Re: ** RWC 2023 ** Winners Asterisk
It was a stunning try and mo should be gutted as he’s been robbed of a timeless highlights reel clip. There’s no bigger stage.

Re: Richie Mo’unga
Having the best person in the team for certain kicks is one of the few things foster got right. NZ needs to get over the obsession that the 10 does all kicking. Jordie clearly has the best distance and should be taking drop outs, touch finders and long range penalties.

Height makes you easier to tackle, not harder. Don’t get it mixed up with weight. JB is big but he’s not like nonu was.

Re: Fozzie execution day.

There have been matches where they have put it together but that only highlights the problems/tactical confusion the rest of the time. Robertson has a tough rebuild but he is the man for t...

In 2024 the world could have been at Mo’unga’s feet? Am I missing something? The pay will be better in Japan but su...

So that's what led to the commotion.. pretty undignified for the winners... Perhaps but Dutch players at least twice ran onto the pitch to manhandle Argentina players during the game.

Re: Women's 2021 (2022) Rugby World Cup
My red card proposal is player goes off and suffers ban after but team plays 10-20 down a player but not more (can sub on someone else). This is my attempt to stop games being a write off from a simple mistake. Puts onus on individuals not to fudge up.
Yes, it’s flawed
