    Robbie Deans

    You must master your rage, or rage will become your master... Cods wallop. A Robbie deans quote is like an example of newspeak.

    Who's to Blame?

    You mean like, realize it wasn't working at the 60-65 minute mark and used the bench players as fresh options and change? Like the way Deans did versus Samoa? Like the way Deans did versus Ireland? Like the way Deans did last night versus Scotland. NOT using your full bench is a clear sign...

    Who's to Blame?

    I doubt it. This administration is pretty inept at recognizing when things are wrong. I don't understand what deans does as a coach, but his performances with the wallabies IS consistent: the wallabies do not play as a team under his tenure. They are not greater than the sum of their...

    Wallabies vs Scotland - 5 June 2012

    Scotland played a better game than the wallabies and deserved the win. The wallabies on paper were a good side, nothing like last years Samoa game. The wallabies just couldn't crack the scots defensive line, for which the scots deserve full praise. I'll be very interested to see how the...

    Rebels vs Brumbies Super Rugby Rnd 15 2012

    I used to think you were being serious, but now I realise that you have a very dry and sarcastic wit. That post was hilarious.

    Channel 9 continues the tradition of absymal free to air rugby coverage...

    Reruns of Two and Half Men and Big Bang Theory. Surely there is not nearly enough of these yet.

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    The wife made me go to dinner tonight instead of watching the game live (pepe's at Newmarket, pretty decent Mexican food btw), so just watched the recording. She loves reds dearly, but loves socializing more. Steve Walsh warned the players and the players continued to infringe. Just about...

    Reds 2013

    I think I might be in the minority here, but I think Rod Davies should be kept in mind. I know he hasn't played well this year, but I honestly think that he is really a quality finisher rather than a maker. That sort of player is valuable at the extreme ends of a firing backline (something that...

    Cipriani going to Sale

    Delve has been a key player for the rebels and an inspirational leader. His dedication to the team has been exemplorary. One of the best forwards to play in the oz conference. The rebels will miss him big time next year, a sign of just how well he has played. Of all the o/s players to play in...

    Cringeworthy Kearns/Martin moments.....minutes......hours......

    Gordon Bray was brilliant, his ability to dig up completely unheard of statistics in a match were almost legendary... "Campese... Campese... TRY! And that is the thirteenth time a wallaby has scored from the sixth phase in the second half in a third test on an away ground in an autumn month...

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    What's up with Steve Walsh? I think he is pretty OK as a ref actually, tends to favour the home crowd a little bit otherwise one of the better refs running around (not as good as the saffa refs though - those guys tend to be the best).

    Brumbies v Reds Super Rugby round 14

    ^^^^^ This!!!!!! As much as I would like the reds to win (obviously), I just can't see it happening unfortunately. I just don't know if we will be able to lift to play a full game like we did against the chiefs or saders. We took it very easy against the lions and it showed. We cannot afford...

    Reds v Lions, Super Rugby Round 13 2012

    Pretty ordinary performance by the reds in a pretty ordinary game... Still, a win is a win and a bonus point is even better. Genia had a great game, Not good to see Ben Lucas limping off, but good to see Chris come on with a bang.

    Higgers to the Rebels

    What exactly is the ideal goal of the other franchises? It's something I am unclear on. Is it: a) to provide additional avenues for the "almost" and up & coming players from the traditional rugby states or b) to develop the interest in the game in the expansion areas so that in the long...

    Reds 2013

    It's a big shame, he is a great player and one who really seems dedicated and passionate about the reds. I hope he goes well for the rebels next year (just not against us though :P) (Controversial statement mode on) I think he is probably more important to the reds than Cooper is. Lucas and...

    S15: Australia dont have depth

    They're state owned (mostly) and like any government agency here, subject to "inflated bureaucrat" tax. I think suncorp stadium has to have something like 15,000 attend before any money starts going to the franchise. If the reds go back to ballymore then it will all change of course (although...

    S15: Australia dont have depth

    Whilst personally satisfying to have 5 teams in each country, it is somewhat mystifying considering how rugby is held in australia (compared to the other codes). SA and NZ being traditional rugby first nations probably do deserve the lions share of the teams, logically speaking. I sometimes...
