Gotta love the usual-suspects lining up to flaunt their PC-credentials. :lol: Masterji - I don't really give a shit if you fast or not to be honest. But I will say that I have heard that it's very healthy for you. I saw a BBC documentary, "East, Fast and Live Longer" by Michael Mosley. It's very in...

To be fair I'd go after them too for that Medicare bullshit. He's consistently denied it and Labor went to town on it. The Liberals have been after them all week. Julie Bishop was doing it tonight when they interviewed her to congratulate her on her win. The Liberals set the stage for this with the...

Alan Jones on Turnbull's speech - the content and the tone of that speech was quite unfortunate. He should be the Prime Minister for all of Australia.

Jacqui Lambie - he needs to grow a backbone and stop blaming everyone for his poor performance.

What an ungracious prick Turncoat is.

He will most likely form Government but resorts to attacking and blaming Labor for his and the Liberal's poor showing this election.

I hope he gets a hostile senate.

Kudos to the teams for taking this game to Fiji.

Go the Chiefs!

4) a maul

"Resets" things so the ball can be kicked out on the full.

Thanks.

After the second Test, I mentioned the woeful kicking by Australia. From the 22, Why are they coached to kick the ball straight back to the opposition instead of kicking the ball out so that the defence can reset? One of the English tries came from a terrible kick by Foley. Can someone also confirm...

Frisbee needed a go. But we didnt play badly today. England were good. Like a broken record, I will say it again. Our out of hand kicking, both tactically and for position, is absolutely dreadful. Bernard Phoney must be taken out of the Waratahs, and given a highly intensive practical course in the...

f**k magic. Which is also what 99.9% of the Aussies have been like for the duration of this series :thumbup: Don't let the trolls spoil it - it's been a great series and Aus are no way a 0-3 team, you just got out-tactic'd. A few bounces of the ball going another way and kicking some missed kicks a...

I just also want to say that Kepu looked seriously unfit these last two games. Carrying a belly, he was.

Aus gone backwards since the WC or has England improved that much which contributes more? Both. Australia were very poor the first two Tests, but good tonight and we still lost. Thought McMahon was Australia's best tonight. Discipline and kicking our two biggest problems. McMahon played much better...

I've never understood why we don't just close these camps and strong arm Samoa or Fiji into taking the refugee's. Then provide X dollars of AID per refuge to cover integration costs. I get the argument that Australia has the means and should take these people in, but it sets a poor migration preced...

So the arrival method is the issue, working in the assumption that they sail past many other "safe havens" before arrival in Australia ? That would make sense. Not quite.. the rationale offered is that allowing boat people onto mainland Australia will encourage more to try. The moral stance is base...

Vuaka

Some good points raised...

We need someone with a bigger boot to get us playing in opposition territory. Foley just isn't that person.

All of his clearing kicks went up to half way gifting England great territory.

We also cannot kick penalties unless we are within 40 metres from the posts.

Vuaka

Sublime showing by the All Blacks. Although it was close at first, it seemed like they were toying with Wales.

Great win and based on the performances of AU and NZ tonight, I don't think the Bled is coming back this year.

Vuaka

Well done England. Good defence and played smart in slowing down the rucks. Better strategy all round.

Australia gave away penalties last week and gave away dropped balls tonight.

Melbourne should be ashamed of that pitch.

Vuaka

Good team and looks like a good mix of old heads and new kids to rebuild for 2019. I hope that Tamanivalu makes the final cut. Ex-Lelean boy, played both rugby and league and was on a school scholarship in NZ. I am curious about when the NZ scholarship was offered because he played league for Fiji S...

That was a brilliant game to watch as a Tahs supporter. TBF, most of the Tahs supporters at the ground were too busy abusing the linesman and ref and trying to out bogan the league bogans (which they did successfully) ... at least where I was sitting. I thought you Oz rugger types were supposed to ...

Feeney is doing his best to lose the election for Labor. Shorten should have punted him last week. What the f**k is this plum doing on the front bench?

So I just did a search for the league forum that Thomas mentioned in an earlier post.

Some of those posters are seriously delusional.

There is even one guy there saying he would not support Australia winning an Olympic medal because it was rugby that is being played.

Australia were unlucky to get the yellow card there.

Someone more cynical might suggest that it was to enable the home team to make the quarters.

Unlike that other big rugby tournament last year.

What's the chances of Fiji missing the quarters and surrendering the 7 series title to South Africa? Low Australia are fielding a 'B' team ... and have already beaten Wales. Really?

At least Gorumaru tries to "tackle", even if it is an illegal shoulder charge.

England played well there. Dan Norton has some wheels.

Fiji played without chemistry. Like they had met for the first time in the sheds.

I think he will play in London. Fiji need to qualify for the Cup and they win it. So they probably let Hayne in he plays one pool play match the easy one then he gets the playoffs once the new title is all wrapped up. He is not on the prelims team but he should be added to the list. Australia, Engl...
