physique. I blame the stream and a bad hangover :p

    NRC onwards and upwards

    As Nige was apt to say, this is not Soccer. Cup competitions work well in football, where you can expect, that with a bit of luck, a well coordinated and physical side can prevent the opposition from scoring, either at all of more than one, despite being inferior financially, or skillfully or...

    NRC Rnd 1: Sydney Rays v Western Sydney Rams

    If you're signed into your browser, (either Firefox or Chrome, don't know if the others do it) you should have a saved passwords section. I piggiebacked off the old mans account last year, so a reset wasn't an option, looked it up there instead :p Just for future.

    If they'll win the comp, it'll be the work of that 4-8 group. Quite similar to the Jeffries-Neville-Jones-McMahon-Timani axis that the Rising played in 2014, with the two local backrowers off the bench. Except only Arnold is likely to get a call up, and even then Sammy Carter can come straight...

    How to fix the wallabies

    Reckon all Premier Clubs should get equal funding. Not based on player numbers or number of grades or state, just equal funding.

    NRC onwards and upwards

    Still don't like the 6 point try. Might as well have 3 point tries and 1 point kicks. Shits me.

    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. When Angus Gardner is the best you can produce, well there's not much else to say. I know we're shithouse. Mike Adamson's the best we can produce, and he's got a case of the Steve Walsh ego without the same ability. And if you go back to...
