Damn I was waiting for the qualifying sprint race. Qualifying seems a little boring without it.

Why the Heck is Russia called ROC? Is it now not PC to say the word Russia? Russia's state sponsored doping and refusal to comply means they are banned. But as some Russian athletes can prove they aren't drugged up, or rather haven't pissed fire for the testers and not proved or fingered to be invo...

Has Quade learned to tackle yet?... nah

Lions box kicking is the difference.

Lions have really muscled up this half.

Actually probably the right call. Other angle looks legit.

Gatz gamesmanship has played mind games with the TMO.

Isn't it just. The blame game started before half time.

Gotta love Pollard, always head up looking, scanning for options, never committed to any one play, able to adapt to the situation.

Cracking test. Absorbing. Etsebeth has been a man mountain... manhandling Lions like kittens.

I find it interesting that the debate which should have focused on Jelonch's acting poofball style has turned into a debate on red cards. There are some interesting arguments being made, but why changing yet again a rugby law because the Wallabies had a player wrongfully red carded during one game?...

Real test this one.

What is happening in Australia right now is mental and you lot are just sitting here talking shit, swallowing the BS and enabling the tyranny. The footage of the police just beating old ladies and all sorts. Society doesn't just clam down, go back under house arrest and in time let it pass. The tru...

Good read naki and interesting. China shares many similarities with Russia, in that they blame foreigners for everything and that they too seem happy to be bossed around. They need to be told what to think. I worry as in Russia's case, Xi like Putin will need some war or militaristic adventures when...

“Subsequently, through the impact, any contact to the chest and neck was incidental by Koroibete. Therefore, World Rugby’s Head Contact Process was not met due to mitigating factors, and the act of the foul play was secondary.” Agree with what Dog_Smiley or poopscoop said, it's over and done with, ...

My bad Tojo, I didn't realise you were a plastic kiwi.

:lol: Wow, overcompensation much? You must be a real hard man hahaha, surely you could've got a few more sexist macho cliches in there.. something about a girls blouse haha. The post is about the decision process for a card, the speed which which you enter contact is a factor. Put your head out of ...

The Optimist

A player bending and bracing for impact is standard it rugby, the mitigation is for a sudden or significant drop, usually from a player falling from a trip, or another tackle. And again, when you fly in at speed, you lose the right to this anyway, because it's reckless given you could never adjust....

So what you are trying to say...(in a round about way) is Straya is better than Ire-land. Stating the obvious.That's why we are called the 'Lucky Country' and you are call Ire-land.

Ok... Rennie missed a trick not changing the line up for the 2nd test. We would have a better idea of where players are at, Kaiutuu, Neville etc. Thought the 3rd test side played the best of the lot. Front row. - BPA played his best test. Still would like to see Kaiutuu given a go. Ulesee in the mix...

Hamilton knew he had to do something or he would be watching Max sail off into the sunset, as he did in sprint qualifying and the 3 grand prix before. Had room on his inside. Verdict - Hamilton is a cock Penance - To live in England for the rest of his natural life. On the other hand, glad Anony1 go...

Tupou is the best player from both teams.
If I had the choice of Richie Mo'unga or Taniela Tupou, I'm picking RM every day of the week.

Mo'unga by some distance.

Just saw it for the first time. Certainly not a red. And seeing he got the red, the Froggie should have got a yellow for diving. Grabbing at his face which was never touched.

Yep. Thoroughly enjoyable.
