    They are professional athletes. They should already know how to tackle. Don't incentivise going to school by reducing the punishment. Their incentive should be to learn how to not do it again so it doesn't cost them caps or money from missing games

    These short guys really need to stop thinking they can get taller, just accept your height, much like I accept being fat and bald.

    @booboo Wonder what might have been the outcome had they had testing in the 60s and 70s?

    Yeah, I saw that. I assume it was just a typo from Sky.

    @booboo Showing us a video from eight years ago, just in case the next eight weeks don’t go as planned.

    Sad really, we’re in danger of turning into England banging on about 2003 yet again.

    As long as we don't turn into England banging on about 1966

    When athletes test positive to clenbuterol, the excuse of eating contaminated meat always comes up ,

    Wait for it , it’s coming .

    Good to see Eddie issuing more warnings 😉

    Eddie Jones’ warning for All Blacks before ‘real battle’ with France

    Eddie Jones’ warning for All Blacks before ‘real battle’ with France

    Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has warned the All Blacks that “they’ve got two weeks” to get ready for a red-hot France side who recorded an emphatic win over Australia on Sunday evening.

    i for one would like that thank Eddie for his incredible ability to read a calendar. Definitely saved us the embarrassment of turning up a week late.

    Would have been nice of him to give us a heads up about the SA game, as it appears we forgot all about it until an hour before kick off

    @mariner4life also last time he issued a warning we heeded said warning and played pretty well.

    Eddie does spend a bit much time talking about NZ, but TBF the article isnt really quite what the headling indicates.

    Top 12 teams going into the tournament. Of note is that Fiji and Argentina are the highest ranked teams in their pools.
