Question for refs re: that disallowed prop try. Firstly, the fact the Aussie commentators are still banging on about 'hands on the ball' as meaning the ruck is over is kind of revealing. World Rugby: When a scrum half attempts to retrieve the ball from a ruck, the ball is not out until that player ...

Twas a butt of the head Etzebeth was dishing out many, many forearm facials all game Ref and TMO missed it all so kinda washes hands I guess. Wasn't exactly a wind-up headbutt with force, nor Etzebeth doing more than the standard Bok Lock Welcome :lol: so now it's ebbs and flows. Yeah.Pretty funny ...

Thanks fella's

Atm we're all scrambling for 2nd-4th, and I don't see why such events can't be good rugby to watch. Looking forward to the return leg

Quality player Dominant big, either hand, Russell was a phenomenal player but definitely had the better teams One thing always overlooked for Chamberlain was how smart a basketballer he was.

How many titles did he get, 2? Bill Russell owned him in the finals. Shagged an awful lot of women though by all accounts. Yup. Always thought his claim to true greatness across all sport was destroyed by Russell's Celtics. Not sure, but didn't Magic have a big hand in his second title ? Great stat...

A wins a win Of note, for the Boks raking on Faf, he took a solid rip-tickler early on and never looked right after that. He's also playing to a gameplan that is not utilising his skills well Personally I really like Faf, and think he's your 9 of the future. He and Jantes are a great halves combo th...

So anyway, back to the topic, we agree 8 weeks would have been reasonable, downgraded to perhaps 4 to 6 given a clean record? No, we don't. We are surprised he wasn't cited but that's mainly because of the amount of bleating the citing officer must have felt a lot of pressure. Still we haven't hear...

A helpful fair and balanced guide to help you make your decision. Saracens - Bought their success with dubious krugerrands and an intensely dislikable form of rugby. Part owned by the worst human being since Pol Pot went west, their ground is a plastic-fantastic half empty prefab somewhere you'd ne...

Saracens are 30-3 up after 60mins up despite not playing particularly well. You might want to rethink this. :uhoh: By birthright I barrack for St Kilda in the AFL I tend to take a team as obligated rather than bandwagoning a good one, no biggie :thumbup: By all fairness I could be an All Black and ...

Yeah looking like Quins Thanks all Out of curiosity, what would Covent Garden be? London Irish? CG is right in town. There are no rugby teams around there really.

Is this like round 1 or 2? Lots of handling mistakes / knock ons which would be expected. Good rugby though, I could get right behind this

Well Cheika probably did think he would get it all handed to him on a platter after the result in Sydney last year vs the All Blacks. Barnes let Pocock and Hooper basically do whatever they wanted and they did exactly that. Notice how Pocock is still doing all his hands on the ground bridging crap ...

What Cheika has insinuated brings the game into disrepute. Does he honestly believe the ref that handed him the English game in the world cup on a platter has since turned into a vitriol cheat? So wait, refs can be bent, just (going by kiwi supporters' bored postings over the years) never in the Al...

Why play advantage from a not releasing? The advantage is getting the ball. Poite was about to give a PK for not releasing but the ball popped out to Australia - therefore they got the ball. A ruck then formed, NZ won that contest and then Moore was offside. Looked ugly as hell but I understand the...

kearnstar

Went to the game and found that Poite let the game become incredibly slow, felt like we watched about 15 minutes of scrum resets at the end of the game. At this stage it also felt like the wobs were just killing the clock to keep the score down. Watching the ABs hand speed live as they shifted the ...
