Just get one, fuckwit!

And the non Nazi-collaborating French.

Newb, I reckon we can now de-stickify this page and start 2 new threads for the regular season. To authorise, make no sign.

Havne't heard that one. Maybe my hair dryer was too loud. Here's Green and Gold Rugby's own Bruce Ross on the "lambada", sorry, the "bajada." http://www.myoquip.com.au/Bajada_article.htm

I agree Groucho. You see these guys like Cipriani and Hook and you think - oh shit, we're in trouble now. And then they get nothing but criticism at home because a kick goes out on the full or something. The NH teams seem to hate having a 10 that might actually create something.

This would be iin the "Big Calls 2010" thread except that it's too big. Brussow is here to stay.

Given that I stirred a fair bit of this up, I have to admit that I was shocked by my ignorance of South African economics. Their GDP is about a quarter of Australia's, so no wonder they don't have zillions of dollars to produce winning athletes in too many areas. Even in Australia, we're looking...

Can we get this thread back on topic please? :angryfire:

GDP per capita: 14. Australia 70. Kazakhstan 80. South Africa Fair enough. Also, if rugby is funded by fans, then doubly fair enough.

Well .... I'm just playing devil's advocate here, mostly, but I imagine that rugby has the higest economic demand, but perhaps not the highest social demand. Maybe the majority population would appreciate some development of sports they might be more interested in. Rugby is deeply rooted in...

True Blue. Although there's quite a few third world countries ahead of them on the medal tally (including Kazakhstan, which managed 2G 4S 7B). I'd have thought that sport would be a useful thing for the unemployed to have a go at. (Yes, I realise that they are more than unemployed, they are...

Sam Norton-Knight plays 10 for the Force, tears the house down, gets into the Wallabies since he plays for the Force, is not very good for the Wallabies.

SNK is coming back?? The Wallaby dream is not over :snk: :snk: :snk: :salute

Paarl, how come Saffers are unknown in about every sport outside of rugby and cricket? Even in soccer, Australia is ranked 23rd and South Africa 81st. In Beijing, Australia got 14 gold, 15 silver, and 17 bronze. RSA got 1 silver in total. I'm not (just) bragging, I'm indicating to you that we...

Who's on our list? 1. R. McCaw 2. B. O'Dramaqueen 3. B. Botha ...

Rugby is not as concentrated in GPS schools as GPS schools would like to think.

Hands up everyone who wants Biffo to stop correcting people.

I've got a 5yo boy. Rugby is pretty rough compared to most sports. But it does teach certain values that you can't get elsewhere. Certainly not in soccer or tennis. My 8yo daughter does Little Athletics and they have a really positive environment, but it's still an individual sport. I hate...

Mate, we get our kids playing sport too. But they're playing all sorts of stuff. Australia came 4th, 4th and 6th in the last 3 Olympics because our kids are out there swimming, playing hockey, doing Little Athletics, rowing, whatever. South Africa does worse than New Zealand! I can't stand...

Tranquility, I think you've had too many tranquilisers. Him - very very good but ever so slightly overrated rugby player You - bloke on the internet
