I think mistakes and poor tackling was the most costly aspect of the wallabies performance. Up until the 55th minute the wallabies were in the best position in three decades. Even the ab's had that look of vulnerability about them. In the past and fairly infrequently, this has been times when...

Just out of interest, On the Haka, why is it allowed? It's not the national anthem. So why is it allowed? On that point why is the anthem (like South Africa) allowed to be sung in two languages, surely one is enough, like everyone else? Do we need to sing the Australian national anthem in...

No mate you missed the point: this is a discussion, and whilst your point is correct for the players, it isn't on this forum. Anyone is free to give their opinion, as long as it is done in a tasteful and non personal manner. If someone things they should scrutinise the referees decision then...

Two good decisions, not like the poor non-decision of the forward pass in the World Cup final. Reality 5 tries. You kiwis are not good whiners r u? Need to watch us Aussie more closely. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No he complained because he wasn't going to catch him. The Aussie player, imo, has the full right to move his position, jostle, push shoulder on shoulder, but does not have the right to hold back or pull back. Try and poor decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fair enough, but I still see a great distance between nrc and mitre 10 cup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the claims having mostly been coming from hopeful BBC parents or old boys. I don't think most of the top teams thought that; that said they saw them as a threat who's "flame" needed some extinguishing.... And it appears this was done, so far. One day they will get there. Sent from my...

Well there's no doubt it will be divisive. I think it is a function of modern sport. Where an administrator is the biggest boss, trying different strategies to make a code popular (usually they have not done the hard yards on the paddock and in terms of culture). The strategies invariably "piss...

Too true HTC it's a completely different game. Probably agree with the u20 possibilities as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree that Eadie position and maturity would probably get him some time. Also agree with not putting them in cotton wool. Guys at this age should be getting as much game time and different challenges and experience as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Premiership for Norths in the next 3 years? What's the feeling or odds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great vision, thanks. Wow that last play of the game was straight from the Richie McCaw playbook. I may need new spectacles, but I'll be damned if the kiwi 7 was in an onside position. Anyways some great action. Well done to the boys. For mine I don't think, from the vision I saw, that the...

No I think it's just bad positioning, non coaching or simply covering for a weaker defender. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah talking and asking the right kids to join the school. That's something that is right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't be dark side that's the norm. Has been for multiple decades. That's what your buying. That said they deserve and have earner every victory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. That's why the concept is quite good, you need to reward all players to be fair, not just those you select. As I have previously commented that would leave NC, GT or Churchie to take the title, a little boring. For mine, given that 100% of games are played and each school has one, the...

Wow that's a long bow to draw considering the scrum was under pressure for most of the day. For mine the #14 was motm, closely follow by the 7,8 & 6. It was the control of the breakdown and improvement in the set piece in the second half that allowed field position to build pressure on NC...

The sharing of information etc that you talk about whilst important, imo, is secondary to how you play in the game. Going back to my point "they keep the ball up". That is they have superior fitness, ball skills and in general play use pressure to force mistakes. They don't make passes unless...
