Mark Connolly Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Some start by Queensland. Suncorp is the best stadium I have ever experienced for atmosphere - was there for the 1st Lions Test in 2013, and the noise was unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Absolutely detest the rule that says you have to "play at" the ball - the ball there went out because it hit the Qld player, but they got the scrum! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Some game. I said before - there can't be many other regular fixtures in any sport that produce such high quality every single time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 As "dead rubbers" go in sport that was as good as it gets. Last 5 minutes were unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Samoa through to the World Cup, beating Germany 42-28 in the 2nd leg, was tied at 28 all with 5 minutes to go, but 2 late tries sealed it for Samoa. Germany though were the better team, just let down by their front row in the scrum, or could have taken the victory. Samoa although some great individual runs, looked like they had never met each other before never mind trained or played togetherEdit to add Germany led 16-15 at half time, only watched 2nd half as I was having a scroll through Facebook and saw it was on live 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folk that run the 16th Warrior and went to the blazers to campaign to get that, quite frankly, unfair and ridiculous decision overturned really are diamonds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Jacobsen Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 A shame he's had to retire at a relatively young age. The neck is an especially delicate area and if it's potentially the difference between him walking or not walking in later life, completely the correct decision. I'm sure he'll have some sort of backroom job at Blues in the near future if he wants it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ITV have the rights as they have the World Cup rights. With only highlights being shown on ITV4 1hr on Saturday, 1hr on Sunday and 1hr 5min on Monday with only the Saturday highlights starting before 2300 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
