    Round 3: Waratahs v Highlanders - Friday 8 March 2024

    I’d certainly be happy if the Tahs had as much ticker as you clearly do, my friend.

    Round 3: Waratahs v Highlanders - Friday 8 March 2024

    Genuine question. Name me one Tahs player with ‘mongrel’. just one... The Reds have plenty. The Brumbies have chippy blokes, which is nearly as good we’ve got Tarquin Pemberton-Smythe from Scots FMD

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    That duck a l’orange advert is still one of the funniest things I‘ve seen. The drop bear one was gold as well. Aahh, the golden era of Aussie rugby being on primetime ads. Seems like a lifetime ago.

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    I read somewhere Schmidt plans that he’ll bring new players in if the skills/players he has available aren’t up to it. i’m assuming Bundee aki is up for another go-around?

    Btw, saw Owen Finegan recently. Poor bugger looks like all those hit-ups have extracted a toll

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    True. I guess the question may come down to selecting players based on their willingness to play to the plan. Brumbies fans should be happy

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    Schmidt favours a choreographed style of play that requires discipline and accuracy. We should be fine… …right?

    Ostensibly two divisions but the 2nd division is a bit scratch, with basketball scores. St Augs vs St Paul’s is the highlight of the cup, with club mates bashing the shit out of each other. The whole thing relies on teachers organising after school. Has been patchy in recent years

    Or just lie down in front of the man, allowing him to trip over you. No one gets hurt. :)

    FWIW, they probably did have it in writing, in some form (perhaps a standard, template 'participation agreement') with a standard match fee and standard terms. Then Laporte and Hammer (mostly likely) varied it via handshake, with the amount we were getting increased. The French claimed it...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I’m just stunned that the Wallabies get on a plane and play in a foreign country without a whole nailed-down ‘playing agreement’ between the Unions. Things like insurance, accomodation, travel, match fees. They seem like things that get put into a formal agreement, don’t they? it’s not like...

    The mighty deal-maker didn’t get it in writing. You couldn’t make this stuff up. No one would believe you.

    Yes in my experience and recollection they are not regular and were a bit of a one-off. Usually one for metro and one for country. I recall a couple of lads making the CHS team but the CHS team is (anyway) usually jammed-full of leaguies moonlighting to union to get a rep jersey and boost their...
