Fair weather sailors? That’s rich. I feel like I did 25 Sydney to Hobarts. Rusted on you mught say. But having moved to qld a few years ago, last year I changed my allegiance to the Reds. The Tahs served up absolute rubbish for years and years and years. A couple if season they didn’t even try. What happened to Dempsey? Played for Australia but last time I saw him in a blue jersey he wasn’t interested. There is something seriously wrong with and at that organisation. Good luck to them but they lost me and not because I’m a fair weather fan.

‘The stench will wash away’: Waratahs hope fairweather fans show up

Fair comment from MB I suppose but it did also look like the Drua tried to provoke a reaction from Swinton all night, so they’re not choir boys either

Drua coach claims Aussie teams using 'niggle' to blunt his players' Fijian flair

he started at the Manly Roos, thanks very much (like George Smith, Hooper, Hodge).

Are the Waratahs the real deal in 2022?

a bit like Quadie getting booed for 3 years? What did Richie ever do to stop that rubbish?

The AO, tennis fans and Nick Kyrgios should all be embarrassed

Well said Stuart

The AO, tennis fans and Nick Kyrgios should all be embarrassed

and they poke pun at Queenslandlandees…that was an embarrassment. I also watched some other Aussie playing (popyrin?) and the bogan were actually booing his opponent. makes you proud…or something

'Absolutely awful': Did Aus Open crowd go way too far in outrageous Kyrgios sledgefest?

I thought Barry’s go was to belt people Who weren’t looking or expecting to be punched. I think it’s called a coward punch. And, no, I wouldn’t say it to his face, for obvious reasons.

'He's a w---er': Sonny Bill Williams vs. Barry Hall fight locked in, leaving Gallen in the cold

Thanks Mike. A couple of things. The All Rounder – never heard of him but I assume he’s from Bangladesh? Not disagreeing with Wasim but does it really matter if he’s a leftie? I have to take issue with the term ‘batter’. I understand its a brave new world and its not your idea (or fault) but for god’s sake, it’s a batsman. The girls can call themselves batters if they want. On that note, what are we supposed to call Third Man? Third Person (perdaughter)?
all the best

The best Test XII of the last 30 years, with 12 Test nations represented

I don’t know. But if they were that close he wouldn’t have said it and there would be no need to punch him.

'Walk away. Weak as piss': Angry Bairstow and Stokes react to fan's 'fat' jibe at SCG

he obviously wouldn’t have said it if Stokes was close enough to land one on him…

All I know is, it’s getting very hard to watch

Wallabies warned as Rennie apologises for ref rant

Yep, they are rubbish. Had one good year and went back to being rubbish again. As someone else said, they should be like the Crusaders but sadly, somewhere in the set up, like the board, things are so rotten all they produce is the rubbish we get year in year out. Cut them lose, get rid of the show-ponies running the place and give some of the decent players a go somewhere else where they may be developed and nurtured. It won’t happen of course and Australian Rugby will continue to stumble along, winning the odd game v a big scalp and all us punters will turn to a different sport

Rugby World: Larkham set for top Super Rugby job after quitting Munster, Foster fires back, Hansen's RWC tip

And didn’t those three clowns have a great game?

ANALYSIS: Give the ref a propeller hat, thank Kurtley for the memories and fix this blight on the game

Haha Geoff. That’s comedy gold. Wet de Nobhaandle and Sons. Haha

'Nailed to the cross with velcro': Erasmus and World Rugby outcome a stunning triumph for both

2 guys on here watched it again! I couldn’t watch the first time

Wallabies DIY player ratings from the England Test: The results

I’m a bit surprised Aaron Smith and Ben Young saren’t on the list. And the Saffer locks but it is what it is. Hooper for mine

Three Wallabies nominated for World Rugby's player of the year awards

Absolure rubbish. When he was on he was usuall, immense

VOTE: Wallabies DIY player ratings vs England

Hooper.was.good.as.for.60.or.so
Always good

VOTE: Wallabies DIY player ratings vs England

Yes, the one area we were good in was maul defence and I think Arnold was the key. There you go, I feel better now, I found a positive. The other positive was once again Michael Hooper who was magnificent as usual. The wheels feel off when he departed

ANALYSIS: So little time to fix so many holes with RWC 2023 rushing at the Wallabies

OOP, Hooper could be tried at 12? We have some other back row options and I reckon he’d be good at inside centre

ANALYSIS: So little time to fix so many holes with RWC 2023 rushing at the Wallabies

A 3? Very generous. I scored him a 1

Well, hard not to agree, except that maybe the ref/too were ‘right but they don’t let the game flow. It’s just so hard to watch rugby these days. To make it worse, the TV coverage was not up to standard, they need some Aussie cameramen and a better director, the commentary is Appalling, and I mean appali.g. Mehrens occasionally has something worth hearing but the rest are cringeworthy. Are they high? They are so busy trying to impress with 1000 words when 4 would do it they don’t even say what all the bewildering penalties are supposedly for. There was a replacement who was introduced with ‘and here’s the big fella now.. I watched the first 20 minutes of the Ireland game but couldn’t stand Marshall, the 15th scrum reset and the tmo looking for more pemalties to completely ruin a game of football. The laws need changing. Something needs changing. Everything needs changing. And im a rustwd-on! I might have to start watching the Mungo- at least the ball’s in play for more than 2 minutes at a time while everyone lies around having a chat while the ‘injured’ are attended to. Rant over

'Our fans deserve better': Everything Dave Rennie said after 'dumb' Wallabies 'strangled' by England

What a great advertisement for rugby league, netball, Aussie Rules, tennis. The ball won have been luck to be in play for 15 minutes total. Ruined a perfectly good spectacle. ENGLAND were the deserved winners but it was a joke to watch. Glad I didn’t stay up to watch it live.

MATCH REPORT: Brave but bumbling, the Wallabies fall to Eddie for eighth straight time

Old Jimbo won’t even see the bloke from where he stood last week. Might want to move up a bit and run onto the ball. Easier said than done, I know, but its hard when the ball is passed to your foot or over your head or behind your inside shoulder, so White might need to sharpen up a bit, too. Good luck and go well tonight, boys

O'Connor vs. Smith: Rennie backs JOC to bounce back in epic battle of old and new

Thank you Tiger
I hate to be a negative Nellie and I’d like to preface this with well wishes for the Wallabies boys tonight. However, the advice you are giving Hunter us something that has been leveled at him for 2 years. Which bit doesn’t he understand? Do the coaches not drill this into him every week? Is he incapable of learning? Why do the coaching staff tolerate it week after week after week? (Not just Hunter, mind you). What is wrong in the set up? I am no expert but I have seen this fron Hunter since his debut. He 2ants to win the game every time he gets the ball. It doesn’t work how do you get through to someone like that? Why is he still on thebawallaboes? He’s an om defender but he causes more problems than he solves. Why is he there? Ronnie knows more about it than me and must see something that I definitely can’t.

Dear Hunter ... bring your strong game, but bring your smart game too
