    @jegga It beggars belief doesn't it?

    He's such a ridiculous person, it baffles belief that he still gets employed.
    I saw an aussie try and claim we don't like him because of the two poxy islands gibe back in 2003 . Its three poxy islands you dumb fluffybunnies.

    TBF we barely pay attention to the South Island.

        @NTA figured that was in line with Aussie rugby ignoring the South Island, mostly on defence.

          I remember this game well. I actually religiously watched super rugby back then.

          You know your teams done shit if Caleb Ralph gets four meat pies.

            @booboo that's a good move. He's getting by on his reputation as a player, not as a coach.

              Cheika and Bernie can't work together as they have different opinions on what makes a good attack.
              Meanwhile Cheika appears totally fine working with Nathan Grey as defence coach. A guy whose CV highlights include record scores against the teams he coaches.

                Just saw that the Tahds are playing a pre season against the Brumbies in Goulburn. Where can I place some money on a record number of ankle injuries if they are playing at the cow paddock that is the Poidevin Oval.

                            Here are a couple of links to interesting articles about grassroots rugby in Aussie written by Geoff Parkes that are on the The Roar website

                            https://www.theroar.com.au/2019/02/04/the-wrap-whats-the-real-lowdown-with-grassroots-rugby-part-one/

                            Some of their problems are also very similar to what is going on here in NZ

                              I wonder how much money they're paying the homophobe to stay in Australia.

                                Can remember Jeff Wilson saying to me last year,All the Aussies need is 25 decent players to turn up at a World Cup and they will always surprise you ,I think we get a bit caught with all the issues they have over ditch.

                                  Played another game with/ against ex-Wallabies coach Stephen Larkham today. It's ridiculous how much time he appears to have on the field. It's like everyone else is wearing diving boots. Pass is still perfect - although it's probably easier to hit slower moving targets.

                                      Was that an ACT Vets game? Always interesting when you play alongside this calibre of talent and realise the huge gulf between them and you.

                                          I'm not sure what the issue is? RA are fucking broke in simple financial ledger terms (income versus expenditure or whatever). The money needs to come from somewhere.
