    Auditioning the finger puppets, Scarfman?

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    That's a pretty good answer. So the next question is, what punishment will the Wallabies choose? I guess the reason I'm banging on about this is that I don't want to see the team (my team too - I'm a supporter after all) suffer because of JOC (James O'Connor)'s stupid indiscretion. I don't want to see our...

    Sonny Bill praying to someone

    Well, he is a Muslim. Plenty of rugby players cross themselves. Unless Islam is the problem. Anyway it's not an apt subject for G&GR.

    Drown out the haka: Bledisloe II | Tri Nations finale

    I have no idea what this means.

    Drown out the haka: Bledisloe II | Tri Nations finale

    Fair enough. rugbydata.com had it down as Lang Park.

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    A serious question. Why do we punish people when they do the wrong thing? Is it to extract vengeance? Is it to deter them from doing the same in the future? Is it to deter others? Is it because it's what we always do? Or is there another reason? I think when 'we' punish JOC (James O'Connor) it should be in a...

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    There are many ways in which a player can work harder. He could do more press days, for example. He can do charity work. He can do additional school visits and meet and greet days. Make the 'punishment' fit the crime. What I certainly don't mean is make him work harder at training or during...

    Tri Nations Game 5 - Springboks vs All Blacks

    Infamous? There is an important difference between the head of the International Rugby Board's Referee Board saying a referee is right, and saying he is wrong.

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    So much hyperbole, Tireless Backrower! No one on my company has 'worked themselves up from the mail room'. Nor to the best of my knowledge do they photocopy their arses. I doubt any Wallaby does either. I own an ensemble business, and I try to recruit good people, in much the same way as the ARU...

    Wallabies world cup squad selection

    Turner may have gotten there on time, but he'd never have gotten round the ticket collector.

    Well, they haven't won there either.

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    The people pontificating about business here might consider what would happen in a real business. If a vital key team member did a no-show in my company, there is no way I'd punish myself or rest of the team by taking them out of the work stream, especially for something as important as a...

    Sorry mate, I shouldn't have dumped on you like that... none of us here have been there (that I know of). It was just the 'shit' bit that got my goat.

    The reason JOC (James O'Connor) was absent from the RWC squad announcement...

    And you know this, how? I doubt the majority of rugby fans think JOC (James O'Connor) is a 'shit', although reading this thread, I don't don't doubt there is a cadre of spittle-frothing jealous blokes who do. Some of you need to have a fucking listen to yourselves - and you for a start, sjg. O'Connor has done...

    Tri Nations Game 5 - Springboks vs All Blacks

    Because he doesn't play crash ball but orchestrates others, he's now 'afraid' to take the ball into contact? How strange. If tacklers could get near him, perhaps we'd see more of him being tackled. :)

    Wallaby Scrum - As good as we claim?

    Don't you rate Kepu as a specialist loosehead? All our first three props play both sides now. I don't think that makes any of them a weakness, simply versatile.
