Rassie is probably the leading international coach atm; however the Boks had some terrible games in his first year - the ABs put 50 on them for starters - Kak story. I remember you claimed the All Blacks scrum would destroy the Boks? I don’t think I said destroy, but I didn’t believe the Boks had a...

There just is such a fine line between winning and losing - games can be decided on a bounce of the ball, yet we will often use the result to justify a narrative that Team A was superior to Team B. The 2023 RWC final is a great example - Rassie is a genius and Ian Foster is a loser because of that 1...

So in effect.. until the end of this year? As no Wallabies matches between then and end of Super Rugby? Razor has six very important games coming up. Schmidt is a no go.

Indeed, but he isn’t demanding the people stop their speech. Nah he's just trying to get companies to do the job for him, and is looking at ways to take down a magazine he doesn't like. Him and the rest of the Maga goon squad are just hypocrites. Many employment contracts have expected standards in...

For you. I enjoyed it. I think it went the Oscar for best movie too - not 100% sure.

It did. I got through it once but found it an absolute grind.

Jesus, this whole thing has been complete disaster. Looks like American rugby is not going to take off any time soon. In Martin Pengelly’s excellent book “Brotherhood: When West Point Rugby Went to War” - he quotes Mark Cuban: “The US has fantastic rugby potential - and always will” ie. It’s never ...

What might have happened in the first game if the Boks got more pay from their dominant scrum and their line out didn’t malfunction?

towny

A ball that starts on the halfway line and finishes on the same line obviously goes forward 1m, eh?

Let’s just agree that you and the AR were wrong - it was a flat pass and Australia was unlucky that it was called back.

The fat cvnt is losing touch with all reality. He's now claimed that 300m people in the US (pop. ~350m) died from drug use last year. And it won't lose him a single vote. His supporters don't care. Epstein was a problem, because it basically meant he was a pedophile rapist, but it seems he has enou...

How about when there was a high tackle right in front of the ref and he played on only for the TMO to come back at him. I honestly don't know how he missed it. I think the try was a make up call, which is shit, for the pass that he called forward from McReight...which wasn't forward. Regarding the ...

Dont get caught up in the AB hyperbole, it was still winnable at 65min, only then did NZ switch off. They could easily have won. But they looked like a Super team. They just gave up. the last 3? tries were just them waving the SA player through. It was bizarre. It was like they just thought the 10 ...

So whats the deal with Skelton? Why did he go back to France? I dont understand, cant we say sorry, hes here until October? Or is he too scared to rock the boat of his pay masters? You say rock the boat but both players have been dropped or not considered for Wallaby duties in the past so took up c...

It blows me away that we cannot find a spot in the Soup for JOC. Watching the SRAU games Max Fury was by far the best 10 on display, and he is not really even a 10. Keep him on board for the next couple of years. He looks in good nick. Meredith and HMP are nearly good 10s, but definitely not ready ...

Great match. Excellent comeback from the wobs albeit not enough this week to get over the line but what an atmosphere the Argie fans make. Far more life in them than the senior citizens who made the trip out for the Lions tour. The Pumas supporters were as mad as a box of frogs. Quite excellent. :t...

We're playing beautiful rugby. Next step is to convert that into points. We still have too many clear cut chances botched through silly errors or lack of patience. Still, this time, when we were 25-7 up and opted to go for the corner twice instead of keep on kicking penalties, I was up in arms... I...

Just caught up with the game. Not sure how the last Straya try was given Nor was anyone, really. This, from our national broadcaster: Daugunu then scored a second — despite the final pass clearly being thrown forwards by Kellaway — as time ran out. It could be very significant - it secured two bonu...

Ridiculous decision. Other than that I thought the ref had a very good game.

Pumas were just too good - the score flattered the Wallabies. They are such a good team to watch and just impossible to hate.
