The spirit of cricket was murdered in cold blood by sunburnt thugs - and the game might never recover

The Tigers dodged a bullet .

A Gus about nothing: Gould promised everything but Bulldogs going backwards under his watch

I think it was Steve Waugh who said if you score 300 runs on the first day you should never lose . He never played for England.

Did Stokes' declaration cost England the First Test? Embrace the chaos and admit you don't know

For columns like this there should be a like button so we don’t have to explain how good it is .

Loved it , as usual

The Liebke First Ashes Test report card: 'It's fun when England don't give up at the first sign of a challenge'

I’m old and full arthritis but I’d back myself for runs on that pitch. This is going to get boring pretty quickly if we are going to have 700 odd innings.

Root ton, reverse-ramps, first-ball mayhem and shock declaration - Aussies endure peak Bazball on thrilling opening day

A bit like hotel rooms and floors , there is no 13 .

I am a Davey fan , I hope he helps himself to a boot full and shuts a few people up.

Confidence or arrogance? Warner declares he'll play nine more Tests then call it quits

Mick the Kick , one of the great stories in world sport. The Drua have done you proud. Could you next turn your talents to QLD.

'To touch his heart': Drua's beautiful tribute to coach Byrne after family tragedy

just watched it on youtube

13-man Junior Wallabies shock New Zealand in stunning win as skipper Teddy Wilson stars

The mandatory rest policy is a joke , fans come to see the best , not the reserves . The AFL and the League would be crucified if the rested 7 odd players from a round and they play many more games than the poor old ra players.

Five things we learned: Brumbies bottle top two hopes, Eddie's must-pick for Wallabies

QLD basically pick themselves , you can fluff around the edges with Ponga and Walsh and Hunt and Grant and a couple of others but they will lose nothing .
NSW however will try and fit a 7 at 6 , a 4 at 5 , a couple of 1s at 3 and 4 and an out of form 1 at 1 .
Latrell should be , on form the fullback , Cambell should be in the centres , Cody or Luai should be at 6 . To’o and Addo-Carr ( real wingers) on the wing. Then pick another real centre and you will start to give Qld problems in the backs.

Origin I predicted teams: Maroons star announces surprise retirement, Blues in a spin over form and injury concerns

If you don’t put your best side on the paddock every week you are consigning yourself to losing habits and teams who are 2nd guess themselves as to who are now their best 23.

The Force, Rebels, and Waratahs have six weeks to break losing habits with the finals still in reach

Right there is the major problem with super rugby , teams and players conceding games they don’t think they can win. It makes a mockery of the whole completion . As bad as , say , West Tigers are , do you for one minute believe that they are going to concede to Penrith . Is conceding the same as throwing , I believe it is , no team in any other premium competition in the world would stand for it .

Rugby News: Alaalatoa's cheeky response to NRL raid plan, 'massive' upside in Tahs surrender

John or Bennett for me.

Hugo Porta or Barry John for our favourite fly-half?

yep , Ned is much better than most here think , he was selected too early in his career and is paying for his early sins.

ANALYSIS: Why pick Richie Arnold, and what does Wallabies call up tell us about how Eddie wants to play?

Gosford

Wet fingers and guesstimations have Reds and Rebels with the most Australian upside

Alyssa should be in India opening for the men , she’d at least tough it out.

Healy hammers Kiwis as Australia open T20 World Cup defence in dominant fashion

Beale should never have played rep rugby again after the phone incident. Shoulda let him go to League .

Rugby News: 'What RA should do next' - Ex-Wallaby's 8-point plan to revive glory days, Reds sign Fiji Test prop

there is a fair bit of good stuff to be said about Bens’ plan , especially bringing back McKenzie

Good article , I reckon Eddie will be brilliant for a couple of years then he’ll get bored and start to do strange things , you know , Eddie the MadAussie.

Before the RWC, we have the highly-anticipated Foster vs Jones showdown to look forward to

Well , someone has to do it , but from what I can see at the moment they ( the roar ) are failing miserably .

'I'm going to flog you': The real Eddie from nine Wallabies who know him - and why he's 'complete package'

So , we should believe some random guest on the factual roar .
