Waratahjesus, is that you?

Wow, we scored the least trys yet still came second. It appears our dour play dragged all those around us down as well.

I thought Maitland was the most under rated NZ back last year. Fruean and Ranger were unlucky to not get a look in, but Maitland is better than both of them.

I was discussing the game with a kiwi work mate today and his take was that the space just doesn't exist like it used to, because there isn't enough disincentive for the defensive team to not take up space and slow the ruck down. Unfortunately Rugby just doesn't work as well without rucking. I...

Simple people enjoy simple things. It's good they have League to pass the time.

I can certainly understand the Eagles sponsors intervening, as the Ben Cousins saga was really the last straw in regards to a continued pattern of behaviour by a sizeable contingent of the Eagles wider squad. Not all, but many of the players were involved in fairly anti-social behaviour. Knowing...

Do you honestly think Qantas/Castrol have contacted the Wallabies and asked them to stand down KB (Kurtley Beale) because he got pissed and reacted poorly to being racially vilified? I understand where you are coming from, but it's not like KB (Kurtley Beale) has an individual contract with the ARU's sponsors. If they feel...

Why are rugby players held to higher standards than the general public? Would Beale be stood down from his job if he was a truck driver? No. Society's desire to force sports stars into being role models is shit. Parents should be their childrens role models.

Do we need another 30 year old with chronic injuries?I rate Hynes, but what is the chance of ever getting back to top form after such a long layoff. I can't think of anyone else who has ever done it.

Credit to the ARU. The present for Kev at the end was a great touch.

There was a great down the line slow mo replay. When he tapped it back into field he was wholely across the line with a foot on the grass.

I believe NZ requested them and then the Wallabies rejected the idea. On the breakdown situation, any game involving the AB's and Wallabies is going to be on the edge of the laws. They both contest this area of the game so effectively. If a ref let's it run, then he is freezing and letting the...

It's this. Stop trying to start provincial infighting. It detracts from the threads.

Do you ever have anything positive to contribute?

3. Douglas 2. Hooper 1. Sheehan

I actually thought Joubert was excellent.

Yeah, no real stand outs. Sheehan probably deserved a vote but it's hard to give votes to a guy who only played 20mins.

Sorry folks, missed the MOM part in the title. If a mod can oblige?
