We suck.

So far both teams are on the shitty side of shit.

20-10 to Aust. Handy lead.

Fair result. Both teams were equally crap.

Well that was a total disgrace.

Big 2nd half from Aust to beat the Argies. Not very convincing but.

International rugby is almost dead. Nobody can hold a candle to NZ. One can understand why Australia, France and England struggle, because they have other codes, in Australia's case multiple codes which draw most of the players from before rugby gets a look in. Most of our guys play AFL, soccer, rugby league, while rugby is open to private school boys in a few states.

SA should be better though, with only soccer as a competitor out of a large population. They should be much better at rugby than they are.

Okay, so you think that SA is travelling well. What are your reasons for the poor performances of the Boks? And whether you care to acknowledge it or not, Rugby is the fourth football code in OZ. Most of our guys are spread among the other three. That goes a long way to explaining while we will always struggle against the guys from across the dutch.

I do not see how you deduce I think that SA is traveling well from my remark that it was a total disgrace.

Was that a record loss?

Jayzus!! 57-blot!!!

How has rugby come to the point where Aus and SAf are so shit at the game in comparison to the mighty ABs??!!

Wallabies might finally have their shit together. Hoping to see at least one of their games during their winter tour so may be enjoyable. Shades of96

WTF happened We won??

Weather may have helped and there were still too many mistakes, but definate signs we may be competitive next month.

Rugby WA goes into voluntary administration over legal costs owed to the ARU

The ARU make the Vatican and mafia look benevolent. You won guys. Move on.
