Now that chinless wingnut Charlie Battenberg's 'Onya mate!' letter to Sir John Turd is public knowledge, one wonders whether it will have much impact. It was one fúck of a long time ago, after all. Even so, played right it could be decisive in ridding Straya of the Crown link once Lizzie Battenberg...

They should do it during haka.

It was a mistake sure, but I'm saying Goodhue would've scored anyway. The only reason the inside defenders got to Goodhue is because Goodhue slowed down once he knew he had created the overlap. Which in no way negates the principle - outside defenders stick to your man and trust the inside defender...

It wouldn't have mattered. Had he not come in Goodhue would've scored. It was the inside defenders fault, shouldn't have let Goodhue get on his outside. No. The outside man sticks to his man so as not to gift an overlap. It is a fundamental thing that 10 year olds learn. IIRC the inside defender go...

Toomua crocked for the year Bummer. It looked to me on Sunday that Rennie was experimenting with a defensive pattern where he looped to make the wingers' tackles for them, so the backrowers (Samu the week before) didn't have to do that as well as their own job.

1. Scrum was OK, and lineout was better. 2. The ABs shaded the wobs in the breakdown, probably got more turnovers than the wobs (haven't checked the stats). 3. Wobs packed lacked urgency and violence hitting the ruck, compared with the ABs. 4. Hannigan had a good game, Simmons is a cream puff. White...

New Zealand had some pretty cool birds - the Moa was badass - but they got rid of them all. Ow they have a fat parrot that can’t fly and you use a glorified bin chook as your national bird. On the other hand we have both physcho birds like the cassowary, a majestic wedge tail eagle, a bird that win...

He has to be in the 23. I would put him on the bench in place of Lolesio. He will not be needed this week. It’s no place for a very young 10 to debut, especially when we already have 2 10s on the park. JP needs to go injury free for a while so absolutely no need to push him. 20-30 minutes this week...

But Hanigan is a backrower. Not a lock, even at Super level.

Simmons > Hanigan.
Actually, he is a lock at super rugby level.
He's not a lock's arsehole, m8.

Simmons thing is calling the line out.

It's failure may be his exit.

FF couldn’t throw for shit. Neither can BPA. Uelese struggles too but he is better around the ground and better in the scrum than the other two. BPA plays like a 6.

You can't blame the ref CI. Tupou is too raw to understand the method of countering whatever it was his opponent was doing to milk the penalties.

Well, nobody saw that coming. The NZrs looked a bit flabergasted in the interviews; maybe they believed the press and went in overconfident. Still, it showed up some serious problems that Rennie needs to sort out. The first one is that Tupo is not functioning as a #3. That means his primary job is t...

It seems like the smart money will be on Fox on cable (paying a bit less than they have on the table now) but along with a mix of FTA and streaming paying extras. With 9 still trying hard to pretend they aren't interested.
