really hoping that RA takes at least half of that 50 mil and invests it wisely in some alternate income streams....you'd like to think by the time the RWC is over RA could be generating $8m to $10 mil in passive income each year through investments giving the game a bit of a safety net.

So who's the back up 10 for the tour? Could Beale get a look in?

Btw, TH might not be overly deep but the LHP options may be our best ever.. Slipper and Bell and now Ross joining the ranks. Hodgman and schoupp when fit

Id say most of the top tier countries would struggle without their top 1 or 2 THPs available. We've never had any depth at TH but id say we're not too badly placed for the world cup. AAA is pretty world class when fit, as is Tupou. Both are young enough to be in contention in 2027. Nongorr is...

One of the narratives theyre running with is that the terrible conditions suited us (after they pretty much all predicted the conditions would play to their advantage). I think in some ways the conditions did help us execute a fairly simple game plan but the mental gymnastics is amusing. Iv...

The lions in hindsight probably wish theyd made wholesale changes for the finals test, not cause the results would have been any different it just would have allowed the UK media to claim that it was a second string team

The criticism of lynagh are a bit harsh. His first 3 starts are against the Lions in a series we lost by the smallest of margins..to me he's shown enough to be our long term 10 for the world cup. I would however like to see him managed over the RC though...id hate to see him cope another bad...

The Bit of selective memory for mine...he made plenty of metres and got through a tonne of work...a real iron man for this team... he clearly isnt the dominant ball runner the likes of Valetini or gleeson but to say he makes no impact would be wrong

With a world cup on the horizon i highly doubt theyll enforce those rules strictly

That first half from the wallabies was as good as i can remember...every player playing with real venom. 2 years ago i couldnt imagine us smashing the lions pack like that. Well done boys..dIdnt win the series but we certainly leave with some bragging rights particularly after last week. And...

Plus if tupou's starting we'll need the extra workrate

Re the final call of the game, it seems to me had the ref called the penalty and said there was head contact, I really don't think there would be much controversy or poring over the coles at all. I'm sure the poms would be bemoaning Tizzano's over-the-top reaction to milk the penalty (and fair...

The finger pointing and negativity on the thread is nauseating. We got a good game. The decision is debatable thats life. 2 years ago the prevailing view was that this series wouldnt be competitive. This kind of performance belies where we are at in the world rankings. Spare me the sky is...

Nonsense. All my league loving mates thought it was a cracker and felt we were robbed...this is the type of game that makes people want to watch.

Great game...rubbish call at the end but it is what it is...all i ask from national tema is that they go out there and do us proud and they did that tonight
