Sparked by a couple of incidents over the weekend (which I think the refs got right) thought it would be worth asking:- When the ball is at the back of the ruck and the half back is set to pick it up, what is the opposition entitled to do? I'm talking about one who comes through the ruck (at...

Maybe cheiks needs to come up with a game and training plan that doesn't exhaust the players he's selecting? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Wallabies v Italy 145k on ten 111k on Fox NZ v Lions 185k on Fox Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Third box kick charged down? They are so much better than us when kicking, but not faultless

liam williams is an absolute gun must have been very close yo a yellow and maybe a penalty try. All Blacks were way offside

One of the great tries of all time!

That's one for the referees thread! Half has hands on the ball but the ref said he's still untouchable Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Last 5 minutes have been pretty ominous for the Lions and everyone else in world rugby for that matter

This team just loses crucial moments so often. It's hard to know what to do about that. This week it's Izzy's lineout and then DHP spilling the cross kick, closely followed by (another) intercept, this time by Arnold. Another 14 points gifted to the opposition straight after last week's debacles

Yeah tough to blame QC (Quade Cooper) there. Pass was behind him

How many own goals can one team score?

They've done it irregularly in the past eg Scotland 5 years ago. Ratings weren't great IIRC but if you played a bled it might be a different story. I think one of the big issues is you could probably only do it for a series agaisnt one team as the opposition need to play the week before and...

does he really have to do this, or is it just a convenient excuse for (yet another) poor performance, that's not his fault? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

The Lowy family owns 10% of Westfield so you could prorata out the sponsorship dollars the company has invested if you wanted to. Of course, the real value Lowy brought went beyond dollars. It was his time and reputation as well as his independence, willingness and ability to cut through the...

Any ideas why they are doing that? Iirc they shifted to u19 in the late 90s to try and get more players playing straight out of school. Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

The question would become - can the Super Rugby teams cut ~$1m from their budgets and remain/become competitive? And do they have the ability to find $$$ from other sources eg sponsorship/memberships/tickets/ownership models If not doesn't that just force the Super teams, and pretty quickly...

It was reported a few days ago that the Force would get to use the ARU Super vote Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Hunt, as suspected on the night, appears to be recovering from concussion. After his initial blow, he got up and made a couple more tackles, while the trainer was trying to pull him off. I found that pretty disturbing. Courageous on the surface, but how brave can you be after a concussion and...

The FFA want to get rid of Gallop because he massively over promised and under delivered on their TV deal.

I reckon the issue Michael is that we have to believe that each test match matters and it's vital that its won. The alternative is that these sort of matches are actually "friendlies" that don't matter at all in the scheme of things, and then there's barely a reason to tune in except for once...
