It was a poor ARG side I thought, their game was last week against NZ. The joy afterwards was more relief that they won, not that they won well. We won by 6 points and never took the game away from a poor side. They can spin it anyway they like, we are not WC contenders. I’m just not convinced, happy to be proven wrong.

Wallabies chip away in Argentina Test win

Harry do you think we will see Steyn and Am? Steyn drawing the extra man and Am’s ability to find space could be match winning.

Springbok 'learnings' from Ellis Park

And we also forget that the Boks needed to get used to the new combinations as well in the first half, they also had 14 men. The second half was more realistic in my view, outside of the yellow card. The WBs are poor, i think we are in for a world of pain in Brisbane.

The Wrap: Are the Wallabies cursed? Too right they are

Well said. The chairman of the ARU is a huge muppet. I know people who worked with him and they to tell me he is a muppet. Be gone the lot of you, get some rugby and business brains in there.

WBs were too slow. Beal showed what speed would have done against the rush defense but me feels the selectors are trying to compete with size. When has the WBs ever relied on size? Boks took time to gel and when they did they scored and dominated. Too late to try and come up with a new style WBs, just too late. Checkies in the pre-game didn’t sound convincing when talking about the game plan. We are in huge trouble, we don’t look like we can or know how to beat the good teams anymore .

Well let’s see… RA say it’s about inclusivity and making rugby more inclusive except if you quote the bible. It really makes no sense at all that they have excluded a section of society but only included them on some conditions. I thought we were past that nonsense. So really the only conclusion for me is that it’s
become a commercial issue. If it was about inclusivity RA would not have gone this route. The route they went is due to downward pressure from someone holding the chequebook that keeps them afloat. It’s not about rugby and community at all. “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. That’s probably in Castles email from Joyce.

Folau fired: Rugby Australia axe Israel

Yep they got offended. I think thats normal human behaviour. We all get offended about stuff. Makes this whole thing seem trivial.

Watching the rugby this weekend ?

Folau fired: Rugby Australia axe Israel

Getting offended is the easy part. Having a discussion about it is the hard part. This was the easy way out for RA. The hard part was going to be chatting to Mr Joyce about why they didn’t fire him.

Thanks Daddy yo for bringing the spelling error to my attention.

Folau fired: Rugby Australia axe Israel

What a joke. The guy offended some people, wow. Let’s all grow up. Will this Castle lady get fired for wasting millions of RA money ? Probably not. Absolute farce.

So all he had to do was remove the one line in his comments, Liars etc can stay and he could be safe ? Why only homosexuality ? Or is it because our beloved Qantas is run by a gay man and the ARU have singled it out after the first post ?

The post was not put out there to alienate homosexuality, it was aimed at all humanity which makes me ask the question why single out homosexuality ? I don’t see anyone who has had an affair complaining about the post ? To me this all seems too close to a commercial issue and i would expect that if we had a different sponsor one of the other offensive lines in his post would be singled out.

Israel Folau issued breach notice, has 48 hours to respond

Maybe he did, and ARU didn’t buy it? ARU have to make a stand based on their commercial needs. I would imagine Qantas pay some big $.

This is the thing, the point he is making is we are all going to hell as we all fit into one of the list items. Hence the need for a saviour. This has been made about slagging homosexuality when its actually about sin. His defence will be that people have made it what it isn’t.

Thought the SBs played well against a good home side who are on the up. The bench seems to have improved for them as well. Yellow card on Le Roux was a bit harsh but all in all the NH sides are looking pretty good and should make the RWC one of the best of all time i feel.
