Old man kangaroo no longer living in the wilds of New York, but returned home in 2020 to find pastures burned and a virulent pox upon the land. Captained the school 14D rugby team in the last century and moved himself from 2nd row to the safety of the centres.

AtW – maybe “didn’t put the Carter before the Force” ??? Nah, maybe that’s a bit try-hard.
Beale, Rodda shine on Super Rugby return as Force smash Crusaders to keep finals hopes alive
One swallow . . . etc. But I am a Beale fan.

Here’s a serious question about the clock. If his attempt at kicking the conversion is timed out, does the clock stop at that point? It sounds logical to me but I don’t know.
'Last few years have been hell': Iceman 2.0 Harrison gets 'dream come true' in Tahs' stunning golden point win
Derek, in his first year with the Tahs, Harrison had a run of something like 23 consecutive (penalties/conversions) without a miss. So yes his kicking has always been that good.

I think you’ve done it again, Muglair. As I recall the Tahs have a bye next week. So you’ve got two certain tips for the next two weeks.

Brisbane rugby fan convicted for 'vile and toxic' online abuse of TMO during RWC, as WR goes troll hunting
No Charlie, that’s not politics – what you did was compare this person to a person who has been shown to publicly tell lies and make false claims on multiple occasions – regardless of his political beliefs.

I wonder what Jetka said in the version he deleted before posting this.
Exclusive: Herbert claims 'steady progress' in rebuilding trust as RA seeks to avert more board bloodshed at AGM
It’s amazing that we have got to over 100 posts on a Rebels game and the name “Tupou” has only appeared once; and that as a passing reference to him not being on the field.
'Insane and total stupidity': Drua have two SENT OFF as Rebels score 33 unanswered points to win again
“They usually take a decade or more to get results.” A lesson the Tahs’ current administration is yet to learn apparently.

I know Dave. I’m a cockeyed optimist.
'What the hell's going on': Ex-Wallabies question 'losing' culture, pathways at Waratahs
I wonder what Larkham looked like at 15.

I’d be satisfied with a middle of the table position for the Tahs right now. It would give me some hope/confidence that they could finish in the top 4. Although, unlike so many fair weather fans, I’m still supporting them and looking for a better rest-of-the-season.

Old School, I may be wrong but as I remember it the phrase used was “Test level intensity.” Not necessarily Test level skill.
How Schmidt landed All Blacks icon at Wallabies - and why '80 per cent of coaching is selection'
Cinque,
Okay for now but not a good look long term.
“A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.”

'It can be something great': Schmidt turns to 'scrum doctor' as next step in Wallabies rebuild
El Flash, do you really think that the turn around can be achieved by early July (Wales) or early September (NZ)?

How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Just one. But the light bulb needs to want to change.

I must say Ben, that I don’t always agree with what you say in your articles. But this one is a cracker. And I wholeheartedly agree with what you say. And I’ve experienced this in my Tennis career. I am now old and have been playing Tournament tennis for many many years. I have double faulted on match point for and against me. And it hurts like hell. But there’s always gonna be another chance tomorrow or the day after. The one difference is, I don’t think Tane Edmed is still going to have the chance of kicking goals when he’s in his 70s.
To have your heart broken and come back: That's what it's all about - and why I'll be watching Edmed this weekend
Ben, it’s unlikely to happen now because of moving to other teams, but a season or so ago I was hoping for a game where we had, all on the field at the same time – 2 Harry Wilsons, a Will Harrison, a Will Harris, and a Teddy Wilson.
Five things we learned: The general who caught Schmidt's eye, why next week is vital for Coleman's Tahs
K.F.T.D. – So I gather you don’t consider that the Waratahs might just have taken a step up. It sounds like you think it “augurs well” that “ we have brought the Kiwis down to our tier 2 level.”

All signs point to a Reds resurgence - if players can truly embrace the strengths of Les Kiss
Dunno about the thinking behind that, Haydn. I’d think that the Stan advertisers would assume that anybody reading the rugby site on the Roar would not need to be told when rugby was being played. They would be looking to expand their reach. Of course Stan may well be wrong.
'It's pretty real': Rebels coach reveals trauma as Waugh makes surprising 'no correlation' claim after job losses
Mike, I can see a lot of merit in your point about having to force your way back into the Wallabies. But I think there are probably about 30 from last year thinking the same thing. Hopefully everybody is on edge wondering what Schmidt’s selections are going to be. You would have to believe that he will start from scratch.

Reds Harry – apropos “I am not optimistic Australian rugby will be much better in 2024.”
I am hoping Oz Rugby performs in 2024 the way the economy of the USA has in 2023. At the start of the year, every expert was predicting a recession for the US economy. And now it seems that economy is booming.
Put it in the category of “It could happen.”
Broken promises, sacrificial lambs and a monumental low blow - goodbye, good riddance to 2023 for Wallabies fans
Andrew, I had a boss years ago who talked about “forward planning ahead.” A double tautology.
