I agree with Scotty.

Well, yeah, I considered calling this thread "Zavos in good point shock" but what do you think about what he says about the refs. As I always say at this point in the argument, I believe that rugby is a XV man game. I don't think the laws should encourage a 10-man game, nor should they encourage...

I have felt that the Wallabies have been reffed pretty badly in the tests so far, but wasn't quite sure how to express it. This article gets close to what I reckon. It's not cheating, or necessarily unfair (although we've been a bit unlucky) but mostly it's just that the rules suck. I guess...

With Mortlock out for a bit there's no way we'll change Barnes. The thing is that Gits-Barnes look terrific going forward, but when the pressure is on, not so good. Get the piggies to take the pressure off 9-10-12 and we're pissing it in.

What an idiot. What a cock.

It's a shame that the Bok are so good at 10-man penalty rugby. Because by the end of the ELV period they had slowly moved towards playing a game in which tries are scored.

Well, not too many would be good enough for the Tahs as it stands. I don't know much about Pappy's backers, but the Parramatta Eels used to be interested in union. Having some RL connections in charge would offer young Westies another option for a sport career. This is all long-term stuff, but...

Aaaarrrghhh, my hair, my beautiful hair!!

Breakdown - Boks by plenty Scrums - depends on ref, but probably Boks by small margin Linenout - Boks by a small margin Kicks in general play - Even Backs - Wallabies by a small margin Defence - Wallabies by a small margin Kicks for goal - Boks by a very small margin I reckon the only way for...

Lote was terrific at 7s. Loved the space.

wallabies by 30. dead set we'll smash 'em like guitars

I'm a bit confused by all this. I agree with Noddy. The proposal is for 7s rugby and I think that would be good. Lots of countries will add $ into developing the game. Plus, it's a version of the game that noobies seem to like. I agree that it should NOT be a 15-a-side cometition, because that...

I almost want the Wallabies to lose now.

The Sydney Convicts bring a whole new meaning to the term "pickup game." [Top lads, by the way]

The wheeel are in motion [evil laugh].

Re: social stuff. Yep, it's happened quite a few times now. Easiest thing to do is post a "who wants a beer before the Brisbane 3N game" kind of thing. I like to try to get everyone together late in the year. We have our AGM in September. Which last year consisted of going to the Belgian Beer...

Damn! I mean ... excellent news for Australian rugby. Anyone got Hynes's number?

OK, Jim. I've also read all that stuff on PR and have no more comment to make. Thanks for your post, I'll leave it here and others can refer to PR if they need more info. As this is an issue that entirely concens another forum I'm going to lock this topic. Scarf

Well, everything is a bit easier at provincial level. Mat Rogers was always a 50/50 call at international level, but was actually a very good fullback for us. In response to the QLDers above, I do agree that it's a bit strange to get rid of Hewat and SNK just to hire Mitchell. Fullback was a...

Mitchell will be fine at 15 at provincial level. If Ioane comes too, that will make the best XV in the S14 (on paper). Pretty exciting for us Tah men.
