I watched the game on TV, and they showed that the Spirit pack was 120kg lighter than Qld Country. So, that probably had a bit to do with why the got monstered a couple of times. They did well to...

Not surprisingly, a similar story from Chris Dutton in the Canberra Times:
...
I thought that at the time as well, that when he'd seen the foul play it should have been the higher "ranking" offence and should have been the one being penalised. Niggle was always going to happen...
I think it's a stretch to say England were a class above and good to watch. They got their win last night through sheer doggedness in defence, and a lack of invention from the Wallabies in attack. I...
Nobody hates to see England winning more than me, and the sight of some of those arrogant b*****s in the England team celebrating last night was hard to take...! But, to be fair to them, their...
It's at these times you need your leaders and influential/experienced players to step up and pull the rest along. To be honest though, they didn't really have time in the first half to respond to the...
I know this isn't keeping with the topic of this thread, but surely the players have to take some accountability for game management, and not flood the breakdown if they see that the opposition...
No denying the Force performance was dire last night, but I'd have to agree with another couple of posts criticising the referees. The Phipps try in particular was a poor decision, but Waratahs in...
Definitely inconsistent from the ref, but I thought as long as the replacement had propping experience (not specifically LH or TH), then scrums could be contested. It was only when no prop...
Can we not just go back to naming him...? There's probably quite a few "little Scotsmen" kicking around the rugby scene in WA, who don't want to be caught up in this....??
A bit late with the April Fools......or have Canada finally got fed up having America as a neighbour and joined the EU instead...?
I didn't see the Hurricanes game, but to me in today's game they seemed to throw in the towel after conceding the try following Cottrell's sin binning. Up to that point they were still in the game. I...
Yep, bring it on, we need all the help we can get................but, maybe France need it more just now...???
I totally agree. I'm not sure of how the laws were changing this year, but I remember in the build-up to the Super Rugby season all the talk was of "what will the Brumbies do, now that their main...
Yeah, if we'd taken one of those lineouts, especially the one on the Brumbies line, I think we could maybe have swung the result. There was such a swing in momentum with the Force at that point.
...
It was difficult to swallow that result last night (....or at least the margin of the Brumbies win), when you look at the improvement in the team performance from the Force (apart from lineouts),...
To be fair, and I think Greg Martin is an a**e most of the time as well, but I'm pretty sure he'd referred to DHP as the 2nd best Full Back in Aus before the game started on Saturday.
Just what I was going to say, and I have no doubt that the current Scotland coach (Vern Cotter) has a lot more ability than Richard Graham...!
I'm good with the win too. It's a much better feeling having a Win against our name than a loss. Sure, they made mistakes - a lot of spilled ball again (but the Reds did the same), scrums weren't...
You're on a hiding to nothing playing a team like the Force played yesterday. If they had won by a mile, it would have been a case of the opposition being too easy, and now because it was close...
I agree that it would be good to have something to fill the rugby void in the summer months, but I don't know if a Sevens tournament would necessarily develop players into Super Rugby standard. A...
Wallabies can hold their heads high after that performance though, they gave the ABs a good run for their money. It'll be interesting to see how the ABs go over the next couple of years though, but I...
Yep. I was at the '91 RWC final at Twickenham supporting Australia - along with almost all other non-English supporters. I'm pretty sure the Wallabies were underdogs going into that final, but they...
Final post from me on this thread (......and possibly ever, to be honest). All I've tried to do with my posts throughout this thread was to reply from a Scottish point of view. I still say, as I did...
Haven't read that report or seen the footage, but definitely no place for that sort of thing...! It shouldn't have stopped him from shaking hands with the players in the tunnel though.......unless of...
