Re: South Africa overflow of rugby players
the non-URC teams can join Super Rugby. Sam Warburton was saying on the 6N highlights show that the New Zealand players felt that they were missing the physicality of the South Africans That’s why they are bringing back tours and more engagement with SA teams and not just the boks. I can’t see how ...

Re: Brisbane 2032 Olympics
It's only for the athletics with temporary stands. Will be 14000 seats in the end. Suncorp will be the main one now. Total cost is about half of the new Vic park stadium plan. Fair. Long term the Gabba is gone after 2030, so in terms of creating a legacy asset it’s still a fail. Don’t see why they ...

Re: LIons tickets on sale
The tickets released thus far seem to be selling well. There is a 100% chance that the games will be all sold out, right? Ergo, the price is either correct or lower than market demand. This is how much elite sporting events cost - I don’t know what the whinging is about. There is always an "elite" ...

Re: Waterboys crossing the line
Just don't allow them to 'warm up' at either end of the field, that would pretty much stop it I think. The French subs came over to congratulate while the ball was being grounded last night.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Anyway, the way Eddie had the guy play was f**ked. This positionless rugby style he was trying to implement had the players confused and headless. Although it did work in brief spells. CG would have cleaned more rucks in pool play than Sexton did in an entire RWC cycle. Last year was a write off. B...

Nope. Unlike Gordon, they’ve actually played in winning test matches against tier one nations. Foley blew the Bled at Marvel and Coopers fumble with an unmarked man blew the Dunedin game.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
This is simply lazy analysis of a player. Lolesio has been overtaken by Lynagh and is already well behind Gordon. I’ve been pretty clear on my views on CG. He had a breakout season in Super then had to play in Eddie’s Wobs. The guy can tackle, run and move the ball around Better than any other “cur...

One of those Queensland lads has started one SR game at flyhalf - neither of them are near ready to play test rugby.

Is there a chance that some of the Wallabies will be released for the Wales/QLD game?
