Use it like the Lions do. Pick your elites. This was just a load of piss artists having a chuck around. Mind you, wouldn’t that team be the ABs plusk Valetini and maybe an Aussie centre?…oh and Bell. He’s a gun. It doesn't have to be a copy of the Lions. It could be a chance for players on the outs...

As I write that it makes you realise the late 90s and 2000s were really the time for Rugby to grow at RLs expense. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity while RL was in disarray. The Lions tour and World Cup got huge traction and the Super Rugby teams were getting great crowds and had financial c...

We've already got this numbnuts giving his opinion. Which usually isn't worth much, but he's speaking to the nation. And I'm afraid, although it still could be something great, the majority don't have the balls to give it a real crack and will agree with him. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/anzac-team-...

In the build up to this there was a lot of talk about what a great concept the AUNZ was and how it should be used more often. I guess this result and game has killed the idea dead.

So it was that bad you watched it for 1 hour? Bizarre really. I think most would have been this is a crock of shit and turned over after 30 seconds. Well done for sticking it out though. It was fascinating. And ended with a "highlight" where Nathan Hindmarsh rubbed his balls on some dudes head. I g...

Was such a deflating game. It really was like a pub team v a proper team. After about 10 minutes it was obvious what was going to happen and concentration turned to the stadium beers. I wish they could have had more prep time together. Seems like a waste of a game. Exactly how I feel. Unfortunately...

Only relevant in more than half of Australia by population then. Let's also just ignore that Melbourne Storm average 20k and in a city that can't sustain a Rugby team. Lets also ignore that Rugby League has more players in Western Australia than Rugby Union, with no current NRL team, which will gro...

League has a napoleon complex. They're only relevant in NSW/QLD a chunk of Auckland and Doncaster, England. What's funny is that here in US everyone just calls league rugby anyway, so they're just promoting rugby union in a way. :lol: Only relevant in more than half of Australia by population then....

This is a nice synopsis of what's so wrong with a lot of rugby analysis these days. One guy works his balls off for 80 minutes, up and down the wing as well as coming infield as an extra playmaker. The other guy hangs about on the wing and walks in three tries that were handed to him on a plate by ...

Wales would probably be 40 points down at this point tbf
They'd be 100 down.
1000000 surely

This Italian team has been disappointing I must admit. They'd still prolly beat Wales though so ... shrug.

I don't think it's made much local impact but it's a good event for the NRL. Lots of Aussies come over for it. Was on a flight from Sydney to SF in February and it seemed like half the plane was on their way to the match. Not just fans of the 4 teams playing either. That maybe true, but the way tho...

Disappointing from Italy, I hoped for more.

With the cards, they should have been able to.push this. Boks just too strong and too gritty with a whole stadium behind them.

You’re once again spectacularly wrong. Must take some effort, Obviously you have minimal on field experience. Worse than that happens in every scrum and ruck. No it really doesn’t amongst professionals with large amounts of digital cameras on them That you were a dirty player not really a doubt. I ...

Leading with the head.

Always a red.

It not being really hard blow isn’t the question once there’s a deliberate act.

That explains an awful lot.

Fair.

Okay I just saw the replay. In my opinion that's bullshit. I want Italy to do well but that was less a headbutt and more just getting in someone's face. With a teeny headbutt. Red very harsh imo.

SA will win easily I reckon. But the Italians will show spirit. They've been great recently despite what the paper records say. They've improved out of sight. Problem is, so has everyone else.

I missed the headbutt.

How egregious was it on a scale of 1-10?

Quick lineout went forward a mile.

Is it just me or the crowd are really pumping Mate, the entire nation is pumping. And has been for years. Whatever SA rugby did in the past couple of decades, the ARU should copy it to a tee. Bok rugby is where it is. Also great to see a strong Italian team also going from strength to strength. The...

Man if you're not envious of where Springbok rugby is right now. It feels like they're doing everything right and the entire nation is 100% invested.
