So you have made Kickbot 3000 a Australian? Excellent just keep him down there

I believe that JOC (James O'Connor), Quade, Beale and Ioane call themselves the Budgie Brothers

After last week efforts the Force fans have nick named Rory Walton "Wreck-It Rory"

James O'Connor - Justin Bieber (or is it the other way round?)

Is it nicknames what their fellow mates call them or what I personally call them when sitting on the couch yelling at the tv? As a Saffer I can guarantee you most of them come with a R rating and you won't like it

I think I read somewhere that there is a injury prone bloke that played in an Australian Super Rugby team some time ago who was dubbed Tampon, because he’s in one week, out for three. Made me chuckle anyone know who it was?

I've heard Berrick Barnes referred to as this in recent years as well.

Please save that for another thread.

Whatever floats your boat.
