There are NO Wolves in the Ukraine

The Rout would be handy then.

I read a very good post from an ex-Bradley driver in GW1 and they said it's clear the Russians have lied massively about their armour capability Good propaganda! Re:Drones.

Paddy Tuipulotu is back as captain . First major selection of the Vern Cotter era. He’s probably the most experienced player of the current crop so he gets it almost by default. He seems a good pick. Picked if fit and can play 80. Lets see if it lifts his game so he is in contention for a black jer...

I hope he gets a good amount of jail time, stripped of Australian citizenship if he has it, and sent home.

Classy.

What's Razor's minimum required return for Year 1? Anything less than a 100% win rate is unacceptable, though that is the same for all AB coaches. That would be outperformance considering the experience he’s lost. A few losses will be on the cards. I’ll be more interested in demonstration of intell...

I like the hurricanes strategy. Two easy warm ups against the bottom teir of the NZ conference where we have no travel and can play the extended squad.

Nothing, who said it did? It's got everything to do with not liking the guy and not wanting him to succeed. If you want to talk about on field talent though, he's a flat track bully who barely averaged 30 away, averaged 26 and 21 in England and India where it really matters, and averaged 31 over th...

Benny Hill called. He would like his racist joke back.

Yep, former powerhouse cricketing nation, now a laughing stock. The Wallabies of the cricketing world? I wouldn't go that far. :twisted: Cruel but fair. The Windies for quite a few years dominated Test cricket in a way the Wobs never came near in rugby. I don’t think any of the rugby nations had an...

Anyone of six teams could win this. City seem to be having a rest year.. which leaves it open for a bunch of otter teams if they can get on a run.

Which teams put otters out to play? Cute but not my pick for best animal to play football

Definitely prefer roast lamb to ham, but snacking on ham for a week is fantastic. Slightly side point, no one seems to have noticed the OP saying they ate close to their body weight over 3-4 days.

Wait what? Is there an official start time? I was never aware of "bit early" ever being a "thing"?

Sun should be over the yard arm for a civilised person, though I guess you just pour straight after rolling out of bed?

Ridiculous, Australia needs more teams not less. Barring that more games. Super rugby is already half of an AFL/NRL season. Take my own viewing habits. As soon as Super finishes. I watch the two RC games then select an NRL game or two of interest and the final quarter of whatever footy is on. I’m c...

He is... there was some article about him being "committed to Leicester" which is what you'd expect someone in his position to say before being officially approached/interviewing for the position. He's contracted to Leicester. England spent nearly a million pounds getting Borthwick released from Le...

I have a weird feeling that he’ll move to 7 with the AB’s and someone like Sotutu will really raise their game under Razor at 8 . Sotutu has so much potential as an 8. He has speed, footwork, the best ball handling/passing game of any backrower in NZ and is a lineout target. Unfortunately he was ne...

I saw Paddy T in Countdown the other week. Fvck he's huge. Looking fairly trim too, like an actual lock. Could have should have - been a great AB . Wtf happened ? He's never been fit enough. He has always lacked the workrate to be an effective test level lock. I believe the condition is known as th...

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I'm fascinated to see what Razor does with our locking stocks next year. With Retallick and Whitelock gone, and Vai'i and Lord flattering to decieve so far, it's the area that will require the most attention and rebuilding IMO. Only Barrett is nailed on. In my opi...

Seems like a low win % for the messiah.

Pretty happy with most ABs level of play over the year.

100/0 20 overs into the series. I imagine it'll continue on more or less like that, hard to see any match being close. Aus to rack up 400+ more or less every time they bat, Pak to struggle to pass the follow-on. Warner will probably have a bumper series in his final outing, undeservedly. Should be ...
