Hi all, I started Green and Gold Rugby (GAGR) in 2007 as an experiment: it was the time before social media and there were these new things called ‘blogs’ – I wanted to find out how they worked. There was a Rugby World Cup that year, why not Aussie rugby? Four World Cups later and GAGR has...

I think the Twitter bug is fixed now?

Gidday all, You're probably noticing the forum has been upgraded - you're welcome! I'm not even fully across all the bonza new features, but the responsive layout means it'll be schmick as on mobile as well. If you come across anything being broken (outside of Dismal) then let us know and...

Hi All, Apologies for the radio silence - the back end of the year was a fucker It would have been worth starting a shut down rumour just for this thread and Dismal's Hitler Vid. The truth is that we have been discussing the future of the mega brand industrial rugby publishing complex that...

Joeys win the comp, Wallabies smash the All Blacks. Coincidence? Fuck no. Good has triumphed. Karma has returned to the universe. There is balance once more. Supporters of other schools should be happy that we are all back into the way the planets are meant to align. To accept your fate...

Pity about the 5ths

Anyone got a review of Joeys vs View?

Shipping 3 tries with a man in the bin suggests you’re not that close in the first place.

‘I am aware’ sounds as solid as ‘it would appear’

Accusations of this kind based on rumour (“it would appear”) are even worse.

Anyone able to tell me the years the Joeys backline are in? (@joker?)

It certainly was - you shoulda been there! ;) This was an old school SJC win - and in front of a braying Scots crowd at Bellevue hill, is there any sweeter? Particularly as it followed the pre match video oration from the headmaster in which he reminded us of the 125th anniversary and how they...

37-20 in Mendoza is a good win, esp with shonky kicking. Attacking shape was great in the centre esp considering the number of newbies on the pitch: Koroibete (needs a nickname), Rodda and Dempsey, Tui as reserve and Faulkner. Flat and regularly over the ad line. Good handling and skills. I...

It's a new minimalist theme

Luckily it's not part of the move!

And that's the last we'll be hearing from KAOPointlessman

Yes, for example that set piece try you saw on the weekend didn't actually happen nor did the other two tries created by the 10's running and passing into space. Let me get Rex Tillerson on the line to classify your post because I think you may have set a new bar

That over simplifies it. Forwards getting dominated can push a 10 back. But a 10 standing deep, compounded by slow pill makes it more likely for the ball to get caught behind the gain line (even if your pigs are at parity). And most of your pack is then 5m in front of the ball at previous...

I loved the 9-10 combo from this match. Lightning service from Genia to Foley flat on the ad line is hard for anyone to handle. Because of this we're no longer talking about 'the forwards not giving Genia & Cooper good enough ball', because Genia and Foley are making the ball good. This...
