Greg Clarke was always a good lead man, for me anyway. Rod Kafer seemed level headed and sensible but has descended down a right wing anti vax rabbit hole on Twitter. The accounts that dipshit follows and retweets :blush: The one commentator we couldn't abide was Kearns. Since hes helped get us the...

Yes, and he's improved out of sight as a commentator now he's not surrounded bu the rest of them.
And Clarke does the Drua games, you know that right?
Yes. Thankfully that's the only time I have to hear him anymore, and we're better off for it.

Dont think many agree with you.

What about those Jackjumpers?

I find him very hit or miss. He's clearly exceptionally passionate and knowledgable about the game and when he focuses on that he has some brilliant insights. He's also very good and careful with pronuncing players' names correctly, which is more than can be said for most commentators. On the other...

Any selection of Wallabies XV is premature at the moment. Look at Wilson, first forward picked last week, couldnt catch a ball this week against the Force. More will be revealed against Kiwi opposition in a few weeks as Oz derbies continue until then. No Oz side has stood out in front quite yet alth...

I cant see the Tahs taking a win off anyone but Rebels or Force for the remainder of the season. Coleman is toast

Nice warm up for Georgia. Maybe even give their young players a run out Last time the two sides met it was a comfortable 43-19 win. Georgia are overreaching themselves here. This. The team that put 43 points on them last year was basically the same side that we're currently fielding. Even as gash a...

Wright looking like a world XV player tonight. Wish he could do it consistently. That’s one of the best tries I’ve ever seen. It gets better each time I watch it.

The most disturbing piece from that Roar article....

Australian newspaper rugby columnist Jessica Halloran

Dont they mean anti rugby?
Otherwise same shit different day, the NSW/QLD so called rivalry or handbags at dawn chipping away at the the viability of the game.

Ahhh its all a bit boring these days.

Update is Bris and Sydney sold out, MCG moving fast and Adelaide also moving well......first sale. Second public sale later in the year. UK Lions supporters can only buy through local sellers there, around 40k expected to come over, so say 20k per match as that will spread. Any left after all that g...

no one watched the game behind a paywall.
Paywalls.... Killer of sports everywhere...

Yeah no need for another rectangular stadium. Cricket is needed though. Yeah so ACB/GABBA trust and AFL fund the GABBA upgrade.

It’s reputational damage for rugby. NRL must be lapping all of this up. It’s amateur hour and it gives a really bad look to other players — who’ve probably all been on their WhatsApp groups making plans. Why would horse guy care?

There is a 100% chance that the games will be all sold out, right? Ergo, the price is either correct or lower than market demand. This is how much elite sporting events cost - I don’t know what the whinging is about. There is always an "elite" event around the corner and the public are told they ca...

NSW cops are special alright. Last year, one of them tasered a 90yo lady with dementia (who was holding a knife) and killed her. All they had to do was get a riot shield out and bowl her over onto a mattress. Nope, taser her so her head cracks on the floor. SMH She gave a bit of lip, its standard p...

I hope so. But there are tests this season too, hopefully punters have money left over.

Does anyone else feel that this was a somewhat rushed and poorly delivered ticket release to tide up the coffers and stop Rugby AU from going under? The general feel is that most of the Australian Rugby community were unaware that it was happening and there was little to no publicity in the last fe...

I'd still go Lolesio though, he's got experience . I'd prefer a 10 with talent. or you just dont like him An acquaintance of ours, whose son went to TSS (on a rugby scholarship I think) a couple of years behind Lolesio told us that he had been a really good guy at school, and for a year or two afte...

Positive 12 months for Portugal.
World Rugby need to make sure these teams keep on ticking.

Easiest way is more games. Good that Georgia is coming out to Oz this year.

Wallabies need a reliable kicker this year more than ever. 2-3 super games have been lost due to established kickers leaving 3-6+ points wide.
Crazy that still no one is standing out from any of them. It would certainly end the discussion on which fly half to pick.

We're going to have 3 tests with 85% of the crowd being braying Lions' fans, aren't we? I don't go to live matches these days. It's too expensive. You have lots of options for events in Brisbane, too. But this a once in 12 years special occasion. If we had a quarter decent side I would pay but we a...

Every coach in the entire comp has the same limitation, and again the Tahs squad has been very stable for a few years injuries notwithstanding. Anyway Bell is some player.
