It also comes down to preparation. In the olden (and more simple) days when everyone wore black boots and white laces with screw in studs, most players kept several lengths of studs in their bag to deal with different ground conditions. In the wet, and sandy conditions, in went the long studs...

I guess I put the miserable performance on EOYT 2009 down to injuries and blooding newbies. Guess the old excuse of "who really cares about performance on EOYT, the only show in town is the 3N" flies out the window when we have NO chance of winning that as well. We are not alone in the injury...

Now here's a lesson from History (albeit AB history). Thanks to wikipedia for the detail. Cut and paste is much easier than relying on faded memories and typing as you recall. While some of the Cavaliers returned to the AB's, The Baby Blacks formed the nucleus of the AB team who went on to...

The Kiwis must have been taking the piss with that Group. Can not believe that any sane musical event coordinator wouldn't have sacked them on the spot at the sound check, and called in the Plan B, The Speights Brewery Choir. A bunch of 1/2 pissed Dunedin Uni Students would have done gooder.

You rotten shit Moses. Here we are attempting to deal with last nights activities and you post that little gem of a video clip. Quoting the Immortal Murray Mexted at the 1:29 mark "Well that was a delightful rendition of the Australian National Anthem...." Did you check out the look on JON'd...

As a young 'un, I recall the entire crowd at Cardiff Arms Park singing the anthem in unison to a Military brass band in the middle. Even in the days of dodgy sattelite feeds, mono sound and black and white (yes that long ago), the hairs stood up on the back of my neck when the Welsh sung. Why...

Bloody hell. I think some of us still need some more time to recover from the disappointment of our misplaced hope that there was some glimmer of chance of a Wallaby victory last night. We were touched up good and proper last night by the undisputed #1 team in the world. The sun still came up...

Spot on Chief, Many of us predicted a decent margin victory to the AB's by 15 or so points but If the AB's hadn't cruised through the motions in the second 40, against the brave 14 in Gold, we could have seen 60-70 points posted by the AB's.

Better than that debacle a few years back in Dunedin when the kiwis recruited "Scandal'us" (The Popstars group) to sing our Anthem. Now that was embarrassing. Still not sure if the Kiwis were deliberately taking the piss or just stuffed up with that mob.

This is not a McCaw/George Smith thing. Regardless of State, Club, or National alliances, you would have to agree that all top notch loose forwards push the envelope with the laws. Those that don't find themselves in either second grade or second row. Edit: The constant changing of the laws...

Last night McCaw was a machine - agree. Do not entirely agree that Pocock outplayed McCaw But I will run with that. Could not consider him to be a machine but rather think of him as a turbocharger, something to make the machine around him go better if (and only if) the rest of the machine is...

10 tries is RSI territory, although you are showing your age as a child of the 80's. Pretty sure that RSI is now called OOS (Occupational Overuse Syndrome) or some new definition dreamed up by a consultant/pony tail wearing marketing type. Same problem, new name. While there appeared to be...

Hugh, I understand your lightheartedness and sense of comic relief, and keep it up. But....... Mr Joubert is only adjudicating on what is in front of him. If Rock Star had displayed better leadership and discipline there would have been no marching. Solution is not a Marching Instructor but...

Think I got the lot here. Those who predicted for NZ Victory Those Predicting for AUS Victory Those calling for Mass sackings of players and coaches should perhaps reflect on their own assessments of potential as evidenced in the pick the scores predictions...

Hot off the Press from ARU HQ in St Leonards. JO'N has just announced that Robbie and all assistant coaches will be sacked immediately. Sonny Hammond has been announced as Head Coach, with Skippy being appointed as Chairman of Selectors and Assistant (Forwards) Coach. Lassie has been...

If this was a performance of the musical "Cats", or something by the Royal Aust Ballet at the Opera House, the paying public would be demanding their money back from the professional entertainers on stage. There are articles here and in the paper about the dwindling market share of Rugby in a...

Daz, The absolute crux of the matter. Several other enlightened posters have similarly arrived at the same conclusions. It is all very well (and very easy to be) perform as a Leader of the Opposition and simply point out the blinding obvious, but having done so (sacked Deans and 1/2 the...

What has happened to the Hobbits? The Shute Shield website tells me that the Emu's beat them yesterday. Match report anyone? Emu's back up from a draw with the Two Blues by beating early competition leaders. To quote Fitzy "Gotta love this city".

And nearly all of that money goes straight back into fertilizing the grass roots of our game, unlike S14 and Test gate revenues. At Coogee Oval, Junior clubs run the canteen and BBQ and every cent of profit from the $4 per beer and $5 works burger, loved by Adam F, goes back to the kids. Even...
