Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

It's he that small? Looks way bigger than Williams to me. I suspect FairWeather is speaking comparatively and not absolutely. Williams' peer group of outside back opponents would, AFAIK, be smaller than Toole's. Is that true? Looking at the RC opponents: SA has small wingers NZ has Clarke who is bi...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

Tbf, the Chiefs really did target his side during Super Round, the cover defence was non-existent. In my humble opinion, IMHO, Toole should be the first picked Wallaby. He is a lot like my previous favourite player ever, Shane Williams. Graham Henry refused to pick williams for Wales because he was...

Re: Irish unity....?

Thing is, if you were designing a new flag for a united Ireland now you'd probably want something green to represent nationalism, something orange to represent unionism and maybe something white in between to symbolise the hope for peace between the two...
