I’m gonna assume that you’ve got a big typo in this post some where.
You’ve missed out on, I think if I remember rightly, the third biggest rugby community in Aus.
With three teams in Vic (why?) Only one in ACT and one each in SA and Tas.
Time for the Reds to shine in 2021
I just hope that the ABs take a knee also in a show of support and solidarity.
I love articles like this, and all those on Folau because whilst they are a horror story to read through all the comments, it highlights the passive and overt racism of so many posters and lets you know who is and isn’t worth taking seriously.
Those against the taking of the knee are against highlighting the inequalities that coloured and black people in Aust, Nz and around the world have to live with.
The Wallabies aren’t taking a knee to support the BLM movement, they are using it, as it is a now we’ll know action, to highlight and bring attention too the plight of Aboriginal and non white Australians that the vast majority of white Aussies simply don’t know and care about.
To be against something that brings attention to someone worse off than you highlights how low of a person one must be.
The Wallabies taking a knee is a matter of conscience
Probably because the game has moved on from forty years ago Shrek… And the fact that defence is far more effective these days.
And you saw what a great idea it is to kick to our back three….
But yeah your mate played with the Ella’s and for Randwick so…
What changes are on the cards for Rennie's Wallabies in Bledisloe 3?
Three games in a row, then one week off then the last game, not much of a break.
What changes are on the cards for Rennie's Wallabies in Bledisloe 3?
The petty comments taking swipes at the various unions over the last few weeks has me exhausted.
If RSA decide it isn’t in their best interests to come over then so be it.
Yes there are contracts and financials to worry about but that would have been taken into consideration before making the decision.
Also the choice of those players who do and don’t want to come over to Aus.
If the Bokke decide not to come, and there is a Trip Nations comp between the remaining members I’d love for there to be a small Mini tournament involving Aus, Arg and the ABs to play some mitre 10 teams.
I know not really likely but still a man can dream.
But please. Let’s stop with this childish accusations of dear and worryaand losing number one ranking…
They’ll lose it anyway if Aus rise in the rankings and the ABs beat them.
Rumours persist that Springboks will pull out of Rugby Championship
Too easy my bro, I know how confusing a medium text can be at times.
Appreciate the clarification my bro!
Living over here in Aus I’ve not really kept up with the politics of everything back home but I know there is a fair bit of unrest with Aunty Cinda.
NZ lockdown puts more doubt on North vs South match
Not at all. All I meant was that your comments are usually a pleasure to read and this one is generally quite unlike what your normally post.
Some posters on here I would expect such a comment, not you, hence my surprise and the fact I commented.
NZ lockdown puts more doubt on North vs South match
And this is quite possibly the poorest comment I’ve seen from you in a while.
Long time lurker, not so often poster.
Bit disappointing you’re taking pleasure in this…
NZ lockdown puts more doubt on North vs South match
The definition of irony, an Aussie calling our kiwis for an over inflated sense of worth.
Yet every single article and comment is how NZ rugby should and Japan should help out Aus in a comp. The biggest…. Having our players play for you.
Sorry Australia, the other two nations will supercharge southern hemisphere rugby
This suggestion has nothing to do with Au the same as all the Aussie suggestions want nothing to do with Sa.
Sorry Australia, the other two nations will supercharge southern hemisphere rugby
How so… World wide ratings for our comp are higher than yours… Sooooo our comp is more valuable?
Sorry Australia, the other two nations will supercharge southern hemisphere rugby
Well this is a load of bollocks that they aren’t wanted in SR.
By you maybe, most of us NZ fans want them here.
Rugby Championship still on Sanzaar radar
To what others have mentioned, and to my disbelief that EFF seems to favour Perth… Even though I live there…
NZ is the only logical destination for the RC if we have it. The only cases we have are returnees who are in isolation, we have an entire country who can host the competition and provide warm up games, and the virus in NZ is practically eliminated locally.
And yes with the way WA politicians are carrying on WA is the saviour of Australia… But it only has one decent stadium, the local facilities are mediocre and there is noone here to help the touring teams to warm up.
Please EFF get off your high horse..
Rugby Championship still on Sanzaar radar
I have a comment, as much as Kearns makes me want to take an old school hand drill to my own knee caps to drown out the pain in my ears from listening to him…
How is it that the Aussie commentators have so much difficulty with the Maori/Islander surnames? I heard three different versions of Daungunu, Nawaqanatiwase (I fear I’ve horribly misspelt his name) and Tupou amongst others.
It was brought up a couple of weeks back by one of the league boys, regards one of the female commentators who was taking the Mickey out of their names and how hard they are to pronounce.
I do understand that the closer integration in NZ helps us with surnames and the such, but I would hope that the commentators could take the time to learn how to say the boys names properly.
Side note, in NZ last year I think it was, there was a campaign about how to pronounce names with players popping up in adds after Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi was picked for the ABs and several people, including Hansen at one time struggled to pronounce his name.
Super Rugby AU: A new hope for the Waratahs?
Kiaora Jacko, Mr Bishop.
I have a feeling that the refs will need as much, if not more time than the players to settle down with the new focus.
But as we’re all thinking… Thank sod the rugby is back!
What Super Rugby Aotearoa's law changes mean in the battle for global rugby supremacy
Morena Mr Bishop.
Interesting article but can’t help but feel it would have been helped by waiting for a few more rounds to have been played to give us a bigger sample size to base judgement on.
Will be interesting to see how the new breakdown looks two rounds from now with teams having had more time to gel and to get to grips with the new rules
As an aside, I can’t help but feel the votes system for WR has been set up almost purely to look out for NH interests with the 6N teams having so many votes each.
What Super Rugby Aotearoa's law changes mean in the battle for global rugby supremacy
I always find this amusing.
The country that provides the least has the most demanding fans, whose demands expect things of other nations that the other nations would have no interest in.
The future of SANZAAR
This isn’t the full article, for what ever reasons.
They haven’t merged it with the npc in the hope to run the full season later on in the year and not damage the integrity of it.
Of course if they have too they will shorten or change it.
New Zealand rugby nearing a return
The North is the one gutting PInrugby for players and not letting them play for their nations. NZ has a policy of letting pi players play for our super rugby teams whilst still being eligible for their home nations and being considered home players so they don’t limit foreign marquee slots.
We’ve also supported financially the nation’s, coaches and staff and players.
The PI nations aren’t in the RC or SR because they are run with corruption and incompetence and would be naught but a drain, no matter how much of a feel good exercise it would be.
The remarkable thing is how you get your back up and desire to take swings at NZ rugby at any opportunity.
SANZAAR’s contempt for the second tier bites them back
What failings would those be?
Three World cups, money in the bank, a strong domestic competition, dominating SR, dominating world rugby since lord knows when…
You’ve taken Highlanders article as an almost personal insult and have decided to reply by taking swipes at the NZRFU.
Maybe turkeys do vote for Christmas
You have to forgive him. He seems to forget the first part of his moniker when it comes to the ABs or anything NZ.
Maybe turkeys do vote for Christmas
Comments like these really make me thing you are really two people.
One normally quite reasonable, and the other who posts and comments about NZ rugby.
Here’s a project for you, if you feel NZ has given nothing too tier two nations.
Go google NZ born players playing for other nations, then foreign born players who have played for the ABs.
Take note of those who came up through the foreign systems, then those who came up through our systems…
Then come back and let us know what you find.
SANZAAR’s contempt for the second tier bites them back
Ok after reading the rest, the article doesn’t really say much.
Ok Robinson said some good things about the QLD pack, what in this leads you to believe that Rodda or Wright should be the next captain?
As Mr Other Leg says, we already have three Anzac Tests. And before you mention the fact the league tests are called “Anzac” tests… They’re rarely played on the day.
And if kicking woes were so simple to coach out all nations and teams would do it…
Sorry, maybe I’ve just had a poop day at work and am being extra negative…
Why Queensland is the future of Australian rugby
I’m not even bothering to read the rest of the article yet..
There’s been an agreement to the pay problem? And world rugby is backing the bid for the RWC?
Either you’re reading far much into something, I’ve completely missed some big news, or there is some good stuff going around.
Why Queensland is the future of Australian rugby
It’s ok we’ll just take two spots away from NSW and everyone will be happy!
