This is the comp they say is better then SR Aotearoa?

Waratahs crush Reds in rout

Just give up already. That boy will not help you beat the All Blacks.

Wallabies coach yet to give up hope Joseph Suaalii will stick with rugby union

Rugby union should get him, but not for 3 million. News now that RA has denied those reports but they cannot pay that kid anything over 1.5 mil. Yea he has a great highlight reel, but those are against other 16 year olds.
Better off with union where he can travel the world and earn bigger money, and like Tim Horan said to play in a real world cup. With league he’ll be in Aussie for the most part of his playing career.

Joseph Suaalii is the gamble Rugby Australia has to take

Lol

Joseph Suaalii is the gamble Rugby Australia has to take

You can’t offer 3 mil for someone who is just 16 and hasn’t play professional.
But agree though with Tim Horans comments. Better off playing union where he can travel the world and play in a real world cup and earn bigger money.
Play league and he’ll stuck in Aussie for the most part of his playing career.
Just another union player league wanna snatch up.

The best of Joseph Suaalii - the teen sensation wanted by league and union

Nice to see the six again rule I mean goal line drop out incorporated into the game. And that 60/40/70 kick or whatever. Next thing you know its golden oldie scrums and its a great game of rugbah league. Smh

Super Rugby AU: A new hope for the Waratahs?

Revealing The Roar's Test rugby team of the decade for the 2010s

No no no no no. Ben Smith at 15. You do realize Beauden only playing 15 because of Mounga and the shuffle at the All Blacks right?! Beauden is a natural 10. He had only played 15 for a year now, he’s gonna be a 10 at the Blues so if you really watched rugby at all you realize he’s not a 15. Don’t put him there because he’d won World Rugby player of the year blah blah blah. He’s good, no doubt about that. But he’s no Dan Carter and hes no 15. Ben Smith arguably the best All Black 15 ever so put his name there.

Niiiice. Lets see how he goes. Hope he changes everything Cheika did. From on and off the field. From attitude to mindset, from bringing the best out of players and putting them in their right positions. I’m hoping for a different Wallabies.

Dave Rennie inks deal to become next Wallabies coach

Eddie Jones is the last person the ARU should be targeting. He’s pretty much locked in for England for two years and looks highly to signed on till France 2023. Your only chance of getting him is after 2023.
What’s wrong with Dave Renee and Jamie Joseph? Or a South African? Get the best coach, not the best Australian coach, because he’s taken.

It's time to go all out for Eddie as Wallabies coach

Kolbes step reminds me of that of Milner Skudder.. very lethal

New tech captures breathtaking angles of that Cheslin Kolbe try

Interesting though, if they don’t bid anymore. South Africa are one of the strongholds of Rugby union, I highly doubt they will give up hosting bids. Millions of passion fans back home would vouch for it..

Was this the best ever Rugby World Cup?

France are the next hosts so the cup must and should go back to South Africa after. They last host in 95 so it’s very long drinks in between for them to wait any longer. Plus they just won the cup and also in 07, so they have a strong case now for hosting rights. Americas can host straight after.

Was this the best ever Rugby World Cup?

Interesting call. If they had beaten the All Blacks in the Pool game and in the Final, then there’s a strong case for that.
Next year will be a good case for the best ever Springboks team.

This is the greatest Springboks team of all time

The only dent to this World Cup was the cancellation of some of the games. But it was a great World Cup nonetheless, thanks mainly to the people of Japan and their passion towards the sport.
Let’s not forget the All Blacks for their humility and respect as well throughout the tournament.
I can see Japan as hosts again in the future. But the World Cup must go back to South Africa after France and then one of the countries of the Americas continents as host, either be Argentina, USA or Canada.

Was this the best ever Rugby World Cup?

When you said you prepared two years for the semifinal against the All Blacks, that’s where you loss the World Cup.
Gatland was right all along. You prepared to beat the best team in the world, while the Springboks were prepared to win it all.

Eddie Jones: We did not achieve our goals at the tournament by finishing second

Yup, credit goes to Erasmus for completely turning the Springboks around. Ever since that fateful 50-0 loss I think two years ago, he managed to erase that by beating them the following year in NZ and managed to consistently keep up with the Worlds best.

I myself ranked the Boks as third favourites behind NZ and England to win the World Cup. I only gave the Boks 40% chance of beating England in the Final, after what England did the week before against the ABs, I had England as favourites.
But, just like Gatland said, England played their Final against NZ, and Erasmus got the better of Jones.
Very looking forward to the Boks battle against the ABs in the coming years.

Rassie’s Boks rise to the occasion

Been late to the game but congratulations to South Africa and the Springboks team. Congrats to any Roarers on here who are South African, from an All Black fan. 👍

Seven talking points from the Rugby World Cup Final

All Blacks by 46 runs

Gatland makes nine changes to Wales team ahead of bronze medal clash

I thought it was a brilliant response. The fine was because they breached the so call line, which is a bloody law.

England fined for haka drama

Reiko, Ben, Frizell and Crottys response when getting picked- “Oh so now you wanna pick us ay Stevie boy”….lol

All Blacks trio to get farewells as third-place playoff side named

Highly doubt Laumape will do any difference. England won the match through their forwards who led the way. Laumape wouldn’t be able to contain Tuilagi, he’s not good at reading offensive moves.

Where it all went wrong for the All Blacks against England

Lets not forget for so long this was the ABs winning lineup before this World Cup-
Moody
Coles
Owens
Whitelock
Retallick
Squire
Cane
Read
A.Smith
Beauden
Ioane
Crotty
ALB
Naholo/B.Smith
B.Smith/McKenzie

What could’ve been..

Whiteout! How selection confidence helped England beat the All Blacks

Highly doubt Laumape will do any difference. He maybe the most damaging ball runner but he can’t defend a setpiece backline move.

Ben Smith should’ve been on the bench instead of Jordie. Yea and Frizell should’ve been at 6 instead of Scott. But I think it wouldn’t make any difference, England were too good.

Where it all went wrong for the All Blacks against England

Gatland now praying for England to lose so he can get his reply
