I thought harry potter was english? presumably hes improved as he never looked an international when he played for tigers. Born in England, moved to Straya as a kid, got a gig at the Tigers when he was maybe 22 after being with the Melbourne Rebels. English, moved to Australia as a teen. Came home....

Well as long as you said Smif and joined the rest of the English speaking world in forgetting how to aspirate a ‘th’.

Anyway, I reckon the Lions will have the better tight five and better halves combo, whereas the good guys will have it at the back row, the centres and back three.

So its anyones game. Lions slight favourites.

So only logical to say, Wallabys by 10!

This. Maybe VDF takes young Pollocks spot bc first test. I've only seen a little bit of Pollock and what I've seen scares me. I liken him to Ardie Savea, a genuinely threatening player. Pollock has been bloody good. Im surprised he isnt getting a run if that telegraph team is right. Plus that bit w...

Not to sound too negative, but that team will get flogged.

Jorgo and Potter are first choice wings you think?

Thats a fair bit of pace, but would we want to see say Daugunu at 11 for a bit of size?

Lynaugh starting is a big call too. I wouldnt be surprised to see Donno there, but I dont think we will win if that happens.

Yesterday was great day until the game started. Brilliant crowd of whom many will not watch anther game of rugby live. Im annoyed it was a one sided fizzed. Never hold these invitation games again. The prospect of an undefeated tour is not far fetched, do the Lions want to tour again here? Id invit...

Pollock MoM for me.
The AUNZ team never really gelled. Every time they looked dangerous there was something screwed up, mostly because they looked like a scratch side.
Lions can’t take too much from that and neither can the Wallaby’s.

Just popped in to my local Uncle Dan's to buy some drinks for drinking this afternoon and evening (going to fire up the fire pit and so forth before the game) and decided to wear my brand new Wallaby supporter jersey ($45 Best and Less version). As I walked down an aisle, some bloke yelled out "Les...

Adding kiwi fruit to pavlova, while not top tier pavlova, is not a bad addition.

Let's be honest. Lolesio is shite anyway. Time for Lynagh to step up. But Lolesio was still a major step up from Donaldson and Lynagh. Lynagh is probably the future, but he's quite inexperienced and yet to really shine at Soup level. That's the big question, whether Lynagh can perform in tests. He'...

Feeling very conflicted about cheering for Frizell. This looks like a team designed to belt the snot out of another one.

Savour it Clogs. I remember those halcyon days of around 2000 when we were good at rugby, dominant at cricket, shit at soccer but noone cared about it, probably won something in netball, etc.

It doesnt last and soon you are struggling to beat Japan in the world cup.

This thread definitively ages the board!

I think its inevitable people have a certain nostalgia for the music they grew up with. T...

Thats really interesting! I had understood that FCAS was the driver in the BESS market. Interesting that you say arbitrage is the main driver. And yes a 2 hr BESS doesnt help there.

I personally don't want NZ to ever use the parent rule, the likes Lomax etc who were born in Aus were still eligible because they resided in NZ, even if they were born overseas. Merthens was same, as I said I prefer only where you born or reside, but others have different ideas, so I live with it. ...

Sorry, wanted to be a little more specific - do we know what happens to retail prices with the introduction of long duration storage? We could then really assess what the benefit of LDS is to the market, and if there is a value beyond just arbitrage. Reason I ask is that the BESS market was really c...

They’ve got a huge mandate from the public. And you wouldn’t take it as a single GST change.

British And Irish Lions At Risk Of Being Swept 3-0 After Wallabies Clinically Demolish Fiji A touring party of Poms, Scots, Irish (and a Welshman*, maybe?) are today trying to wrap their head around what lies in store for them over the next couple of weeks.

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.

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 ...

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.
