I was taught that rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen (and ladies). Yet the backlash against Craig Joubert has been seriously unfair…

League’s a great game but Union is the game they play in heaven!
Scrums, line outs, flankers and unlimited ball retention all encourage a “contest” for the ball. The contest is what makes rugby interesting.
The “lean-to” scrum in league is not a contest and that easily could be replaced with a tap without many people complaining!

I’m a Kiwi living in Australia so I support both the All Blacks and Wallabies but I also really like the way the Irish are playing rugby at the moment!

Great article David.
If Cheika picks the Phipps – Cooper – Toomua combination then I can see QC having a very good game.
Phipps has a zippy pass and a point to prove after ostensibly losing his starting spot to Will Genia.
Toomua is one of my favourite players – both a solid attacker and great defender.
With the support of those players around him Quade should go well!
