Wallabies 2023

Had a look at Stan to see how much of EOYT we get to see and was surprised that all the Nth Hemi games are covered, plenty of great rugby coming up. It is time for the couch to get a vacuum and stock up on your personal poison. Mines RED+Pizza!

Not sure on the pizza, or at least it would be with Coopers. What's your favourite Rugby Red. (I could be obtuse and say LFG but I'm actually talking wine here.)

You’ll need something stronger to get through this tour.

Shiggins probably has a good recommendation.

I've got some stuff.

Grappa? Tequila? omg Ouzo?

I would love to see Skelton go out there and tear the opposition a new one. Nothing would give me more pleasure than seeing the same output at test level as he's shown in the UK and France. I hope Rennie plays him and we settle the question once and for all.

Don't get your hopes up.

Rennie tends to give players a start then cast them aside after concluding they're not good enough... all from the evidence of one single game.

who's he done that too ?

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I think I recall the "once and for all" comment being posted before his selections last year on the EOYT. I fear if he doesn't perform the same comment will be made before the RWC next year to justify some poster's urge to have him in the WC squad.

Well it won't be from me. If he doesn't make an impact on this tour with multiple opportunities then I would be drawing a line through him. I hope the opposite happens, though, because he can clearly be a very damaging player under the right circumstances.

I have some excellent 2016 McLaren vale reds atm. Also not shy about GSM (gorgeous soccer mums - red). LFG? I checked the cellar and nothing in there remotely resembling this.

Very partial to any McLaren Vale Shiraz. LFG not available locally - export only.

DItto. have a fair amount in the cellar. Not averse to Margaret River Cab/Sav but too elegant for rugby matches.

And we wonder why the game is losing touch with the common man, 90% of the posters on here have wine cellars!

Don't worry, they're talking about simps and NFTs in the Reds thread

We've had a Vintec wine fridge for 15 years. But we live in SE Qld in a high rise apartment, could not imagine life without it. Its not a luxury, it is an essential.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

There is a LFG Wine but it stands for Lets F*cking Go. Drew Bledsoe Wines

Let's Explore Drew Bledsoe Wine - Weinnotes

This is how I came about buying three bottles of Drew Bledsoe Wine, a 2018 Doubleback Cab. When they were delivered, I was excited and scared at the same time. I knew they were young and I should wait, like many years, but how can one wait when you’ve never had them before. I needed to see if I...

Our first pour, the 2019 LFG Pinot Noir, comes from the Wind Ridge in Southern Oregon and LS Estate Vineyards in Eola Amity. LFG stands for Let’s F’in Go! For the starter wine of the evening, I was more than pleased. Owen Bargreen’s review of the wine: Aged in neutral oak, the ‘LFG’ shows pretty red florals with red currants and shades of red raspberry on the nose. The texture here is insanely good as beautiful guava, red cherry and pomegranate seed with orange rind all collect momentum on the palate. The minerality here is outstanding as this beautiful wine will cellar well for another decade. Drink 2021-2031- 93

I have a couple of Magill Estates, not Barossa but a single vineyard shiraz from Penfolds in Adelaide (no longer available I understand), and a few Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier waiting for a RWC or Bledisloe victory.
