By "everyone", do you mean me and the other 2 Mungos? :)
If so I can tell you that at least 33.333% of them gave up after Super Rugby.
Maybe, but it seems the Disciplinary Committee are not so gun-shy. Personally I'd suggest a "Cement Truck" ;). Their comments re mitigation and the low degree of force seem to suggest it might be...
Rona has been top of my wish list for a long time. He answers the 13 question and then some. I've watched most of Irish's outings this year and he's either MoM or thereabouts every week. At 30 he's...
Meanwhile, in another news scoop; former Irish Bog Snorkeling champion Phil McKavitty has announced he's coming out of retirement to enter the World Paint Drying Championship in attempt at dual...
The hair pull is not the issue. The double-hand strike to Swain's face, which 4 blind men missed is. Deserves a higher sanction than a very low force "headbutt" that would probably see Swain run out...
I think understand what foul play is. Force of contact is routinely considered. Common sense says the instigator was not put in any danger of injury. YC and a telling-off sufficient. Dead set.
OK, so it's a day later, watched a replay, and it hasn't changed my mind. I don't think Swains headbutt deserved red, though he'll likely get time. I'm unaware of any specific law that says that's...
Looks like my VPN is working fine. They missed me. :S
I've always leaned towards Ireland, as long as the Wobblies aren't involved. That just got dialled up a couple of notches.
Just watching the Origin wash-up. Andrew Johns mentioned that Nathan Cleary stayed at the craypot for one & a half hours after the Captain's Run practicing kicks to get used to the unfamiliar angles....
I'm not sure about that. More like what Gunny mentioned. Extras. First to training, last to leave. Johnny Wilkinson, Matt Burke, Nathan Cleary, Andrew Johns - some of the ones I know did that - &...
Fuxed.

Not sure. It's long been thought that NZ, along with other smaller, mainly SH unions are short-changed for NH tours.
This is a different kettle of fish altogether as NZ holds the whip hand this...
Let's not get carried away too soon here. This is obviously a play to earn a better dividend from broadcast rights. Probably not an equal share. Just a better one. I'd expect nothing less. The most...
‘They are not good partners’: McLennan puts boot into Kiwis ... again..

Snob wins the internet for June '22!!
A coach from Soccer maybe? Graham Arnold has a great track record with rugby ball coaching. Maybe there's others.
Louis Lynagh injured and unavailable. Disappointing.
A lat shoulder charge on a player after he dropped the pill. Deserving of a RC for sure, but being the only player to earn one in 130 years of history will leave him with a bigger indelible black...
Well it actually wasn't but I found it on my TV. Hilarious.
NZ'ers whining about RA acting in their own interests. The hypocrisy is almost hilarious. Almost.
I'll leave the GRR discussion aside for now as I doubt it's got legs ATM. I'll just say that should the dispute with NZ over the carve-up of the SR pie become an unlikely split, I'd love to see an SR...
I don't know how they qualify and they are within their rights; but I've never liked the criteria extending beyond parents. Particularly in comparison with how hard it's been to re-qualify for a...
I have thought, quite a few times, about how much I've enjoyed the Aus derby matches for the past few years. It has obviously not been detrimental to our competitiveness either. I'll plead ignorance...
