Eddie was again evasive about his future in the presser. That could be because it’s not up to him though.

Your point being?

We don’t need to beat NRL and AFL. we need to coexist with them. They are domestic products, rugby is an international product and to be competitive we need to attract the best athletes. If the best player from each NRL and AFL team had never gone to those sports and played rugby from the...

Faessler was offside in a maul and then 2 minutes later Kerevi got one the same as 4 years ago v Fiji where he got booked for fending a tackler with his elbow.

Yes, do that next year and come across in ‘25

Nicola apparently asked Hamish the other day in France if there was a way she could help out.....hopefully he’s on the blower to her right now.

I blame the 8 minutes we were down to 13 players for it. I was thinking near the end if we scored again how accurate the markets prediction was. I’ll blame the same 8 minutes for that too.

Is there a ‘sky blue and white rugby’ forum you can hang out on instead? Even Italy scored 2 tries v the All Blacks in that drubbing. We didn’t play very well and had to take a few risks to ensure we got the bonus point. Got maximum points both in terms of the RWC pool and WR (World Rugby) rankings.

Gee that crowd was hostile. Definitely an away game for us. A poor (likely) end to our year although we achieved the objective of a bonus point win to keep our RWC pulse alive. I wouldn’t write Portugal off v Fiji, they have a crack. What was the score when our 4ths played Portugal? Quite...

Hopefully one of these benefactors has enough money to get Nathan Cleary. He’s properly the answer to our #10 issues. Bring his old man into the fold too.

For the punters among us - the line for the margin is currently 26.5 pts. The line for the total points scored 58.5 pts. If you do the maths on that the implied score is 42-16. I can't see any way Portugal score 16 points and I don't see us scoring less than 50. The line at 26.5 is a low risk...

I'm a bit Switzerland on the Tomthumb v Bullrush thing. Super Rugby Pacific is fine as long as we are competitive and is probably a better player development competition in that scenario. But at the moment we need eyes on screens and bums on seats, and Super Rugby AU or another domestic comp...

Absolutely. The best fitness is match fitness, and our players don't play enough as it is. Resting players made no sense considering the schedule. And then our two most important players get injured at lineout practice anyway. At least it's only a World Cup year thing - currently at least.

We have to get a bonus point tonight and then Portugal have to beat Fiji next week and Fiji not get a bonus point. I doubt they will be going full on at training next week, put it that way.

There is a bit of speculation around that Nicola Forrest might come to the rescue. Twiggy has favoured the West historically as that is where he is from, but Nicola is a massive supporter of the game and is from Central West NSW.

Yeah the forward pass, at least award the try and go upstairs to check, it wasn't obviously forward. It may have been forward but it at least deserved to be looked at like every other try. And then about 20 bombed tries as well.

Absolutely, but not all. Sua’ali’i was ID’d by Kings when he was playing junior rugby at Eastwood (they have a close association with Kings), but the Bunnies had their eye on him as well and they started picking up the tab later. Crichton was always going to go to Scots, my understanding with...
