As a happy clapper fundamentalist Christian myself I would like to know how his religious beliefs have any bearing on his coaching. I would also suggest that his seedy past has probably informed him about how bad that sort of behavior can be amongst a group of impressionable youg men. I personally would have liked Quade be given another chance, but hey coaching is a tough gig. Cheers

Who were those masked men? How the Brumbies beat the Hurricanes

One lives like that when one has to, reminds me of me. Lol

An incomplete and non-exhaustive list of things Australian teams must do against NZ teams

I think fitness has been an issue. He’s certainly a good player

Tahs Gamble with Hooper as fast start blitzes Force in Perth

Lol, a lot of imagination required there. Cheers

Yeah, it was a gutless sledge.

'It sucks for me': Thorn reacts to 'annoying' sledge from the shadows that mocked his Wallabies ambitions

Have some sympathy in regard to the comment about the rolling maul near the tryline. In the old days players were not allowed to lift in the lineout, what if thst was reintroduced within the 22. Cheers

Rugby News: Banks' $2.8m mega offer threatens RWC place, ABs legend mauls 'horrific' SRP tactic

Fantastic read mate. Cheers

The times they are a-changin: The truth about what impact rugby's infuriating stoppages are having on action

As a 13yr old I do remember attempting a tackle on a much bigger/older fellow. I remember him placing the ball for the try & wondered why he was upside down. Then I landed on my head. Problem solved

Why no man is an island: backfield dynamics in Super Rugby Round 6

Agree, picked far too early. Amazing to think that he is only 22 as it seems that he has been around forever.

Petaia rejects overseas offers to stay loyal with Wallabies and Reds

Glad he got off, didn’t look to be anything in it at the time.

Wallabies great says officials are 'killing the game' amidst 'ridiculous' Tupou circus

Yeh, TT held up one side of the scrum against SA for 76 minutes & outplayed both their props. But apparently can’t play. Go figure

Wallabies squad: Why Toomua missed out, Rennie's view on Campbell, Holloway's 'brutality' shift

I seem to remember that he went ok against France, NZ, SA & Argentina last year

To be fair, Thor belts a few blokes lol

Wallabies squad: Why Toomua missed out, Rennie's view on Campbell, Holloway's 'brutality' shift

We have some wonderful prospects coming through at the moment especially 10s but I wouldn’t think that it is a good idea to do as Horan suggests. Its QC & JOC at the moment for me & allow the younguns to mature. Then we will possibly have 4 or 5 world class 10s. That would be nice. Cheers

REACTION: Aussie legend demands Wallabies call-up for Force 'future star'... but is it too soon?

No, but it was sorta funny. They have taken a lot of stick this year but it was great to see them come back and play the way that we love and hate against the ABs. Cheers mate.

Will Skelton reveals 2020 snub, and what he missed most in Wallabies wilderness

Marvelous article mate, much appreciated. It’s great to see that these blokes have such a good understanding of their roles, speaks of good coaching. Always had my reservations concerning Hooper but he has played wonderfully this year. Valentini has had a breakout year and has been phenomenal. Swinto has been great as well and I suspect opposition players wince when he tackles them. Cheers

Are the Wallabies on the road to their back-row nirvana?

Or they could play like South Africans, pretend to be injured every 30 seconds

Will Skelton reveals 2020 snub, and what he missed most in Wallabies wilderness

Watched that game, he was magnificent. I imagine anyone who saw him play in that game are still fans. Cheers

An open letter to Jordan Petaia: Forget about being the 'next big thing' and enjoy the ride

Great piece. Yes he did come in with a load of expectation on him and a bunch of injuries I suspect were as a result of being too young. Plus with his father passing away things haven’t been great. Hope he does well. Lol, I was a tryhard as well, pushed too hard to make up for a lamentable lack of talent and now I have a bad ankle, knee, hip, back and shoulder. Cheers

An open letter to Jordan Petaia: Forget about being the 'next big thing' and enjoy the ride

The man attacked a bloke who was trying to to do a good job. It was a dog act in my opinion. He did it it to put pressure on the referees over the next two games. If he had genuine concerns then he would have had the backing of the SA union and the the high esteem that the whole union world held him in to make a genuine argument for change. Those concerns, if genuine, have been now dragged through the mud by his disgraceful action. Cheers

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

Its not the way to do it.

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

The guy attacked a ref and he did it with absolutely no regard for the man. World rugby should have dealt with it much sooner but not for Rassie’s sake but for Berry and the other officials sakes. Before that video I and many other’s had the utmost respect for man. Now, I have have none.

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

Actually not so, I think that he would actually like to make it about the issues that he had in his video. Lots of ref haters out there, lots of folk with an ax to grind. He abused a ref and the way he did it was about as low as it can go. He wants to set the agenda.

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

Is he the messiah then mate? No, he’s just a very naughty boy.

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

He wants to to turn it into a circus, he is convinced that he is right. Wants to judge the judges. He is that arrogant.
