Do you miss him?

I don't see what the issue is here. Loads of people sleep in other people's homes via CouchSurfing all the time and this is no different. The only downside is the distance between his house and London which would make visiting and going to the games too inconvenient and possibly expensive. +1 Some ...

House? You mean one of many mansions he's got?

So Placid, and Toby Smith injured. Couple of more local club rugby players in the 23. Will be interesting to see how they go against NSW country with a little weakened team. Good chance for local players. I'm hoping we can see Fereti Saagaa soon.

They have done it before

When?
But will rUK let them back in this time?

TranceNRG

This might be a silly question. If Scotland becomes an independent country, if things don't work out, is it possible for them to be part of the UK again? I keep hearing that there's no way back (from a yes vote).

Hi Kiap is there a thread for round 5? Rising vs NSW country should be a great game.

Apparently JRP and DAC are banned for a month for getting a bit carried away on the Scottish independence thread. I know things can get a bit over the top but for JRP especially it's something he's obviously completely consumed with, and might be a once in a lifetime thing. Maybe taking the passion...

bit daft to ban people for doing what theyve done on this forum since time immemorial quite, getting banned for a bit of name calling on a rugby forum, the mods make openclash look like a 2 season rugby spectator whatever your views on the melrose muppet, hes been very good value batting away a vas...

Sefton = officially lost it. I'm sorry I thought you were in league with Jrp, you're actually worse. Chipping in from the sidelines and now callout threads. Sort yourself out mate. This isn't a callout thread. Jrp becoming the first poster to make 30,000 posts is a very significant milestone in bor...

And Moore wasn't even there today. He's supposed to be a better set piece hooker than TPN. Future for our scrum looks good indeed.

I thought we did very well on last year's NH tour.

I think fair to say James Slipper is one of the best prop in world rugby at the moment

TranceNRG

Cowan has never been a good scrummager but he's been good in other areas. I'd pick Sio ahead of him when he's fit.

TranceNRG

I thought the ref was pretty good on fair on both teams.

TranceNRG

But according to the scrum experts here (mostly NH trolls), our scrum is the worst

TranceNRG

Betham didn't put in outside of the try. He didn't even attempt a tackle on one of the Argie tries when he conceivably could have stopped it. A lot of poor options taken by both sides. Phipps had another good match but cost us a try against us by repeatedly going blind for no apparent reason. The A...

Can't wait for David Pocock to come back.

Turned down 3 points again. Stupid decision. Hooper is a shit captain.

Jones played poorly against the Frogs. He won't be in the 23 so playing rugby will get him ready for test rugby quicker than sitting in the stands. Higgers has had 10 mins of rugby since the super season. His super season was appalling. How is he in form? McCalman was massive in super rugby and has...

That's a good crowd for a Thursday night in Melbourne. I'm surprised that the QRU didn't release official figures for the last game at Ballymore. I reckon they'd have had at least 4k. Yep decent crowd for a Thursday night in Melbourne. Apparently it was pretty cold too. They'll get more for the sun...

It deserves a lot more exposure then it is getting and more people showing up. IMO the respective unions need to look at package deals of Super Rugby + NRC tickets next year. An offer of some Soup games and say $40 on top for 4 NRC games. Maybe also a deal whereby registered junior club/schools pla...

Great article about NRC by Scott Allen http://www.theroar.com.au/2014/09/12/nrc-will-make-huge-difference-australian-rugby/ We’re into Round 4 of the inaugural National Rugby Championship and already the benefits for Australian rugby are obvious. During the planning stages for the competition, every...

And Higginbotham to start ahead of Carter. Luke Jones on the bench...oh wait he said one change damnit.

Just back from the game. Best on ground first half was PAE by a country mile. McMahon in the second. He, like Jones, just has an enormous tank. Over the course of the whole game though I'd give it to Veainu - so dangerous when he runs the ball. Consistently made metres. Placid's knee looked v.v. ba...

I can understand why cordingly left the rebels. He recruited a bunch of very good players and the coach goes and picks blokes like Mitchell, Roberts and Fugilstaller instead. Err I think he was there when these players were recruited. He probalby had a say in most of those recruitments. And Mitchel...

I have to agree re: the Rising team tonight being better than the Rebels were in SR. I think the NRC will do the Rebels a world of good. The style they are playing here should be the one they adopt at that level. I'm not so sure. Different standards and opposition and different rules. Can't compare...

Good game. Didn't look like a touch rugby game like some of the games from the first round. Well, it was certainly close to it in terms of tempo. But yeah, the physicality is ramping up and the defence is stiffening. Yeah physicality and defence improving which is good. That was probably one of the...

Gee Johansson after all these years and gained weight is still playing OK. Great kick.
