Every new directive has that effect at first, as players infringe due to unfamiliarity with it and generally 'trying it on' to find out where the new boundaries are - we shouldn't be worried by it. Northern Hemisphere types will mock us, then lose their matches in June as usual.

Danny Cipriani is one of the pre-eminent emerging talents of the English system. If he was an Aussie he'd be a test regular by now. Good on the Rebels for snaring him.

I'm surprised. You'd think a GPS 100m sprint champion (and hurdles too IIRC) would have some serious gas.

Good. There is no reason for Qld or the ARU to shoot itself in the foot over this.

That does bear an uncanny resemblance to the Wallaby lineout. :lmao:

Definitely born in Manly. Wiki is as reliable as a box of frogs.

I want one with a tie. Made from hessian.

I'm afraid it will look silly if Kooga's previous work is any indication. Rumours are that it has a traditional collar. Why? May as well play in carbon fiber blazers if you're going down that route.

What a bunch of horseshit those claims are. Carbon fiber reducing heart rate by 4bpm. Yeah, right.

I've never understood that philosophy. If all people want is to see Australia win and care nothing for the aesthetics of the game, then there is an other code ready made for that purpose.

I think this is the opening S14 game?

I'm in SE Qld at the moment. If I'm still round on the 13th then I'm definitely up for Saturday's festivities and the game.

Scarfman, if I get my way there will be enough space to swing several cats!

All of the moaning negatives about this tournament are just so completely meh. If you're worried about accommodation, then book early. Jeez, some people want everything on a plate! My son and I are renting an RV - no worries.

Based on the evidence of the final weekend of the November internationals, there is a glimmer of hope that both Australia and New Zealand will eventually 'work out' the current rules and return to a ball in hand attacking style, and have an advantage over other teams in doing so, in addition to...

There are a lot of good posts here and no point in repeating them, so all I'd like to say is that I'm in the glass half full camp. This was the tough tour we had to have. Look at what happens to NH teams when they have rebuilding tours! It would have been a travesty to have won a grand slam, so...

The All Blacks had sponsor logos before Adidas signed up as their exclusing jersey sponsor. I remember a particularly noxious Steinlager one. If Adidas were to forego that deal then they'd immediately have sponsor logos again. Edit: oops, just saw the later posts and pictures.

How has Beale "fallen"? He's a 19 year old kid on his first Wallaby tour. How many other players have achieved that at the same age? Give him a break for Chrissakes.

To describe JOC (James O'Connor) as a "club footballer at best" is ridiculous. He was the Force's best back last year and perhaps the form 12 of the competition.

Nau should be starting against Wales, not this game.
