Crap journalism, that. There won't be any accountability either. They're putting very specific words into Waugh's mouth ("cheat" + "illegal manhandling") which he doesn't seem to have said. If quotation marks are used like that it's to show that that is exactly what someone said. Remove those...

He's not the only one who put a nice inflammatory twist on it. Check out the misplaced quotation marks in this (SA) write-up of it: http://www.rugby365.com/tournaments/super14/news/2196420.htm

Dudes need to watch this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Lx2ihpGbc Not that I buy the argument that speedos are ever appropriate. Maybe if you're swimming in an event which awards medals, or swimming across a croc-infested river... Maybe.

At least none of the forwards were involved.

I very much doubt Twickenham would sell out. They were nowhere near sold out for the Baa-baas match vs NZ, which at least had a few Europeans playing in it. If they want to sell out Twickenham their best bet would be to not play England that tour, which I can't see either team doing.

Great effort from the lads to bounce back like that. From what I've read the Force were huge at the breakdown and in the scrum. Considering the Sharks were playing an all-boks front row that's pretty encouraging. I hear our lineout was dominant too, and that Pocock seems to be adapting well to...

40-0 at halftime is a serious indictment on our depth. Not a good year to be a new Force fan, looks like. At least the young blood know where they stand now -- miles off the pace. More importantly, Mitchell has a better idea where he stands. No Giteau this year will really show if he has what it...

Can't find these games being broadcast anywhere. What the hell is the point of having pay tv if they don't show all the rugby?? Looks like I'll have to figure out exactly when the matches are on and then find dodgy internet feeds. ::)

Expectations: 1. Our lineout to improve to at least European standard. 2. Our forwards to improve in getting numbers to the breakdown. 3. Mindgames with the refs from the Saffas and Henry/Cron about illegalities in our scrum ahead of the trinations. 4. Evidence that Deans has given serious...

As a West Australian I'm already halfway there. We've voted daylight savings out every time we've been given the option of voting on it, yet the farking pollies keep forcing it on us! The last lot introduced it at the very start of their term, the bastards. Might be harder to work up a victim...

Finally just got my ausstar connected, and looking forward to my first full season of super rugby. As a western australian I have to support the force, even though my fav players are all in other teams atm. Out of interest, are there any teams I'm morally obliged to dislike as a Force supporter...

During the episode devoted to THP on ruggamatrix Ewen McKenzie remarked that Baxter's build actually counts against him because his back is too long. Apparently a long back is a bad thing to have as a prop. Something to do with leverage.

Maybe the next time the Wallabies and Springboks play against each other PdV will bring Gary along on his meeting with the ref to explain what lousy cheaters we are. It seemed to do the trick for Graham Henry and Mike Cron.

I bet she saw the shitstorm that erupted over QC (Quade Cooper)'s charging and decided she could blackmail him into giving her cash. I'm not saying that's why he pushed her over, I'm saying that's why she's bringing it up now. Looking for a settlement. I'm guessing there wasn't a lot in it in the first place.

The more I read, the more I'm convinced that a MMORPG was involved. If only it were drugs. :'(

I'm guessing the reason he broke in has nothing to do with money, in which case it was a crime of passion. Crime of passion = woman. He's been away for a fair while, so it makes sense to me that it'd be a girlfriend who'd broken up with him recently (possibly while on tour). It's all very...

:lmao:

So soon after his return, there must've been a woman involved. A cheating woman, is my guess. Hence the police on the scene. Just a guess though.

Wonder what the story was? It's not like he would've been sneaking in to steal a telly and some dvds. If Harrison can still get picked in a s14 side after his hijinx I don't think a breaking-and-entering charge for unknown reasons is going to kill Cooper's career.

Great game, though somewhat depressing to see how much a winger with Habana's pace would suit the Aussie gameplan. Probably a bit depressing for him too to see how easy it would be to play for a team who gave him the ball in a bit of space instead of making him fetch it. Regardless of british...
