Clearly premeditated.

My guess is that it made more sense for Black to play this game than 15 min off the bench vs Japan. Likewise Akira. :lol: That makes no sense whatsoever. Black and Akira would have given anything to have had the opportunity to earn a test cap. The Maori were going to win all their games on tour reg...

Are you saying the Australian ref is a racist ?

Australians racist? Never!

CI feels the need to protect the reputation of Australian coaches and refs but he also knows 100% if it was a Tongan player tackling he would have been carded and no one would have blinked an eye.

Curious if Farrell's defender's would see this as a penalty?
Can someone explain to me why the Saffers have moved on and all the Kiwis have gone a bit silly?

Saffa are asleep, kiwis are fishing.

Sad when a leek runner clings to an Australian ref's choke in favour of ingerland as their sole comfort.

However, a sarcastic Jones said: "You can get cited for something you did at a party when you were 15, anything could happen.

"I've got no idea what can happen," the Australian added.

Is that a reference to Kavanaugh?

That's not ironic, ask any chicken runner.

Zero. It's not a red card offence.

High, no arms...surely WR will want to law down the law after Angus' Rolex moment.

As long as Pivac doesn't start scouring NZ for players with Welsh grannies then you can keep those guys.

Plenty in Fulham, hard to spot but you hear them as they make a very distinctive sound. Regarding the weather, easy to see how they survive in the current climate but let's not forget the weather 5-ish months ago. I guess the Himalaya foothills get a bit of snow too so it makes sense if that species...

Yeah I hear you. Regarding the last thing, I must disagree! Sonny Bill, Jason Robinson, Chris Ashton (as much as I dislike him and his gay swan-dives) have all done all right. Before them, Wendell Sailor was good and under-rated for Australia, as Matt Rogers was also pretty good. In fact, I can't r...

QLD in winter is usually great, summer is actually wetter and the humidty+heat is a killer. NZ can be very dreary in winter but early autumn is one of the best times to visit IMO.

NRL is the premier comp not just in terms of quality but also in terms of money, so essentially they can dictate the way they want the game to be played and run, whereas in rugby the game seems to be being pulled in many different directions and no one side is really happy with the current state of ...

Is this considered larrikinism?

It's definitely ridiculous to write any player off in their early/mid 20s. Like you say, some take time to find the right approach and environment. Sure Fardy only really broke through in his late 20s as well. Probably more unusual for a back to break through later. Frank Bunce didn't play for the ...

Australians at least admit their soccer team is crappy (although we did have a reasonable side a few tournaments back).

You guys really do not help yourselves at all with this shit. It got attention because it was a high profile match, there was a weird set of refereeing decisions surrounding this and the previous incident, there's some history over citings, and it was a very serious head injury as a result.

I wonder if the preponderance of Welsh posters in this thread is the fact they aren't considered relevant enough to be playing any of the top 3 SH nations this June. I notice the Irish and English have more important things to worry about than hand-wringing over a match that didn't involve them. Or...
