    Meanwhile NSW meekly hands over the West to AFL, league and soccer.

    meekly? From what i read it's more "happily"

    No no, they're extremely concerned about Western Sydney.

    After all, if rugby west of the A3 disappears, and league takes all the juniors, where the fuck are Eastern Suburbs clubs going to plunder talent?

    Across the board, it is just poo.

    On a personal note: Renegades were threatening in all 3 Grades - first time we would have appeared in finals for 7 years.

    Now looking at options to use our ground once lockdown lifts to generate a bit of cash to ramp up for next year. Decent lights, pristine surface. Should be able to get a few teams over for an evening 7s tournament for mens or womens.

    @mariner4life I genuinely don't understand people that don't want him in the Wallabies. It's the surest way for Australians to demonstrate to me they know fuck all about the game or are partisan clowns.

    all effort, all the time, doing the shit jobs no one else in his team is willing to do. Takes a fucking beating every single game and yet never stops. You would love to play with that guy.

    Just run his hip until the inevitable break, and simultaneously hope the opposition fullback can tackle, you can catch the offload, and fall over the line.

    Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has made another SOS call by bringing Sean McMahon back into the national set-up nearly four years after his last Test.
    
    A Wallabies spokesperson said McMahon would join the squad on Tuesday after Sunday’s match against the Springboks.

    McMahon to join Wallabies squad next week

    The 26-Test back-rower will join the squad in Queensland nearly four years after his last appearance for the team.

    The unsurprising realisation that we have let our development systems die during the last 2 decades.

    @antipodean well for him it was on the cards:

    'I wouldn't write it off': Ex-Wallabies star Sean McMahon reveals plans for World Cup, Super Rugby and Olympics

    'I wouldn't write it off': Ex-Wallabies star Sean McMahon reveals plans for World Cup, Super Rugby and Olympics

    It has been little more than three years since Sean McMahon left Australia to pursue a career in Japan, but the former Wallaby has plenty left in store.

    I am pleased for Thorn and for Queensland. He has an exceptional rugby pedigree and his efforts in coaching young men reveal the same determination, focus and strength he displayed on the field. He offers his time readily to club and junior rugby activities - clinics, addresses, presentations and such, yet amusingly the knowledgeable young rugby fans have the certain understanding that he is barely literate.

    Your Quadie's momentary re-emergence as one of the Harmless Wallabies most hilarious comedy acts has revived the angry kiddie fans hatred for Brad Thorn - because Thorn dis-a-spekted the li'l fella and made every other coach also refuse to employ his silky bunny hop and pass-to-Row F skills.

    Oh, and Brad has personally blocked his bid for Australian residency or citizenship or something. 😉

    Macqueen started in 1997 after Bledisloe, and gave it up in 2001 after Lions, before Bledisloe.
    1998: 3-0
    1999: 1-1
    2000: 1-1
    A 5-2 win ratio against the ABs is almost unimaginable.

    Rennie:
    2020: 1-2 (1 draw)
    2021: 0-3
    Rennie with the 1-5 reversal. Last year could so easily have been 2-2 bar Hodge's kick.
