If I was you, I’d just be quietly thankful that they’re discussing the tackle, and not the shameful, cowardly act that followed it. ;) All things said, I was very happy to have France rugby come here. It was a great series. Very close. We love France and French rugby. Merci. This thread is a (mostl...

I had never heard of this until I watched a Storyville special about it. It seemed like the programme really wanted to expose great scandals but couldn't (either because they couldn't find them or there were legal reasons - I don't know). There was a definite air of disapproval about the whole show...

F-ck off ya silly plum. I recently ordered six items from Amazon, two did not show up. I couldn't get hold of customer service for the life of me and instead had to click some button to signify the parcels hadn't arrive (after three+ months). I went back a week late ... no refund, nothing. Click the...

This Branson vs Bezos edge of space race thing is so stupid, considering Guy Laliberte (founder of Circe De Soleil) bought a ticket to the International f**king Space Station over a decade ago. What? Laliberte went on the records book, spent a lot of money, had some free adv on media. Branson and B...

F-ck me. Is this stupid argument still happening? Anyone with both eyes open can see that the French dude was not -- although it was close -- hit in the head and flopped to milk a penalty. Was it a risky tackle? Yeah ... MK should have been lower. But you don't get penalized for "almost' collapsing ...

Is Marika bent at the waist? Yes or no? The height difference between the men is significant. Do the maths. Have you actually read the regulations about high tackles and what constitutes a red card? He makes no attempt to lower when the frog adjusts and he's going in with shoulder. Everyone else pl...

I'm not seeing what you're seeing, dudes. That's with force straight into his neck/chin. Jerry Collins would have proud RIP He wasn't red carded for direct contact to the neck (which he didn't). The ref and TMO clearly stated he made direct contact with the head (incorrect) and that there was no di...

I thought Hooper looked world class. One aspect I have enjoyed about the series, including watching your guys, has been seeing how some of the names who have featured in 2 or 3 of the games have evolved (or in one or two cases stuttered) over the series. So up front, after Tupou of course, the like...

This thread is basically a who is who of boardies who have ever actually played rugby. This is a nothing comment. Heard every day in every locker room before and at half time of every match ever played. So acting has no place in rugby but willingly injuring opposition playing is the spirit of rugby...

Yep, it was the ref that made a meal of it. If the ref had assessed that there was nothing in it, why would he have brought the red card out? Look as much as I agree Koroibete was unlucky with the outcome because I don't think it was malicious on his part, there was a contact with the head. I don't...

Rennie is great in the press conference. He asked if Australia needs to tell their players to pretend they are injured like the French, who act like they've been shot by a sniper. He rightfully says that this kind of stuff is not in the spirit of the game and I'm sure all real rugby supporters agre...

The fact of the matter is LeJounch decided to dip at the last moment. A tackler who is going below the shoulders cannot compensate in a mili-second. Thus there are mitigating circumstances. B'OK fvcked the pooch (as kiwis are known to do). It was a shit decision. End of. LeJaunch then proceeded to ...

Great game- really enjoyed I personally think BO'K was correct- that's eaxctly the type of clash they want to eradicate. Considering maybe only 4 of those French lads are close to their real 23 or 30, they'll learn a lot from that and grow. Well done Aus- it's rare to see a Wallaby side with a set ...

"On the angles we saw initially, we thought it was shoulder contact first. They have to make their call based on images they're seeing and Ben is an excellent referee. There were a couple of situations where our guys got clocked in the head but they didn't stay down. They got up and got on with it ...

No, i'm just stating the truth. Any honest Oz fan deep down would agree with what I said. Nah You’re angry and upset. France made a great series. Could have gone either way. Rugby was the winner. Agree with this. Best team took the series too. So all is well in the rugby world. Need to review Jelon...

France is my second favourite rugby team but I really find it pathetic the French posters defending their player holding his face and flopping on the ground. It's just not rugby. It's disgraceful.

Terrible defence by the Aus halfback. Its a bit hard when you get a forearm jolt in the face - that the refs ignore. Guys, it's lucky your players are not crying babies like you lot... It was shoulder on shoulder and the French guy held his face and fell over to get the referees attention. You shou...

F-cking disgraceful. This game is ruined on horrific refereeing and poor sportsmanship from the French #8.

Absolute disgrace.

Yellow card to the French for play acting surely? This isn not f-cking football. :lol: It's shoulder into shoulder and the French guy grabs his face and falls over to try and milk a penalty.

It seems to me that Australia is taking a more relaxed approach with this winter-bump As you well know, Australia is not one jurisidiction. There are different rules in different places.

Australia now seem to be more or less giving up and adopting a similar strategy that Sweden did in the beginning. Nah, not quite yet. Not quite, sure.

Actually Ebola would have been preferable. Its quick onset and high mortality rate actually prevent it spreading.

Would a few cases slip by? Yes, probably. But it's really just not that big a deal. I think you'll find the vast majority of Australians would disagree with you Mog.

What about all the trans kids suffering as kids? Do you think being trans is just something you can ignore until you're 18? That's f**king wild!

The primary issue here is that there is a lot of nuance in the trans debate but trans activists have bulldozed through that to allow no debate. It has resulted in severe damage to many teenagers, primarily girls, but sure that's OK because it's more important to be on the right side of social media...

I'm still puzzled as to how we lost that. Seemed we had the lions share of possession, territory, opportunities, played pretty decent rugby, attacked more... and still lost.

Finding a way to win in those situations is a real mark of a good team. All kudos to France.

Just saw the South Africa "A" team.

What the fudge lads? That's just taking the piss.
