This is why rugby is dying over officiated tripe, get it together IRB or the sports gone in a decade.

you also need to understand that Rugby Australia is flat broke, globally rugby might be more popular but in Australia it has never been less so even soccer has gone past it. At this point it is my opinion that Rugby Australia needs to shelve ideas of expanding the game and really knuckle down...

You don't understand the Australian sporting landscape, the local talent will never be their for the force or rebels for that matter. They are AFL strongholds and all the top athletic talent funnels into AFL, rugby will never make a dent on it not when the AFL has billions of dollars to keep...

No i don't agree with this, Australia simply doesn't have the depth of talent to break into 5 professional teams and compete with NZ and SA even 4 is a stretch but still doable, the sport is simply bigger in those countries while it sits 5th or 6th on the rung in Australia currently. By...

I see the similarities but it might be a bit premature to say Improved.

Ok it's done we lost to a better team we need to absorb it and move on, the immediate issue is we are going to have a large turnover of players. I feel at this point we need to have a clear succession plan for a number of positions, so i have put our current team as well as backups to show...

Hard to compare eras but Horan Umaga would go alright

Thats a bit of an incorrect conclusion to make from the survey, 37% are perhaps over invested but that does not necessarily mean the other 63% dislike rugby or the all blacks they just have higher priorities. It is also easy to lead people conducting a survey by the way you word the question or...

Does anyone know if Australia will go to No1 in the world if they win, it's trivial in comparison to winning the cup but they have never been ranked number 1 so it's a significant milestone.

My god I'm hyped for this match, the World Cup on the line 1v2 against our biggest rival ( To kiwi's a quick question who is your bigger rival us or SA, heard commentary last night saying it was SA i had just assumed it was Aus, more history Bledisloe and all that).

And heaven forbid we could also play Cooper <_<

So the two most successful Nations in World Cup history are finally going at it in the Final for the first time, only once has at least one of these teams not made the final of the World Cup and this will be both teams 4th final from 8 attempts. They have played each other 3 times previously at...
