Greg Martin needs to stop. He is annoying.
5 worst passes of all time?
Where was the effort between Campo and Greg Martin in the 89 Lions series?
Gotta be in the top 5.

Interesting episode of Rugby HQ last night. The interview with Jake White in particular.
Georgie Robinson pushed him very hard over whether or not he'd been told that the Wallabies coaching gig was his. Clearly she was trying to confirm something she's got from a source saying as much.

John Eales not on last night. Interesting...

The most interesting thing from the Jake White interview was his comments when asked about getting players to commit. He posed a hypothetical, basically saying that if "for example" Ben Mowen came to me and said that Ewen McKenzie had told him that he didn't have him in mind for a spot in the team for the world cup, I wouldn't force Ben to stay in aus rugby. This may have just been a hypothetical, but it immediately jumped out as more than that. Was Mowen actually told by McKenzie that he didn't have plans for him in the wallabies after 2014?? It certainly had a smell about it.

What? There's other teams apart from the tah's and Reds? I know there is one called the Brumbies that are really shit and you all should hate cause they do bad things that damage the game like scoring lots of tries, getting in to finals and being at the top of the table which apparently is bad for Australian Rugby. But who else is there?
Its Ok GaffaCHinO because the way things are going your mob the Force will be getting equal hate for being above the Tah's and the Southerners will be targeted for extra spite for winning games and deliberately making the Reds end up with the spoon! Then all three teams will be equally blamed because we forgot to play "running Folau Red rugby" as directed by the ARU and McKenzie and won games, and failing to achieve the real results you were suppose to achieve which is losing in an entertaining manner - not winning! The demise of the sport in Australia will be 33.3% your fault!
But we, Rebels, Force and Brumbies will still only get 5mins on the "Fox sports Waratahs" TV, brought to you by Reds TV!

Actually, I've never understood why there is only one rugby show on fox each week. Seems there's enough for 2, one for discussing the upcoming games for the next round and the other can remain the rugby club with it's 'stories we've been talking about', which in reality is stories fox sports prefer to show on their website that week. Currently they tell us very little about the weekends matches when it comes to who's in and who's out, who the officials are etc - even if it's a Tah's match. And if it's a match that doesn't include an aussie team, you get pretty close to nothing.

Yes its a pain to see Izzy interviewed again. I assume it was a sponsor's event because of the Goodman-Fielder Logo. Didn't anyone in their marketing department realise the irony of him being decked out in the Wonder White brand?
The fact that the Force and Brumbies were both in SA made it more difficult for Fox to get coverage, but the Rebels were the ones who really got screwed. Not a mention.
Fox are not interested in Rugby per se; they are interested in rugby match ratings. So they're interested only in covering the big markets. NSW is the biggest and for Fox significantly bigger than QLD (there are more Fox boxes per head in NSW than in QLD due to wealth and coverage issues).
Truly, Rupert cares for nothing about Rugby. Its all about money and bums on Pay TV.
PS. Georgina Robinson, who week-in/week-out wipes the floor with her male counterparts, has made what I think is her first factual error. Not on Fox, but in the SMH, where she reported that the Tahs home games are the Lions, Brumbies and Chiefs. Its actually the Highlanders that is the NZ home game.
Compared to the number of errors male commentators make it was good to realise she's human too.

it has become very aussie centric, I liked the old days when they would cross to nz and sa commentators and get the view from the other side.
ditch the stupid next prop model (and every crappy variation they've had for the last few years) and actually talk frickin rugby.

I agree I think she is fantastic on the show. Confident and knowledgable about what is happening in the world of rugby (sorry Campo).
