How long has PT been a project player for. It’s been one long project ….
Some of the Aussies have been naughty boys
Wallabies representatives Marika Koroibete, Isi Naisarani and Pone Fa’amausili won’t be eligible for selection in this Saturday’s Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks following a late night drinking session.
Three days out from the all-important match at Eden Park, the Wallabies released a statement explaining why the trio would not take the field.
“The group had dinner and drinks at the team hotel last Saturday night after a full training week, prior to a training free day,” reads the Rugby Australia statement. “Three players breached team protocols by continuing to drink alcohol well beyond an agreed time.
“As such, Marika Koroibete, Pone Fa’amausili and Isi Naisarani will not be considered for selection for this weekend’s match.
“There was no illegal behaviour, no damage and no complaints made. No further investigation will take place, or any further action.”
I drink and I forget things.

Funny though, that 3 brothers achieve to play for their country at the same time. Has that ever occured before? In other sports?
Still nothing on

I complained as it was not listed but now is. Though still listed as TBC.
I asked rugbypass liverugby.net and they said it was a no “at this stage” whatever at this stage means.
Can’t believe I might not get to see this !!!

I wish there was a one-stop channel for all rugby, but football calls the shots, rugby is little more than an add-on for the big broadband players

Nope, they're the best ABs lock partnership I've seen.
Can't wait to watch Guzzler ripping into it again now that he has a few miles on the clock.
