...and I'm not. I get no joy from Australia winning cricket anymore...... I detest the culture that Waugh, Ponting brought in and is perpetuated by Warner et al....shameful stuff

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the tradition is that the immediate post match interview, when everyone is watching, is when you acknowledge the effort of the other team.......he didn't..and it was in stark contrast to Stephen Moore's gracious comments....and he has form on doing this....

Here is your proof - http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/video-mccaw-not-ready-to-call-it-quits---rugby-world-cup-final-2015110107#axzz3qIMwz575 Word for word .....and in the post match interview against Scotland game I clearly recall Moore saying Scottish supports should be very proud of their team...

Stephen Moore - Graciousness epitomised I might get a tirade from this, as Ritchie is seen as a God in NZ - he can do no wrong.... The ABs are deserved winners - clearly the best team for past 8 years... but I think Stephen Moore showed top form in his very gracious immediate post-match...

I'm sure that Cheika and the Wallabies will show plenty of respect for Wales and select a strong side. Since 2011 the scores have been very close - the highest difference being no more than 8, and often much closer last gasp wins for the Wallabies. Even with the injury toll, Wales have world...

O'Conner is not a weak defensive kink. He's had blokes like Nonu, Keiran Reid and De'villiers running at him for the past four years in Super Rugby and Tri-Nations tests. His defence is one of the reasons he jas been picked at 10 over Quade Cooper who is a toll gate. With George Smith shadowing...

If all this internecine family bickering by Lions fans on this site is indicative of what is going on in the Lions camp, then the Wallabies will be facing an unhappy rabble. Somehow I think not... </SPAN> All coaches have to make controversial and tough calls......and these players are...

George Smith's inclusion is a major call. Experience of a 100+ tests will come in handy. He will relish this contest and make a big difference as the best pilferer from either squad......I hope he reads the ref right and does not give away too many penalities. Feel sorry for Liam Gill - he has...

Hallo ! Hallo everyone up in he northern hemisphere !! Remember the ELVs ?? The scrum problems had been fixed with the short arm penalty rule used in the experimental law variations. The SH played a full year of these rules at club, province and international levels in 2008. The best year of...

Wallabies Team released: Australia: Kurtley Beale; Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christian Leali'ifano, Joe Tomane; James O'Connor, Will Genia; Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Ben Mowen, James Horwill (c), Kane Douglas, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Benn Robinson. Reserves: Saia Fainga'a...

Walabies Team released: Australia</SPAN>: Kurtley Beale; Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christian Leali'ifano, Joe Tomane; James O'Connor, Will Genia; Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Ben Mowen, James Horwill (c), Kane Douglas, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Benn Robinson. Reserves: Saia...

That is a shame for the big fella. They lose some experience and presence ....but the replacement will still be a top performer. That is the dilemma playing the Lions - every replacement is a another bloody good player. Who will it be ? Parling ? His named to be playing the Rebels this week -...

Great game. Gripping stuff. Plenty of running. Did not get bogged down in scrums. 4 great tries. As predicted Foloua was a sensation but Ioane was a bit quiet - he is most damaging in broken play. North a sensation - they'll try not to kick to him again.... Aussie pack aimed up and got...

Pack Weights The SMH has published the two squads with height/ weights. A surprise to me is that the run-on Wallaby pack has a 19kg weight advantage. Consider the bench forwards and it whittles down to 4kg but for all the hype about the monsterous Lions pack ""slabs of red meat".....they are...

Folau not good on defence ??? How did you come to that finding ??? Folau played 90 top level rugby league games for two of the best sides - Melbourne Storm and then the Brisbane Bronos. He then went on to play 7 internationals for the Kangaroos. Leaguies can tackle, the backs do a lot on 1:1...

I don't see much difference or advantage between the respective backlines - both class outfits but Israel Folau being picked on the wing ...this bloke may make a difference. 6'5", 100 kg. Starting in Rugby elague, switching to Aussie Rules ( for $1m bucks or so) he has played only 13 games...

England absolutely demolishing the Wallaby scrum in 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uynys0SY1Q Have a closer look...completely different front row to the A team - Daley, Faingaa and Ma'afu........it was a front row injury crisis at the time.... Wales dismantling the Wallaby scrum in...

That "scrum advantage" may just dissolve before your eyes…..it is a long time since the Australian front row has been pushed around. The dark days of the marshmallow pack are over 6 years ago. The front row are not mugs – Stephen Moore (76 caps) and Benn Robinson (56 caps) in particular don’t...

What the article does reveal is that the Wallabies have plenty of class backs to choose from - but under the Dean's watch he has not been able to stick with a selection to develop instintive combinations as it was with Horan-Little-Roth-Latham or Gregan/Larkham. This may be their downfall...

I heard that a lot of people are ignorant of real facts and have not kept up on current form. There is not a single leagie in the Wallabies pack - the same pack who outmuscled the All blacks a few weeks ago, recently smashed the Boks B team and beat the Boks A team, the same pack with the form...
