Re: Jake White joins the Bulls. Why is he not more loved?
He has limitations that’s why he stacks his coaching staff with assistants. Larkham and Fisher did a lot of the technical coaching at the Brumbies.handyman wrote:This. A very good, but conservative coach. I think his style might work well at the Bulls.Cartman wrote:I just think he's a poephol

Re: Jake White joins the Bulls. Why is he not more loved?
White did a fair bit in getting the Brumbies culture back to where it was established by Macqueen, players did things as a group rather than on their own, putting contracted players in to local clubs, build back the supply chain of local players and the side playing regular finals. Unfortunately the...

Re: Is Owen Farrell the most hated man in rugby?
He's obviously a great driver of standards and that's probably his biggest asset. His shoulder charges and their lack of sanction is very frustrating, but hardly enough to hate him. And noble motives aside, the flashing of gang signs post scoring is most unbecoming. That ‘gang sign’ is a tribute to...

Surely this will damage NRL's reputation.

Unless the T20 World Cup is postponed the AFL will have to look at alternative venues. The NRL can move their finals to Suncorp from the SCG.

Can’t see how the season can resume with that many fixtures and the RC to be played. The Highlanders also won’t be able to train for two weeks when they arrive back in NZ from Argentina.
Don’t know if the Sunwolves can train if they go back to Japan.
