Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Yeah apart from Gordon, Lynagh and Harrison are the ones I'm most about. Continuing on the Who is the No.10 theme: it's not that long until the first international, leaving Harrison little time to show he's back to where he was pre-injury and, in practice, leaving no time for Gordon to improve his ...

Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
Kearns played a character when he was commentating. He was unashamedly biased - but that's not necessarily a bad thing in the colour commeentator. That being said l, I personally hated the bitter negativity he started to spew his last five or so years. Strangely it was Kafer that went off the deep ...

No to Wright. Can't trust him. Put Kellaway there. I used to say the same about Latho, but he came good at around the same age as Wright is. I’m been a long-time critic of Wright but he’s changed this year. He’s on nootropics or something, but he’s possibly been the best, most consistent player in ...
