Comedian, writer and sporting tragic. I once took 6 wickets in an over of indoor cricket but the opposition were drunk so it doesn't count.

Clichés can be your friend. When I played rugby for the Griffith University Redbacks, what feels like a hundred years ago, we’d run through…
Is Australian Rugby going through another annus horribilis? I say another because 2017 was pretty darn bad. Sure, we had a win against the…

Yeah, he was never going to play rugby union.
'By the time the alcohol wore off': Wendell Sailor on breaking deal with Wayne Bennett to join Wallabies
There’s bad blood between Lucas and many players in Australia as he was one of the 3 players (all signed to a parasitic player manager) who left Australia during the initial COVID outbreak. Rodda is back into the fold…can Lucas make it back?
Where have all our flyhalves gone? The lost generation and why Bernard Foley can successfully fill the void
Great article, Nic. I never want to be that guy who rags on a referee but I haven’t seen a ref with so little feel for a game than Adamson had on the weekend. He also seems to pick a side, penalise them ferociously for a bit and then swaps over to the other team. At least he’s consistent. Consistently rubbish.
Coach's corner: Quade traits JOC must replicate, proof ref had a shocker and Cane's brutal reality check
Completely agree. It seems they don’t mind if you hit women as long as you’re good at rugby.
All Blacks team: Mo'unga to start, young prop in line for debut, Frizell named at No.6 over Ioane
Yeah, he should just shove those feelings deep down and play on, right? Just bottle ’em up. There is no difference between this and twisting an ankle in training.
Wallabies blow: Hooper OUT of Argentina series amid 'mindset' battle, Rennie says skipper 'clearly been struggling'
Completely agree. We left 14 points out on the pitch in that first half (Hodge’s brain-fart pass into the stands was one of them).
Did Michael Hooper fall into Eddie Jones’s trap in the third Test?
Can’t believe a guy who is supposedly no good was nominated for World Rugby player of the year last year. You must know something World Rugby don’t unless….unless this fits in with your conspiracy. We’re through the looking glass here people…

“Hodge threw it to where Wright should have been”
So you’re saying Wright should have been in the stands? Possibly one of the worst passes I’ve seen in years.
Rennie’s Rugby Championship challenge: To reach levels his players aren’t sure they have
As an ex-halfback whose main skill was riling up the opposition so I’d get punched and win a penalty, I begrudgingly accepted Hill’s antics. Swain needs to be smarter and I think he’ll learn from this.

Ah yes, there are a few exceptions. 😁

He’s got a few cards in SR though, hasn’t he?
How the Wallabies heaped coals on Eddie’s head in Perth
I challenge anyone here to watch a game of rugby from 30 years ago, from start to finish, and say it was a better product then. There’s lots of nattering from behind rose tinted glasses going on.

Getting really strong “I’ll never call Ayres Rock Uluru vibes” from you.
Rugby News: RA threatens to quit Super Rugby, Skelton 'hurt' by England tour snub, Ella feted as Cook Cup name axed
He’s really holding on the name of the cup which was created all those years ago in *checks notes* 1997, isn’t he?

Skelton is destined to be that player who dominates in club rugby but can’t make the step up to tests

Fawning? He’s being candid and open about his experiences and I hope what he says helps guys coming through the system now.

The worst thing about that is if he hadn’t braced with his forearm, he would have been smashed in the face.

“The Courier Mail in Brisbane do not even publish SR results.”
That’s because they are NewsCorp and are still angry they lost the rights to Stan and Channel 9. If you’ve been following the sport you’d know that NC do not actively promote rugby at all now. Also, stop reading the Courier Mail.
'Playing too well to leave out': The Wallabies selection headache forced by McReight's great leap forward
I have it on good authority that Travis Head is planning to eviscerate an English player with a broken stump and feast on the goo inside in the next test. I mean, that’s the next step from what we witnessed.
The spirit of cricket was murdered in cold blood by sunburnt thugs - and the game might never recover
