Kerevi did occasionally blow an opportunity, Which he only got occasionally.

In sydney, the three school associations that value rugby are GPS, CAS and ISA They each have their own championship comp. In which the same 2-3 teams win it for decades at a time.

What a disgrace. The govt's delivery on their vaccine promises have been abject failure.Greg Hunt has proven himself another talking sock puppet, full of BS promises. Australia's vaccine performance. is piss poor when compared to other developed countries... if not the worst. Aussie politicians tal...

I didn't go to Newington.

Btw the preferred acronym is 'SHS'

Someone told me you went to Newington.

Nope. Japan.

Aus of almost exclusively gone with AZ vaccine, of course it is the vaccine with the blood clot problems.

We'll see the real state of Australian rugby when they play the NZ teams. :nod: Thread Kiwied. Shit post Les. I know you're just indulging in a bit of chest beating, but whether or not they win a single game is not determinative. it is a component factor, but there are others that are much more imp...

Mog, Shanky is correct. Justin Harrison correctly stated the laws being applied. Timing is of the essence. Law 16.2: [A maul] consists of a ball-carrier and at least one player from each team, bound together and on their feet The ref has to determine if the ball is shifted too early, or the front ma...

Sydney University is now actually more powerful and influential than any of the genuine district clubs. Fixing that might achieve something. I was wondering when your obsession with Uni-hate would emerge. It is actually a great example of the sort of entrenched parochialism that is retarding the pr...

You might want to look at the blatant offsides by your mob.

Ellafan

Waratahs would have won that if the cynical play by the ponies had been referred properly.

At one stage the ref said 'next offside is a yellow' - and then seemed to promptly forget that for the next penalty in the 22. Even in the final seconds the brumbies 7 blatantly cheated.

Maybe it's my tall poppy syndrome kicking in but I can see this fizzing out poorly.

How much are they paying?

Not the match of the round though, according to the 'toota podcast.

Yeah, but you only think that because of your stroke. Well look at that. This is trolling at almost Guy Smiley or Kiwias levels of grubbiness.

Do they say he was quite popular and was not bullied?

Is Green a stronger T20 player than what we saw in the tests? He's only played a dozen games so not enough info. He did score a fast 80 odd against India on a wearing test pitch, so those who have anointed him as the new Kieth Miller might not be wrong. I'd selected him ahead of the pack, because c...

Nice series win for NZ. You think? They were playing the Australian 3rd XI (or 2nd XI at best), on home pitches. They should have won this series 5-zip. In the end they won it by a boundary in game 2. Lots of work to do before the TTWC to be a serious threat. What a crappy comment. Were you saving ...
