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. What was bought in a few years ago, with a genuine level of success, was safety moments or whatever the organisation calls it. Every meeting I am at starts with a discussion o...

You don't live in Australia. When did you last hear an acknowledgement of country? Because I heard 4 today alone (all teams meetings). What? lol. That sounds a little much. You're doing it in the workplace before team meetings? wtf. Who is doing it? It's common place. Happened twice in one huddle, ...

Im lost Towny, where are you going with this? My company outsources work to our Philippines office from Australia, Europe and NA due to the reduced labour rates. I am also based there delivery projects locally and we need to be really clever with expats and only use when the skillset doesnt exist lo...

Also allowing the lions to all sit about a metre in front of their defensive rucks.
He's pinged the Lions 3 times for offside.

And Lions are still doing it at every ruck.

Farva

Dare say the gaping the lions defence won’t be there is a couple of weeks when they have had a few weeks together.

:lol: Yeah I was being a bit cheeky. Quite a few of those Force players were gash though... The Rebels were shit. Worse thing to happen to Oz rugby. They weren't any worse than Force. They produced far more local talent than Force. At the time of the Force being cut a third of the squad were from W...

There are some great players that came through the Vic system, but they seemed to do so despite Rugby Vic rather than because of it. Guys like Rob Valetini got there despite the Rebels system and stayed outside of it. I’d love the Rebels to still be there and I know how much it hurts to lose your te...

Farva

Brandon Paenga-Amosa also came from Rebels (yeah I know he was originally from Reds). OK so I got that 'half' wrong. I thought they had more former Rebels for some reason. How come Force can't develop more local talent? Rebels even though were a basket case, had far more local players. They are? Ho...

Bloody hell, half the Force team is made up of former Rebels players :o Wish the Rebels were still there.

If by half you mean 2 ex Rebels, then you are absolutely right! 1 Tom Robertson, - Tahs then Force 2 Brandon Paenga-Amosa, - Reds then Force 3 Ollie Hoskins, - Force 4 Sam Carter, - Brum...

If the Lions dont win this by a big score, playing the weakest of the Australian super rugby sides, minus their three best players, then they should pack up and head home now.

Lions by 20.

Farva

Anyway, is it not the height of arrogance to say that the Force did not pick their top side? I understand that Potter, Tizzano and Williams are not playing. Perhaps they are not in the best 23? Did Farrell ever think about that? I am concerned that the Lions seem to want to dictate to the Australian...

My mother for example was born in Southampton and came over in the 50s with her family at age 10. Thats a story most of us will have. There will be bugger all that can trace themselves back to convict days, or even the days when we slaughtered the indigenous. And those that do are quite happy to rec...

The way that the NH lists the team is unnatural.
It makes me think of septics and how they write dates.
Are you people incapable of counting in a linear fashion?

Do you ever crosscheck anything? https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3315271/pakistan-gets-caught-iran-israel-disinformation-crossfire I'm starting to believe that the majority of the things you say are based on mis-information.

I think the hate for Edmed, and might I add is very justified, is because he is ginger and therefore doesn't have a soul.

Chat GPT or NZ Gort, who do we believe? :lol: Whatever happened to Gort? For the first 10 or so years I was posting he was just some random Rugby League loving posters.

As a side note is Bruce Stadium not the most Australian name ever?

We don’t get many Bruce’s these days though.

Why not take the 3 then?

That was a bloody good line run then by that Cane.

They don't fill the stadium because Bruce is where The CSIRO is researching what life is like at 0 degrees Kelvin.

And the CSIRO are scared of any form of public transport to the city as well.

This is for elite athletes. For tennis they don’t tend to live in those countries after, or if they do are wealthier. Rugby is primarily played at an elite level in developed western countries.

Is it a battle between 2 evils ? Definitely not, you can't invade another country and claim to be the better side. But the hope that the war will accelerate the cleansing of corruption in Ukraine proved to be futile and on the contrary opened new opportunities around weapons, mobilization, border c...

Well thank you for providing some actual evidence, even though it doesn't appear to be for the game with a missed forward pass that you were referring to. I hope law enforcement were able to track down the 21 social media accounts to take appropriate action. Now feel free to provide evidence that N...

Feel free to provide evidence of those death threats or anyone saying death threats are appropriate.
