Re: Finau tackle on Edmed.

Ummm...Meads ended Ken Catchpoles' career......those black tinted glasses..... I was at that game. If a player did anything like that today, he would be banned for life.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

I don't believe any of the weight/height stats bandied around. OK, but if they are exaggerated, surely on average they are exaggerated evenly? Therefore it's fine to compare and contrast the different figures? No, I don't think they are. They seem to be figures that are written down once and then n...

Re: League players are no good in Union

Just because it's Intense doesn't make it a great game enjoyable to everyone. Those who are used to seeing the variety of play and competition for the ball in rugby, would probably find the short pass, tackle x 5 and a kick routine boring and dumb. The shoulder charges and thugby acts in League don...

Re: Finau tackle on Edmed.

Perfectly legal tackle and Edmed got the fudge up and played the rest of the game. His hit on Lynagh was a dog act though but was just a penalty in the game. For some reason (Kiwi ref). https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/1baf3n2/late_shot_on_lynagh/ I was okay with that decision as well. :x
