Does this sentence (from today's Yahoo News) make sense to anyone?

'Protesters have defied warnings from authorities and flooded city streets across the country in a show of support to the Aboriginal community following the death of George Floyd in the United States.'

Getting back to the topic, PR have said it all on the horrendous foolishness of the Castle assassination - there's really no more to be said: 'Australian rugby is better off because of Raelene Castle, not without her. She inherited a mess. She inherited an organization which would have sold out its ...

This is f**king disastrous for rugby in Australia. I have read through the comments on here and this is the first one that sums up where we are now. So typical of how dysfunctional/self destructive the game has become here that the usual bunch of f***nuts who try to sabotage every successive Wallab...

I feel for Castle because I genuinely believe she's been doing a good job... Unfortunately the usual band of saboteurs... Alan Jones, Papworth, NewsCorp media etc. are going to be piling it on now. Great God, Slim, this is the first time we've ever been in agreement! This is someone we need to stic...

No DPA, no JP Smith, no Rodda, no Paisami, no Petaia, McDermott coming off the bench, and the Reds win by a record margin after being down 3 tries - Zip. That's outstanding . After conceding that early margin they were able to adjust their defence to shut the Bulls out for the rest of the game - tha...

I've been wondering how Greta and other 'global warming' alarmists would explain the last couple of months of unseasonally cold weather with continuous rain (in Australia, anyhow). I've noticed her bunch tend to totally disappear during such times, only to leap back into rabid indignation at the nex...

Wait for New Zealand to claim the cure as their own, like hey did with Pavlova and Russel Crowe. And f-cking meat pies too. :x Unbelievable.

We'll see. The young bloke coming in for JP has been very impressive in his limited appearances, and Blyth and Hockings have been around awhile now and are steadily coming on.

Go the Mighty Reds!

His ability to just appear where he is needed is something I love seeing. It's a very AB trait in a winger and I liked to him to a NMS back before he was crocked. I have no idea what he's like in defence but I don't want a winger who smashes plum. I want a winger who scores tries. Yes, definitely A...

Campbell? Nawaqnaitawase? KB on the weekend... Form? :lol: Campbell's form has been impeccable since he started in SR 2019, as has unspellables in every appearance. As for Beale, one weekend isn't 'form', which is an average over the whole competition (6 weeks to date). KB hasn't been as consistent...

Banks hasn't even been given a proper crack of the whip IMO. Too early to judge. He's class. He's looked class until he's pulled on a Wallabies jumper, when every in involvement he had has seemed to be some kind of stuff-up, which is why I have compared to him to the early Chris Latham (a bit unfai...

Marler's act was a very gay one so I expect him to get the full support of World Rugby. AWJ should stop frigging around with them and lay criminal charges through the police, as it's a very public act of sexual assault.

Maybe a closer look at that game’s stats will hold the answers.

Usually when someone covers a great song, especially these days, I think, 'Why did they bother?', but this one got me (though it must be 20 years old now) - they bring something of their own to it, and with good results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvtJPs8IDgU and in case you haven't heard the o...

Good to see Daugunu back, though I am still sad at Petaia's absence for yet another season. Still, the Reds have had a series of years where their chances were disrupted, and their focus is now to develop a winning way regardless of any circumstances, so it is a good challenge for them, and the emer...

BTW I regard McDermott as much a foregone conclusion at 9 as Koroibete is at 11. And the reason I don't mention Banks is that all his Australian appearances have indicated he is what Chris Latham was for the first 6 years of his career - brilliant at SR level but unable to transition to internationa...

Can't disagree. All incumbents that have remained are: 1. Sio. Slipper has unseated him this weel, but will undoubtedly feature in either 1 or 17. 2. FF. Probably still the front runner.

After the Brumbies capitulation at home against an average Highlanders side last week, I had been meaning to post that, following on from their 2019 semi-final implosion, this is clearly an 'often-impressive-but-inevitably-brittle' Brumbies unit, but I may have to eat them words if they continue on ...

Great team effort by the Reds, but the brilliance of Campbell! - this is the guy the Australian selectors thought was not good enough for the World Cup, preferring a makeshift winger to him.

Weirdly, I'm going to my first Super Rugby match in two years tomorrow night because I really like this young QLD team and how they play the game. Good on you, Thomas, that's the spirit.

Nothing to do with anything else that's been said on here, but it happened in England and confirms my fears that Political Correctness has gone as crazy over there as it has in Australia: who except a chronic nit-picker could find anything wrong with this remark?

Surprised Lucas was dropped. Thorn needs to stick with a 10 instead of chopping and changing all the time. Bench is very weak. #ThornOut Dropping not swapping makes me wonder if Jebusbrad was also headscratching over who should be 12. Mungo you were more impressive when you presented yourself under...

'The fans/media unleash in the wake of an unsuccessful campaign/coach' The 3rd issue on which the fans/media unleash in a feeding frenzy, I am in agreement with.
