The Penguin has hit the gap.

THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final

Test Rugby is about winning. SA managed this to a percentage the last month. Congratulations and well done.
Weather didn’t help today but (there it is) i agree this was not a game for the ages. Too much intervention (and influence) from TMO. If player is adjudged to have made contact with the head of opposing player then, if your concern is strictly for player welfare, that player should surely undergo a HIA.
Was frustrated to hear the words “Use it” (sometimes with a please FFS) then counting in my head to double digits before any activity.
Thought ab’s should have had multiple short arms against them for too long lineout throws in first half.
SA with a backline of that calibre chose to play percentage above all else.
AB’s were the team trying to play positive rugby today but were so far off their best they didn’t deserve the win.
Way, way too much stoppage time happening at the moment. Play the game and get on with it. Bring back the rule where halfback touches ball then play on.

'So many s--t emotions:' Distraught Cane says he'll have to live with red card pain 'forever', Foz questions Kolisi escape

The question at the press conference was not direct enough. Should simply be ” Simple yes or no answer thanks Eddie, Have you had any interviews for other employment since committig to your current role?” If no, thanks, if yes probe further. Door was left ajar and has contributed to the fire. Don’t get me wrong, still happy if EJ leaves today but that is for all the proven reasons. And Mclennan really needs to go this morning. Utterly clueless and insulting.

SPIRO ZAVOS: My message to Hamish McLennan and Eddie Jones: 'In the name of God, go'

I half jokingly saw it as a cryptic dig by Hoops. “This guy’s so clueless that everything between the start and finish of his day is trying to come up with a plan, any plan to make it work”

Good, the bad, the Eddie: Rats and possums, Hoops 'like the ex being MC at your wedding' and an orgy of apologies

Not quite. Look at Porecki’s reaction at 12:53

'Don’t know what you’re talking about': Jones denies wanting to quit Wallabies, throws a strop when asked about it

The real winner in all this has to be Green.
6’14”, golden haired boy, woman want him, men want to be like him, bowling 140kph bouncers, terrorising the English but history will show he was the bowler in a stumping. Not a word i’ve heard about this!

Flem’s Verdict: Cummins shows true class on and off the field as England contradict their words with actions

i feel better already.

Thanks
Ahhhh very therapeutic
👍

MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter

How exactly?

MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter

Maybe i’m just too negative after years, decades really, of the same outcome.
Wallabies having a go, sure. But “the go” is always insufficient and now tiresome.
I’ve seen the blame shift from Eddie to Knuckles then Robbie, Ewan, Chieka with depth of talent thrown in.
FFS enough. This week i jokingly said to kiwi workmate that 2 weeks in a row at Eden Park would see a 50 + to 20 scoreline to the AB’s (how the hell would that pop into my head). I hoped for better and cheered on as always. I’m a glued on fing die hard Rugby man but by God, enough already. The good, the great i saw today was outweighed by ineptitude which was summed up perfectly at 81:47 (or something like that) with the Wallabies unable to win and continuing to have a go, kick the ball aimlessly to the opposition. We all saw what happened next. If you don’t want to have a go, especially after the full time siren, kick the ball out and end the misery for all involved. There were many examples of this during he match.
There were numerous times tonight where the bad just stunk and the good was worth cheering. I’m fing tired. 20 years of disappointment. I rammed home in 2008 to a workmate that in an era of professional sport between 2 teams then there is no excuse for such a long delay in winning. Haaaah,
There is no denying that the All Blacks are one of, if not the best team in the world. Can’t deny how good they are or how good is to watch them but surely a Bledisloe in 20 years must have been achievable. Tonight is probably the first time i’m honestly believing that the next 10 years are heading the same way. That sucks

So the silhouette head shots are still there. Shouldn’t be surprised really. RA hardly one’s to change in a hurry.
Irony is a mocking discrepancy between appearance and reality or promise and fulfillment.

Rugby Australia is turning into Fort Freefall

I’m outraged by your article Tim.
Advance Australia Fair has 4 verses and a modified 5th verse which is generally sung with the first these days.
The other 3 of them are rubbish admittedly but still….
Just saying, that’s all!

I'm totally over the Haka
