Waratahs vs Rebels Rnd 9 Super Rugby 2012

[Lee Grant]

Thank god they went back to Jones/Pyle in the row, why they picked Al Campbel last week Il'll never know

I wondered why he was picked also. In the 2nd half the commentators mentioned that he had been replaced but he was hooked well before oranges.

I watched him on goal line defence whilst young Jones was buzzing around from one defensive post to another. By contrast he was like a lost soul, without a clue what to do.

Around the time of the American Civil War they had a Know Nothing political party in the USA. Big Al looked like he was campaigning for it.

From hearing foley on the radio, he is still searching for A full team performance and said that he is keeping the startin side but the subs will get alot of minutes this week.

C'mon Tahs supporters, let's get behind our team. I'm going, rain hail or shine, anyone up for a beer at The Local Taphouse after?

Hellooooooo? Earth to Lindo!

Sounds tempting. How will the GAGRs be identified?

They'll be the ones talking about vasectomies and Climate Change whilst raising a glass to the ARU's RWC review.

Or for us visitors, the ones getting kicked out having started drinking 15 minutes in to the game.

One of the betting companies is giving odds of $1.12 for the Tahs, $5.50 for the Rebels. Now I reckon the Rebels will probably lose, but that's ridiculous.

Was just at the tab here in Sydney, Tahs were 1.10, rebels 6.

 

[wilful]

Well it's totaliser, so it's what the punters reckon.

But punters are mugs...

 

[qwerty51]

The line start at 14.5 is very nice.

 

[kronic]

I got on us at 6.75 between 1-12.

Need to ad an extra zero to that. 10-120.

Tahs bonus point win tonight, reds losing last night, brumbies probably lose at Loftus = Tahs to top of Australian conference. Not counting pre-hatched chickens or anything but fingers crossed

So that's what The Dougie is all about!

 

[Bruce Ross]

Australia used to have a rich tradition of rhyming slang which presumably derived from the cockney. Among the cognoscenti a phrase such as that above would normally be shortened to "having an Uncle" which would translate into "having a xxx".

Similarly with "having a Shirley" and "having an Edgar" which helps to keep alive respectively the memory of two great Australians, Miss Australia Shirley Bliss and jockey Edgar Britt. Their descendants may rightfully feel proud.

I doubt that has any connection with "The Dougie", whatever that is.

[Jnor]

AndI thought my old man was the only one still honouring Edgar's memory

 

[rugbysmartarse]

While not exactly a gen Yer, I do recall using Edgars and Kyber in relation to the fairer sex while at school.

I don't need math and prospect to get me excited about the Tahs Bruce, I meet everyday with the joy and love NSW rugby brings to everyone.
