Cummins will be captain.
Mmmm when did we have a good captain as a bowler?

Does the name Richie Benaud ring a bell??

IMHO it all depends if you care who wins. If you are not interested in the result most organised sport is boring. League has a big advantage because of the amount of wagering that takes place, nothing like winning or losing money to create interest.

Lol worrying about 1backrow player out injured. We have a whole back first choice row about 5 props 2 second rows including our captaon our cirst choice hooker. And our best centre and winger is injured. Apart from that our players are our of form or just back from injuries. Oz should win easily Ma...

Places like Jamaica, Serbia and the Pacific Islands spring to mind. France now has two pro teams. It's a stretch to say it is contracting. Is it actually played in Jamaica and Serbia? Or is it expats like Lebanon? I think it is. Or was. If you really want to know, League Unlimited is worth a look.

Not much point watching anything but the toss.

England's new props didn't let anyone down. Good effort. We had no tight head props in the 23 except some bloke they picked up at a park game during the week, and we managed to dismantle your scrum on one occasion. I wouldn’t be patting yourself on the back about the scrum work or front row just ye...

Given Arnold and Skelton's reputation in the NH DR would have been remiss not to give them an outing. All things being equal, I believe every RWC squad member should spend a whole season here to prove they are the best we have got. TBF the Sarries work ethic and squad togetherness is probably great...

Parraeels is a good guy, he had a bad run, but is still posting on League Unlimited.

I got on well with Gort, I did not know he went loopy. Sad.

Did anybody catch the quote by the RA claiming one benefit of getting the 2027 RWC would be that "it will attract some talent from league"? Let's get Joseph Suaalii first. As quickly as possible, please.

That was pathetic. Faingaa, Wright and Beale are not test standard. Slipper is becoming a liability. Arnold and Skelton don't add anything. I'd bring Philip and Swain back. We lack descipline and basic rugby skills. Rennie got an F today. Give the team a bit of credit. They have been through hell a...

New Zealand are the best performers at the three versions of the game (so my Keewee neighbour says).

Worthy favourites. Unbeaten. We are honoured just to be on the same ground as them. Call it off now.

wamberal

It's going to be a tough match. Scotland are a much improved team and we struggled against them previous times. I hope our guys won't be complacent. For sure. But wtf is Tupou still on the bench? Must be close to best tighthead in the world. Weird. Tupou and Skelton will cause mayhem in the last 30.

wamberal

Huge pack. Decent looking backline on paper. Good to see Perese in there as well. I'd like to see Latu in there as well. Too much of a risk when it comes to lineout calls etc. Two new locks and a new hooker (albeit with one of the locks on the bench), too much to learn and rehearse, too little time...

I beg to differ. I expect Arnold to start, with Skelton to occupy a bench spot (or two) for all the games.

Firstly, how wonderful that she has been found, apparently safe and well (although who knows what she might have been through).

Secondly, really happy for her parents, they would have come under a degree of suspicion.

Does Scott Morrison know how to do international diplomacy? He seems like a walking train wreck and needs to be kept away from other leaders. What is he thinking leaking private text messages. Way to go ruling the EU out as a potential trade partner dickhead. The Newscorpse tabloids love it. That's...

Very difficult to manage a lockdown in Tonga, I would reckon. Anything to do with worship, church festivals, etc would make it impossible.

What are Kerevi's contractual obligations? Are you suggesting that he should break them, or try to? I am saying he should demand reasonable access to play test rugby for the Wallabies, like countless other contracted players all over the world do for their countries, including Japanese players.

Japanese business culture is an enigmatic thing. When an organisation in Japan makes a decision like this there is most likely more behind it than the obvious. It is pretty standard in most Asian cultures that "yes" does not mean agreement, it means "I comprehend what you are saying". On the other ...

The old adage applies: the piggies decide who wins the game, the fancy boys decide the margin.

Get Arnold and Skelton to take a shift in the row with Rodda to play 80.

It cant be based on a word, how are these players contracted, even if its one game, RA go missing in the HR department again.

Scratches head.

Has it occurred to you that maybe the players who are dropping out are doing so because they perceive it to be in their best interests to do so?

Whether or not it is true this tragedy belongs first and foremost to his family. The media should stay right out of it.

Tupou can cover 10. That's well and good, but would the 10 survive the encounter?

Kerevi yes, but do you really think the Euro 3 will be ready to go with one week in camp with the boys? I read a quote attributed to Rennie somewhere in which he asserted that all the ring-ins are "doing a lot of homework". If we don't get Arnold into the starting XV and Skelton onto the bench, I w...
