Australia remain incredibly shite

Certainly seems that way. Will no doubt finish bottom of the Championship and be lucky to win any games.

This whole "he was receiving the player" stuff to mitigate guys getting shouldered in the head is absolute shite. Ethan Blackadder is 6'3 and was upright when he made contact to the head. The fact he was standing still should mean it's maybe a yellow rather than a red, but Gardner was trying to convince folk it wasn't even a penalty.

Argentina take an 8 point lead with 90s left

ETA: and they finish the job. That was a superb game, well deserved. Agustin Creevy has now scored 6 tries in his 109 caps - 4 of them against New Zealand

Our change colour from blue is blue?

This is going to be annoying when we play Italy in particular. What is it with rugby and kit clashes?

Eden Park is basically a PED at this stage. The All Blacks have gone 49 unbeaten there today since 1994 (47 wins, 2 draws), and are already 4 tries up after half an hour.

There can't be many teams with a record like that at one ground

Eden park is definitely a cheat code for them. They have only lost 10 times there since 1921 with about a 90% win record

I did see some stuff this week about the Cake Tin in Wellington being the anti-Eden Park for the AB's, with the record being something like lost 4 and drawn 2 of the last 8 there

Champions cup and challenge cup has moved from TNT sport to Premier Sports

 

Excellent news, TNT is the most expensive online subscription and Premier is the second cheapest, at less than a third of the price. £99 for every Glasgow and Edinburgh match this season is great value, never mind everything else they show.

A huge get for Scottish rugby. I have been at conferences with him speaking, he is very impressive and his work with Ireland speaks for itself. 

 

 

Looks like a great appointment. Any idea why it’s a consultant role rather than head of performance? Seems significant as he will not have full remit and responsibility. Normally a consultant just gives a view then the other directors cherry pick phrases from a report that support what they already want to do. Not that I dont have faith in the directors of Scottish rugby…

 

Why has he left Ireland? Looking at what they have done over the past 10 years you’d have to assume he’s been incredibly successful.
