Thanks ForceFan. I thought I would have heard some booing and jeering from the crowd at the ground with those ARU types there. Enormous damage is being done to the code with the way the ARU is running the show. It takes a bit to get me angry but the contempt shown to WA rugby and its supporters...

Were any of the ARU head honchos at the test/ground last night? Pulver, Clyne, Eales and the rest.

I'm an old geezer who loves rugby. I very rarely post. However this thread has some of the best written and heartfelt posts I have ever seen anywhere. I suffered anxiety and depression after my fathers sudden and unexpected passing four decades ago. I was prescribed so many pills you...

The bench isn't used that much anyway. The run on side looks okay.

I remember when 9 showed the Ashes 'live' with a two hour delay. My memory tells me 7 used start the State of Origin 'live' thirty minutes after kick-off. In QLD the OZ tennis open is only live from the semi-finals onwards. Can you imagine what rugby coverage would be like if left to FTA...

Following the Wallabies is a tough gig and I went into shock after the loss to Ireland. However, today I have come right and I'm looking forward to our semi-final with the All Blacks! Sure, the losses are hard to take at times but hell I love the wins. Maybe they seem better when there are less...

Thanks Sully. I'm in the same area as you and I wish they had our weather over there. I'm hoping the Italian team are not mud-trackers either. I just don't want us to be on the receiving end of the first RWC upset. In my heart I feel we have the team to go all the way but we are going to get...

It's my first post here. I love the site and the informative threads. Boy am I nervous and the heavy showers and winds have me like a cat on the old hot tin roof. To my thinking this game was always going to be a tough one for us and in the mud it is going to be even tougher. I hope the boys do...
