As an aside, is the Spectator the same as it is in Australia? A faux news site that frames opinions from right wing loons as fact? The original Speccy was a great read. Especially Jeffrey Bernard, when he was well enough. The Australian version has always been shite. I tried it, and spewed it out.

Where's Hooper? He will need to be in top form during the Bledisloe series. It will be his job to catch Mo'unga.

I am going to head down the hill to watch this game - looking forward to it immensely. Wollongong is a great part of the world. Really? I think it is an absolute shit hole. It used to be. I worked at the Steelworks in the sixties, the whole neighbourhood was caked in red dust. It is lot nicer now, ...

We've been down this path before where everyone took it for grant he'd lose. Because this person said this and that etc. Open and shut case. It turned out to be bullshit. Which is why I think it wasn't pointed/stated specifically. I’m not sure that’s true. Corporations do everything possible to sta...

We were in Belfast a few years ago in May, went to the Friday market and bought the best strawberries ever grown in the history of the world. Fact.

Every country that grows mangoes thinks theirs are the best. Thai mangoes would get my vote.

He'll need to keep his head down when he runs with the ball. I reckon there would be a few old hard heads, and some young bucks, who will enjoy trying to knock it off his neck.

If he has an ounce of self-respect, he will refuse match payments, no matter which level he ends up at.

wamberal

Palmer just wants to keep his name on display. The "Southport Tigers" FFS. No disrespect, but is this what Izzy really sees as his future?

To be fair, Whittakers have made the un-drinkable very edible: Bundaberg ginger is very drinkable Bundaberg Ginger beer is high bar stuff. An amazing drink. Their Sars is pretty good, too. Mind you, I only drink the diet varieties, have not seen diet Sars in the local Woolies for months.

Actually, it's that he occasionally goes missing when he's needed to do the hard work - like making his designated tackles. That's not to say he wasn't a good poach for the Brumbies, after being developed elsewhere, at provincial level. Harry Wilson is a better #8. Valetini needs to learn make thos...

wamberal

So far Valetini has knocked on under zero pressure, and then missed his tackle on Mo'unga and let in a soft try. Anyone still think he should be in the wallabies squad? Yes, I do. Did you watch the Uni-Easts game this afternoon? Nah, we watched our team getting schooled by Norths. Did you just see ...

The White Parisse gives me confidence that we will see an upset. I’m putting a watermelon on the Tahs in a one-game multi that pays 16’s! Absolutely, that Hurricanes team on paper is weak in the pack and very green in the backs. If my 3 game multi wins I think I will have enough to buy the Waratahs...

tbf, it was Pek Cowan too. I think he should also pay the Western Force 100k yen for every game he played. He comes under “journeymen”. He got bullied in Perth club rugby. One of the least talented players to make a living out of the game. I remember when the Force tried to make him a hooker.... be...

Is 'polynesian' a racist term now? I missed that memo if so. No it's not. But referring to someone's ethnicity or skin colour in the context of insulting them is still probably a bit racist. For example, if I went up to a white person, who I thought was a cvnt, and called them a "white cvnt" then I...

By whom?

wamberal

Agree with Towny about Valetini. What sealed it for me was the (legal) collision with Harry Wilson, which took Wilson off the field, and had no noticeable effect on Valetini.

Backrow of Valetini, Wilson, and Hooper, I reckon.

wamberal

Better team lost, IMHO. The Brumbies attack looked lethal in the first half, dunno how the Reds survived.

The ending was not a particularly good advertisement for our game. "The Keystone Cops try to play rugger".

He did things that no other fly-half has ever done. Some of them were wonderful.

Agree.

No way Australians will vote for Dutton on that basis We don’t like warmongers Having said that, most* of us don’t like smoking CCP pole, either The first step is for Dutton to destabilise Scummo. Another possibility is that he is under pressure to retain his own electorate. Otherwise he is just a ...

wamberal

My theory is that Dutton is going to challenge Scummo. The idea that the ruling party seriously entertains the possibility of war with the PRC is nutty. Australian citizens of Chinese descent would be aghast at the prospect, they might dislike the ruling party in the PRC, but they would be totally a...

It will be really interesting to see how some of these selections survive after the baptism of fire against the Keewees. I will back my picks to survive and thrive.

wamberal

Tom Wright at full back, with MK and Vunivalu on the flanks. I would not have Neville in the team, unless he shows that he can step against the Keewee teams. He has a tendency to go missing when the going gets tough.

wamberal

Sir Garfield St Aubrun Sobers. Best of all time. If he had wanted to, he could have played Test cricket until the "Modern Era", whatever that is.

Narendra Modi has farked his nation up, holding huge political rallies, but some of his fellow Hindus have aided and abetted him, some of those farking religious practices are just stupid under the current environment.

wamberal

Who the fark gave Dutton the imprimatur to pontificate about quarantine facilities? This prick seems to be running amok at the moment. This is on top of the "he said, she said" rape gaffe. Maybe he is starting to realise that he will never, ever, be PM.

wamberal

I'm totally on the Perese for 13 bandwagon now. Some of his offloads were magnificent on the weekend - completely under control and not speculative. Think Wright is the best player to play outside him as he is very good at positioning to give himself space when he gets the ball. Petaia will be fine...

What are you actually saying? I am not actually saying anything particularly original, for a change. This is a saying that was originally attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Take your own meaning from it.

Toomua seems to have lost a bit of his speed, or something. I would not pick him at 12.

wamberal

Apparently driven by: The impact is also being felt at the community level with a 16.4% surge in player registrations from the same time in 2019. This is largely due to the greater broadcast reach as well as dedicated marketing campaigns, further Sporting Schools integrations for Rugby, an increase...

Isi looked pretty fired up from the whistle. We will miss him, for sure. When he plays well, he is the best #8 in our ranks. Actrualy no, Naisarani has been pretty inconsistent lately. How often has he played this season? I repeat: when he plays well, he is our best #8. When he doesn't play well, h...

Re-acquired mobile net connection somewhere on the road west of Tenterfield after dropping out Fri arvo.

Well done, Force. As a relatively neutral observer, I have to make the observation that Thorn could have picked a stronger team, and no doubt would have if that had been a must win.

wamberal

One thing for sure, the Reds simply cannot play the Feral Pests with only one lineout jumper.
