Warner started it by hurling the most vile disgusting abuse at DeKock about his sister on field . And when de Kock retorted in the tunnel in a similar low way , Warner was offended and got into a scuffle with him .IMO Warner was a nasty little bully who took Australian cricket down the S bend . His cricket was good .His character he has showed as unpleasant .Not well liked in Little Bay I am told .And unlike Shane Warne he has not given back to cricket or humanity .

David Warner: the most complicated legacy in Australian cricket history

WhoDis you omitted to mention the vile filth Warner directed to Quniton de Kock regarding his sister during that infamous test in 2018 .

Agree Rocky .Says little for the ACB that Warner played for Australia again after the sandpaper incident .Good riddance I say .

Warner’s action in South Africa visited disgrace upon the Australian cricket team .He should never have been selected to wear the baggy green again .

'He's up for it': Why ex-Boks World Cup-winner Jake White should be on the Wallabies coaching hit list

JW was offered Wales and turned it down , much to his eternal regret .

Kingpm
One cannot win a RWC without cattle .A strong forward pack , drilled in scrumming , line outs and mauls is essential .Who would complain if JW appointed and Australia beat the Lions and won the RWC playing 10 man rugby ? The Australian way people speak so fondly of will not win a RWC .

Ireland under Schmidt was a very good side but never seemed to have a plan B .Farrell has made a huge difference to Ireland taking them a few steps forward .Ireland under Farrell is a much improved team .It must be said however that Schmidt made a big difference to the AB side.

Average return of 10% ! Woowwww !!!

'We don’t hold any grudges': Why Wallabies star will still be picked in 2024 despite NRL defection

You omit to mention that South Africa won the 2019 RWC with two brilliant tries .The first time two tries scored in a RWC final

Rugby needs a revolution - if the game is to endure then penalties must be scrapped for all but three reasons

Why on earth would Arendse want to swop a winning team for a losing team ?

Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'

It has always seemed arrogant to me that players switching to NRL say ” I’ll be back in 2 or 3 years to play for the Wallabies ” .About time the ARU drew a line in the sand and apply a type of ” Giteau’s Law ” to deal with this .So they can come back to union but be ineligible for the Wallabies for say 3 years . Might get some of these players to think about their move .

The one obvious lesson from winning RWC teams is that you must have the cattle to have a chance .Australia traditionally does not nurture its forwards in scrumming and mauling .I recall a test where they had to go to uncontested scrums , the French ref ( or linesman ) saying ” they are too weak ” referring to the Wallaby front row. Not to mention the Australian technique of the scrum stepping aside to depower the opposition scrum .
The ARU throws money at backs instead of investing it in growing a cohesive tight 5 .

RA must not fixate on an Aussie coach - why Ronan O'Gara is best choice to lead Wallabies after the Eddie calamity

Hardly surprising that Andy Marino’s quit after sorting out the financials .Could see the disaster ahead unfolding.

What was Barnes to do when that knock on before the Smith try was showed on the big screen ?Award the try ? No way could he have done that .He was not overruled by the TMO but presented with this dilemma . He had no choice once that knock on was up on the big screen .

Does league TMO not view all the phases leading up to a try ?

Wow Brendan !
Strong stuff !!!

It is such a pity when reasoned discussion devolves to personal abuse and insult .Bokabies and Piru you diminish yourselves with this sort of stuff .No place for it on this site

Agree with you on that Dawn but tbh if that try had been awarded after a clear knock on , it would have been a poor decision .Made no difference to the outcome as NZ scored from a penalty awarded in that phase of play . If Smith’s try was awarded play would have gone back to halfway so a Barrett try unlikely .Anyway , whatever whatever , I think the TMO should be able to interject on the lead up to the try not just two phases as in league .

What’s wrong with a slower game ? Why the obsession with basketball rugby ? Do we really want to turn this into Harlem globetrotters stuff ? In any event , the ABs had some 70% of possession in the RWC and tried to attack but where smashed by the unrelenting green line .Against Ire the ABs were error free .In the final they made 8 errors due to the aggressive SA defence .There is a lot to be said for the SA slow poison game .Superrugby I find boring with matches won 50- 35 and so on .Thousands , indeed millions , watch the top soccer teams play to a 0-0 draw yet no cries to make the goalposts wider or keepers shorter .No need to change the rules imo .Except I would like to see the mark go.

Possession Rugby is on life support - and the stats from the World Cup prove it beyond doubt

Bongi should apologise to Curry for what?
An unfounded allegation ?
