According to the newspaper, Phipps was dressed as a cow at the time.

That story made me smile. Love me a good piss up with the boys.

Honestly, this is a good story, lately it has been Hunt with the drugs, Higgers with the cops, Folau.. Etc, very bad PR.

Phipps being dressed as a cow and humiliatimg himself? Better pr.

[Nepia]

I had a mate who used to piss on the bar every weekend, the dipshit. You learned never to go to the bar with him because of backsplash and his aim was generally shit.

Phipps punishment should be a full public apology made to the media... while wearing the cow suit.

Whanger in or out?

@catogrande do you need to ask?

[Bones]

@nta the question that immediately popped to my mind was whether the "h" is silent? I would have been inclined to think it's now a Whanger in Whanganui, when it used to be a Wanger in Wanganui.

It's down to cultural differences I think. Cow suits and pissing is not really a thing up here. Now if you're talking future Prime Ministers sticking their cocks into a dead pig's mouth, well that's different.

New Wallaby Jersey - gone a bit retro.

[mikedogz]

Not bad

[nzzp]

@nta much better than previous iterations

[NTA]

@nzzp More a "gold" colour than the previous yellows.

Still no match for the indigenous jersey, mind.

Well, Folau's back at it again. Wonder if he doesn't want to play for teh wobbles any more... he's certainly poking the bear.

This post is deleted!

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp it's there, sometimes it doesn't show up for a couple of refreshes when I post them

Yeah it is interesting he is certainly pushing his views out there.

[nzzp]

@taniwharugby yep, cheers. Have deleted the second post with two articles in it.

I have no doubt he genuinely believes this, but Raelene must be getting pretty cheesed with it. Meedja rubbing their hands in glee at the headlines they will be getting...

[Nepia]

He's just given the god squad equivalent of "fuck you" to his bosses.

[Virgil]

Given how modern his views are would he not be better off looking for a new contract to play in a county that openly shares similar views?
Like Saudi Arabia or Yemen

And his wife is now sticking the boot into the "wing versus fullback" debate.

And now there's talk he's going to Queensland.

Last one out of the rugby building, turn off the lights. Thanks.

I saw that, it was really weird. Selection fark ups are owned by the coach ... fans can critique, but player partners gets a bit close to home to be constructive.

I bet his team mates love him for this Just like Pocock chaining himself to things
