    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] Australia vs. Ireland (09/06/2018)

    I get how they work mate. I just think it’s a f#cking stupid system. You can disagree if you like, but the logic of reversing a try over an incidental infringement several minutes before your side has even had the ball could very reasonably by revised to extend it to revising scores at the end...

    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] South Africa vs. England (09/06/2018)

    This had to be the match of the weekend. I thought England were going to win by 60 after the first 15 mins when they went up 24-3 - how they managed to lose and concede the next 5 tries before a late flurry to make the score close will be very troubling to Eddie "Traitor" Jones. Only thing that...

    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] Australia vs. Ireland (09/06/2018)

    As was pointed out already - the call was from several minutes earlier before we even had the call and it was a contentious call at best given it was a decoy runner. By the logic of that time frame you might as well have the refs go over the game after it’s finished and adjust the score after...

    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] Australia vs. Ireland (09/06/2018)

    In rugby league they’d have applied common sense and understood it had zero impact on the try. Just saying, but it’s a classic example of why no one watches the game here anymore. Too much indecision and ambiguity over decisions. So much **** is let go in the course of a game FFS... calling a...

    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] Australia vs. Ireland (09/06/2018)

    I dont know really, the All Bllacks have strung together plenty more than 3 wins in a row on our shores over the past 15 years on a number of occasions. Australia havent been a world class side since 2003 really and as happy Is was with the win tonight my god our tactical kicking was just plain...

    [2018 6 Nations] Round 5 : England v Ireland (17/03/2018)

    Poms finished strong, but it was all too little too late. To be honest, throughout the entire series I’ve felt England have looked a bit robotic, predictable and lacking in intensity. It’s quite interesting in a lot of ways, as I remember hearing Phil Kearns at an event not long after Eddie was...

    [2018 6 Nations] Round 5 : England v Ireland (17/03/2018)

    You're kidding yourself if you don't think they do... it absolutely happens. I remember Sydney Morning Herald journo Spiro Zavos massively slagging off the Crusaders one year as being no-hopers and when they went on to win the comp the coach unabashedly said he made the players read that article...

    [Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

    Now you know how we felt against you lot during our last match at Twickers ;) . I was pretty interested to see how the Scots would go in this one, as I always felt an upset was on the cards in light of England's increasingly pedestrian performances of late. Most of their games they've fallen...

    The Ashes 2017-18

    6 wickets in the first session... don’t know if it was as good a batting wicket as people said. Both second innings saw the ball swinging all over the shop and England really fell apart today

    World Cup

    Bloody good final - England really brought their A-game, but just made too many errors in the end... Hope Bennett stays on as coach for them though - he's clearly done them a tonne of good.

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    lol With your block posts that are almost entirely bereft of punctuation I can assure you that “good English” isn’t your forte.

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    lol you're really not sure? I'll give you a hint champ - it was this part: As I wrote above though, I'm happy for you to elaborate a little more on that so you can better explain the personal brilliance of his work destroying the code in Australia.

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    Wow... the mental gymnastics you’re attempting to employ here to paint Pulver as some sort of genius is truly spectacular. It’s got to be the most impressive example of bullshit spinning I’ve seen this side of a Trump press conference. But please, go ahead and humour me by explaining how...

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    Really? So you’re familiar with financial modeling and you still think what Pulver “and his cohorts” did made “good business sense”?? You’re not a Bond “University” alumni by any chance are you? Seriously though, the decision was so manifestly NOT good business sense that it is still...

    The Ashes 2017-18

    lol TBH I tend to share similar feelings when watching you guys play the poms in Cricket or Rugby, but almost always end up siding with South Africa because the England rivalry just sits deep in the bones and at least you lot wear green and gold too :P

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    I think you’ve rather neatly captured the attitude that has seen Rugby in Australia fall into its current state of gross disrepair. I’d also add that anyone who thinks Union isn’t concerned about quarterly earnings - even if you were just talking about Australia - has never read a financial...

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    Mate you’re kidding yourself if you think the game doesn’t want wider appeal in Australia. That was the whole point of their League poaching raids! As for international audiences - they’re comforting and all, but they don’t really pay the bills. Just ask soccer in Aus. More people in the region...

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    Some people in Union here are switched on, but that sadly doesn’t include the jokers who run the game... The main structural issue the game faces is actually Super Rugby; its both the key source of funding to the game here and its biggest handicap. That’s because Super Rugby is cable TV...

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] Scotland vs. Australia (25/11/2017)

    Very tough ask for a code that is effectively bankrupt in Australia and just had to cut back the number of pro teams it runs... the trouble with the idea of increasing grass roots investment is it tends to just help League because Union is a pay TV sport with almost no profile among most of the...
