Ain't nobody beats Wales 19 times in a row.

AUNZ playing pretty well. Is that sarcasm or are you watching something else? They're not short on effort from individuals. But as a team they're playing like a 4th grade club side that was thrown together the morning of the match and don't even know each others names. That's not surprising as it's...

He doesn’t count imo.

Can’t do much when the Lions take most of the first XV. Playing in these places and against this kind of opposition is good development for the second stringers. Which actual Scots are in the Lions? Russell and Jones? Am I missing anyone? Obviously they are also missing the saffas and aussies they ...

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...

Scotland without their mercs.
And a scoreline not reflective of the dominance the Fijians have displayed.

I thought it was no mercs, but there were a few kiwis. Crusaders legend fergus Burke was the 10.

Looking at the squad, I think Swain is unlucky, would have prefered him to Canham who is a reject shop Nick frost. I would have swapped White for Longeran too. No clue what swain has done to be dropped; and what Canham has done to be selected. It cannot be super rugby form where Canham was a joke. ...

Stephen has yellow fever.

He's a closet Wallabies fan.

Missed the mark on this one.

Just caught up with a mate of mine from Tamworth. Hard-core doggies fan. Played league growing up. Never played and very rarely watched union. He and 17 mates went down to Newcastle for the game.

Well there's more Irish than English and Welsh put together at this point. But that just reflects the success levels of the international sides in recent years. Even if you're wanting to dig into nation of origin etc you'd have to take account of Marcus Smith growing up in east Asia and so on so th...

I hope this is lulling the lions into a false sense of security - most of the front five yesterday were our 3rd and 4th options (or a new hire from the MLR in the case of Orr).

Schmidt would have noted Toole handled Lowe pretty well last night. I would've picked Toole and Pietsch as wingers from the start. Im pretty comfortable with Jorgo in the same spot Toole is gunning for. Toole is faster. But Jorgo is rapid too, has a few more strings to his game. In many respects, t...

Too risky to have both Lynagh and Lonergan. They're too inexperienced, they won't have time to adjust, all new players need time. But Lonergan needs to be blooded this year. White is only a stop gap, maybe just this year. It’s this type of comment which sees the wallabies go far too long with medio...

I don't know how you could watch that game by Ryan Longeran and think Nic White is a better option at 9. I love Whitey, but Longeran had surpassed him.

Well done Lions. Good game. Happy with how our boys played, a lot of second and third (and 4th technically) stringers our there and kept it relatively close. I kind of wish we had the full compliment now. Would have pushed them pretty bloody close. Lions had 3 tries held up. Without that would have...
