    They should chase Taniela Tupou, Samu Kerevi, TJ Perenara, "a big bopper Number 8", I assume he's thinking of Ardie Savea

    In other words, he thinks they have holes at 3, 8, 9 and 12 (or more likely simply couldn't think of any big names to fill all the other numbers)

    He also said they do so much off the field to develop the women's and juniors game, so I would assume he's making another Reesjan Pasitoa needs to be a Wallaby tomorrow quote.

    One place at RWC2023 left. One of: Hong Kong, Kenya, Portugal & USA.

    The USA must be favorites, they usually (always?) qualify. Portugal have only been at a RWC once before, I think, and the last time it was held in France. Although they have success at sevens, I don't think Kenya have ever qualified, and nor have Hong Kong.

    Feature sports events should not be held at The Craypot in case it rains and AFL players might slip in the conditions.

    Should the stadium management do like HBF Park and tell the AFL to play elsewhere in those circumstances? Or should all AFL fixtures be cancelled when it rains in case somebody falls over?

    St Kilda coach Brett Ratten.............held some fears for his players’ safety heading into Sunday’s AFL clash with West Coast after heavy rain and two exhibition soccer matches left parts of the turf unstable............

    Having inflicted decades of Moorabin Oval on opposition teams, St Kilda would surely have to be taking the piss...??!!

    Kiwis seethe over 'disrespectful' flight bookings before World Cup semi-final
    James Regan - Yesterday 2:54 pm

    As if the Kiwis needed any extra motivation heading into this weekend's Rugby League World Cup semi final against Australia, tournament organisers have provided all the inspiration they need.

    They've reportedly already booked the NZ team on a flight home after the match, while the Aussies have a reservation at a Manchester hotel for a final they're not in yet.

    Suffice to say, the Kiwis are NOT happy.

    If they have a hangover from their shaky quarter-final performance, they certainly didn't show it at training - laser focused on a do-or-die semi and trying to ignore news their trip home to New Zealand is already booked.

    Veteran winger Jordan Rapana can see the funny side.

    "They'll probably lose some money, when they find out they have to reschedule it on Saturday," he laughed.

    Captain Jesse Bromwich isn't quite as amused.

    "It was pretty disrespectful," he said. "For it to be published like that, it's not on I reckon.

    "We spoke about it as a group."

    Bromwich is adamant it won’t provide any extra motivation. The prospect of facing their fiercest rivals for a spot in the World Cup final does more than enough to stoke the fire.

    "For us, as proud Kiwis, I think that's the main thing," he said. "Making our families and our fans back home really proud."

    Said Rapana: "We have a belief that we can go out and win this thing."

    They'll need a serious lift in performance. Bromwich reveals the stumbling display against Fiji prompted one of the biggest verbal sprays he's ever seen delivered by coach Michael Maguire.

    "He's a real passionate sort of coach, he was pretty fired up and it was good to see, because as a team, we felt it was pretty unacceptable, the way we started the game," said Bromwich.

    Said Rapana: "If we want to be genuine contenders for this World Cup title, we can't play the way we did against Fiji against Australia."

    As always, when they face their old rivals, the standard is higher, as are the stakes.

    The old "We spoke about it as a group" chestnut.
    They're toast now for sure.

    Note to Kiwis: you are not the All Blacks. Cop it on the chin and get on with it.

    Real estate agent jargon described this 1 year old Condell Park rental property as...“a new benchmark for the most superior products available for rent in South Western Sydney”. Should have left it at "close to schools, shops and transport" Of course none of our agents here in WA would use such hyperbole.
