Crusaders vs Bulls 2012. A Crusaders try was disallowed after the touch judge had adjudged that Carter had interfered with a chasing defender.

I’m not saying it was the correct call but I am saying that it has happened before.

Highlights: All Blacks run away with world-record 18th win

If the game ended up being close then you’d have an argument. You lost by 27 points.

Owens made the Wallabies concede 6 tries…

Pull your head out, mate.

It was a scrum, Phipps gains nothing by getting to the ball first.

If it was a penalty then it might be understandable. It wasn’t.

Wallaby Phipps shoves Pumas medic in win

This isn’t complex, you are over thinking this. The Racing doctor prescribed the drug to the players and administered it to them accordingly. The FFR say they have that paperwork. Their investigation is whether or not the amount administered to the athletes corresponds to the injury in question and to what is written in the paperwork.

A TUE is not required if the doctor believes the drug is necessary medically and if the drug is administered via a syringe through the skin directly to the problem area. All of that is consistent to what the AFLD and Racing has said.

This is isn’t an anabolic steroid, it isn’t even performance enhancing. It is used to reduce inflammation. The drug is used readily by many professional athletes in most sports and is perfectly legal to do so under specific circumstances.

This is very irresponsible reporting by L’Equipe. They’ve found that the headline ‘Dan Carter tests positive to steroids’ too appetising to pass up; to hell with the reputations at stake.

Carter hasn't broken doping rules: Racing

The drug is allowed in professional sport on medical grounds. The players had medical grounds. There is no story.

If Folau played for the All Blacks then he’d be a better player. Better coaching, better support better structures.

SPIRO: Oh dear, Wallabies lose to back-to-the-future Springboks

I can’t remember the last time a rugby coach threw such a tantrum. How about you take some responsibility for having one of the best backlines in the competition and doing sweet FA with it.

Brumbies bitter over end to Super campaign

Oh no, Brumbies. You’ve been given the ‘Brave’ treatment.

Brave Brumbies knocked out by Highlanders, Australian teams fall out of Finals

Stephen needs to fire his attack coach…

Larkham frustrated by officiating with a 'clear try' denied by referee and TMO

What part of ‘cannot see the grounding’ or ‘grounding is inconclusive’ do you not understand?

Not mine, NZ still won.

Welcome to the internet.

Fijian rugby deserves more respect over Hayne

You say that the 2001 Lions was the better team while the 2005 was over the hill. That’s the exact opposite to what logic would tell you. That 2001 Australian team was full of world cup winners and arguably the greatest generation of players that Australia ever produced.

The 2005 Lions team, regardless of how the ended up playing, was also littered full of world cup winners and was headed by a world cup winning coach. Stating that the 2001 series loss was completely attributed to Henry while also stating that the 2005 series win had nothing to do with Henry is stretching the truth beyond recognition to fit your narrative.

Very few Welsh coaches have had much success with Wales. Only the Welsh coaches of the 70’s would argue that their tenure was successful.

One game. He lost one game, an important game none the less, but still just the one game. Other coaches have losing streaks that stretch into 5+ runs. Henry gets universally derided for the result of one poor game. A blotch on an otherwise impressive resume.

Any other modern day coach would kill to have his CV. Not even Jake White, Clive Woodward or Rod McQueen boast a more impressive coaching CVs.

Eddie Jones is stupid to trash rugby's best club tournament

The Brumbies didn’t have to travel to Argentina.

I’d rather have the old NZ Pink Batts ref outfit over these horrid 90’s Fluoros.

Not really.

Looking at the British and Irish Lions team for 2017

1. Richie
2. Lomu
3. Carter

Richie McCaw retires from rugby

The teams left don’t need a blue print. They’ve all beaten Australia in the past 2 years.

Wallabies break Scottish hearts with last-minute win at Twickenham

A Scot knocked it then Phipps knocked it back, then a Scot knocked it into his own player. Advantage over, scrum to Gold, not a penalty.

“Yep, he is to this team what McCaw is to the abs.”

*Correction – What McCaw ‘was’ to the ABs. He is no longer the difference between winning and losing for them.

That’s BS. Scotland should have had a scum from Phipps knock on and that yellow card was rubbish.
