Do Gaelic football skills translate to union Irish posters ? That was some flick kick. If you play Gaelic football as a kid you would have natural skills that would translate re kicking, fielding balls, catching and passing. Hand eye and overall observation would be good aswell, Gaelic is a 360 deg...

Yet again.. We don't turn up to when it counts. So much for not going out on a whimper. I think this team has reached it's potential with toonie. By Toonie do you mean Townsend? I think he has them over performing given the players at his disposal tbh Yea. The key difference is Ireland forwards tak...

I thought the idea of hiring Eddie was that after this WC he step away from managing the team and take up Australia director of rugby role?

Not knowing much about rugby league, the players that rugby Australia seem to go after are all backs.

Is there any positions in rugby league comparible to positions within the pack?

These Aus players are so average, it's like a flashback to watching late-2000s England, although I struggle to remember Harry Ellis and Andy Goode giving a worse halfback performance than McDermott and Donaldson today Are they though? Bring back in Skelton and I think they have a good team, packed ...

This is terrible for world rugby but the team fearing this defeat most will be the AB's. They need a strong AUS in super rugby. Hopefully Aus get back to the top soon. Well played Wales I was thinking the same. This is bad for NZ also. Has to be so bad, Aus and NZ at this stage need to come togethe...

No no. The Oirish "neutrals" were right.

This is a terrible Welsh side.

It is a terrible Welsh side, Aus have way better players than you

You lose a lot though. Sa are dangerous out wide with Libbok
I haven't watched much of pollard lately but is he not utter shite apart from goal kicking.

At least Libbok can get a backline going
That's exactly what I'm saying. They're reverting to 10 man rugby

Then let them

Esteemed Irish bored hero, Duff Paddy, has Ireland 50/50 in a potential NZ 1/4 final. Would have preferred France. We could still lose to Scotland! But honestly I think knock out games all bets are off, NZ are still a good enough team to knock Ireland over if we face them. Easily. They’re a group o...

Nche who stood on VDFs hand. Not sure if accidental but doesn't look great. I didn't see that but I posted in the match thread that Aki screamed at the ref twice early in second half that they broke VDF hand on purpose and VDF said back to him to him say nothing. If he did he should get f**king boo...

And what if Ireland have a hooker that doesn't miss? Which they will do

The physicality was too much. On another day SA do win with a fly half like Ford or Sexton behind them. Tragedy to have a pack that powerful and leave 15/16 pts on the table. Make no mistake though.. France vs SA will be just as brutal and France are also going to have to work out how to deal with ...

What this does cover is how careful famous men need to be, you would literally want to have a signed legal document before you have sex.

I'm ignoring the first woman who accused brand what seems like legitimate rape but the rest is just aggrieved woman, fudge me.

What exactly are the allegations? Not defending Brand, I think he's a weirdo. Just curious. The bloke seems like he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag, let alone man handle anyone.

As shit as the AB were France were shit aswell.

Sean Edwards rugby league style rush defense is the key to beating France, kick the ball behind that rush line and they are all over the place in defence.

McCaffrey is 29, if he retires it will be to concentrate on his career though so he may well do
