The Wallabies were our own worst enemies tonight. All the usual perpetual problems that tend to plague the Wallabies year on year on year on year. * In the attacking 10m, basic skills. Dropping the ball cold or knocking on unforced. Very very slow ball giving the opposition plenty of time to...

If the only times you get called on to kick are the really long difficult kicks the other players don't even have the distance for, you're going to have a poor record. Edit: How does that Gretzky saying go? "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". He gives us a chance at goals we otherwise...

Foote gave the Rebels some attacking ability in Super Rugby TT. Looking forward to seeing what he can do given a full season of Super Rugby. Looking forward to watching some more Melbourne Rebels matches out of their home grounds of Leichhardt Stadium!

That participation rate image just shows that junior participation isn't everything. I'm sure a lot of those kids playing soccer thought the same thing I did when I played soccer as a kid - that it's a fun game to play but boring as batshit to watch.

Just read that all Shute Shield Round 11 games =AZUkNtWZQ3j6arPVf1twOL908NoUOrBv3jeZosB8LSC1WW2CiWoEvVPBwEC4550mM298LR9GDpZHc_QDya5Z07OFNcbl_pjBs7Q7svQGaZh1BYB4-kFmdgiLAGTnkpC7GiT5NfvmWv3J5RNXf_4HvaVRhblbXg6KLnlOFtq0UuI7DA&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R']are suspended. Round 12 will be decided next week but...

My last reply said all going ahead. But 4 LGA's are now getting stay-at-home orders (aka lockdowns) for anyone who lives in or works in those LGA's including Randwick, Sydney City, Woollahra and Waverly. This will HUGELY affect the Shute Shield. Awaiting official word from the Shield & clubs.

From what I've seen all games are go at their scheduled venues. But crowd capacities are halved and you must wear a mask at all times.

Assuming NZ gets a Moana Pacifika team and AU gets a Fijian Drua team ... If the conference model includes 2 games against teams in your own conference and 1 against teams in the other conference, it'll only be 3 extra weeks over what we had this year. Reds will still face Brumbies (for...

Swinton's challenge of the red card a success. The card has been dismissed and he's free to play against France.

Robbie Abel also gone. Unsure if he's going somewhere or just not getting contract renewed.

The more time goes on the more Genia has a tendancy to provide very slow ball. Gets to the back of the ruck then looks around and directs people for ages, giving the opposition plenty of time to reset and prepare for the next ruck. White does slow down a bit as the game goes on but not to the...

We'll just get them to ship the jerseys and then fill them with Tahs players?

Hopefully a rejuvinated NRC gets supported properly by Stan and Rugby Australia too. NRC you had to go out of your way to find anything about it. Half the time it wasn't in the Foxtel guide, I had to surf the Foxtel channels at times I knew games were meant to be playing if I wanted to watch...

Isn't that what it does when they're doing the full intermission shows? It did it for me on Friday night. It's what it used to do for me before 9 got hit by the cryptolocker / hackers / whatever. Ahh, that's another level of functionality that would need app changes too. Here I am waiting...

Me, EVERY time: BUT HE'S A COMMENTATOR!!! Oh wait, they mean Darcy not Andrew. One of these days I'll get it right in my head.

Me: Wait, aren't you the defence coach? I'm struggling to support him as a contender for new head coach when he's our current defence coach and our defence is so bloody bad.

In his first season he could step around players like anything, he had speed at the drop of a hat, he was a fantastic finisher and try scorer. But he sucked in defence. His second season he looked stronger but couldn't outrun a prop, anyone and everyone could read what he was about to do so he...

He has played lock for both Waratahs & Wallabies, I'm sure of it. Whether he's played lock well at these levels is a question for someone else.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/nsw-rugby-board-reveal-new-chair-as-davis-exit-confirmed-20210510-p57qee.html Roger Davis is out of NSW Rugby, replaced by Tony Crawford. What do people know about Crawford?

We're all doomed.
