Well done France, deserved the win. Their pressure at the breakdown to force turnovers or penalties really hurt us. By comparison, I don't really remember us getting too many breakdown turnovers. We really need to improve in this area, both in terms of protecting our own ball and also putting press...

From all reports he forgot to attach some things to his application.

Anyway, what is the mod roll call these days - Jake the Mighty - Thomas the apprentice/work experience kid - Honkers the Absent - BBB still? That blind bat Hong Kong is about just not posting.

See you in 6 months

Are you asking to be banned?

There are 4 days before the next test, Mog. Players need a rest. To'omua cost us heaps with his passing. Just shit. And that misread in defence which resulted in a French try. He played better than last week but was still shit. Lolesio played better but still isn't the playmaker the Wallabies need. ...

A nice catch-all thread for loons.

I like it.

Man, it's frustrating to be a Wallaby fan. Moments of brilliance and then just pure shit. Anyway, changes I'd like to see for Saturday. Wright, To'omua and Lolesio dropped. JOC in at 10, Paisami at 12 and Big F uc ken Lenny at 13. Daugunu onto the wing and I wouldn't be adverse to seeing MK get a re...

The French tries were lucky? Is that the angle we are using? I’m onboard, but I need to ensure we’re all onboard before I start pushing bullshit theories. The French didn’t play great but at key times they showed tonnes of potential and opened us up. Both teams were rusty, but I saw enough from Fra...

He's on a list. Personally, I'd love to see him fried because he genuinely offers nothing to the bored.

But...these decisions aren't up to me.

That surely should have helped the case for his Oz application. Seriously, it should be a no brainer. It's Australia. The ideologies of Scumo and Dutton and the Fuhrer are ingrained in their society. It's a right wing country. The Australian rugby community won't help Quade Cooper because their all...

Thanks, man, thought it an appropriate response to the thread title. Good for you too though, man.

Started with a last gasp win over the French in the rugby. Ash Barty went on to win Wimbledon. Now the Boomers have flogged USA in basketball. Nice. Another victory tonight would be icing on the cake. I would struggle to remain humble. I bet you'll give all that up just to put two hands on the Bled...

I'm feeling pretty toasty right now yes.

I hope there's more cohesion tonight. I wasn't too fussed about last week's game. The Wobs got the win and it was the first match of the international season. When was the last time they played well in the first international? Last year was an anomaly. Plus they could easily got another 3 tries if ...

+2 Although if we win, I'd like to see a few changes for game 3. A Tate start, Paisami and Ikitau centre combo. Maybe Hosea off the bench. Wouldn't mind seeing Muirhead in 23. A wild one might be Wright at fullback - maybe too wild for a test. If the Wallabies win tomorrow night, I reckon all bets ...

If he'd added "virtue signalling" we would have had angry middle aged man bingo.

I'm concerned there will desperate people trying to cross the Tasman illegally. How? By boat? Can you just drive across the NSW border to a state where quarantine free travel to NZ still operates? Victoria has closed it's border. QLD has checkpoints but will probably close it today or tomorrow.

How?

By boat?

I'm happy for Gordon to get another crack. But this is probably his last chance as a starting halfback.

Have sympathy for the late hit - it's the kind of shit I do as a cynical old man. "I didn't hear the whistle sir!"

Ref said it was a shoulder charge too

Ref said that was a shoulder charge and said he didn't need to look at the replay. Amateur stuff.

ABs score off the penalty...

BARTY PARTY TONIGHT!

Great try. There's a moment there where he thought he'd get tackled and was looking around for options, but the tackles never came, and the goal line kept getting closer and closer. That "sheet mate I could score here!" moment. That's the part I love. He's 15m out and just goes "screw this, I'm goi...

I always thought Anthony Fainga'a was underrated. Sort of a foil for Quade's flair. Hard running and sure tackler. Quade never really worked well with a second playmaker. Both centres outside him were defensive monsters who could pass adequately. That allowed him to play his whole hand. The match a...

And yet today Australian teams won't even play against NZ teams, because apparently Kiwis are too good at Rugby and Australian fans won't watch games that their teams might lose. It's sad to see how far Australian rugby has fallen in a decade. https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/...

I didn't think I needed to mention it after mentioning it and referencing it by posting a clip of the try.

Did you want captions or something?

Title is correct. 10 years ago today the Reds beat the Crusaders at Suncorp stadium to clinch the trophy. I was at the game with my wife who was pregnant with our second so I was on the beers and had to take a piss badly during the match. When I came back to my seat and sat down, this happened. http...

Good article on the Roar this morning about Gordon and Tate. Nick Bishop says Tate's deficiencies still mean he should start and that Gordon had a shocker. There are gifs. Lots of them.

Uncanny.

Who amongst the Fr impressed? Is the new FB any good? The Toulon winger with the red scrum cap. Danty was a beast. Like a fit Bastranau. He caused a lot of turnovers, not sure why we kept sending one off runners at him. None of their forwards seemed immense, Cretin looked handy but the rest were OK...

Some good discussion on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/com ... opers_try/

The general consensus is that it looked suss but was perfectly legal.

Swinton is a walking red card.

I don't want him anywhere near a gold jersey until he can control himself.
