    Not seen the other game, but well done to the Irish. What a feeling it must be for those guys on the pitch. 111 years!

    I meant Kearney must have been to make them not totally one-dimensional (that is to say, keep Johnson interested) and don the Australians a few times. Hopefully he can do something with the Warr... Nah, he isn't a genius.

    Brian McClennan also won the Tri-Nations, (in fact, he broke the aussie domination) so the benchmark can't possibly be that high.

    Rugby League getting in its own way again. I wonder if Jason Smith and his cocaine syndicate were involved at all?

    Valentine Holmes into full-back, and enough salary cap room to tie the rest of the squad down for another few years. I bet Michael Ennis spiked his drink.

    Jason Smith.

    Apparently it was a different Jason Smith? I didn't know about the story at all, and just looked it up then.

    It was former Queensland legend Jason Smith that sold cocaine to players in AFL and League.

    Smith was incredible at Hull, and you could make a case for him being the best import of the Super League era with Jamie Lyon and Lesley Vainikolo.

    Nickname was God? Both him and his brother Darren were favorites of mine during Origin. I think if Jason played for the Broncos he would be spoken of more regularly.

    The press wanted more than two words out of Wayne Bennett, and they got it:

    To be candid with you again, I just don't read anything you write anymore. I haven't read it for over a decade now and I don't watch television shows. As soon as I see something on rugby league come on, I turn it off. So I'm immune to anything you say out there. It doesn't interest me... Well if I had a choice, I wouldn't do it (media). It's not what I want to do. I want to coach. That's what my priority is. I see lots of guys doing interviews and they're just wasting your time and your space, not making any sense. They're just playing the game. I can't play the game unfortunately.

    'Even if I was seething with Wayne Bennett, which I'm not because he is seething with me, I don't care what he thinks anyway. What have I got to prove?'
    'Right, so...'

    By all accounts they just phoned it in and never got going, but lol anyway since they had a strong side out. We only have to win tomorrow to get to the final (I think a draw works, but I can't be bothered to check, since both are unlikely), so Australia ought to do the decent thing and throw the game like they used to blatantly do on Kangaroo Tours.

    A draw will see England through.

    Sounds like we had a shocker, although the reports are already saying the ref didn't help the situation much.

    It must be up there with the biggest shocks in [international] rugby league (with that time France nearly beat Australia in 2004, and probably some black and white matches), and good for them, but this will just make people think that Scotland deserve resources when it doesn't.

    One of the most Twickers statements I've ever seen, that.

    Not exercising my Scotland season ticket today due to being on call so I'll need to wait for next Saturday to take my place at Murrayfield.

    I almost went today, unsure whether that's a close shave or a missed opportunity.

    Yeah, but we're playing a proper team.

    Rugby really frustrates me. Every time I advance my level of understanding - I now even know what 'crash ball' is - the commentators and analysts seem to add another three levels of complexity on top of what they seemed to be talking about before. Stuart Barnes might as well be speaking Afrikaans.

    What a kick that is. Don't agree on the try though, looked like a knock on to me.

    I missed the reasoning given for it not being a knock-on, or wasn't it given?

    I wasn't sure it went forward at that point, but trying to claim that Pat 'pimp my genes' Lambie had got a hand on it was a bit of a stretch from M. Garces.

    I'm not sure it was given other than the TMO didn't think it was knocked on. Looked it to me as well as the grounding being dodgy.

    I have a growing hatred for all the animated/live action headshots of players, they do it for football too. Mainly because I can just imagine the miserable day spent in your kit posing like a tosser.

    It's just there to put a dodgy one in the bank to hark back to when England get shafted by Francois Mc(long white)Cleod in a match of consequence.

    How must Chris Robshaw feel filming all those adverts in his full kit? You basically can't move in suburban SW London without seeing him come from around a corner promoting some kind of financial product.
