The inevitable musical shame for the Rugby World Cup final
It's been happening throughout the World Cup, and it will happen at the final. It's stupid, it's frustrating, and it's a damned shame. No,…

cs is a former No. 8 who remembers playing in a forward pack as the most (legal) fun he's ever had. These days he spends a fair share of his professional time crunching very hard numbers.

Statistics can conceal more than they reveal, as illustrated by SANZAR's tackle ratios in the case of Kurtley Beale. Beale's ratio gained currency in…
Fair comment Nick.
Personally, I’ve always liked the guy and respected him as a coach, as do players generally as far as I can tell. In particular, I totally discount criticism due to his passionate propensities: just nonsense in my book.
I note that he later said he should have gone when Scott Johnson was appointed over him, which sounds like a wise reflection.
Anyway, here’s one fan that would welcome him back.
'Too much respect for Joe': Kiss commits to Queensland as Wallabies coaching circus continues
My guess is that Joe has advised RA of his departure and the announcement will be made in conjunction with naming the next coach. The latter decision would explain the delay. Personally, I hope it’s Cheika.

Australian born, but where? More background please. Another ex-NSW?

I’m keen to see him without Foketi, instead of Foketi.

You’re off your rocker kpm, as usual. My guess is that you’ve started another nonsense argument because it’s raining and you’ve got nothing else to do. Get a good book.

Oh, and I hope we’ve got rid of the Brown Point. Bring back the draw!
'Head down, bum up': McKellar distances himself from Wallabies, lays down the law at Tahs
The key, I think, is not to edit, which wipes the breaks. If you do edit, you need to do something like put a full-stop between lines. Hope that helps.

Guess the Tahs won’t be sleeping at the ground or bulking up this time round.
Still, I liked the last coach and reckon the team was unlucky to finish at the bottom, due to some very close losses and a catastrophic injury toll in the front row toward the season’s end.
Dan’s a mystery to me but here’s hoping. Go the Mighty Tahs! 🏉

It’s gone through the wall. Funnier than Roy and HG’s pisstake.

I also like Andrew M. Richie of course was an ideal model.
Yet we don’t know how good we’ve got it, until you listen to rubba leeg. Actually, in a perverse kinda way, I prefer the commentary to the rest of it. You can listen to it with the picture turned off, just for laughs, in a certain kind of mood.

Doesn’t matter who you have commentating, some people will complain.
I reckon the present gang does OK, but I’d go for Gordon Bray, Kearnsey and Rod Kafer, and that”s three arguments right there.
The only consensus round these parts is that Sonny Bill is hopeless, but he’s obviously there to appeal to Kiwis and rubber leeg fans.
Commentator preferences are permanently vexed.

Has long been the case Lorry. It’s one of the things I’ll fix on my first day as prime minister.

Already set, in the real world.
'Grateful' Beale signs fresh deal with Force as Wallabies veteran makes late bid to take on Lions
Continuing with Stan and more revenue. So far, sounds good to me. Go RA!

Old sheets are often wrinkled and tend to bunch. New sheets are flatter.

Effectively it was Big Will and the B team.

I hope so.

Plus he has been praised in coaching despatches for his capacity to boost team training throughout his career.

The shallow end rather than the flipside. There’s more to assessing form than whether a player happen to be on the field when a team scores a try.

Congrats Force. Good luck Kurtley.
A possible to lead the indigenous team against the Lions?
