My ‘Irish friends’ who grew up here are the children of groundworkers etc, but definitely all my Irish born friends have good professional jobs. Engineers, doctors etc- I think the manual workers all went to Australia this time. I’m not suprised by the salary findings. Think the manual workers have...

JOC was voted most handsome rugby player by the Japanese public during the world cup. There is a super awkward interview by a giggling Japanese reporter informing him of this.

The idea that there is some magic way of parachuting assistance into the mystical "Western Suburbs" and somehow competitive rugby clubs will emerge is laughable. Of course there's a way of parachuting in assistance - people willing to fund teams/programs for millions a year, ongoing. Your so-called...

According to the Woodies grapevine, John Manenti might be a candidate, but not until after the Olympics. Manenti coached West Harbour before moving to Eastwood. He is definitely not a Mosman chappie. The coach is not the real problem though, is it? Not that there's ever been "a Mosman chappie" as s...

Davis is like more hapless (if that is even possible) spawn of Clyne.

Mind you, CEO Doorn is a waster as well.

Anyway, when Australia gets back online, thoughts about Rob Penney? Was a discussion on the Tahs v Reds thread, but mostly the thought is Penney being hung out to dry.

That must be a mistake..... No BPA, FF or Uelese? Lonergan over FF, surprises a bit. Maybe a kick up the arse? LL seems a good footballer, dunno about test level. Good thrower.

Me too; England lost to the home countries, but beat France and Italy. So if that’s a triple clown, we never lost 3 and beat France. But yes, if the simple Triple Clown is lose to the other 3 Lions teams, then we won several in the 90s, and probably 80s too. It would seem Scotland have been triple ...

Interesting overview on the Premiership's structure by Mark Evans (ex quins/storm/force boss) toward the end of this pod from around the 1hr 38' mark (it's a long audio).

You can make or break your own arguments without needing to drag others in to have them support your points.

You know what, you're right. I apologise.
