Don’t worry, Aussies, according an Australian journalist in the Guardian “the Wallabies have got their 2025 season off to a victorious start and struck a crucial blow in the quest to win the 2027 World Cup at home with a tense 21-18 triumph over Fiji in Newcastle.

Lolesio cleared of any significant injury and back at the hotel. Good luck to him and his recovery.

Wallabies played dumb in parts but dominated the first half. If Lolesio hadn't had a brain fart, it would have been 14-0 at half time. I just hate how teams try and place loose against Fiji. They love that shit. Revel in it. Tighten it up, play for set piece dominance and the holes will open. Then ...

Can I add that Tbilisi is one of my favourite cities and a tour there would be an amazing experience.

For that reason alone Georgia should be let in the 6N

That reminds me, I need to polish my RMs…

Wales missing lions? So wales were missing one player right?

Will take the win but Fiji pretty much lost that through a few droppsies in attack. Dont know what the answer is no Wallaby had a good game, Lions will roll us 3-0 based on that performance. Vs the dross they rolled out against the tags. The Fijians were good because they are huge players that run ...

Fiji on the run are a good team, and they have been playing together for a while super rugby season.

Cracking game there with the Fijians playing some amazing rugby

Fiji are dumping a heap of pressure on us. That is forcing the dumb plays.

Toro wrote: ↑Sun Jul 06, 2025 6:02 am Gee that’s a shame, such a great try. I really wonder sometimes if that had stayed ‘missed’ would anyone have thought to go back and look at it? WR obsessed with cancelling tries. Might as well bring back the captain’s challenge.

Three tries overturned in the game so far.

Fiji are a passion team. They are running high now. Need to slow things down and take that away from them.

That was fine every day of the week and twice on Sunday, momentum pushed the ball forward. TMO saw it forward because they slowed everything down to look at it.

Sensible Stephen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 06, 2025 5:19 am That was a moronic chip to be fair.

And was that Lolesio who came charging out of the line for an intercept that wasn’t there allowing the gap for the try?

So the type of boots one wears puts them down as some rugby wannabe? What uniform is permissible? RMs are for north sure liberal voters whole like to pretend they're country people.

There was nothing wrong with the referee. Quit yar whining. He was shit, but shit to both teams. That's rugby. Happens. I'm implying no bias, but the big decisions all went the Tahs' way today. The two biggest were. 1. Allowing the Tahs' wing to crawl to the tryline after he'd been tackled. 2. Allo...

People remember him with rose tinted glasses. Regardless of your politics, he (as well as Keating and Hawke) before him were acres better as leaders than anyone since. I’m going the other way. Howard oversaw one of the biggest booms in Australian resources and didn’t have anything to show for it at...

I remember Howard used to wear Wallaby jumpers/jackets on his early morning walks. This was in the early 2000s. Good rugby man. I'd imagine most of the PMs we've had since then had no interest in rugby or Leaguies, apart from Abbott. John Howard is a tool. The Waratahs crowd cheering him speaks vol...

Tap tackles don’t exist.
Not if there isn’t a player in contact with the tackled player when their knee hits the ground it doesn’t.
Dear god. You’re spectacularly wrong.

As Rog said, it's not your opinion that matters it actually what happened, Ref is very sympathetic to the Warraths. Really? The scrum is being reffed entirely towards the lions. They have the stronger scrum but the ref is essentially guessing with his calls there. And then there was the disallowed ...

His logic is flawed though because if he is trying to”get up” then he has to release the ball first. That’s not the law. There was no tackle made as there wasnt a lions player in contact with him when he had a knee on the ground. No tackle so it’s fine. Tap tackles don’t exist. Not if there isn’t a...

Farva

The game is played by players on their feet. He wasn't held in the tackle though and I think it would have been harsh to chalk it off for that. Definitely should have been chalked off for clearing out Hansen in at the side though! Can't believe they didn't even consider that when looking at the fou...

Is there a law against crawling? I mean I know if you're tackled you must release the ball. But if you're not tackled, and are just knocked over, are you allowed to crawl if you want to? You're not allowed play the ball when you're off your feet. The only time you're allowed is with momentum. Ref a...

It was a pretty weak Reds team though. I’d have expected that Reds team to get rolled by a similar score by the Crusaders or similar too. What is good to see is both the Reds and the Force games were close at half time before the Lions ran away with it. The Wobs won’t fall off the cliff depth wise ...

The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. 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 ...

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