Agreed. We need rugby players who are athletes, not athletes made into rugby players

Good to see two tier-2 nations in the RWC, behind the AIG All Blacks, putting on such a competitive game

Just thinking the Wallabies have one third of their squad with Pacific Islands roots and yet NZ is the only one usually criticised for it especially when most of theirs were born in NZ. Does this plum have a f**k off button? Dude I was just thinking about it not criticising it! Sensitive plum! 😂 Ko...

Happy to give Larkham some credit here, cause he's been shit for awhile The first phase, i.e. set phase attack, for the wallabies has been excellent :thumbup: I have a feeling Quade has taken over a lot of responsibility for coaching the attack. He's about as smart as a bag of sand, but he has a ru...

Fardy on for McMahon it seems. Mumm's reign of mediocrity continues. :| What's Mumm actually done? Maybe one carry and a handful of tackles? He's been good in the lineout and solid in tight He's been solid tonight. You'll often see him leading the defensive line up too. Ineffective when he hits the...

Both teams (especially Australia) have blown a lot of great scoring opportunities...... Fuggit. True. So many opportunities. It's actually pretty amazing that the score is only 12-10. There have been some superb covering tackles from both sides though, which has also contributed. Yes the cover defe...

For reals?

I think a lot of players and pundits don't realise how strong Quade is. That's three times tonight that he's had the ball in one hand and thrown away a defender with the other. Thought it was well known how strong he is, he has huge arms.. allows those ridiculous 30 metre flat bullets Strong in the...

Not a Kerevi fan at all, but fair play, he's having an excellent game, especially his defence :thumbup: Uh,,, he has zero rugby nous His defence has been utterly woeful since coming into the Wallabies setup. He's doing fantastically well today though, so that's a :thumbup: from me. More than happy ...

Guys guys put this in context This is an ausie team ( who were destroyed by the English) looking good against a Saffa team destroyed by politically correct coaching Honestly Aus is not that good SA is playing with pure willpower because coaching has been lacking since 2007 Ah ok, that's how you thi...

Did this story make NZ national news?

edit: sorry, to clarify, I mean like ur nightly news on tv

kearnstar

My issue with Fardy is his lack of impact in the grunt. He'll win turnovers on defence with finesse, but he won't disrupt at a ruck with force, smash fookers with big hits nor bend the line on attack We should be looking elsewhere now, while we're early in the RWC cycle He's excellent at disrupting...

6. Timani 7. Hooper 8. McMadDog That is going to be a disaster at lineout time I reckon Yep. Smith/Waugh/Lyons is not the solution. Timani and Dawg both do minor lineout work for Rebels.

Hooper was unbelievable, his work rate was McCawesque For mine our backrow going forward should be 6. Timani 7. Hooper 8. McMadDog And a similar one for the Spring Tour, obviously with some other new blood sprinkled in. We could then start Arnold & Coleman together for awhile as Coleman basically pl...

Still don't understand why the Lions coach wasn't given the gig. He turned a bunch of rejects into a finals team, much like the Highlanders. Very good coach :thumbup: Politicians say lack of experience. Reason says skin colour. Reason might also say that the Bok coach was appointed well before Acke...

Question for refs re: that disallowed prop try. Firstly, the fact the Aussie commentators are still banging on about 'hands on the ball' as meaning the ruck is over is kind of revealing. World Rugby: When a scrum half attempts to retrieve the ball from a ruck, the ball is not out until that player ...

The best plan atm is up the middle when you have possession. The kiwi soup teams and the ABs play a spread defence, so the pick and go or pick and offload are definitely the way to go ball in hand right now. Argies did it well for awhile but couldn't maintain it Outscoring them is probably the harde...
