It's waist and below. Where do you think the waist starts? Hint: it's higher than you think.

There's a bit of a pattern in Rugby circles around change. With most of it being unfounded. Not too long ago people were upset about the introduction of the 50/22. Claiming it was an attempt to make Rugby more like League. Now you'd find few who would argue that it hasn't added to the game. As I ten...

This is not rugby union. Might turn out to be a wonderful, amazing sport. But it ain't ruggers What the fudge are you talking about?

It's a sad tale - but talented kids with poor impulse control have been protected too many times before :(( +1 Starts at a relatively young age as well.

A sad end to a great talent if true. I always got the the impression his mates in the Wallabies put the arms around him to put him on the right path. Looked after him in interviews when he got out of his depth, for example. Never seemed comfortable in that situation. No excuses for him if this is p...

What is alleged isn’t ‘stupid’. He’s not an alleged ‘idiot’. Words like that are a cop out. This allegation is of a criminal act and a sign that the offender is a bad person. A really bad person. This has rocked me. I hope the woman is able to get past this. I expect RA and the Tahs to be ruthless ...

Shiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeet… #Breaking: 10 News First can reveal rugby union and Wallabies star Kurtley Beale has been arrested over an alleged sexual assault.

Yeah, I spent a week there recently hanging around the northern suburbs and it was like being in a conservative version of Williamstown… On the plus side, Mutton doesn’t live there… or rather, a person of his character would be swiftly deported. :thumbup: No shit.

Anyway, that was one of the great innings. Written off by most, biggest test match of the year, brutal conditions, double century then immediately retires hurt because he's f**ked. Awesome stuff. Did he injure himself during his customary self congratulatory leaping celebration? Cramped up.

Working Class Rugger

Fair bit of hyperbole in this mornings press about this Australian Test team. While it’s probably accurate that they’re the best Australian team since the 06-07 changing of the guard, its a question of how much better they are compared to the rest of the world right now. They smoked a hapless Engla...

Playing more series at home skews the percentage up In this cycle of the WTC each team has to play 6 Tests series. Three home and three away. We're currently playing our 5th overall and 3rd at home in that cycle. With the India series bringing both nations up to 6 a piece. Playing at home does skew...

To be fair to MOG, the account of what happened is pretty out there! :lol: Dragons player Junior Amone will spend the night in police custody after being charged over an alleged hammer attack on a tradie near his Warrawong home last month.

If a large European county like Germany or Spain were as good as Georgia at rugby, they'd be straight in to an expanded tournament - their commercial markets would be too attractive to ignore and have top class, close, cities for a weekend away.

Portugal beat the clock against Kenya! 85-0 :shock: Absolutely lethal in space, and will be full of confidence going into the big one with USA. Ugly.

Netherlands upset Portugal in the European U20 championship semi. Huge upset and huge sign of progress in Dutch rugby as Portugal is pretty good at the U20 level.

Why would we work in with Oz on ANYTHING. The backstabbing arseholes are the worst partners imaginable.

It's part of the rebuilding process you have to get the game plan going first before you starting looking at the little mistakes. This is the time now. At least now you can see some shape both in attack and defense. Now it's fine tuning. We've been rebuilding for 15 years now. It seems longer I was...

What do I want? For us to learn from our mistakes. We have lacked the discipline to close out tight games for ages now. There's no way that as professional athletes they wouldn't know that in tight tussles you have keep up your work rate, play smart around pushing things too far and keep calm in th...

We do have consistency. We lack the mental toughness and urgency to grind out the tough situation. Oh, and our discipline is shithouse.Which has been a theme of the Wallabies for years. We're probably the most consistent team going. I mean we did our best to lose last week. It's not our fault Scotl...

I think my fellow Wobs fans should stop for pause. That was the best game they've played in recent memory, against arguably the best side in the world. FFS. What do you want? I'm surprised it was so close. And I'm happy they did so well. Tough loss, but it's better than going down by 20 like I expe...

The SA game in Adelaide he was brilliant.

One game doesn't make a glittering career. It's very much rocks and diamonds with him with it tilted much more toward the rocks side of the equation.

Best winger in the world. Maybe just lacking that top end pace to be the best, but I'd love to see him back at 13 or even 15 for the craic. When has he played 13? He is strong, elusive, fast, great finisher. Anyway, my two fav teams outside ireland playing here. Well done france. Australia need to ...

You think he is the first back to get burried by Penaud?

It's naive to think the pinnacle is always State Of Origin. I just tried watching more Rugby Wheelchair - it's horrible. :thumbdown: From an Australian perspective it definitely is. And that's supported by both interest surrounding it and TV ratings. The last RLWC was held here and didn't come close.

I must admit, this world cup has so far been poorer than I had expected and hoped for. It's clear that the lack of international games during covid has *strongly* favoured teams that have more professional players, who are much more game fit.

RC Five Nations? RSA Japan Aust NZ Argentina Big money in Japan. Apparently that crowd on the weekend was the biggest home crowd outside of the RWC2019 in Japanese history.

SCG was packed last week wasn't it? ;) Was it? I'm an avid Cricket fan but from what I can tell there appears to be little hype outside of the a select few games involving certain teams.

For me it's been great. Most days I get up each morning and either watch a game or a bunch of highlights. Easily the most league I've watched this year. You'd be one of the few.

Even the league diehards in here must admit this tournament has a significant wane after staring to finals. Virtually no coverage here, blowouts aren't helping, most attendances well under 10k.
