'A bit deflating': Headaches for Waratahs after Reds trial thrashing, Brumbies win after Force miss post-siren kick
Shut down the Tahs.
They just take money from other states that can actually play rugby.

Well they seem to annoy the hell out of you, so for a lot of people on this forum, that’s worth the money to keep them.
Brumbies shut down talk of following Rebels into voluntary administration
You’re right Eddie- Hard decisions do need to be made.
Like suing you to return the money that you took from RA under false pretenses – e.g. that you were a rugby coach..
Tool
'Want to show rugby isn't dead in Melbourne': Rebels skipper's fighting words as Eddie calls for 'hard decisions'
Sydneysiders tho….
Rugby Australia is back where they hoped they would never return - and their next move could make or break the game
What exactly was he trying to cover up? I mean hide. I mean clean..
'Freak accident using a powerful detergent' sends Rassie Erasmus to hospital with chemical burns
Not in Qld mate. It’s regularly 26 /27 degrees at 7 pm here.
Rebels told they will play Super Rugby in 2024 but future on shaky ground as voluntary administration looms
Yes RA could try that.
But the only thing they’ve shown a skill for developing, is poor business plans and dire media coverage.

Sydney is a complete drain on the rest of the country..
The Chokatahs just handed all their debt to RA, and the Sydney boys club.is a major reason the game is in dire straights.
Rebels told they will play Super Rugby in 2024 but future on shaky ground as voluntary administration looms
Yes. Shrink our way to success, because we were small and good in the amateur era.
This kind of thinking is insane.

Good luck JS.
On the talent point, I disagree that we don’t have the talent. Our issue has been systems and coaching.
Don’t believe me?
Take it from Big Ange, who said just this last few months,
“I don’t think there’s a lot of difference between the best quality and the next level, it’s really small. But the character makes the big jump. I put a lot of stock in that.”
'Not a hit and run': Schmidt explains short-term deal and why he 'surprised' himself by taking Wallabies job
Pitch was great. Batsmen were challenged off both edges. If they truly got to the pitch of the ball and smothered the spin, they were on top – but they didn’t.
Possibly why we always lose in India.
'Looked like Chennai': Ponting blasts 'substandard' pitch as rank turner helps Agar to ridiculous figures
Don’t use logic mate. We’re here for nonsense!
Pat Cummins isn't Dennis Lillee's fast-bowling equal - he's actually much better
You got to face MM?
Awesome. Who were you playing for?
Agreed on Steyn – he somehow gets overlooked in the conversation about greatest bowlers, but he had it all.

He’s opened for Aus and done well in short form
'Specialist position': Bancroft calls for full-time opener to get Warner replacement nod
Yup. Well said.
COMMENT: Can we please stop rewriting history about Mitch Marsh just because everyone loves him now?
The NRL does something like that. They don’t do a lot that I like, but I’ll take that one.
'Hang their heads in shame': Sixers' ump intimidation appeal sets a bad example for sport at all levels
Yeah, but that’s grounds for sacking him.
It’s a pretty clear example of “bringing the game into disrepute.”

Curran became involved in the altercation after completing a practice bowling run-up in which he ran onto the pitch.
Should read.
Curran began the confrontation after breaking the rules and being instructed not to do so, by an umpire who was politely and correctly doing his job.
Having been raised by a combination of bad parents and the English Spirit of Cricket, Curran then began trying to intimidate the umpire to get his own way. Fortunately, the umpire is made of sterner stuff than English hubris.
'Didn't expect the stand-off': BBL Pom apologises to ump, 'deeply regrets' controversial incident as ban upheld
Yeah mate. It’s been QLD and the ACT that have ruined rugby
Chair who screwed us – from Sydney
Coach who screwed us – from Sydney
CEO who let them screw us – from Sydney
Cheika – another coach who screwed us – from Sydney
Coach before that, Link from Sydney, but the players from NSW white anted him because he enforced rules and wasn’t Sydney enough.
Please tell us again how it’s anything except Sydney ruining Aus rugby.
RA's new HP director 'totally open' to foreign coach as RA sets timeline, CEO reacts to player dismay over Eddie
Well they won’t hurt.

As opposed to the 8th that an elite Kiwi coach had us at?
RA's new HP director 'totally open' to foreign coach as RA sets timeline, CEO reacts to player dismay over Eddie
Yeah nah.
Curran behaved like a moron, and he absolutely 100% knew what he did was wrong.. He should have been sacked.
On the minuscule chance that he didn’t know that running at the umpire and then swearing at him was wrong, he should have been sacked for being too stupid to be worth anything.

Nope.
No.
Nah….
Multi-format contests loom as better option for most opponents than only playing fait accompli Test series
Mate,
The Reds scored what, 29 points with HMP on?
They played as flat and fast with him at 10 as I’ve seen in a decade
For mine, he starts at 10 next week.
