Re: GAME OF THE WEEK: Australia vs Fiji
In other words: "Aussie teams look a bit shit when they don't have referees allowing them to get away with murder at ruck time". The second time this weekend an Aussie side has needed the referee to save them from embarrassment. Must be a bit of a worry with the Lions tests around the corner. Out o...

Re: Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?
What should be the laws then? I think, "a player can only represent that nation in which they spent the most years living by the time they turn 18". After your 18th birthday, it's set in stone. I really like the guy, and I like Scottish rugby, but the captain of the Scottish side speaking with a thi...

Don’t worry, Aussies, according an Australian journalist in the Guardian “the Wallabies have got their 2025 season off to a victorious start and struck a crucial blow in the quest to win the 2027 World Cup at home with a tense 21-18 triumph over Fiji in Newcastle. The 79th minute shading of their f...

Gritty game from both sides. On one hand, I can take positives out of that. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine The Wallabies can win a single game against the Lions if they can't put Fiji to the sword on home soil. Fiji are a good side though. By all rights they should be part of the Rugby Cham...

Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?
2 Aussies, 2 Saffers and only 1 Kiwi? Is that all?
Even if I haven't missed anyone, still pretty strange that the British and Irish Lions could field a team that is 1/3rd antipodean.

Re: Match 4: NSW Waratahs v B&I Lions
What happened there? Why wasn't kick allowed? It was the right call. Bowen took half a step to kick, Lions player charged forward. Bowen complained and then once he realised it was live he passed. So essentially he didn't kick the free kick. Correct but very technical. Most refs would just reset. I...
