Probably are. Or also tribes up in the highlands in PNG. The amazing thing is how quickly people got to Australia which is well before when they got to Europe and potentially before east Asia. They got out of Africa then just hopped along the coast down into Australia. What gets me is why didn't an...

Got to fund those tax cuts for billionaires somehow. Those eprivate jets and multiple holiday homes aren't going to pay for themselves. I think there has to be a tipping point. When you have a bunch of billionaire sociopaths who just want hoard money and watch the world burn, eventually something h...

One of my favourite places in Australia is the Bunya Mountains. A few years ago I got talking to an elder up there and learnt a shitload about what the mountain actually means for his people. I was absolutely engaged with this bloke and his stories. It made me love the place even more knowing how s...

Im going to a sensible point that sensible stephen made, which is he needs to sit through a quality moment in every meeting.

I think the reality is that the vast majority of people who don't like it just find it boring and a bit of an eye-roll in the "more woke shit" sense, but aren't really racists and are just a bit too tone-deaf and selfish to realize that they should be able to sit for 3 minutes just as a nice thing ...

The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. I love a good welcome to country though, especially when done by an elder who can tell a story.

Gee, that is shit luck. Recover soon.

Just getting over a virus and I don't think sitting at the footy in 50kmh winds and 8 degrees will help.

Sorry to hear that, Thomas.

It's not a sell out then?

Doesn't look like it. Will be probably high 40K crowd, I think.

Do u live in coinzland? Indeed, heading along to this one (managed to pick up some last-minute third-tier tickets for $40 over the weekend) - thought the ticket prices were a bit outrageous at first but $40 is a no-brainer for an one in 12 years event. You have inspired me, planning to buy 2 of the...

Feels like we’ll pretty definitely see the Test XV in the AUNZ game the week before the first test, but yeah hard to get a read til then perhaps. I think seeing Itoje and the likely test 8/9/10 threw me a bit though into thinking this is closer to the Test team than it perhaps is. I think we'll see...

I work about 1.4kms from the stadium and there's a bunch of Lions fans staying in the building next door giving of huge divorced dad energy.

Currently 11 degrees (feels like 6) in Brisbane today. Going to be a belter of a winter's day. Bit windy though.

I'm not going to get too worked up about anyone's guess but I will say I'd bet good money on that not being the backrow (assuming everyone fit). Outside the backrow, it's a very possible side. I don't think Daly will be the FB but I get why he's gone for him. In Eddie Jones’ article in PR today he ...

That is one hell of a strong team! - at first I thought it was full strength. Congratulations to Jock on the captaincy to crown an outstanding season. (I think) George Blake and Louis Werchon are receiving their first caps: come on down, boys! Great to see Isaac Henry getting a run after a lot of t...

No Pollock? Is he scared of the Reds? What a scaredy cat.

Meow.

Yeah, if you land in remote Northern Australia and somehow make it to civilization, you can stay

Hansen tries hard, but was the 4th best winger on the pitch. He struggled to lock down a super rugby contract in his early 20s, and would struggle now.n He was largely invisible. Pollock looked good. I can now understand why plenty of people hate him. I'm going the other way. I thought his only ass...

Robertson, Swain, Pietsch enhanced their reputations there. Still think Swain should be the starting lock. Swain is having a good year. Very happy for the bloke He must of just done the basics well, lineouts and scrum were strong but I didnt see him otherwise in the loose. We need a ball carrying s...

Positive comments from Andy for the Hansen fan club The play of the day - I mean there were some fantastic tries, weren't there? - but the play of the day if you want to look what a Lion should do for his teammates was when Mack Hansen went up and down the field, end-to-end, never gave up, and foug...

Lovely.

I though yanks loved the First Amendment of the Constitution.

In the lead-up to the last Lions tour on Australian shores, Cvntron united for the first time. Things were said that, though accurate, would no longer be acceptable in the modern 'me too' world of 2025. Most keen-eyed observers have directly linked this event to the subsequent decline in Welsh and ...

That were diabolical.

I can't spake.

Don't come the raw prawn, Towny, Joe Schmidt said 5 players from the Wallabies Squad had already been named to stay with the Western Force - that means they were already there and could obviously keep training with their teammates. Why be cagey about naming them? The Lions already know who they are...

I know a few guys. Who are we taking out?
Is anyone as wit kant as ROG? Russell is a good candidate.
Surely their clappy wit kant of a captain?

That's an idea but he's not someone who will win you a game. Plus, I like the idea of someone maiming a Scot.

We have 4 test locks - might as well use them in the absence of quality backrowers. Fair enough, just checked the squad and Vest appears to be the only other option. Can't find any update on Liam Wright, it would be great to have him coming off the bench. Would seem an ideal time to select some jac...

24 years ago this week Duncan McRae got 9 or 10 Aussie punches in against the smallest man on the oppositions team, when he was pinned on the ground and unable to defend himself. Unfortunately Farrell hasn’t selected Marcus Smith for this match so you’ll have to go for the next most annoying weakli...

No wonder they were flogged.
The west is a graveyard for professional rugby players. A place where you go to watch your career die.
I'm not sure that's the case; especially as the Force have 9 players in the Wobs' squad, which is more than the Tahs or Reds.

You can shut the fuck up.

The victory over the Lions by the wonderful Puma B team convinced me of 2 things: 1 That Joe Schmidt has little to worry about with the Lions attack: we would smoke them everywhere from 15 right through to the loose forwards. :lol: FFS this is a side that hasn't played together before and they all ...
