    (2022 Rugby Championship - Round 5) - Australia V New Zealand (15/9/2022) [Bledisloe 1]

    I say the referee was being clear with his instruction to Foley. We play. We play. 10. We Play. But yes, ref might have ruined the match. Funny seeing a time wasting penalty in a game where the ball is likely only in hand for 35 or so minutes.

    (2022 Rugby Championship - Round 5) - Australia V New Zealand (15/9/2022) [Bledisloe 1]

    The penalty against New Zealand, in the first instance looked harsh to me as well. Its debatable the Australian tackler ever released, then got to his feet, and was supporting his own weight while playing the ball. That's just another interpretation allowed in the game that is basically the...

    (2022 Rugby Championship - Round 5) - Australia V New Zealand (15/9/2022) [Bledisloe 1]

    Good to see that. He says enough times to Foley to get on with it. Calls "10", Foley not paying attention. | Foley says something about "we were just under a lot of pressure". Like, who cares? Still looked quite harsh. As a neutral, its quite funny actually.

    (2022 Rugby Championship - Round 5) - Australia V New Zealand (15/9/2022) [Bledisloe 1]

    I watched the full tape of the incident. What is abundantly clear is that the OZ backs are gesticulating with Foley to "kick the f7cking thing into touch", and Foley is clearly blagging for time. In the spirit of time being wasted in the entire world of rugby, it may be harsh, but the ref told...

    (2022 Rugby Championship - Round 5) - Australia V New Zealand (15/9/2022) [Bledisloe 1]

    I read there was a bit of controversy, so just watched highlights. What they don’t show is ref had apparently stopped clock. He then started clock (did he) and told foley to get on with it. Bit harsh, but if the ref tells you twice to get on with it, and you still stand there, you taking...

    Offensive Team Names

    Agree with this...... As for Wasps. Now is that standing for what I think it stands for? Or, did someone just get stung - a lot?

    Concession Speech

    Bit too short, but i like it. I could make that my speech on the piece of paper though........... Then just sit down.

    Scrum Feed

    As a former scrum half, I must agree, and add my 2 bits. Feeding the scrum? Its a joke. Can hookers not hook any more? No need to. Joke! As is the untouchable scrum half standing in his (I'm about to box kick) pose, at the back of the ruck. I want to see forwards pile through as soon as...

    Concession Speech

    Need some ideas for a "jovial/bitter" concession speech. You see, I was captain of a provincial side that lost to an underdog some 30 years ago. It was a close rubbish game (13-9 or something) , but a game we normally would have won by 30 plus points. No point going into the minutiae of the...

    [RWC2019][Semi-Final 1] England vs. New Zealand (26/10/2019)

    I might be missing something here, and understand he has had injury issues too, but If I am an ABs coach, I try my best to get Dane Coles on the field from the off. Impact players were in short supply for NZ yesterday. Hindsioght and all that, but Coles is a special player for me. Agree too...

    [RWC2019][Semi-Final 1] England vs. New Zealand (26/10/2019)

    My lasting impression on that game - despite all the wonderful defending we did - was just how much pressure England were able to exert with ball in hand. Tuilagi, Itoje, Vunipola and co made extra metres with each carry, and broke the gain line every time. An unprecedented display considering...

    As happy as Nigel Owens after the welsh result, no doubt.

    Rugby is being ruined

    Sorry for my ignorance, but where these injuries sustained as a result of dirty or foul play? I honestly do not know. I am wondering of their relavance to high tackles or late hits, or dirty play. Permanent injury in any sport is terrible. The only quadruplegic injury I know from rugby...
