NPR

Whilst this is a much, much better site than PR with regards to ease of use, there's not much OZ rugby discussion here, so I'm finding myself back at PR most of the time.

Quick attempt at an Oz team. 6 familes. A few playing out of position. If they have to be capped then this team's no good.

1. JP Smith
2. Saia Fainga'a
3. Ruan Smith
4. Rory Arnold
5.Richie Arnold
6. Angus Scott-Young
7. Sam Scott-Young
8. Toutai Kefu
9. Matt Giteau
10. Mark Ella
11. Kristy Giteau ...

Anyone know what the deal is with watching this on Stan? Do you get it with a standard Stan subscription or is it an extra?


Add on to a regular Stan subscription. I think it's about $10 a month for a Stan subscription and an extra $10 for access to Stan Sport.


OK, $20/month isn't too bad I ...

Not sure that's there's many Aussies on this bored, but here's the Reds 2021 squad anyway...

Something a bit different...

Wobs named. With Toomua and now JOC also out injured, we have a 10/12/13 with almost no test experience. Scary stuff.

So what are the options to replace South Africa in the tournament?

- Australia A?
- NZ A?
- NZ Maori?
- A Pacific Island team comprised of eligible players from NZ and Aust?
- How quickly can Fiji get together?


One of those latter two would be ideal. :thumbup:

Hard to believe the Reds got as close as they did. Shit lineout, shit kicking game, and a constant stream of stupid penalties. Lineout in particular was hard to watch, how could they get it so wrong?

Very good player for the Brumbies, deserves to go out on a winning note. Shame.

Why the fuck haven't you Brumbies supporters started a match thread yet? Lazy cunts.

Reds by plenty.

I'm happy with the Reds as they are. Maybe a backup flyhalf.

They'd have to spent a few months at Comrade Brad's Re-Education Camp (TM) though. You know, learning how to be a man and such.


Your team is full of young up and coming stars. Really don't need to change a thing, as a lot of ...

Good win by the Reds, although they were pushed by the rebels who were a bit unlucky they didn't score another try or 2. Reds defence has been great the last few games,

Hopefully Petaia's on deck for the final.

You can see the fullback starting to back off, there's no way he wanted anything to do with that tackle. I can imagine his when Thor decided to fall over and drop the ball.

No, I've really liked the Oz Super rugby comp. No real desire to see it go back to what it was. All the OZ teams have been competitive, even the Force have had some decent games. And I think the standard has been improving each week, which is probably a confidence thing - it must have been hard to ...

I tried looking it up yesterday and Bassons was a name that popped up, it seems to fit but it didn't make me think yep, that's the name.


Yeah, I don't think it was Bassons, I'm almost certain it was an Italian and I think it was Lance himself that chased him down.

Ah, that incident. It ...

pushing in stools... ( sorry)

Both of them.

RA have massive debts, no long term broadcast deal, no decision made on what the Super comp will look like next year, and all they current players have taken a pay cut this season. Seems unlikely they would be splashing around that amount of money at the moment on a 17 year old kid.

Weird being at the ground with everyone so spaced out. Odd atmosphere. Hard to get an idea of the crowd size, but I'd be surprised if it cracked 10k.

Pretty average performance from the Reds I thought, but farken happy we won.

PUMPED FOR THIS GAME YES INDEED

Junior training in the school holidays? Easts have a couple of weeks off. No wonder Sunnybank always beat us...

Stole this from another thread, but I think it deserves to be in here ...

Going to this tonight. Our usual members seats around halfway have been moved into a corner spot, but I won't be complaining if the Reds get the win. Must be 6 or 7 years since we've beaten these cunts!

I don't like it. Too bright.

I used a colour picker to grab it from Ella jersey in the pic above, but yeah it's not great.

It will be interesting to see how their conditioning is. I reckon Thor might be back up to the 150kg mark.


Is it just me or does Taniela Tupou appear to be the kind of player who won't age well post Rugby? More Serge Blanco than Richie McCaw.


Yeah he'll need to be careful. But there's ...
