I admit to having a poor memory, but I seem to recall quite a few years ago hearing a definition of a ball being out of a ruck was if a bird flying overhead was able to shit on the ball. This can only happen is the ball is past the last player and not covered by a leg. I particularly hate when...

This really annoys me, I think making the Wallabies is too easy, and has been this way for a long time. There cannot be too many Super Rugby players who have played Super Rugby for more than 5 years who have not played at least one test as a starter or from the bench. The majority of games...

Thats ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion on jersey colours, even if they are wrong:D I think given we won a competition in the Red jerseys that we could at least have a throw back jersey for nostalgic reasons. I also think the Red jerseys were a better indigenous jersey too.

Yet another week on Offsiders on ABC without a mention of Rugby, it amazes me how they just ignore the entire sport, even for a 30 second grab.

Can he kick? I would think the first thing he needs to get to international level is being able to kick a ball, Australia needs a back 3 who can all kick the ball well

I wish we had red jerseys

That sounds good, until your team loses because time was wasted with 10 minutes and a second to go. I think the laws should apply for all of the game, or not at all. If I had my way games would go longer as I would reset the clock when advantage is not gained and you go back to the penalty.

The time is a maximum, not a minimum time. I am all for stopping the clock throughout the entire game not just the end of a close game. I would particularly like it stopped for scrum resets, stop time until the ball is out of the scrum.

I would have had Thomas to 9 and Tate to the wing, he has filled in there a couple of times under Thorn when players got injured and did ok.

I have been getting frustrated at time wasting while waiting for the shot clock for conversions or penalties to run down. Last night Mackenzie was set up and ready to kick and then just stood there watching the clock. Surely Law 9 - Foul Play/Unfair Play 7d Waste time should come into play...

What does reach mean? Is that a guess at how many are watching each TV? The number surprises me, we have a TV at work that often has league on it and I don't think anyone knew the game was on.

I would have him as my backup 7, Liam Wright would be my starting 6

would one cap make him any better?

Jooste a fluke?

It was a bit disappointing this morning to see Offsiders on ABC have no mention of Rugby. While I have gotten used to this as a long time viewer, surely a 10 second mention of the conditions in Sydney last night could have made to cut?

He wouldn't be my first choice, I would have Gordon at 10 and Lonergan at 9. I think the upside for Gordon is greater than what you would lose with Lonergan over McDermott.

Lonergan or White? Why is it only up to 10's to have this skill? John Eales was pretty handy under pressure so there are opportunities for others to kick.

It looked like head to the knee

kicking should not be the only criteria, he passed a perfect cut out pass that has not been seen in Australia since Cooper was playing, he can defend better than other 10's. I think he brings the opportunity for more points than he would lose from poor kicking to the team so would be a...

I am not smart enough to know if this explains it, 7 rugby laws you didn't know, look at the squad size chapter
