All part of the Sir Eddie masterplan.
All part of the Sir Eddie masterplan.
Yarde having a mare, all over the place.
Jammy bastards.
That was a lovely try from Ben Youngs. He sold a dummy very much like that one for a try last week as well, didn't he?
Twice on the same guy against the Saffers.
Eddie, Eddie Jones. Eddie, Eddie Jones.
Cheika and 'Pep' should have a seethe-off.
This is all part of grumpy cunts plan to call up the entire NSW under 20 squad for next year. If Bernard 'fuck boy' Foley isn't the worst fly half to play then he must be close. How can a bloke be so bloody shit house at kicking from hand and from the tee?
Who is your best number ten? Is it still Quade Cooper really?
Matt Toomua and Kurtley Beale would be my first two but they both Play in England. Christian Lealiifano was on track to be the next Larkham but never recovered form after breaking his leg against the Lions and is being treated for leukemia. He is one of the biggest losses to Australian Rugby in recent years mainly because he is a gentleman and has no fuck wit in him at all.
The blokes that need a chance next year are Jono Lance, Kyle Godwin, Jack Debreczeni. Those 3 blokes are already more complete players at fly half than that fuck head who currently is wearing no. 10.
Poaching South African quota martyrs might be the best bet for 2019.
If it helps beat the All Blacks I don't care.
George North got knocked out again today after landing on his shoulder, what odds on him having to retire within a couple years?
Martyr wishlist would be 2 farm boy back rowers that can play 6/8 and 2 scumhalfs that are world class tactical Kickers with sniping running games.
I wonder whether the quota bollocks will get to a point where somebody seriously good has to be left out, at which point the black geezer in his place refuses to play.
You would have to think after a wooden spoon or another disastrous world cup that a few quota players would feel rather uncomfortable?
Or if they get touched up in a World Cup by an Australia/France/Japan (lol) packed with South Africans.
What would be cool is if a few went to Namibia and they went on to beat the quota Boks.
The quota stuff has worked really well in cricket because it's broken open the glass ceilings for black players and got it to a point where they're basically getting in the side anyway (you can scoff at the idea of glass ceilings, but sports coaches/scouts/selectors are fucking lazy and generally pick their mates). I don't see why it wouldn't work in rugby where the skillset is more limited.
It basically means shit white players find it harder. Boo hoo.
Rugby hasn't been that Successful yet. I lol but World Rugby needs South Africa strong to batter the All Blacks around.
The world could do with a few more people called Bismark.
Reminds me of 'Are we allowed to tackle Carter?'
Well, you can try.
My knowledge of cricket is limited by its pointlessness, but I would have thought you could carry a few crap black players down the order[s] easier than you can get away with having five tokens in your rugby team. Also, is it even a race thing so much as a class (admittedly linked to race) thing? The New Zealand league team is almost all non-white, and it can't be because white people get discriminated against (they even have age-for-weight rules now to stop fat Tongan man children crushing white nerds).
Brilliant. Not seen that one.
It's true though - put him in cotton wool before the World Cup.
And it's precisely those two things - the cotton wool treatment from refs (that Nonu tackle isn't a good example of that it's just the officiatirs making a mess of their justification) and the NZRU - that didn't endear him to NHers in the past few years.
McCaw as well.
He and Carter benefitted from only playing the premier games. NZRU are odious cunts too, with their capriciousness. The modern day idiots are fast turning Rugby's greatest team into a cynical brand.
Sorry, biannual anti-Kiwi rant over now.
You realize the Hurricanes and Crusaders are NZ teams right? And it's Hore and Nonu, both All Black team mates who know they need Carter to be fit for the best shot at winning the World Cup.
Of course we try and wrap our best/most skillful players of a generation in cotton wool to win the World Cup. It's common sense isn't it?
Yes I do. I also stated that the Nonu example was a bad one - it's not a late hit but a no arms/dangerous tackle so perfectly right to yellow him.
And yup - I get it. Just breeds resentment where other nations are unable to do so, that they entered into the last couple of RWCs off the back of hardly playing for the PST 12 months. There's no fairness in that resentment, it's just there. There was little resentment of NZ prior to 2007ish at all - myself and pretty much everyone I conversed with, friends and fellow attendees at rugby games, just had a great deal of love and respect for the AB's. But the combination of NZRU mishandling relations with other unions, their own players, their sense of entitlement, the desperation of the 'brand and spectacle' (stop doing the fucking Haka at home you cunts), has turned many against them somewhat.
Still love seeing the ABs play. It's just lost the sheen that once accompanied it in the Brooke and Lomu years.
Will Skelton has signed a short term contract with Saracens. I hope the can make his tight game more accurate and consistent.
Ben Barba to Japan has got disaster written all over it.
If he doesn't behave like an absolute idiot he will carve up Japanese Rugby. I would to see him play in the NRC over here as a trial for Super Rugby.
Huge News for Western Australian Rugby with the Bledisloe being played in Perth in 2019.
League doesn't stand a chance over there.
What do they play out west?
AFL, daylight, football, more daylight, Rugby Union.
We desperately need WA producing test players.
Isn't Perth full of South Africans? Western Force should become Western Quotas, and play in Springbok colours.
Todd 'Toddy' Carney. What a wanker. He almost kicked an eighty-twenty with his first touch of the ball in France, and then he got worse every week.
There must be a couple of clubs who could find a use for him (if - if - he could keep a lid on it), but the NRL will probably refuse to register him until he lamps his wife and cries into rehab.
He has to play Bush footy and commit to not pissing in his mouth first I reckon.
Sale unveiled him today, claiming to have done nothing wrong, so Classy Cas have filed for 'damages against Denny Solomona for breach of contract and for damages including exemplary damages against Sale Sharks Ltd and Andrew Clarke (his agent) for inducing breach of the said contract'.
60 weeks for Hartley
Whoops I misread. His total weeks since 2007 is 60.
How many of those were for calling Wayne Barnes a cheat?
11. I reckons he needs to think about moving in with Sir Eddie untill the next World Cup.
