Re: Crusaders vs Waratahs Match Thread
Edmed had a blinder. Gordon never stopped trying. Holloway was a giant. Vailanu was good.
Where were the Crusaders? They were pretty poor.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Who was the Reds wing / centre who was going to set the world on fire. Had a three letter acronym and I think is a squad filler for the Rebels now off memory, CFS or something like that.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Gordon has always had the skill set but never the mindset. His slow play from the base and his inclination to look for penalties that are not there hold back any side he plays for. He had some good seasons, I thought he had a lot of leadership qualities during tough times. But he is now too bloody ...

10. Tom Lynagh. If his name was Tom Lyon you wouldn't be pushing for this. Let him develop first.

Brumbies looked impressive, great to see them and Rob Valetini continuing to set the standard for Australian rugby. I didn't think they were that good. They were clearly better than Rebels though. I thought Leota was pretty good. The Rebels played like a bunch of random players that had never met e...

Re: Melbourne Rebels goooooooone… soon to be Rebels Pasifika?
I’m hopeful the Rebels have a massive season that allows something new to be built quickly. If they go well early, perhaps it will spur decision makers to take action not to lose a Melbourne team. The players are fighting for their future, whether with the Rebels, or in Europe or Japan. Plenty of i...
