Re: That Amazon 'Lord of the Rings' miniseries
Enjoyed the last episode. Totally infatuated with Galadriel. I'm not a boob man ... I get besotted with well defined athletic calf muscle ... and eyes. Galadriels eyes are mind blowing.

Re: All Blacks vs Wallabies @Melbourne (15th September) & Auckland (Saturday 24th)
Quite a special championship title for the ABs. By far the hardest draw having to play the World Champions away twice. Gutsy effort to come through with the silverware.

But do we have the cattle up front to change fortunes? Thankfully learning these lessons now and experiencing Northern Hemisphere officiating i...

Re: Bledisloe II: All Blacks vs Wallabies: MATCH THREAD: Sat 14th August
 Watched those highlights. Pretty devastating. I'm waiting for those SA V NZ games. Thinking NZ will win both games comfortably but want to see how NZ move the Boks forwards around and deal with that Bok rush defense. No chance. Saffas will disrupt our set piece and breakdown and rush up. ABs can ce...

Re: Bledisloe II: All Blacks vs Wallabies: MATCH THREAD: Sat 14th August
Wobblies have the makings of a solid team and should not be underestimated. I’d like to see the ABs 8 forwards and keep it tight in the first 40. Hide the ball up the jumper and just grind with RM controlling field position. Then if they have earned the right ... send it wide. Rarely have an AB team...

Was at tonight’s game and the second half was certainly entertaining. Don’t think either team will be happy with their execution tonight. And an 18-9 penalty count against the ABs is a disgrace.

Given the current state of NSW and the growing numbers in Queensland Victoria how plausible is it that the Rugby Championship be moved to NZ and played in front of full stadiums? Assuming of course the govt let the other teams in and quarantine appropriately.

As always with these tier 1 test matches it’s the tight 5 and battle at the breakdown that will determine the outcome. All Blacks have the edge at 9 and 10 and in the tights 5. Wallabies back row is very good but they will have to bring their “A” tackling game. Hooper is a very fine 7 and ball carri...

By end of Viv Richards wonderful career he was batting at no 6 for the Windies. He started his test career as an opener. Spent the majority at no3 and 4 during his peak and then moved to 5 and 6. He was still good for a quick fire 70 odd when his team needed it. Father Time waits for no one. Reflexe...
