I’ve since reviewed it and had a “ expert “ ( bloody New Zealand mate) watch it with me and I agree with both Bobby and the ref.

There was no penalty in that.
The lions own the series fair 😭

We don’t need a new coach or new players we need a much better management structure at the top and run by the Saudi Arabia Rebel league to properly fund both the clubs, players and grassroots rugby too advance Rugby in Australia.

I really enjoy rugby, then NFL and league.

With management with integrity and hundreds of millions to spend Rugby could totally knock NRL off the 2nd spot of most popular football in Australia.

AFL is and always will be the most popular.

Yep - each Aussie team member can fill out this form:

But Rugby Union has proven to be the superior code in regards to male development, character, personal success in life after sport and relationships.
League & Rules seem to bring out the worst. With players often involved with drug & alcohol issues, domestic violence, gambling and other unlawful afflictions.
Rugby Union culture is a more positive influence like high academia and technical careers, rather than doing adverts like Lowes. Roll Eyes

That's why they were called Rah Rah Rich Boys.

Nothing like inherited wealth & success ey?

I watched the game again and it the wallabies just didn’t look like a national team. More like a team of individuals. I give Italy congratulations for the stunning upset.

Yes. Italy play a good game. They can beat France, Eire, Scot, Eng and Wales when the weather suits them so to speak. They have that Venice football streak in them.
They played a patient game against the Wallabies and knew they would be their own worse enemy -as always.

I agree with you Dave, as does David Campese. It's the management that needs new selection. But also, not since Eales days, has the Wallabies seemed physically up to the modern standard.

If that is the case it's because of a better EDUCATIONAL CULTURE more than anything else.
A culture that tells them that they can make more money than just being a beta male class worker who needs a Union to get them tips left on the table. It teaches them to create business and employ guys who play AFL & NRL after the game.
It's more about Education than inheritances. If so, it's a minority slacker spoiled group than anything.
A lot of their professions are physically hard too. Like one surgeon I worked for. Ex Randwick player, who did 25 hour long operations.

PNG deserves a better sporting culture than pleb class NRL.
You know, the type of guys (AFL) too who don't know how to handle lots of money for want of drugs, alcohol and other flippant self indulgence of self destruction, etc.

You know the Haka is based on a Maori chief who hid from his enemies under the fat bums of his women and raised again in mocking Haka when they were gone. Based on cowardess.
