    George Smith was a cheat. Referees turned a blind eye to his breakdown cheating. It was a blight on the game.

          And a blight.

          Had a cloak of invisibility ...

          But seriously: George Smith was a legend as he was the only player ever throughout McCaw's career that in any one given year (can't remember which one, fairly early) who I would have picked in a World XV in front of him.

            @antipodean Thanks for the legislation however I think you may misunderstand me. Simply sitting in the drivers seat in a parked vehicle does not give Police the power to breath test.
            The key wording in B is attempting to put vehicle in motion. Being slumped over the wheel of a parked car does not satisfy B. You can’t be trying to put a vehicle in motion if you are asleep or passed out.
            My example given is what Police use to get reasonable grounds to satisfy A.
            For them to breath test they must have had reasonble grounds to suspect he had been driving the car.

            You can be if you're found to have the keys in the ignition. particularly if you're stationary at a set of lights. That satisfies the law.

                Blight indeed.

                In seriousness, Smith was a phenomenal player. Different type of player to McCaw but yet they were both exceptional over the ball.

                @booboo I found a place for George in my World XV, it was when OZ moved him to 8 when they made the mistake to play him and Waugh 😀

                      I think what people are slowly coming around to recognising is that the Brumbies are playing better with a balanced backrow. I wonder if Chieka will take note.

                          @Machpants could kick the worst Aussie team and give Argies another team, that'll water them down!

                            Wallaby World Cup jerseys released.

                            Basically the reverse template of the Boks jersey

                            Looks like they've gone the indigenous design for the away jersey.

                              Wonder how many hours did they spent photoshopping Fellaw out of the original concept image..

                                      @KiwiMurph Nice. Except that horrendous collar.

                                      Prefer the original indigenous one.

                                          I could learn to like this jersey, TBH. It is growing on me even if its got the same shitty collar in reverse.
