Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
To be fair you can't blame the backs on a day like that. Rebels forwards were blown off the park. Tupou is overrated. He’s lazy. He’s got the tools to be the best player in the world. It’s the most frustrating thing in my life... That and still being on the waiting list for Royal Sydney. Agree and ...

Re: Irish Courts: U.K. not a safe country
According to that link Nigerians make up about 30% of the total so it's not mostly Nigerians. And Nigerians do come via boats just like other Africans and middle Eastern people (unless you have some stats that say all Nigerians come via Heathrow and claim asylum). What international law would compe...

Re: Auckland CBD Stadium Official Match Thread
Never going to get a separate stadium up there in my lifetime. We have 2 generations of infrastructure maintenance to catch up on first. I am fine with that - we do NOT need a national stadium.

Re: SR Rd 10. Brumbies V Canes: A Capital Affair!
I second this, and welcome our return to our more comfortable status of plucky underdogs. It says it all that even our 10, pivotal position though it is, couldn't make the top 3 for the 1 and 7 Crusaders. We really scraped the barrel for the dregs this season. No kidding, we were desperate enough t...

There are a few differences between these two teams. The principal one is the Chiefs have DMac and the 'tahs don't.

Re: War in Ukraine...
It's a good recap, it'll save lives but won't allow an offensive this year as noted. For mine the key issue now is more Ukraine's personnel, and morale at the front and in civilian life for the ordinary Ukrainians. It's tough, a constant flow of coffins returning home.

In the aftermath of this match I would not for anything be one of the Brumbies' ground staff.
