Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

La Rochelle fatties walking in midfield already. This bodes well for Leinster if they can keep the ball alive. How is Atonio a pro player he’s a complete joke Torq was right Skelton has also reverted to his fat pre-Sarries condition. He looks hefty and slow. Is this the first time you’ve seen Skelt...

Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread

How does that work as he kicked it when the clock was red? Because according to the ref, it wasn't red. Bloody homer ref! 👍 I am quite sure he knows the laws better than I do. Surely the ball would only be dead once the conversion happens or not? So if he kicked it at 80:01 then you would have to a...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders

Not a bad call but Kellaway is probably the smartest and most reliable rugby back in the country. I wouldn't say that was a great performance. It was decent with plenty of mistakes. I think they would have easily lost against top teams but the signs are encouraging. I want y them to improve their d...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

The Oz teams seem fitter this year. It’s probably the first time in 20 years when the kiwis didn’t seem noticeably fitter.

That’s a good sign.

Barrett-esque pickup at ankle height then hits the afterburners. Class. Yeah. That’s just elite. Some guys could make that catch but likely not erupt with such speed.

Gordon is so good in attack, reminds me so much of Larkham. If his kicking was half decent, he'd get a lot of test caps.
He just had another brain explosion.
What a knock on?
Dropped it in a tackle near his own line - very lucky that advantage wasn’t ruled over.

He’s a flake.

I'm in team Gordan-12. No way he can play 10 with his boot. But he has all the attributes of a great 2nd 10.

It’s a badly thought through law, right? A kicker has 90 seconds - makes sense. He can take his time and do his best. But does this mean a team has the right to run down the clock?
