    Round 3: Waratahs v Highlanders - Friday 8 March 2024

    How sad is it that supporters yell insults at referees at a level and volume they have to stop the game and have someone removed? But there's alot more coaching these days than I am guessing there would have been back then about material effect and trying to let the game flow but it's hard if...

    RWC Pool C - Australia v Wales - 5AM 25 Sep AEST

    It’s endemic in school rugby at least. The ruck is someone else’s job while they jostle for the next hit up.

    Rugby World Cup Matches OTA

    Only watched the mini but France seemed a bit too respectful first half taking the 3 instead of going for touch. Managed the win but surely par was the bonus point win.

    Rugby World Cup 2023

    They changed the wording. 2021 version excluded mitigation for highly reckless. https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2021/03/10/e597c9c8-e852-4e19-875f-18e02e7f7e24/Head_Contact_Process_EN_v1.pdf It used to be being upright and lack of dip would have precluded mitigation but this...

    Bledisloe 2 2023 @ Dunedin 12:35PM Sat 5 Aug

    Pretty much this plus angling in, standing up or wheeling all options. Most of the time the reversing and wheeling is more pronounced so the ref has their pick of infringements. Last scrum Wallabies went back a bit and the scrum wheeled slowly before just going past 90. They may not have clearly...

    Bledisloe 1: 29 July @ MCG

    Am kind of thinking along these lines after the game. Not all doom and gloom except for the injuries at tight head. I think Gordon with White at half next game to do the restarts would ease some of the pressure on him. Looking at the kiwis they went all in for this one, full strength line up...

    Bledisloe 1: 29 July @ MCG

    Cat D behind the posts were cheap. $88 for a family ticket plus I grabbed 3 junior tickets for fifth child and 2 of their mates for $20 each. Like Allianz view is decent in the cheap seats. Only shame was a small subsection of Argentina supporters perched on concourse behind us splashing their...

    Waratahs v Moana Pasifika, Allianz Stadium Saturday 3 June 2023

    That could be the best option at 10 and 15. Not sure what Moana’s following in Sydney is like but hope a decent turnout for Hoops last. My older 2 kids were on to me to go and have enjoyed the atmosphere at Allianz this year.

    No. Brumbies gifted it.

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 1st April, GIO

    I rate Way, and Graham Cooper. Williams best of kiwis. Berry should not be picked for reds or Tahs games. Gardiner likes to show how tough he can be on Tahs in the past as well. Not sure why we persist with Murphy.

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 1st April, GIO

    My kids asked why I tipped Brumbies this week. Berry is a 10 point handicap for the Tahs.
