Worst refereeing performance since Marius Jonker in the third Lions Test 2025

He is improving. One day he might be good enough to referee first class if he gets enough test experience.

(Interesting he seemed to consult with BOK a lot, moreover than Piardi.)

Could not for the life of me stay awake last night. Succumbed 10mins in (shame we didn't need a wicket). Just watched the replay.

Well done Wobblies. Enjoyed that. Bit of everything. And then a bit more.

Wobs underdone in the first half of series.

Could make an interesting Bledisloe.

I hope I'm wrong but I suspect the Lions will win pretty easily. Lions by 15-25 points.

Might be underestimating the margin

Radar shows a bit of a front coming through... might drop to single figures!

MORE SEQLD SNOW!! Some big flakes are coming down around Amiens (near to the North West of Stanthorpe) and Cottonvale (North of Stanthorpe). Videos sent into HSC by Tori and Jordan.

Been a fantastic day here, but all of a sudden v cold (for QLD) while out on the deck BBQing. Still not a cloud in the sky.

Right, just moves to Perth fellow ferners. I'm on the Freo bandwagon. What are our chances of winning it lol?

I also know bugger all about the game but am making an effort to follow haha.

If it's anything like Adelaide you won't need to make an effort. It's all you'll see and hear. At least you have the Farce.

I understand said sparky did describe his reaction as coming close to soiling his underclothes.

Seems I didn't get around to sharing this Strayan Story.

We don't have sewer where we are so have on site effluent treatment.

Pump high level alarm went off the other day and started making bubbling sounds as the thing was getting over full.

Called out the service peeps. Starts looking into reasons, can't find anything, opens electrical box and ...

Seems to have short circuited both the snakes and the system.

Not sure how the fuck they got into the sealed box.

Pretty sure they are 'just' tree snakes.

Is Tupou the Valetini replacement? Trying to bolster their ball carrying?

Hope his form turns around.

World Athletics tighten eligibility

55/3 acceptable

Not watching (coz can't) but 24 overs in and we have two spinners on...

19 Sam Darry

Good to see

Couple of decent teams there.

Not sure which Vic club should leave, but as an outsider I just feel like GWS and Gold Coast are manufactured and feel artificial.

Others may be able to point out the error of my ways, but I don't feel the ... tribalism (?) ... of those clubs. Just don't get the feels when they're playing.

Happy to be wrong.

I know I have completely fucked the Crows' chances now ...

@sparky said in All Blacks 2025:

My guess on a possible 23 to play Argentina.

De Groot, Taylor, Newell, S. Barrett, Holland, Vaii, Savea, Sititi, Roigard, B. Barrett, Ioane, J Barrett, Proctor, Reece, Jordan

Bench: Taukei'aho, Norris, Williams (can play both sides), Tuipolutu or Finau, Kirifi, Ratima, McKenzie, Tupaea.

Be happy with that generally, but no need to fuck with THP. Williams is the best LHP going and Tosi is more than good enough at reserve THP (where's Red Beard ...).

Ok so I'm getting ahead of myself but I'm reminded of this (yeah we've lost a GF in living memory, and looked good only to lose prelims ... but this is funny ...):
