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. Country people were blundstones. RMs are poorly suited to the corporate world. There is no grip so if the sidewalk is...

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...

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 ...

He's pinged the Lions 3 times for offside.

And Lions are still doing it at every ruck.

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

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...

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.

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.

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...
