    ESPN Scrum.com Australian Site

    I read Scum.com was launching an Australian site. Pretty sad to see that it seems to be just more of the same. 12 articles on the front page. None of them about our team. Most dissappointing of all? They have hired the sacked SMH Chief Rugby Correspondant and his first contribution? A dribble-a-thon about why Super Rugby should forget expansion, forget a third tier, circle the wagons and give more money to club Rugby in Brisbane, Sydney and Canbreea. FFS.

    Evidence that you apparently don't need to even watch rugby to write on it.

    I have never seen McCaw snapped at by a frustrated ref and essentially told to shut his yap before I do something about it.

    As for dominating the breakdown? I didn't see a domination, if anything he played below himself. I thought Gill schooled him on getting to the breakdown early and securing possession where Pocock was immovable once he got there.

    I think Bam has worked too much on Bulk, Michael hooper is looking more and more like the openside that Bam used to be before he decided that looking like a condom full of walnuts was the best option.

    After seeing that the ESPN site did not carry any stories about the Force, I thought I might scout the other main Rugby websites. Rugby Heaven, Rugby Gold, ABC Online (mobile)& The Oz. They all have abt 20 articles up. NONE have stories about the Force except brief mentions in stories about The Rabble's win.

    I always think about a certain Kevin Wilson song when I think about the force living next door to Alan when he is on about calling Ben lexen and getting another yacht twice as big and twice as fast as what I've already got...... That'll Fcukem

    Sums up what the force have down with their back line from last season to this I can't wait to see the force click into gear take this conference by storm and see all us EWF supporters on mass proverbially biatch slap the journalists from over east

    20-something new stories on these sites today. We still don't rate a mention. Isn't this the first match for a new franchise? Maybe they rate even less than us. They got an even shittier start-up deal than we did, so maybe.
