American TV peaked with Law and Order: SUV. Its all been down hill since then.

Korean TV >>> American TV.

Did I read that Petaia is off to NFL? Very disappointing. What's up with these egotistical Oz fwits who think they can just waltz into Gridiron and then waltz back into professional rugby. The IRB needs to ban these keints from coming back. Go to fkn league you disloyal pr i cks fk u ozrlia. fk u n...

Not a road. He was on a driveway and hit the garage.

Ok, obviously I was wrong, but for some reason I thought driveways counted too.

Can farmers get drunk and do laps in their paddocks?

The writing in most modern movies is just crap. They are hoping the big name super hero/character will be enough to get people in the door. Marvel, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc. All the new iterations of those franchise movies are so badly written. Extends to other movies too. They think by making ...

What a loser. Glad hes not in my team, hard to support any team with a player like this dickhead in there.

Rugby Victoria has just added an Under 85kg league. This is a good step. The men who play here are behemoths. Looking something akin to the current French national team. Other posters have got it right. 17 odd games with 2 trainings a week is a tall order for people. 10 aside with midweek fixtures ...

Along with potential international game breaker Alex Nankivell, Akira Ioane was touted by mr brownstone as someone the All Blacks would benefit on being able to call up under your naive proposal to jettison the current eligibility rules. I don't remember that discussion, but Mr B may have used thos...

It's a bit weird all right. If someone says they love Rogan I just assume they mean they like him as a person, or enjoy his show and guests. It wouldn't occur to me to think they're somehow less than others, stupid or naive and that they believe everything he says. I much agree. As I said before Ro...

And before 2020 everyone looked upon them as nutcases in normal countries.

What's a normal country? I presume you mean Asian countries aren't normal then? Because? Racism?

The question is "was Ireland's win in South-Africa the swan song of the greatest Irish team ever?". Ireland comes out of this tour with damaged credentials. Loss to New Zealand and a close call to Argentina are signs of worries. Yeah they seem a bit wobbly. For me the top teams are South Africa Fra...

It's a 4 year process. You can't do it all at once. Why can't he do it all at once like he did fir the Crusaders in 1 year after he took over from Blackadder? Are his best coaching years behind him? You already know the answer, but I can dumb it down if you really need? Here is the Crusaders squad ...

I full on can't stand him any more. He got pulled into that weirdo right wing echo chamber. Seems a totally different guy to the 2016 Rogan.

No idea why they chose to do a series on rugby, but the producer is very famous in Korea. So could help raise rugby's profile a lot.

New rugby series on Netflix coming out in December.

Featuring..... Korean rugby?...

But the problem is when the crowd all goes for dinner leaving the all Australian game half full etc. Need the crowd involved in all games.

I very much doubt it though.
Not at all, the URC have just started. Same mental state as the NH players.

I mean in the sense that they think it will be a walkover. Like Japan 2015.

I like the idea of Dunedin or even Brisbane like the old school ballymore 10s days. Wouldn’t have major rivalry games like crusaders v Auckland or Tahs v Reds though. Edit; to add you probably want an Australian team v NZ team where possible. Why? Personally I am going to be less invested in watchi...

I personally think ignoring medical science and going with bro science is the way forward.

Schmidt is a highly experienced coach and probably won’t get any better. He is an excellent coach. Razor and team are in the first test as international coaches. Individually and collectively they will learn and improve. Both sides have improved this year. The wobs have shown greater improvement, a...

The NRL have released the draw for Magic Round for 2025. I'm gutted that there is no Super Round next year. It's such a slam dunk idea that they've managed to completely bungle. Super Round could be a sellout too if: - We didn't host it in Melbourne. I get why they want to - but it's never gonna wo...

I just hope Joe signs on for another 2 years.

Surely they just roll this into the big boys U20s... right? guys?

Any talk of resting players is madness. We have to treat this like a semi final and Ireland as the final.

Shirely this puts to be the notion that the coach is not that important. If the coach is given a good run and proves to be shit, move on. Australia have a had a run of bad coaches. Rennie kept changing his team in the hunt for the perfect player in each position, and never settled on anyone. His te...

Well, I'm simply shocked by this development. :roll: What a f*cking disgrace. Open secret as the OP says. Better late than never, I guess. 83 years old. Doubt he will even see jail time. Court will probably drag out 2 or 3 years, by then he'll get some pass to go to hospice care or whatever. Disgra...

I think we brought our tight forward replacements on too late which allowed France to get back in the game but you're right we should have had more points and there was an element of choking.

You took Roigard off too early. Should have left him on for at least another 10 minutes.

So I accidentally spoiled the result for myself yesterday, so didn't bother watching the whole game - only highlights. I heard there were a couple of controversial penalties at the end - how outraged should I be? Pitchforks? Also, the decision to take 3 with only a few minutes left, down 4 - yay or...

Yeah scrum was a worry.

Hopefully Bell gets motivated for Scotland and AAA is out of the 23.

These stupid Sunday/Monday morning games. I am going to die at work today.

I'll hold judgement until I have heard Andrew Bolts take on all this thank you very much.

Theres 3 rugby articles on the main page of news.com.au. WTF is going on.

You guys are very close to being back. Remember under Foster before the sacked his coaches, you never looked like winning games against the top teams. Your attack was non existent. Now you are just making too many mistakes, but you are always in the game. You could have won today and in South Africa.

Sensible Stephen

Just finished watching this.

How is Reece gets selected i have no idea. Cost you guys a lot of points today.

I wouldn’t say it’s popular. Most Koreans I work with are aware of it (maybe), but it’s very much a niche sport. When old mate told me his son was playing when we were having beers in Seoul I was truely shocked. Probably akin to something like baseball in Australia or even less than that. Yeah that...

Zimbabwe score. They look to be a much better team to be honest.

Korea score. 20 - 15 to Zimbabwe
