Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play

It’s reputational damage for rugby. NRL must be lapping all of this up. It’s amateur hour and it gives a really bad look to other players — who’ve probably all been on their WhatsApp groups making plans. Why would horse guy care? NRL are doing fine (despite the usual weekly controversies off field....

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

Wallabies need a reliable kicker this year more than ever. 2-3 super games have been lost due to established kickers leaving 3-6+ points wide.
Crazy that still no one is standing out from any of them. It would certainly end the discussion on which fly half to pick.
