Growing up, from when I was just running, we would go to watch the local rugby team play on saturday afternoons. I "played" "league" on the side of the field while the local team played from when I was tiny. I say league because it was probably less than 10 of us playing and you'd get tackled...

Foley might not be too impressed with Vicks publicly giving his support to Elsom.

T'would be sad if true.

That is what many of the grievances posted are derived from although no one else has acknowledged it. My view is that professional rugby took us down a path which was inevitable and has consequences, some of which, weren't anticipated and some of which have yet to play out. The commercial and...

Cat_A - thanks for posting. It puts our own posts in context. It's a world cup year, so my "rugby moments" gravitate to that as it is, whether we like it or not, the focus of international teams on a four year cycle... For me, it was the ABs winning the RWC. As I mentioned at the time, there...

What we need is a formulaic relationship between supporter decibels and referee decision making. The mathematicians are the crazy prophets on the hill!

I think there's a fair bit of grumpy old menitis (GOM) in this thread. No one complained about Ben Tune's aeroplane celebration back in the day.

I know its being pedantic, but if you don't mean Horan and Campese great, that suggests you don't mean great at all. What other kind of great player is there? Carter is adequate and not much more. He's suited the Tahs limited game plan over the last few years. Whether he continues to do so...

That makes sense. Players from the Pacific Island nations aren't considered foreign in the French leagues are they?

James Lakepa and Paul Dearlove too?

How does he "tackle the ball"? And why don't you put up a clip to show us otherwise I fear this thread will die a quick death.

You're not trying hard enough. ZG may be trying a bit too hard.

There'll be some upsets in Beunos Aries and not, I predict, just when the Wallabies win there.

Rougerie should be cited by the independent commissioner or some other IRB monkey and banned big time. That is filthy.

12 on 12 doesn't even happen on most first phase ball. The flankers will cover the 10 and the 10 will slide onto the 12 to allow those outside to cover the fullback joining the line. Defending in your 22 they may go man on man.

We lost games because we couldn't score tries. The ball the backs got wasn't always great, but they needed to use it better nevertheless. The centres were part of that problem. Both McCabe and Fainga'a can fit within an attacking game plan but not as they have been used for the Wallabies. If...

Rugby league premiership winner (multiple), State of Origin winner (multiple), rugby league test match winner (maybe titles in there), Super rugby winner (multiple), Rugby World Cup winner. And he carries himself with professionalism and dignity in whatever he does. Respect.

Well done ABs. I was cheering you. There are some truly magnificent rugby men in that AB squad and a World Cup winners medal is a worthy addition to their cabinet. Respect.

What about if refs can only ever give 10 mins but during that 10mins the video ref can decide whether its red or not? It does add to the uncertainty but might produce fairer results.

Wales might disagree with this. We were deservedly beaten by Ireland, almost by the Boks and then by the ABs.
