Great, so this package signals the new reality. The Russians are committed to achieving pre-1991 territory and we have to drain the tank to defend Europe. Happy days.

Which is more than be claimed for most of the investigations that get allowed into Israeli actions. If an investigation happens at all.

Yep, he needs another 10 kgs of muscle.
That’s probably 3 years away and would certainly detract from his cardio, agility and pace.

How did the test go? Did they find traces of blood in the bad shit?

What was it he did in the end? Looked at some only fans or something? Well done social media, you've done it again. I believe he paid a vulnerable 17 year old for some sexually explicit pictures.

I don't see serious potential at test level. I see a player who has tried very hard in a struggling team but has ultimately had zero impact on results. The Crusaders lineout has been terrible. Probably the worst ever Crusaders lineout. Sam Whitelock in contrast had serious potential when he was you...

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

Not being a sports bettor or any manner of bettor, I didn't realise TAB (and maybe others) still recognise a draw in soup rugby as a result for wagering purposes.

A few weeks ago we had a whole heap of games within 10 points of each other and things were getting exciting. Now we seem to be lucky to get one close game and the rest of blowouts.

Yes but a lot of them are bandwagoning the situation. The only thing Rugby needs is a few more shot clocks to eliminate f**king around. Nah.

I was just asking the question. Arvo games in Australia definitely clash with club and school rugby, so I’d suggest that would constrain the potential crowd. Do most/many AFL or NRL fans even play their sport? They certainly don’t get 10k crowds at school games on Saturday afternoons. That would be...

TV rights? I’m not so sure. Does Sky sell ads for SR games? Otherwise, I’m not sure why subscribers would bail if games weren’t on at night, though perhaps they would. Wouldn’t arvo games clash with community, school and NPC rugby? The respective equivalent games don't seem to clash with NRL or AFL...

Just watched this game. I love it when the plucky underdog comes from behind to win a game. Sadly, it was not the case here. Force were excellent.

Pretty poor move trying to do that to someone and using the term "being Jewish", the police will rightly be questioned as to what on earth they were thinking.
