Re: Springboks v Wallabies - Port Elizabeth: 29 Sep

The Wobs were pathetic. The forwards are a combination of powder puffs and custard creams. They lost every collision, not a single forward ball carrier bent the line. Folau Faingaa, dropped the ball 3 times, missed the tackle on Pollard which scored the try and lost two lineout throws in the 1st 20...

Re: 2018 AFL Grand Final

When Collingwood started to kill time in their own half when there was still 5 mins to go.... I thought they were screwed.

They'd spent the entire quarter struggling to get out of their half, and that was just the last thing they should be doing with only a 2 point lead.
