This handle of yours is a bit clunky.
Consider switching it around to BokCheetah, that flows better and has a more realistic ring to it.

Ssh, ixnay on the hegemon-ay.

‘Robbed’: Fiji seal dramatic, controversial win over Georgia to hammer another nail into the Wallabies' coffin

I can’t believe the billionaire who bankrolls his beloved Georgian team didn’t have the final say.

‘Robbed’: Fiji seal dramatic, controversial win over Georgia to hammer another nail into the Wallabies' coffin

And I wonder why. The Wallabies were The Universe’s favourite team in the late ’90s-early noughties.

Hard to be a good ref when, according to you, World Rugby is instructing him to decide the result of an RWC match based on funding allocations.

So Georgia doesn’t receive any funding from World Rugby?

Then have the fkn gall to call it Rugby Australia.

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

Brian Driscoll?

Ferret vs Hamster, doesn’t seem like a fair fight.

COMMENT: Kumbaya to chaos - if RA's boss is throwing in the towel so early, what exactly are we doing in France?

Talking of pressure, Eddie’s tell is his complexion and the Saint-Etienne result had him shining like a silver balloon.

Considering Harry usually likes to add a bit of colour to his prose, this article is striking in it’s directness.

They’ll be brawny boys looking to follow their southern cousins example and make their mark physically. Tough but maybe run out of puff?
We saw a pretty shambolic first 40 by the AB last time they made a shedload of changes, here’s hoping that doesn’t happen again.

COMPLETE RWC teams week 2: Wallabies make three changes as Fiji name giant centre, Hansen back for Irish

Why is BB kicking the ball away?
Because he hasn’t made a clean linebreak in like, forever.

I stopped reading at ‘truth’. Gawd bless the internet.

RWC News: 'Losing three biggest academies' - Eddie's truth bomb for ABs, Poms' 'horrendous' fear

And why panic when, as supporters of a rugby team, we have no control over the final score.

Is seven weeks enough time for the All Blacks to learn, reset and adapt before the World Cup quarter-finals?

What have the Wallabies achieved since that day? One (shortened) Tri Nations, no Bledisloe, no Bill.

How many RWC did John Hipwell participate in?

I always liked Daniel Herbert, pretty intimidating with that power running game.

The four more years didn’t age well though, did it. But George was just calling it as the drama unfolded at the time.
The author/expert recalls Byron Kelleher lying prone but (conveniently?) failed to mention why. A dogshot to the kidneys from another Wallaby named George ring any bells?
Gregan was a pretty awesome halfback though, especially in the Rod MacQueen coached sides. Highly organised and a brave defender to boot. Who could forget his several outstanding tackles on the giant Jonah Lomu?

You need a hysteriaectomy, FB.

Barrett CLEARED for Rugby World Cup opener

Goodhue is also the best ball distributing centre in NZ. Potentially great career (Crotty reckoned Goodhue would be an AB centurion) wrecked by injury. He’s off to Top 14 for 2 years and will only be 32 by the 2027 RWC.

ANALYSIS: 'Time to make the tough call' - South Africa raised the stakes, and the All Blacks folded

Dead on, OM. There’s only one very good starting XV in this current wider squad and they needed to be kept at the coalface.

The refs will never be ahead of the gamesmanship tactics and the games within the game is what makes Test rugby fascinating viewing.
