He is supposed to say what Richie (captain of the favourites) would say: "It's going to be tough, the Wallabies will be looking to even up the series, we've lost a few players this year, but we're going to give it our best shot." Is that so hard?

Really? Being "groomed" for the captaincy?

Say that again, G. I think I'm getting an idea.

Vickerman would be ineligible for either team, IMO. Like Kiwis who play in the NRL.

Thanks for the info mez, welcome. I pity you when Turban gets here, but welcome!

That's my gut feeling about the whole Luke and mates vs Springbok emblem. Surely, from that day in 1995 forward, there was real hope for reconciliation. New flag, new anthem. The whites have to sing the black anthem and vice versa. The team is called the Springboks and that's OK. I don't know...

Start a thread on that PB. I'd be interested to hear your views.

You woudn't want to be playing South Africa in the final, either.

Nice work Tom. That's moderator talk. Except I promised the next job to the Queenslanders. You know what they're like.

All the good ones have.

I guess it feeds into the qualification rounds. Although I don't see exactly why. It's not going to affect Africa 1 vs Afica 2 and so on.

OK, I'm just not buying it. This is a wind-up isn't it Disco?

I see what you're saying. So, being sensible, I would prefer to play South Africa than New Zealand in the semi-finals in Auckland. So, it would be good to stay in the top 3 over Spring. But if we bottle it, and the Argies beat Ireland like they always do, then we might be looking at 4th or 5th...

Some days I wake up and wonder how all this iRB stuff happens without me knowing about it. It's not like I'm not reading the fucking rugby news. Anyway, I knew that the iRb were considering a ranking system for RWC11 but I didn't realise the whole thing was finalised. Anyway, I've invited John...

The Torres Strait analogy is actually accurate, T. The top 4 sides in the world reside in the southern hemisphere. The more you guys put more leather patches on your blazers, the longer it will stay that way.

I get the touch but not the engage. - The touch gets the guys closer, which is good. - The pause gives them a chance to wind up. I'm not a prop - the last time I got hauled into the front row I sang out "uncontested" in my best blouse voice - but it's clear that the engage has got heavier over...

Plaaaaaaaaaaaaank. Nobody listens to me.

Stupidest law ever. It made no logical sense, nevermind rugby sense. There IS a pause already between any two events that are not simultaneous. The CROUCH - TOUCHPAUSE - ENGAGE stage was just silly. Give it the bone.

Love it. I'm still a bit confused by some of his selections, but it's great to have a coach who says sensible and straightforward things every time he opens his mouth. It's a change, that's for sure.

Nice one Nick. :lmao: I assume you mean the 10 channel, with 9 on his back, right?
