    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    The benc ‘The bench front row looked better and more powerful’ I love these kind of comments, some of the run on side played 60 minutes in that rain and wind, didn’t lose a scrum, turned over ball and carried strong against a front row with over 40kg on them.

    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    He went well, tough conditions for a hooker with that on again off again driving rain and wind. I thought our front row were superb in the set piece and around the paddock. Pilfers, strong defence and carries, they definitely did their job well last night. I do hope that we get at least one...

    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    Huge turnaround and to all the naysayers that were going to burn them at the stake after 1 game and chucked a tantrum around the number of team changes, I hope you might wake up to yourselves in future. I thought the piggies were the star of the show, those that ran on and the reserves off the...

    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    They got comprehensively beaten and it’s a 4 team series to find your best squad and team for the WC. They play 3 times inside a fortnight. Geez you’d think they were in the second week of a season competition

    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    Not Not just the PI players. Thomas Yassmin just proved even key position are not out of the question for a development pathway prior to making it here like Hayne and Holmes. It’s definitely a big all round challenge in front of the game here in Australia. Let’s hope tomorrow’s effort and...

    2024 Under 20 Rugby Champs all match discussion thread

    It was game 1 in the worst conditions for Australian Rugby, both union and league, players. Think about our loss to Scotland in Newcastle or so many others here and overseas, it’s not a great excuse but we have as a nation never excelled in those conditions. Let’s wait and see how the next 2...

    See you kept your opinions to yourself despite him destroying the Wildfires opposition. You look even more silly now

    Round 7: Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 6th 7.35PM AEDT @ GIO Stadium

    A Scotsman trying to school us on rugby is like an African trying to teach us how to swim. You have 1 single coach with a better win ratio and it’s only just. Cheika did a great job and the style was not perfect but very clear. Bit over the shit panning of one of our best homegrown coaches of...

    Round 7: Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 6th 7.35PM AEDT @ GIO Stadium

    That’s now 12 straight wins for the Brumbies over the Tahs. Amazing for the Brumbies and recognition of the hard work they have done to build their culture and brand of rugby. Disgraceful record for the Tahs given their resources and location. The entire Tahs organisation needs to be tipped...

    Good to see you’ve come round. For a long while I thought you were one of those anonymous online warriors that liked to tear down successful young men. Thank goodness I was so wrong.

    Round Six: Waratahs v Rebels Friday March 29, 7:35 pm SFS

    Ok let’s just keep losing, great logic. You have to have continued success to be any chance, particularly in Sydney, home to the absolute worst sporting fans of almost any international city. The double problem for rugby is that the a majority of the existing supporter base are some of the...

    Round Six: Waratahs v Rebels Friday March 29, 7:35 pm SFS

    They just can’t afford not to pay the big dollars. Only just 11k crowd on a Good Friday night with perfect conditions. Barely a whisper in the press these days and I would say that the average sports fan wouldn’t even know more than 2 players. They cannot afford another 3 years of someone doing...

    Round Six: Waratahs v Rebels Friday March 29, 7:35 pm SFS

    They must come with a winning record. The next coach is more important than any player on the Waratahs roster. It has been 10 years since we have had a coach with a win rate over 50%. That’s a bloody long time. I hope they don’t go with another inexperienced coach at this level.

    Reds will be so disappointed they couldn’t close that out. Just to classy when it mattered the Brumbies

    Round Six: Waratahs v Rebels Friday March 29, 7:35 pm SFS

    I think given the injuries the team has at the moment and his potential it was a good opportunity to give him a taste. Currently are there better props in Shute, you’d have to say probably more than one. I did watch Waratahs A at Rat Park against the two Shute Shield teams. He more than held his...

    Round Six: Waratahs v Rebels Friday March 29, 7:35 pm SFS

    I support rugby. Because I have defended my own point, you think I’m somehow linked to a player. All I asked was to back up your opinion with some facts. I made no comparison of their skill, just a reference to the fact that two of them had made their debut at the same age in the front row. At...
