Can’t they fly the teams to Hong Kong or South Korea to play the games? I think this is a bit of a joke. Given that they don’t have a contingency plan, cancelling the games makes perfect sense due to safety, but you can’t ignore the fact that they had FOUR years to create contingency plans...

Hmm, interesting suggestion. But have you ever considered: Absolutely fucking not?

Foleys off!!! That means we’ve won right?

Ffs Foley looks miserable out there. Get To'omua on.

DELIBERATE KNOCKDOWNS. I’ve never known how they’ve even made sense and they seem to be against the very core principle of rugby: contestable possession. Think about it this way: If you kick a ball, you are making a conscious decision to forfeit possession for a strategical purpose. Once the...

BR would be a great addition to the Trump Whitehouse. Or to Dismal Pillock's Travelling Circus. Not sure what the difference is tbh.

Ffs the wallabies haven’t had three phases without knocking the ball on and we decide to do a loopty-loop, around the back, third man play triple cut out inside ball backline play which results in yet another case of the dropsys and a 30 metre loss. Maybe just let the 12 hit it up and build...

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) gone missing there. He isn’t a 6s arsehole. Dempsey to start at the RWC thank you very much.

Haha I’m biting my tongue. Must stay positive, must stay positive. Looks like it would’ve been a great day though. The sun is putting on a clinic today and there’s no better bed place to be than Coogee with that weather. Great awareness for the game.

Final score 0-74 to Argentina. Randwick tried hard but couldn’t match the skills, athleticism or fitness of the Pumas. To be expected but when you’ve got Lavini - the Mountain - going against some bloke who looks like my Dad it’s gonna be ugly. Still can’t believe the Roar tipped Argentina...

Don’t mind this Gordon bloke on the wing for Randwick. A by reckless but very energetic. Reilly the outside centre has had some good involvements. Freier is completely geriatric, and the rest of the Randwick pack are really struggling. Puma was look like they’re playing at about 60% and...

Sydney boy who wasn’t given much of an opportunity here who’s rugby gave him two years in Ireland and two years in Perth? He’s only 23/24 and he’s lived in three cities since being 18. If he’s enjoying it, I don’t see why he wouldn’t want to tick Melbourne off too. They have a better squad...

Hey! I've watched it on TV too. 3 actually - Uni vs. Randwick at Coogee, 2 x Norths vs Sydney Grand Finals at North Sydney. All 3 had beer queues that were about 30 minutes long. The last I'll say on this is: I just get sick of when people herald it as top-tier football when the defence...

For the amount of flack the rest of Australian Rugby gets from the Shute Shield, I don't think they should complain when they get a little back. FYI - I'm a 24 year old Sydney boy who attended a GPS School, not a furious Westerner. I should be the poster boy of Shute Shield fandom. The Force...

Can't wait for Randwick to get spanked by a B Argentina side to shut up all the diehards who scream from the rooftops: "The Shute Shield is the heart and soul of Australian rugby!" "The Shute Shield grassroots (read: a semi-professional competition that fields only a handful of teams in the...

If the AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) rumours are true, I imagine Kerevi will be subbed and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will come on to replace him with 10-15 to go if were in front. JOC (James O'Connor) to 12. The selectors are probably thinking that some of the more temperamental or inexperienced players (Eg Kerevi) night be overawed and shit the bed if we...

One thing I noticed as well during my rewatch was the sheer frequency that players - other than White - were passing from the base of the ruck, and the extent to which White and Lealifano got involved in rucks. It'd be interesting to see if this is part of the game plan to speed up our play...

Absolutely. I told my old man during the game and his response was “well at least it seems to be working”. Kerevi said in an interview he asked if JOC (James O'Connor) wanted to go into the city with him after the game and JOC (James O'Connor) replied that he was going home to stretch. Love it.

If only we had Sean McMahon back too. Otherwise - how about JOCs interview after the game? He seemed incredibly at peace. He almost sounded like a Christian youth worker. You’d assume he just came off smoking a joint or 80 minutes of meditation, not a frantic test match. It was bewildering...
