Reds, Sharks, Wallabies, Cricket, Lions, Maroons. A smattering of NFL. Maybe a touch of NBA. It’s all good.

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

Ah yes, Eddie the Merciful.

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

Len will be a mainstay for the next 7 years. Just a shame he wasn’t afforded the same luxury as others. Jesus I’m sick of Eddie. Like a rash that just won’t go away.

Just listened to that this arvo.

No, but it is gravy day.

'Milked the game and contracts dry': 100-cap Wallaby announces shock return to rugby at the age of 41

Each spin is your choice. He’s the GOAT for mine. Merry Xmas Sheek.

Nice, Garry! Lyon joins legends with 500th Test wicket as Aussies rout Pakistan for massive win

Good luck, Brave Blossoms.

'I feel terrible, but...: Defiant Eddie Jones unveiled as Japan coach, JRFU reveals their version of THAT Zoom call

Yeah. I love Japan and Japanese rugby so I wish them the best. Will be in Osaka soon enough to watch some Top League. Kanpai.

Fiasco complete: Eddie Jones officially CONFIRMED as Japan coach

Very nice mate. Looking forward to seeing a few of my favourites in your QLD line up.

Australia’s best domestic 50-over players – Western Australia

Good appointment. Relieved to see we’ve hired someone with extensive experience in high-performance management rather than an ex-player looking to start out ie: James Horwill and Justin Harrison. Now for the coach.

RA set to sign World Rugby's HP director - and he could help land Joe Schmidt as Wallabies coach

Thanks for all the enjoyable content mate and enjoy the break. I certainly know how you feel, I think we’re all a little Eddie’d out. I’m looking forward to some cricket and a big rest from rugby.

The joy of Rugby World Cup celebrations only ruined by Eddie Jones’ final act

Thanks, Geoff. Congrats to the Springboks and commiserations All Blacks. South Africa did it the hard way having to take on Scotland, Ireland, France, England and New Zealand. And to win all their knockouts by one point just goes to show how important experience and goal kicking is in this tournament. Shame Eddie didn’t see it that way.

The World Cup Wrap: France 2023 got a final befitting the host nation - imperfect, baffling and historic

This is it, Don. Playing the Australian way should be about winning. I don’t care if we win 21-20 through nothing but penalty kicks. The public just needs to see us winning.

McLennan’s position is now untenable, if it wasn’t already. This entire saga has been such a disgrace by the administration that it’s making the West Tigers look good.

Eddie Jones quits as Wallabies coach - 'Sometimes you have to eat s--t for others to eat caviar'

Not sure why but I always picture this song between the Boks and All Blacks. Never a winner. Just a lovely song.

'There's never a winner, just the next battle': The intense 102-year old rivalry that 'neutrals can't quite comprehend'

I hope I say this right: wens jou geluk man

'There's never a winner, just the next battle': The intense 102-year old rivalry that 'neutrals can't quite comprehend'

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery–isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

'Mowing lawns': Fozzie reveals next job and future plans, explains 'toughest' selection call of career for RWC final

I think it’s been disappointing the way some fans have treated Foster. Win and it’s full credit to the assistants. Lose and it’s all his fault. You can’t have it both ways. At the end of the day, he’s helped take the All Blacks to the World Cup final. That should be applauded, win or lose.

Good luck to both teams, I’ll be rooting for our brothers in black but just hope we’re treated to a terrific contest.

“Fortunately, Griffin has now been returned to Fox Sports”

And what a boon for us fans. Those captivating yet dulcet tones of his commentary are a blessing on the ear holes.

Can Flanno prescribe a miracle cure to revive the Dragons in 2024, or will it just be another year on life support?

Thanks, Geoff. Didn’t catch the Semi’s, and even though I had the alarms set, I opted for sleep instead. Was a different story for the Quarter Finals when I had to babysit my niece and nephew (2 & 1) who are up at 4am every morning. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’ve found it incredibly hard to get into this World Cup. The disappointment of the Wallabies and the circus around Eddie left a very bad taste in my mouth, and some of the harsh start times over here mean I struggle to find any motivation to watch the other games.

Anyway, enough complaining, pouting and acting like a sad sack of manure, I won’t be missing this final. With zero skin in the game and nothing but appreciation for both sides, I think it’ll be a very enjoyable watch. Fingers crossed we get a classic, but these two rarely give anything but.

The Wrap: There's a reason Boks and All Blacks are at the big boys' table - the rest have to earn their way onto it

Good stuff mate. Tough to leave out guys like the Puletua brothers and Radradra, even my favourite Nigel Vagana.

Who makes the cut for greatest combined Pacific Island team of all time?

“What RA should instead do is come clean with their reviews”

This. We demand it.

The Wallabies' World Cup campaign was a disaster from start to finish - but sacking Eddie Jones isn't the answer

This is the first time in 22 years of supporting Australian rugby that I’ve officially resigned myself to giving up. Until something happens by the board that outlines a clear and beneficial plan to the betterment of the game in our country, I’m done. I’ll continue to support my club and help out where needed, but I have no love or faith in RA after what I’ve seen dished up this year. Show us a way forward. For once, show us a future we can get behind. I’ll never stop supporting the lads and ladies, but I cannot abide this current structure. I don’t know the way forward, but someone needs to do something. Change it. I’ve already lost my friends and family as supporters. This site is all I have left. We cannot lose the future.
