Unfortunately Folau’s hate speech is only getting worse. Goes to show RA got rid of him at just the right time.

David Pocock bemused by Israel Folau's captaincy claim

Cheika’s frustration when addressing the media was unfortunately almost Trump-like. You couldnt doubt his passion for the game or his players.

Rugby Australia have questions to answer

Those damn always offside c$€@ting All Blacks, predictable with numerous weaknesses in their obviously inexperienced squad. A dour tryless victory to Ireland! Nek minit….

Five talking points from New Zealand versus Ireland

Found one…..another All Black team!

Was Sexton playing?

No luck for the Irish: All Blacks into semis with 46-14 win

Doesn’t take away from what I said Tom G, a contrast of styles. Ireland, Wales and now Scotland have been exposed by a team with a Super Rugby swagger and sway. Do you think Japan would have won any of those games with a Northern hemisphere coach?

Japan into RWC quarter-finals after beating Scotland 28-21

Wallabies have the right tactics and players to win this weekend, Japan showed that our Southern hemisphere style of play is world class. Good luck boys!

Just their best performance of 2019: the Wallabies' simple quarter-final assignment

A contrast of two styles. Northern hemisphere smash and grind against the Southern hemisphere running game. What an incredible game!

Wow, what a BEAST of a game! Japan well deserved winners

Both games would have been an excellent watch. Oh well, bring on the finals!

CONFIRMED: All Blacks vs Italy, England vs France both cancelled due to Super Typhoon Hagibis

Folau is no loss. His comments about Gays going to hell was wrong. It’s a disgrace in todays society.

UPDATE: Rugby Australia issues statement on Israel Folau article

The article is average. He should be sacked by AR.

Yes but making his opinion known that a fathers son or daughter who is gay is destined to go to hell by god is wrong. Is this a role model our children should follow? I say NO.

UPDATE: Rugby Australia issues statement on Israel Folau article

Folau’s opinion of gays going to hell is a disgrace. The gay community need to know that such rhetoric is unacceptable to them and their families.

UPDATE: Rugby Australia issues statement on Israel Folau article

Folau’s hate speech about Gay’s going to hell is despicable. He should be ashamed of his comments. He is not.

Game on! Let’s go the mighty All Blacks!

All Blacks down by 1 man! Surely adv BILs?

The BILs have been magnificent.

Both players and management have been engaging and respectful to both public and player. They are a credit to BILs tours before them and an example to those tours yet to come.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the rugby thus far (even though they beat my beloved Chiefs!) and look forward to the rest of the tour.

The High Five: All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions First Test

Thought that too TM but that’s a lot of inexperience to place in the backline in a series decider don’t you think? Adding J. Barrett to the mix as cover for perhaps Fb or center could be a problem especially with a Lion’s side boasting proven internationals. Perhaps adding Moala to the squad?

The High Five: All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions First Test

Yes, the BIL is the second best team in the world atm. They would towel up Aust, SA, England and Ireland.
Considering the ABs went into last night’s game cold and the BIL had solid games under their belt the All Blacks are only going to get better.

The High Five: All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions First Test

I remember seeing an article where W. Garland said the All Blacks play like a Super Rugby side and S. Hansen rubbished such comparisons.
They prefer to play a high tempo game just like S15 but are quite adept at grinding out a win through attrition. The All Blacks are a multi-dimensional side with many ways to skin a possum.

Dominated and destroyed: Is there any hope for the British Lions?

Who would be the center backup if SBW or ALB were injured and would you be asking both to play a 80+ minute game in the series decider?

The High Five: All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions First Test

The 80 metre plus try to the Lions was utterly superb. Accurate passing, sublime running lines with a dynamic finish. As an AB supporter I could watch that play over and over again. Superb!

Dominated and destroyed: Is there any hope for the British Lions?

Agreed Mike, set a fire under Savea and watch him explode! There’s no way he would want to be left out of this once in a generation Lions series.

Highlights: Lions tamed! All Blacks take first blood in Test series

Morning Taylorman, the work of Sam Cane at the breakdown and Kieran Read in the lineout was immense, Jerome Kaino was a wrecking ball in defense too.
Brodie and Sam complement each other’s game in the forwards much like how Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith complemented each other in the backline.
Glad to see the an international side can still set your heart aflutter!!!
