New world record: Quietest gathering of 100k people.

CHAMPIONS! Head's heroic ton, bowling brilliance sees Aussies crush India for SIXTH - and best - World Cup win

Buggered if I know.

'It's horrific': Socceroos braced for emotional WCQ - is it 'bonkers' that we have to play Palestine right now?

At least he didn’t blame the AFL

You mentioned that “there are a dozen examples of teams falling short”, but surely the DLS weightings draw on real world data, and hence include those.

COMMENT: It's great for the World Cup - but Pakistan's DLS-assisted win over NZ proves the system needs a rethink

Well bugger. I turned out the light just as BS walked to the crease, I thought “Enough time for a ton but need to sleep”, and so missed it.

Mad Max: Big Show clubs fastest ever World Cup century as Aussies demolish the Dutch in record-shattering shellacking

I think it goes: the more penalty goals, the more epicness.

'What you live for': Boks beat England in World Cup EPIC to set up mouth-watering final against All Blacks

Needs more stoppages, especially penalty goal attempts. As apparently these are features, not bugs.

It's time to upsize Super Rugby and celebrate our differences

New adage then, you have to lose four to win one a decade later.

Fact or fable - do you really have to lose a grand final to win one?

” And the team sport in Australia with the most participation is soccer”
So presumably people then quickly lose interest, grow up, and then watch cricket and footy.

Graham Arnold takes a cheeky dig at the Prime Minister over 'lost scarves' and lack of real football support

They’ll be getting pats on the head from the Wallabies next.

Twin DRS controversies leave Aussies fuming as latest collapse, fielding nightmare sum up huge loss to Proteas

Rife in the NRL, except that’s what the fans want.

VAR is fine - the problem is pressure and panic from humans in the studio

It’s pretty simple:
1> Fall over
2>Get free kick
3>Goto 1

I think you’ll find it’s the AFL to blame. It’s always the AFL.

Cracking Australia Cup Final was a reminder of just how good Australian football can be

A point for losing, the second most rugby thing after the penalty goal.

Wallabies OUT of Rugby World Cup despite Fiji losing as Portugal pull off upset of the tournament

A tattoo, eh? What’s next, smoking in the toilets?

Reynolds' affinity for Broncos more than skin deep with skipper saving 'special' spot for tattoo after Grand Final

When boot first connected to ball way back in March, Penrith were going to win. Six months later, nothing has changed.

Penrith’s statistical dominance adds up to an almost invincible team but Broncos can cause upset with quality over quantity

Yes please, let them disappear into obscurity, cuz I’m sick of the Riffs.

The Wrap: With Wallabies done and dusted in 15 miserable days, who do we trust to take Australian rugby forward?

A run for their money, but that’s all. Close for a while, but will end 26-6 or similar.

NRL prelim finals talking points: Why Broncos have the firepower to give Penrith a run for their money

God no. Remember how you used to have to force the ball for a try? Bunker stopped that. Remember how if you went to a decoy runner, it was a bad read? Bunker stopped that.
Within five minutes, they’d be using the lines and ground to judge (incorrectly) forwardness.

'The forward pass was so wrong it wasn’t funny': Did a refereeing 'howler' cost the Warriors?

We all want the same result, so bow out gracefully Broncos, you know it’s the right thing to do.

'Everyone's been waiting for us to fall off a cliff': Walters certain Broncos won't crack under finals pressure

Few will notice a Wallaby loss, or win. So take a Bex and have a lie down.

COMMENT: Eddie must be axed if he can't beat Wales - or the game will be in deep trouble in Australia

If you didn’t live through the Jack Gibson-Parramatta era, you are lucky. After every game, most of which the Eels won, Gibbo would have a laundry list of complaints and the accompanying whining was incessant.

Refs not the riff-raff some critics claim - human error means there'll always be dud calls but standards have never been higher

Judging by the Roar’s community of league fans, this is what we want.

Too bad they didn’t have that hands off attitude last week, when Canberra were pinged for inside the 10 when it’s commonly let slide, including earlier in the same game.

Klein should be declined chance to referee Grand Final again after blatant clangers in Storm-Roosters cliffhanger

Quite a few interesting and exciting outcomes possible, shame it’s just going the be the same old tune again.

Two contrasting semi-finals: Neutrals bored with presence of Roosters and Storm, excited by Warriors and Knights
