Re: Innocents be damned - Just some rugby chat for rugby blokes, nothing to see here....honest.

Of course it is. Criticising one side only is the same as taking sides. This whole thread is you guys picking at a scab. I find it quite bizarre. This has been said a number of times, but worth repeating. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Anyone associating with them is breaking laws, in the count...

Re: Charlie Kirk Assassinated

To be fair freedom of speech doesn’t mean you are free of repercussions or consequences of that speech and I think that is really important. North Korea has freedom of speech then!

Re: TRC 2025 - Pumas tour of Australia

And for some reason we pumped the kicks to Tooles wing who I don’t think managed to compete for one. Fine to try it but we didn’t change when it wasn’t working. Equally the tackling was dire. And a few dumb mistakes. After Valetinis held up no try, we saw the White / Edmed balls up that should never...

The fudge is going on, first Edmed with that charge down, then Edmed and White not communicating, then Williams being a mile offside, he didn’t need to touch that, then Jorgo with a dumb knock down.
