How much do you love White Mike? That guy is something else.

Eddie reveals stance on Wallabies RWC gig, and the NRL star who sums up biggest problem with Australian rugby

I’ll take this one…In the year 2080 the ocean levels will have risen by several units of measurement due to…reasons…and the changing ocean temperatures result in terrifyingly violent hurricanes throughout the summer and fall in the Gulf of Mexico and eastern seaboard of Freedomland. This instantly renders homeless the Houston Texans, New Orleans A’ints, Tampa Bay Suckaneers, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Commandos, Baltimore Ravens, New York Football Giants, New York Jets, and the New England Patriots. Due to seismic activity, large parts of California have fallen into the sea, casting the 49ers, Chargers, and Rams to the wind. Due to…other reasons…civil society and environmental conditions have degraded.

Seeking greener pastures and new TV markets upon which to foist their advertiser enablers, the gajillionaire class of American sports owners descend on the untapped island paradise of New Zealand.

Eddie reveals stance on Wallabies RWC gig, and the NRL star who sums up biggest problem with Australian rugby

Responses in order: #justiceforned; Uru is easy to watch and admire, will he ascend to the next level?; I wish Wilson was 10% better and more brutal and his subtle running lines and big frame could make him an Aussie Dombrant or a wish.com Higgers; panic if hooper is out, McRight not yet right as full time 7 and Tidy Tucked Shirt Samu is next up, then daylight; Beale is 100% cooked. How in the world is this idea of his return actually happening?

Predicted 2023 RWC squad: 19 forwards, 14 backs and FIVE overseas picks

I was nodding along to all points until the private equity part. If RA has trouble paying the bills now, it’ll be even harder when some vultures siphon a quarter of the revenue off the top. Private equity investors aren’t privy to moneymaking secrets and they likely don’t have anything to offer in the long term.

There's 'no high-fiving at RA' just yet, but Wallabies' character and emerging talent means they can be RWC threat

#justiceforned 👍 👍

Studs and duds: How Marky surprised RWC winner, John Eales Medal bolter, time for Pete to start over Hoops?

My brother in Christ, the referees simply cannot allow hair pulling and strikes to the face.

I’m no pro, but I’m as big as Swain and ole Johnny and my only criticism of Swain is that he didn’t just go ahead and split Johnny Hill’s lip

Late Wallabies drama: Lock out, Jock in doubt as Swain gets start

big if true

ANALYSIS: Wallabies need three wins to be taken seriously, and everything points to a dogfight in week one

I watch from afar via TV but it’s an entertaining brand of rugby for sure and get to see a ton of international players from all over the world. Plus, I really dig the exiles theme as a non-British viewer

'Spend them all on locks': Giteau Law bolters Dave Rennie should pick to fix Wallabies' biggest weakness

Another Irish fan spotted in the wild…there are dozens of us

Ned’s a good lad. Reminds me of me. Y’all don’t have 2m bodies growing on trees down there. You should be a bit easier on the ones you’ve got. He puts in a full effort, regardless of any shortcomings

UPDATED: Project Suli - Plan revealed for former NRL star, nine Wallabies picked to play Test strength Japan XV

Better chance of avoiding the knucklehead in charge of the other mob.

California is incredible.

'System is broken': Darcy Swain's ban is far too light, SANZAAR's judiciary process is failing the game

Checkmate. Well played. 😂

Looks a little suspicious for sure.

Best comment so far.

'Worst call in rugby history' or 'brave, correct and necessary'? World reacts to Bledisloe controversy, ref torched

Well played

Rugby Australia must follow the AFL's lead to rejuvenate the sport... and bring in the money

It would have been much more epic to stay named Washington Football Team. As-is, not much to like about this team. You’ve got this one pegged pretty well.

Interesting reflection. Thanks for the article. As a washed up lock, I feel for ole Darcy. Gotta get your money’s worth if you are going to get red carded. But as a man, hard to tolerate having hair pulled without returning fire.

Smith detractors are missing this. Given a proper 12 – as he has with his club – he is both electric and reliable.

REACTION: 'Effing wild!' - Cooper crocked, Banks broken and Swain sent off - but Wallabies overcome chaos

Is this bet a push, given the events of Saturday?

WALLABIES TEAM: JOC, Tate left OUT of 23 in Rennie's Reds purge, Neville and Porecki to debut as Brumbies dominate

Tua was such a fun fighter to watch. Granite chin, heavy hands and a nasty in-ring disposition. Great recipe for an entertaining heavyweight

Israel Folau has 'no regrets about anything' and keen on 'special' Tonga World Cup appearance

With all deference to most of your opinions which I greatly respect, it’s a terrible look to advocate black line cheating with substitution rules.

For what it’s worth I broadly agree that Eddie blew this one. But as far as emergency thrower for line outs, a veteran prop is a very likely candidate as someone who has probably at least practiced it before

He has grudges, grievances and pets, but how does Eddie Jones still have his job as England coach?
