Scrummies kicking? I don't think I can recall ANY Oz halfback doing a decent kick this year. Fer Chrissake, stop it!

In yer dreams. Quite a few saw the light and returned to God's country.;)

Swings and roundabouts. What about Link McKenzie, Chris Carberry, Peter Horton, Bunter Shaw, Chris Latham, Michael Foley, Morgan Turinui, Lachie Turner, Tony Daly, Matt Ryan, Fletcher Dyson, Jim McInerney moving north to name a few.

Well played, Reds, you were too good. Strangely enough, although I didn't watch the Tahs live last night I thought they played better than they did last week. Which speaks volumes for the quality of the Reds play. The Reds #4 to #8 rolled over our lot while their #10 and #12 controlled things...

Was at the match with Hawko. And he's right, it was painful to be there. All the good pieces the above posters noted were correct, but, the collapse in structure after 4/5 phases was excruciating to watch live. Most above haven't put enough weight on the diabolical performance the Force put...

fixed.

Gatland's in good company losing in SAf with the BILs in 2021. The only winning BL/BILs in SAf were 1891, 1896, 1974 and 1997. Nine other BL/BIL tour parties lost.

Mark Bell (ex-SJC) was on the staff at Newington, First XV rugby coach IIRC. Angus started junior school there at the time and, understandably, wanted to remain with his schoolmates for senior school.

Joe went to both TAS, when his father was on the staff, and Marist College Pearce. Joe's father, Glenn, is an OB of Joeys. Folklore has it Joe was put down for Joeys but never got there.

....apart from when Japan paid him a shitload of money to coach the national side before Eddie. Maybe JJ should've said seven words, adding "now".

Let's suck it and see.

Great night with Hawko at the SFS, how good is it to snag a win in the 80th minute? Met up with John at The Shakespeare (where I sprung fatprop doing his bit to improve the publican's financial wellbeing) before the game. If there's a better pre-game experience than meeting in a Sydney pub I...

....against a Kiwi team....

One of yer best, DP.

The Cheika from 2016 to 2019 certainly wasn't attractive. But, if we're going to be sensible about running the ruler over potential Wallaby coaches, I'd much prefer we have a close look at what Michael did with Argentina the last few years. IF he could replicate that performance with the...

Shore winning the Firsts and Thirds in 2024 made for a very successful year. When was the last time Shore won a coupla major premierships in the same year?

No day boys allowed at Tahland...

Temporary grandstands, and complimentary hats, would be welcome additions. And a more reasonable ticket price.

Wandered down to sunny Bowral with Hawko yesterday, and ended up with a good dose of sunburn! The Bowral Blacks, with lots of assistance from the local council and NSWRU, put on a magnificent day with some 6,000 people attending. I must say I was mightily impressed with the number of Brumbies...
