Aussies could do some sort of performance about denying indigenous people any rights.

If the NRL and AFL were to disappear, the ARU would just buy in 'marquee' signings from soccer and American football. Flash-in-the-pan bums on seats is more important than winning.

As long as we out perform France and Ireland in the CWC, I think we can chalk this up as a year of sporting success?

What a surprising result (certainly margin of victory) to wake up to. I wonder who will make room for Williamson. Will they look at Ravindra opening after that innings and Will Young missing out? Would have to be. Hope his bowling improves - having a spinner as a top order batsman opens up so much ...

Apparently this is trending a bit at the moment. My wife asked if I thought about the Romans much. I said I don't give them much thought because they were fascists and not my vibe and I give them about as much thought as Nazi Germans which is sfa. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-01/why-do-men-t...

What? France 13 points ABs 10 points Ita 10 points If ABs don't get a bonus point and Italy win with a bonus point while France get a losing bonus point: Ita 15 France 14 ABs 14 First tie breaker is head-to-head, not points differential. So ABs only guaranteed a spot if they get a bonus point win. ...

Play the A team. They have played fudge all rugby as a unit. Many of them one game in 3 weeks and they only have 0-3 weeks of games remaining after this. If they can't cope with that workload, then they shouldn't be there. They need to have their combinations right going into the QF - not chopping ...

It should come down to whether it is meant to crown the best team in the world or just be a participation festival of rugby. If the former, then the worst ranked teams should get the short end of the stick and the top ranked should get the most beneficial calendar. I'd go as far as letting the top 4...

One of those groups today was fairly tenuous - I got it based on the obvious one in the grouping (rather than just happening to have the four left over), but 3 of them were "things that may be" rather than "things that are. "

Personally, I think that not only should Georgia replace Italy in the 6N, but on recent performances Ferrari should also be fvckked off from Formula 1 and replaced by a team from Tbilisi.

Demilich

How are the ABs "performing above expectations"? We have had one hard game and got toweled by a record margin. The game against Italy is mostly meaningless, as the All Blacks always have it in them to absolutely smash a team they have an advantage over (even if that team usually keeps the score tigh...

The line of what is "native" is pretty vague. How many hundreds of years do they have to be there before they become "native"? How long a species has been somewhere is irrelevant to whether it is 'native' or not (unless it evolves into a separate species, in which case, it's no longer the original ...

I f**king hate the yoof of today. Absolutely no f**king respect for anything. I'd ship him and the lad who stabbed that poor girl to death in Croydon and every f**king waster like them to the front line in Ukraine. The problem with the “da yoof” of today is two things. One is the predominant cultur...

Sheesh, its not even a native species. I hate them. It's a really invasive species and need kept on top of. We've felled out about 20 up to 120 years old (as well as a bunch of other trees) as we deal with literally a century of neglect. We're replanting with native species, and making sure there a...

Straight red card for the offending hooker. Cvnts get way too many tries nowadays to be considered genuine forwards anyway. It's unseemly.

A sensible line to take might be this: Biden and Trump are too old to run again. And Trump given his evident lack of judgment, moral compass and generally poor temperament, should never have run in the first place. But I suspect getting fans of the very stable genius and advocates of the ‘best fore...

Can't really say much on the differences between them, but I did have a Garmin Forerunner and it was OK. I replaced it with one of the more featured Huawei ones and much prefer it.

Can we wait till we get out of our own pool before deciding if they really need our charity?

Then, if we do, we can give them Foster.

This thread must be full of backs - standing on opposition players hands at rucks has always been entirely acceptable forward shit-housery. We learnt it in under 8s. Is that video distorted, or is the Saffa just an extremely wierdly shaped human? Somehow looks like a giant dwarf, with a normal torso...

Propaganda, narrative, capture the flag etc.

A big 'win' is probably more important to Ukraine right now than it was for Russia when they took it (whether that is Bakhmut or a mainstream media worthy breakout down south).

Once you hit the finals it falls into what we call the 'harden up' injury category. It's not going to see him killed or permanently maimed if he plays and it get's worse, so possible to play through the pain/risk (look up John Sattler for an example of a far worse break at the start of a final).

Scored my last one back in May. 10 minutes later, I hit a hole at pace, stepped the last defender on the line and started running the ball round between the posts for my second (not celebrating, just making the kick easier). Young fulla snuck in behind me and whacked the ball out before I got it dow...

Stop quoting him you fvcking spackers.

Everytime one of these trolls pops up, you charge into them flailing like a mobik meat-wave and the result is the same circular arguments and feeding thier nonsense. You appear to be adapting at an even slower rate than the Russians.

You can't peak for 7 weeks. No pro team keeps the same team for 7 weeks. Totally agree - and there is no need to Too right, the Boks lost their best hooker in training.

You can't peak for 7 weeks. No pro team keeps the same team for 7 weeks. Sure they do - at least the main core of it, with only forced or form changes. And they don't have to 'peak' for 7 weeks - they have a couple of low impact lead in matches where the intensity will be low. The top team needs ti...

Should be playing the intended finals side from this point on. It's not worth resting players or 'giving everyone a run'. The team needs consistent game time together to gel. Only swap out players if someone is going shit and they lose thier spot or there is a minor niggle that genuinely needs reste...

Considering most RWC feature a tier 2 beating tier 1, it's hardly a shocking prediction. And the fact the gap between a lot of sides has narrowed, it isn't likely to be 'the mother of all upsets'.

Will one of our tank guys please enlighten me. I just read a report that Russia was pulling all of her Armata tanks off the front lines.

Scotland. They've never been good enough to be arrogant. Winning the world cup would allow them that. And then we can all have another nation to hate.

The officiating will be far less impactful than the media and fan reactions to the officiating, which will further rugbys descent into a sport that is more about people crying and being a victim than actually enjoying the game itself.

Was the second yellow also upgraded to a straight red on review for that single incident, or is he cited for recieving two yellows in a game?
