    Wallabies could badly use BPA. Would easily walk into Wallabies starting side.

      Got to wonder how they let him leave.

      I think porecki is a good hooker but uelese is not good enough to be second string

            Jake Gordon will not play for Toulon as RWC joker. He suffered a concussion when playing for Australia A against Tonga and recovery is expected to take 4 to 8 weeks, which means he cannot start the preparation for the Top 14 season with Toulon. They'll now look for another player, who is available immediately.

              Yep, but market it aimed at probably not a problem. I have seen on Aussie forums a few rubishing them with prices etc, but hey, you can still but normal Wallabu gear, and admit if I was a Wallaby supporter with a few extra $s , I might look at some of the stuff.

                Alex Hodgman signed by the Reds.

                Nice pickup.

                        yeah...even i am struggling with that, i can get behind spending a fortune on some RM Williams because they last forever even if used all the time...but you're never going to use that to actually play.....so.....

                            @Machpants I don't usually read anything in RugbyPass but thought I'd give it a look.

                            I stopped once they said

                            The game itself is barely recognisable now, even from the first World Cup of the professional era back in 1995

                                I think it's excellent. Now with a single glance we'll know who are the floggiest of flogs in a social setting.

                                        @Machpants I don't usually read anything in RugbyPass but thought I'd give it a look.

                                        I stopped once they said

                                        The game itself is barely recognisable now, even from the first World Cup of the professional era back in 1995

                                        ๐Ÿ™„

                                        Why?

                                        Yes, but even the article references:

                                        On the eve of the final it had been announced that the three traditional powerhouses of southern hemisphere rugby, Australia, New Zealand and RWC 1995 hosts, South Africa had agreed a US$550 million deal with Rupert Murdochโ€™s News Corp.

                                        And despite the shamateur goings-on, it couldn't really be considered the RWC that was professional.

                                          Doesn't invalidate the discussion around the game changing over time, that sort of shit is irrelevant to that.
