It is hard to put your faith in an administration that is still running "where there's a Wallaby there's a way with Eddie saying how he likes to prove dad's wrong." Saw it today on million-dollar hot seat. Something has to change.

Tinkering with the pro levels is short term thinking. The solution has to be long term. Look at the structure and rules of junior rugby. We have state championships (QLD) where games are limited to 15 and 20 minute halves because there is a limit on total minutes of game time per week. We ignore...

I'm all for RA giving voice to Grass Roots Rugby.

Maybe the French Ref had shares in Sub manufacturer!

In instances that are definitely yellow but may be red then the Ref could issue a yellow with a red cross to show that the TMO is reviewing the matter and the player goes to the bin and play continues. If the TMO subsequently recommends a Red then play can halt to allow the ref to look at the...

Where ever the finals are played will be full houses. lets learn the lessons from past mistakes....put the money and energies into teen rugby now and all junior age groups after the two RWC's. We have great junior talent we just need to show them a viable pathway.

The ref missed a few things (both ways) to prove he is human. Did not affect the result. Was a most enjoyable game to watch and great to see both teams playing open rugby. Expect to see more people at the Brumbies next home game.

I live in regional NSW in a fringe NBN area. That may be an issue. I will take note next week when FTA and Stan coincide.

Positive I hadn't paused. At full time my wife came in and was surprised I did not know the final score as Stan still had 8 mins to go.

Not sure this is the right thread but I was watching the Reds vs canes on Stan and went for refreshments and noticed the score on free to air where my wife was watching was different. I looked at the time clock and it was at 67 mins. When I got back to watch Stan it was at 59 mins. Why do we pay...

The ref did us no favours by allowing our lineout throw straight to the catcher. Next match we will be caned for it. The last minute try was a Godsend.

Absolutely agree. Not a Barnes fan a few years back but today he was really good.

The different refereeing styles make it difficult for players. Just watched France vs AB's and you would think they were playing under different rules to Wales and Aus. At least 6 contacts to the head were ignored.

My understanding is a knock down is okay provided : 1. The ball travels backward 2. The defender attempted to grab the ball carrier prior to knocking the ball down. I'm not sure the second point happened in this instance, which would rule no try.

Unfortunately Wright does not offer enough below the neck to make up for the lack above it.

The penalty attempt by Cooper that hit the upright and then bounced into touch resulted in a lineout to Japan. Should the throw have gone to us ?

When I was growing up and watching test rugby and cricket my father explained that the test was about the strength of the game and it's grass roots standard at that point in time. Occasionally a player such as Greg Davis would migrate across the ditch and play for his adopted country(after a...

If a cross code contest is proposed then i assume the proponents wish to see which code is superior. Lets have a world cup format- Wallabies vs Kangaroos, Ab's vs Kiwis, Springbok vs Saffa 13, England vs North England, Wales 15 vs Wales 13 etc. Rules to be agreed between World Rugby and whatever...

I read last week that a company in Texas has a vaccine ready to test. it is the same company that developed the vaccine for the Saudi Flu. Under normal circumstances the vaccine would not be ready for human use until end of first quarter 2021 but the CEO says under pandemic conditions it can be...

If you know a Kiwi living in NZ now is a good time to call. They actually respond well.
