NSW determined to send the SOO Trophy north of the Tweed

'Burning passion for the state': NSW lock in Daley as Madge's Origin successor, Bellamy named in new role

Vaughan’s still trying to figure out why St George relocated to England & changed their colours to blue / yellow. He aint the sharpest tool in the shed

'He cannot believe it': Vaughan sensationally SENT OFF for questionable high shot tackle

AB’s had besyt hope Silverlake doesn’t go woke – be a shame seeing the AB’s wearing rainbow socks

All Blacks' political protest in haka was wrong call - it has divided the nation, and game must be the priority

no AB coach has defeated the Bomb Squad yeah?

Razor's record is the worst of the past five All Blacks coaches after 14 Tests - but key figures insist they're on track

Ol’ mate Anthems is a good choice as coach – he had plenty of practice watching games from the sidelines as a player, would carry over well into coaching

Exclusive: Whitaker edges out former colleague to take on Junior Wallabies head coaching role

who didn’t love the early wrestlemania even if you weren’t a wrestling fan. the Hulkster vs Iron Sheik where he escapes the camel clutch that would cripple ordinary men to then go on to become the world werstling federation champeen! always good for a laugh and even better for drinking games – we’d pick certain technques where you’d skoll your beer when they were done. Have worked with a lot of Kiwis and some (not all, most are good) are bad losers, & worse winners. i find many commentators to be poor these days, so i bung Pink Floyd on the stereo & crank up the volume while watching. Some former players should never be allowed anywhere near a microphone for an interview let along being a commentator. all good mate, good to have a b1tch from time to time to let it all out. still stoked the AB’s didn’t win RWC23!

'Disappointed': France end All Blacks' winning streak in epic Test, Savea rues bombed chances as ref called out

would a 20 year old even know who Hulk Hogan is?

oh you are wrong on every count, while I have no doubt that my assumption was correct

am waiting to see the 1st Indian All Black with a bindi on his forhead, or maybe a turban – would World Rugby recognse it as a scrum cap?

well wokeness has hit the NZ commentators. Wasn’t too many years ago whenever the AB’s lost you would never hear 1 word of praise for the opposition, how they outplayed them or whatever, all you’d hear was “what went wrong? what didn’t we execute properly” etc, I’d argue their less than perfect record in recent years has been due to the use of the TMO, now they must play by the same rules as everyone else & get pinged for calls they got away with in the past. and on a positive note – am glad to hear I’m not your mate. good that is 1 thing we can agree on

'Disappointed': France end All Blacks' winning streak in epic Test, Savea rues bombed chances as ref called out

I’m not a Kiwi mate & enjoy it every time they lose, just to listen to the fans

'Disappointed': France end All Blacks' winning streak in epic Test, Savea rues bombed chances as ref called out

yep. looks like he does a bit of a 2 step shimmy where he stumbles & drops. you could argue almost every tackle could be head high as players charge head first at lower body height. got to wonder if aggressive tacklers are targeted or viewed differently in cases like this

'TMO's got no idea': 'Distraught' Wallaby's send off slammed as Suaalii set to start against Scotland after lucky escape

Fester – well if he also complains about sex then one has to wonder – maybe he’s not doing it right. He does know you’re meant to do it with a partner yeah? Preferably of the female persuasion if you’re a red blooded bloke. of course if a bit of twink actions prefered that’s cool too – not that there’s anything wrong with that

'Disappointed': France end All Blacks' winning streak in epic Test, Savea rues bombed chances as ref called out

some would say that commentators commentate for their viewing audience which in Wilsons case would be those back home. Which then makes you wonder why would they keep spouting superlatives every time an AB catches a ball passed onto their chest when everyone across the ditch knows how choice they are and that the AB’s are the bist

yeah, 6Ntn – Italy are in that awkward position – too good for the tier below, not quite good enough / consistent enough for the tier above. Ireland have been having a good run over the past few years, Scots & Welsh – never know who will turn up, bit like the Frogs & the Poms can have a few barry crockers where based on playing numbers they should be winning the 6Ntn more often. Wallabies on a bit of a hiding to nothing & wouldn’t do a coaches win % much good when you play NZ & SAf so often, the 2 most dominant nations & the Argies are consistent & can give some upsets

Wallabies smash Wales to keep Grand Slam dream alive despite red card to big name centre

they’ll probably blame favortism cuz Brett Robinson’s the world rugby chairman. if he has any say in the rules hopefully the 1st thing he does is ban that bl00dy caterpiller the NH teams seem to love so much

Wallabies smash Wales to keep Grand Slam dream alive despite red card to big name centre

last i saw it’s the TMO who mkes the call on yellow to red fouls. Just as Wayne Barnes wasn’t responsible for the decision to upgrade Sam Canes in the RWC final. Doesn’t stop him being the one who cops the flack by keyboard warriors tho’

Wallabies smash Wales to keep Grand Slam dream alive despite red card to big name centre

Sam Cane was virtually upright in the RWC if I’m not mistaken, or bent @ the knees & drove up yeah?

'TMO's got no idea': 'Distraught' Wallaby's send off slammed as Suaalii set to start against Scotland after lucky escape

mate I’m looking at a paused video before contact – the welsh players left thigh is almost horizontal, his right knees approx 6-8 inches off the ground, his head is below the shoulder height of a welsh player next to him & its around the sponsors logo height which is lower sternum. Kerevis legs are bent & his body is almost 90 degrees & the top of his head hits the bloke in the jaw. How much lower do you want him to try to be? maybe he should lay on the ground next time yeah?

'TMO's got no idea': 'Distraught' Wallaby's send off slammed as Suaalii set to start against Scotland after lucky escape

& good she’s a 20 min red card, otherwise the Wallabies would have been down a bloke for the rest of the game

'TMO's got no idea': 'Distraught' Wallaby's send off slammed as Suaalii set to start against Scotland after lucky escape

in the video the welsh players head height is approx at the same height as the welsh sponsors logo on the player to his left, & that logo is lower sternum height – before the hit. the players head is below the shoulders of the welsh player on his left – & Kerevis almost bent 90 degrees

'TMO's got no idea': 'Distraught' Wallaby's send off slammed as Suaalii set to start against Scotland after lucky escape

looking on the youtyoob highlights video – the welsh players right knee is approx 6 inches off the ground & his left thigh is just off horizontal before the hit. To me that means his melons now pretty low to the ground compared to if he was upright. & Kerevi’s bent at the waist @ almost 90 degrees & the top of his melons hit him in the jaw. Don’t know how much lower the refs want them to get when it happens in a second or 2

not if it’s dwarf on dwarf. Sorry – vertically challenged on vertically challenged

“the ball carrier was upright in the tackle” – but his knees were almost on the ground
