Yep and Rugby Australia’s website says Bell is 125kg so a 5 kg difference which isn’t that far off the mark.

But both Rugby Australia and Planet Rugby have Skelton listed at 135kg which is way off the 120kg weight listed in the above article.

SPIRO ZAVOS: Skelton a force of nature, All Blacks' strategic error that has put their World Cup in peril

Pretty sure Skelton is a fair bit heavier than 120kg….Planet Rugby ran a story today claiming he and Tupou are 135kg each

“ We’ll see how opposition fans like it when the ABs start waving arms and yelling at the ref about everything that could be questionable.”

I think you might find that Aaron Smith is a world champion at doing that already.

Barrett CLEARED for Rugby World Cup opener

And kill the sport off in Australia, how about we show some belief and support before the World Cup and judge him after it.

RWC News: 'Part one hasn't come off': Gatland aims withering one-liner at Eddie after World Cup prediction

There’s no chance on earth he would play prop in rugby, his position is number 8, just like when he played the sport at junior level.

He has a new captain and vice captain which is critical to changing the team’s direction as well as adding several debutants or single cap players that have been on the outer in previous squads.
Not to mention amended the Giteau law as
well which has added more depth.

Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby

Yea, how dare Eddie have an optimistic view of his team’s chances.

He should answer all media enquires in a pessimistic tone and never have lofty ambitions.

RWC News: 'Part one hasn't come off': Gatland aims withering one-liner at Eddie after World Cup prediction

I love Eddie’s left field thinking, I mean surely no one thought we would win the World Cup using the same cattle that has a 35% win rate over the last 4 years.

What’s the definition of insanity again?

If kicking goals from the sideline is the benchmark then keep Carter Gordon as the kicker, he kicked 2 from the sideline last weekend

We would have the most injury prone midfield combination at the tournament if this is correct…I hope we have a couple of centres

Exclusive: Quade, Hooper to miss World Cup selection as Jorgensen rockets into squad

“The only thing better would have been if Australia where 9 wickets down”

Actually there would have been one thing better. If we were 9 down and Stuart Broad took the 10th wicket, celebrated wildly, only for the 3rd umpire to notice it was a no ball and have to recall the batsman just as the rain started to fall ????

UK View: 'Timid, petrified' Aussies escape in 'galling travesty' - as Pommy Pauline Hanson's hypocrisy exposed

He was immense in the 2015 WC…tore England apart in the pool round, kicked a pressure goal vs Scotland in the QF and set up multiple tries against Argentina in the SF.
He’s not a mug

The final countdown: Inside the Wallabies' camp ahead of TRC squad announcement as Bell, Tupou run freely

It gets personal when you start calling batsmen names and could end up in an ugly escalation.

If he just said F off Usman it wouldn’t have been as bad.

Holland, Julian Savea, Karl Te Nana, Jeff Wilson to name a few off the top of my head.

Seems like Australian cricket can’t win sometimes. I mean how dare they not spray champagne everywhere, it’s much more important than being inclusive according to this numpty.

I was just pointing out your error in saying that no O/S cricket test matches are telecast on FTA

If India could only bowl 85 overs with an extra half hour of play they’ll be lucky to bowl 50 overs by tea, ridiculously slow over rate

“Test matches in cricket on FTA are only the home tests just as rugby is.”

That’s not quite right. The current World Test championship in England is being broadcast on Channel 7, the upcoming Ashes will also be on 7, just like the 2019 Ashes was broadcast on channel 9.

Pretty sure channel 7 broadcast the test series in India last year as well.

'Dear Phil, don't stuff it up': An open letter to RA's new CEO, and the three priorities he must tackle straight away

I think I’m right in saying that they extended the last session by 30 minutes and India still only bowled 85 overs…I wonder if they get penalty points deducted for the next cycle?

Fairly sure that they share the title if it’s a draw

Definitely agree that some grassroots are doing a great job…I know of 4 Sydney Shute shield clubs that have so many colts playing for them this year they have had to start a 4th grade colts side and put them into a Subbies colts competition…even though Subbies colts is for under 21’s and Shute shield is for under 20’s.

'Dear Phil, don't stuff it up': An open letter to RA's new CEO, and the three priorities he must tackle straight away

There’s one Super Rugby Pacific game a week on free to air so it’s not completely hidden behind a paywall and I’m pretty sure that’s one more than the NZ public get to watch on FTA. Not to mention the Wallaby test matches are on FTA as well. I mean NRL only have 2-3 games a week on FTA so it’s not that much different.

Too much information?

'They shaved a quarter of my nut off': Panther reveals gruesome injury that derailed Origin hopes

I don’t take anything Eddie says on State of Origin day seriously. I reakon he’s just trying to get us talking rugby on the NRL’s biggest day of the year.

Eddie finally gives update on weird contract claim - but we're still left wondering WTAF it was really about

It’s state of Origin tonight, Eddie is probably just trying to steal some of the media attention from them.
