I’d laugh if it was your head maybe – but probably not

Sam Cane cops ban for World Cup final red card

Sam Cane cops ban for World Cup final red card

there was massive impact to the head – Id like to know how he is in 10 years time

wonderful story and in those times you probably thought nothing of it…
My Dads friend Bepe Castellani was a 500cc Motor Cycle champion and he used to drive his car with a bike on a trailer from Nigel to Cape Town for a race leaving Friday night and returning Monday morning to go to work .. he did that often..

Fresh meat: Loftus Versfeld smells like an abattoir. Tom Hooper and co were skewered and thrown on the braai

Great article – it brings it all back to me …. I’m glad for South Africa – it seems the people don’t have that great a life with the constant Electricity and other problems etc… so it’s good that they are united in Victory and cheering as one – something I thought would never happen.

I’m worried that the chaps are a bit too big though – against a fast nimble team they are likely to be run ragged…

I enjoyed the game and what a great win – will do them all the world of good – SA will bounce back theyre a fickle side but what a win!!
Hooper is outstanding in his energy and work rate..
Just a question – is Toomua’s International career over ?

VOTE: Wallabies player ratings from first Test vs South Africa

Du Plessis Kirifi ? I love it – “his father Jack Kirifi named his son after former Western Province loose forward Morne du Plessis, a No.8 who captained the 1976 Springboks to a series win over the All Blacks in South Africa.”
Thats just great – what an honour – I hope Morne knows about it…

Great game – Australia on the right track but its not going to be plain sailing!!

The Wrap: Eight and a half crazy minutes light up the Bledisloe Cup

John Eales and A.N.Other – – I put down Dan Vickerman but in reality i would have him coming off the bench in his enforcer role – somehow I never felt Nathan Sharpe was consistently good enough and the only other I know and quite liked was David Giffin ….

Pick the greatest Wallabies team of the Super Rugby era: Second row

Gallop for me – hes cool under pressure and has bags of experience…

Who should take the helm at Rugby Australia?

Im loving my new electric arm chair from Nic Scali – you just press a button rather than exerting force on those pesky levers..

Matt Toomua working hard on and off rugby field

ummm the media wouldnt stop criticising her…?

Australian rugby has its problems, but Raelene Castle was not one of them

Controversy from the start – all I will say is she must have been impressive in the interview to get the job ahead of PK… and if so she certainly fooled the Board who I guess are mostly ex Wallabies .. they still have to wear that one..

I can never watch videos from this site..

Vision emerges of Springbok coach's epic World Cup speech

Many years ago at School we had 2 black boys in the class – both sons of neighbouring country’s Cabinet Ministers – the one kid stumbled and bumped into a desk on the way to get his book marked by the teacher – there was a comment ” you clumsy K …” – we were all shocked and the Teacher was incensed – demanding to know who had said it – sheepishly the other black boy stood to own up – after a lecture on racism everyone had a good laugh …

Eddie Jones apologises for racism joke

Not a half Asian?

loved the banter … Good natured too
Happy New Year

Former All Blacks coach Hansen knighted

Judging from the comments I’m not up to date with NZ politics, however I’ve long admired his style, success and demeanour – I’m very pleased for him and his family..

Former All Blacks coach Hansen knighted

Why surprised he accepted it?

Former All Blacks coach Hansen knighted

As an outsider I admired the attitude of Steven Hansen and the fire of Kieran Reid who I thought looked so much the part of the fearless leader – while I was ecstatic about the Springboks win I am still sorry that Hanson won’t get his Knighthood and they will forever be known as the two who couldn’t win the winnable trophy!

Steve Hansen reveals what he thinks cost the All Blacks in RWC semi-final

I followed them from 1970 when I was 12 and my father took me to watch the All Blacks against Eastern Transvaal in Springs – Bryan Williams ran like a steam train down the wing and right past me…

Im glad you picked him, Sid Going and Colin Meads – Pinetree was a hero in South Africa..

God bless them all.

Who are the greatest All Blacks since 1970?

Very good very funny and a few head scratches as well..

The last column about Israel Folau ever, I promise

Nah – he’s an old head now ( 30 ) and can contribute a lot by steering a younger team through his experience – we need a young flyhalf to get to the next rwc and we should start now..

Matt Toomua puts his hand up for the Wallabies no. 10 jersey

A lot of banter here I see – hope its good humoured!
Shouldn’t get personal though

The Wrap: Why the All Blacks are ahead of the game in Japan

No they didn’t scrape home at all – but it was Rugby at its best – an amazing game!

All Blacks scrape past Springboks in Rugby World Cup clash

Wonderful reading – great thought provoking comments – Thank you all..
Certainly the game being played in Heaven..
Now for the RWC.. 1 more sleep!
Ach ma ! its the Rugby man! – eina !
