Exactly! Thousands of referees sitting up in the stands can’t always be right.

'Going to be carnage': Lions fans in meltdown as ref accused of 'mind blowing' gaffe named for Wallabies Test

No whingeing. Just get on the field and keep the defeat as minimal as possible.

'Going to be carnage': Lions fans in meltdown as ref accused of 'mind blowing' gaffe named for Wallabies Test

In view of the New Zealand Rugby Union’s attitude to the dismissal of the idea of not having a Rugby Test match scheduled on ANZAC Day makes a mockery of not only the All Blacks who lost their lives but all New Zealanders who have served their country. In the First World War for instance of the over 3000 New Zealanders who served in the AIF, 14 were of Māori descent.

'I'm sleeping well': Kiss adamant Reds haven't taken their eye off the ball despite Wallabies' coaching hunt

And thanks Les for promoting all those Queensland Rugby players who have either served or paid the Supreme Sacrifice remembered in gratitude this coming ANZAC Day.

That aside is anyone able to tell me if Wally or Dally Messenger enlisted in the First World War? I’m wanting to know if these great Kangaroo players or others went to War serving in the AIF for an ANZAC Day tribute I have to present?

Fighting fire with fire: Will player power Galvinise Benji’s angry Tigers?

Well done girls but has anyone taught you humility? The first thing I was taught was to shake hands with your opposition before ever celebrating. Especially in a game called rugby union. “Always be humble in victory because defeat can always be around the corner.” Now what was the name of that great Australian captain who said that?

Waratahs run away from Reds to seal consecutive Super Rugby W titles as Miller, Friedrichs star

Is he going to be the architect of flair and attacking rugby? After tonights game the Waratahs have stepped up nine paces unlike the Reds.

And maybe, just maybe someone else may be in for the coaching job if rugby is to be played like this! Attacking rugby where you maintain possession can bring success.

Still not enough! Need to promote the game by getting traction as much as possible. Not hiding behind a screen wall for the fish-heads and corporates in Sydney and Brisbane.

More winners than losers from Rugby Australia’s new broadcast deal, even though casual viewers appear to miss out

More exposure for rugby union please!

More winners than losers from Rugby Australia’s new broadcast deal, even though casual viewers appear to miss out

Rugby needs exposure and with the BILions tour coming up along with the World Cup in a couple of years time the window of opportunity is limited. The next big thing will be the Olympics 2028 and here at home in 2032. FTA is vitally important. The other morning I nearly broke my jaw when stumbling into the lounge with the television on showing the ABC’s “Offsiders” programme. There was Fill War given a chance to discuss rugby on what is an NRL/ VFL programme. I can understand how NRL can have an offside rule but VFL? Blow me down though this bloke from the Australian Rugby Union was very very articulate.

Good on him!

Israel Folau dragged Australian rugby through the mud. RA can't allow him to face the Lions

We’ve arranged a Cooks Tour for you to Gaza for ANZAC Day where you can put a poppy on the memorial where the ANZACS are named.

You have nothing to worry about then so why bother mentioning it?

Didn’t she come from a league background?

So are we also going to castigate his wife, Mrs Folau, one of the greatest New Zealand netball representatives who without doubt would stand by her husband’s convictions? No more toxic than the man on the moon. As we used to say in the Navy -Fear God Dread Naught.

Israel Folau dragged Australian rugby through the mud. RA can't allow him to face the Lions

Have you managed to ask all those Super Rugby players as to whether or not they agree with Folau? I find it quite grating that commentators dare not ever make mention of all those players who point to a higher being having scored a try. A million and a half of Australian servicemen and women have sworn on a Bible to make the sacrifice on the playing fields of battle. Amazing how the wheel has turned and murders and crime are a common place daily event. So much for our new utopia.

n recent weeks I know more about Ramadan than I ever knew about Christianity and supposedly it’s Easter! !

No! No! No!

EXCLUSIVE: DCE to sign bombshell contract with Reds, Wallabies debut for Bledisloe Cup looms

Oh my! I can now see those Lions tickets in the $2999 category going at a lot cheaper price based on this result. This provides a true perspective of where we’re at.

'Harsh lesson for us': Jorgensen's Lions campaign in doubt after devastating injury during Tahs' shocker in NZ

Summed it up precisely. Who came up with this nonsense about some mercenary chasing the big bucks? Get him to close the door handle on the outside.

'Hell of a player': All Blacks coach says 'door open' for Ponga code switch

They have some very good individuals. And I do like their up and coming full-back Blair Murray. Jac Morgan is a certainty with the Tongan terrier Faletau a possibility to tour yet again. Botham was looking good but what’s happened to him in recent internationals?

Predicted Lions and Wallabies lineups for first Test after surprising Six Nations shake-up

It’s too early to judge how Auckland will go this season but believe you me Vern Cotter is the man for the job.

Vern Cotter's codswallop suggests All Blacks, and the Blues, have an honesty problem

He’s letting down not only the purity of rugby union generally but he is also letting down the good name of Ned Kelly.
