Valetini And Gleeson likely both out for the opener… Tom Hooper set to start at 6. Shame if true. Makes me also think Skelton will be starting if Hooper is at 6. Gotta be more than two in the lineout able to be lifted and reliably able to catch. Williams, Hooper and Wilson could do that. Skelton a ...

Lets keep the wokeness levels in check. I made it pretty clear I wasn't singling any of them out, it just happened to be the one he chose.

Tig -er is close enough for Tadgh alright. Maybe I'm always pronouncing Dafydd wrong but isn't it just Dafeed? Another one we had in the Irish U20s was the commentator calling Oisin Minogue, Ocean.

Tackle success, eh? What’s better? A player that busts their nut to attempt a covering tackle that saves a try even though the tackle was technically missed, or a player that doesn’t reach the attacker and the try is scored? It’s a shit metric that is used by people that want to find insights with ...

Yes that and that international league really isn’t a thing and the Kangaroos dominate that anyway. State of Origin and the NRL are the most important things in Australian rugby league. I guess it’s similar to America’s NFL in terms of importance of the domestic game (although there’s no real inter...

Was such a deflating game. It really was like a pub team v a proper team. After about 10 minutes it was obvious what was going to happen and concentration turned to the stadium beers.
