US needs to because they have slashed investment in renewables overnight because....its woke. Yeah its always safe for those advocating it but here time and cost would prevent it being viable as an energy source with current technology. The US also has the most sophisticated nuclear ecosystem in th...

Some more puzzling picks from Schmidt for Ireland, does the experimentation end with us winning the 2027 WC? Maybe hes that smart.

grievous

First game was a cracker, Belgium lucky to not cave after the red.
Samoa made it easy and the wc entry for Namibia is finally over.
Samoa should win against Belgium comfortably next Tuesday and qualify.

No one has a bad thing to say about Schmidt in general as a person and they respect his methods and detail as a coach. Neither D'Arcy nor I said anything about not liking or wanting him gone . But he is very detailed focused and the point was on a subconscious level. Think studying for a test that ...

Cant agree on Frost, I think hes been one of the best just not lately. Interesting to get some inside knowledge from both Nick Stiles and Slipper on Stan and they were asked about Schmidts' game plan. His plan is to work down in narrow channels then explode wide, they did this well against SA but ev...

grievous

It's not about coasting but Schmidt is all about small margins in a game that's already about small margins. Lose focus for whatever reason (mental exhaustion ended up being the problem with Ireland) and that quickly becomes a problem. Darcy asking that question also today: https://archive.ph/D8DVJ...

There's always a Lame Duck problem when players know a coach is leaving and there's no material objective (compared to Lions tour or RWC). But not a WC ranking? Rubbish Yes, in comparison to a chance to live in history it is not much of a rallying factor. Do you think anyone remembers the legends w...

Belgium look sharp. Namibia can match with any team sizewise but the lack of games they get shows, WR need to get better competitions running in Africa, Namibia seem to get nothing out of bordering SA. Samoa not going to the World Cup would pivot the the national take up to league, Id hate to see th...

Here we are again.. Schmidt says fans should keep faith....is he some sort of fvckwit? Im tired of his game plan and the ongoing trial of players that quite frankly isn't working. Italy were not great but they could defend and attack and were less dumb than the dumbest side running around in modern ...

Not getting up early for this after last week, Im back to just not trusting them again.
Should win but who bloody knows.

grievous

Seems to be different opinion about rankings for seedings now and not as critical but Im not so sure, point is they need a good finish for the year and prove they can win so Italy is a must win, Ireland could/should be a win if the last Lions game is taken into account and France will probably be to...

The US is getting back into nuclear. $80 billion in new projects. Then again they need to. But between them and India’s Thorium designs there will be safe proven designs to work with at need.

Need to be careful what you wish for . Will Pauline Hanson be the new Reform of Australia? Certainly the Right media are giving her more support than ever. Maybe Advance Australia will form a political party.
Anyway will Sussan see out the year?

Still, the only time I gambled on the Melbourne Cup I won 20¢ so I'm all for it.

It's a real pox on this country but it grows ever stronger not weaker. Governments at all levels back it to the hilt.

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish… Harry Potter had a decent game but the rest was crap. Our worst performance for a while. Edmed is not test standard. We were static across the park in attack and clueless defensively. It’s going to be up to Kiss to reshape us for the RWC. Schmitty has one foot out the doo...

Where do you think the poms will win? Maybe the mcg if it’s slow and low?

Well we can put Sydney as rained out, thats a given.
POMS could win any test if we have a top order batting collapse.

Think we can start asking about getting a return on Suuaalli. Aerial jumps with one arm with absolutely nob chance of the pill sticking needs to be uncoached.
