    Wayne Barnes Retires

    I read this yesterday and I refuse to believe any rugby people took part in this shameful acts of abuse, it must've been some of the "new fans" we're trying to incorporate This is one of the negative aspects of rugby becoming more mainstream: the loss of our old values and standards, the slow...

    Wayne Barnes Retires

    Balls of steel and a class act, his banter with Goode was phenomenal This man calls me a f***** cheat, he leaves the field With the new laws and controversy, he'll be sorely missed

    The decline of Australian rugby. Is there a way out?

    Yeah, the video states those three aspects, those are the only three concepts or core ideas explicitly mentioned, but they alone they cannot hold the case from a logic point of view; they need some unstated premises, one of them I think would be the fact that competition is a key factor in...

    The decline of Australian rugby. Is there a way out?

    I don't know if the comparison between Jaguares and Wallabies works tho The key factor would be that the wallabies were comprised of two teams, and they competed against one another, something that Jaguares never had. One of the unsaid points at the beginning of the video is that the...

    Rugby World Cup 2023 - retrospective

    You are the first one to point out (1), which is a crucial point in any world cup, especially the model that WR copies, FIFA. Many times over the last decades minor teams defeat the big dogs and the pool stages become a mess (I don't like football but I remember Germany last WC), and then the SF...

    [RWC 2023 Final] New Zealand v South Africa 28/10/23 20:00 BST

    I don't see the pommies complaining about being universally loathed, they literally have an annual competition in which defeating them is 95% of the fun for the other teams and they just accept it You should accept it too. Winning 4 out of 10 WC makes you Dr Evil of rugby and now everyone is...

    The Q everyone is asking: if NH and SH posters were to face each other in a rugby game...

    Rugby World Cup 2023 - retrospective

    I had very sweet memories from the 07 WC and in some aspects this edition didn't live up to the hype: anthems general atmosphere draw in pools everything else was perfect. Best rugby games in a long time in QF, tense semifinals (except ours) dramatic final between the best two teams in the...

    not looking good, our attack sucked major balls this RWC: no options, no imagination, the same old movements all the time like refried beans

    Sam Cane's press conference is the most soulcrashing thing I've seen in rugby lately, I really feel so sorry for him, he seems like a great bloke

    [RWC 2023 Final] New Zealand v South Africa 28/10/23 20:00 BST

    It's always been like that, it was when McCaw got away with it and it will always be like that, you love them when they're on your team and loathe them when they are on the other side. For 15 years or so I heard about richie and there will be many like him in the future Kwagga is a damn...
