I don't rate Peter O'Mahoney's chat, but credit where it's due, he can play and is a proper hard man too. He's got all the right kind of mongrel you want from your 6.

Agree with pretty much every word of that mate. First and foremost, playing team sport is about being out there with your mates having fun. The high-performance stuff and getting the most out of yourself comes later. I think if we first and foremost keep young boys and girls running around with...

Jeepers, that's an elite group.

I've worked with a few over the years (including now) and it can be challenging :-) Same with the two mad Irish women I work with now. I sometimes lean forward in my chair and say what the hell are you talking about.

I love the Scots

That's fantastic. Portugal have played some exciting footy in this tournament.

Oh do come on. You've clearly used the middle aged white men as a pejorative. I won't deny for one minute that there are some out of date attitudes present in the code, but there are plenty of others (me included) who are open to different ways of doing things. Give the people who love and fund...

It doesn't help your cause to insult a group of people who support the game. I really do get tired of this passive aggressive approach of "oh don't shoot me everyone I'm only the messenger". Park that and focus on the addressing the issues. It's a recurring theme with your posts. Many people...

Are we still talking footy here or geopolitics? If you want to go down that road there are plenty of other places.

Great win for Portugal, I'm stoked for them. Hopefully Fiji can lift for the quarter against England and at least one side can play some footy.

Ireland were magnificent for about 60 minutes of that game and then probably put the cue in the rack. They will take a power of beating from here.

Was only a matter of time before EJ (Eddie Jones)'s biggest fan, Lord Bald, joined in. Thanks but no thanks Clive, we're well aware of the issues.

So there is clearly the demand there. If RA want to do something to build the base and thus the game, put some funding into that.

Absolutely. It's enormous credit to Nonu that he went away and actively worked on his game and broaden his skill base. I reckon him and Jerome Kaino were two vital ingredients that made that All Black team as good as it was. The last push over the edge if you will.

Samu is clearly well below his best and he's 30, so you'd imagine that his days are numbered as a test footballer. That said, I think it's worth keeping him in the Wallaby squad until a clear successor at 12 emerges. We're a bit thin there right now.

I can't really see how going back to Fox would be a good thing for the game here

I've got Kayo and Stan, mainly because I watch several different sports (cricket, rugby, Aussie Rules, baseball etc), but I like both and it doesn't cost me a lot. It's certainly cheaper than what I could be paying for Foxtel (which I haven't had for over 20 years).

We've had the Drua in the NRC before

I know it's all a bit shit right now, but some of the chat here and on the Roar is bordering on death-riding the code. It's also not helped by the continued political sniping from entrenched factions in the game. It's also not enough to simply say sack everyone, shut down everything and start...

The atmosphere at the Argentina v Chile game is fantastic
