Te refs and world rugby need to do something about this fake injury BS!!!!
It is disgraceful behaviour and not in the spirit of sport. It must be driving fans away as it is such a hard watch.

Boks coach bemoans 'bounce of the ball' as youngster's massive play secures All Blacks win

Pretty sure they they beat Pakistan in UAE also

India versus NZ is a fitting World Test Championship final

The AB’s need a player in the midfield that will bend and break the defensive line that is what they missed against England at The WC IO. I would go with Laumape and Goodhue, like the old Nonu and Smith combo.

Who will wing it for the All Blacks in 2020?

Micko $$$$$$$$$$$ is your answer

Paul,I think you will find that NZ won a test series against Pakistan in UAE 2-1 this time last year right after Australia left left from there with their tail between their legs.

Two players offer Kiwis an edge over Australia – neither are Kane Williamson

How is that tinfoil hat fitting sandbox?

More World Cup fan angst to come as farcical Hodge suspension sinks in

Bigbaz I qualified that with “somewhat” neutral

From a somewhat neutral viewpoint (Kiwi) Hodge’s tackle looked clumsy as he got wrong footed and found himself in an awkward position. It deserved a yellow IMO and at worst maybe a week off. A Red card (as this was retrospectively adjudged to have been) should be reserved for acts with intent to injure or that are incredibly reckless dangerous play in which I don’t believe this to be either.

Wow Nobes is definitely not a Richie McCaw fan!!

The Roar’s 50 greatest Rugby World Cup players wrap-up: Who voted for who, team of the top 50, plus best countries and positions

I agree, I reckon Bridge has a similar skill set to Ben Smith with more pace. He could be a like for like replacement going forward beyond 2019

Barrett: Our attack will click and All Blacks will retain the Bledisloe

And the numerous, highly dangerous neck rolls being employed as a tactic by the Aussies going completely unpunished?…..

Barrett handed three-week ban by SANZAAR

Gold!

How the Wallabies fell for Steve Hansen's predictable trap

I reckon he has a “guaranteed selection if fit” clause in his contract, there is no other explanation for his selection

All Blacks announce Bledisloe Cup squad, drop five players

Coles, Laumape and Scott Barrett to start

All Blacks announce Bledisloe Cup squad, drop five players

Have to disagree there Fionn, they play the same position but are very different in style. Marx is amazing but Coles has just come off a horror run of injuries. We saw in the SR final that he is just getting back to his best and he was outstanding on Saturday. I see them as pretty even and clearly two best hookers in the world, they just play different styles.

The Wrap: So who’s a happy coach then?

Coles!!!!!!

Super Rugby team of the week: Semi-finals

This puts his gofundme stunt in perspective. Selfish, arrogant and ignorant

Folau hoping to crowd-fund legal case against Rugby Australia

He definitely has the right to believe what he wants but he does not have the right to shout it from the rooftops on social media (in his employment situation) when it can be deemed as discrimination against sections of society.

I know, down under generally refers to Aus and NZ

Super Rugby team of the week: Round 18

I agree with you regarding Australia, in regards to NZ hookers, he is not near in the same class as Coles or Taylor.

Best hooker down under?
Maybe in the top 3 or 4!

I think you could take “one of” out of that statement re: Savea, I think week in, week out he has been the best and it’s not close.

Super Rugby Team of the Week: Round 16

Though a short career due to injury I would put Shane Bond on there a well ahead of Brett Lee

The six greatest ODI fast bowlers of all time

Israel’s own stupidity created this. He has every right to believe what he wants but as an employee of RA has does don’t have the right to shout his extreme Christian views from the roof tops. If another player was a Nazi sympathiser would it be ok for him to post maxi propaganda on social media singling out Kews and Black people?
He has no integrity in my view, after the first incident he agreed not to do this again and what did I he do?
He is either incredibly ignorant and dumb or he is intentionally trying to bring RA to financial ruin in my view.

Castle admits Folau saga could have been handled better
