Henry not in the squad.Is he still injured?A bit of a shame if he is,as he looked a real talent.

'Absolutely pumped': 17 Wallabies included in Reds' 34-man squad for pre-season European tour

Very astute coach – “over here,you need to be taking wickets”!
I thought that was a prerequisite for any cricket team?

McCullum unveils blueprint for Bazball pace aces to be firing for Ashes in bid to ‘blow Aussies away’

Don,I am an Eels supporter and think Brown is a very good player,but I don’t really see him in rugby.He is also going to get bigger offers in league than he will get from rugby.I hope he stays with the Eels and concentrates in getting a bit more consistent with his performances,as he tends to go missing on occasion.

'Not really': RA boss shuts down pursuing NRL star, delivers update on Schmidt's Wallabies future

Frankly,I couldn’t give a toss about Djoko.He is a great tennis player,but is a bit of a prima donna,as others have said.
If that was a joke,then it was a pretty lame one,but typical of the level of Tony Jones.You are not related,are you?

Human Rights Commission complaint lodged over Tony Jones' 'insulting and offensive' Djokovic dig as drama escalates

Joked?Tony Jones wouldn’t know the meaning of the word.How he stays in that job amazes me.He must know the right people.

Healy stars as Aussies survive late scare to take Ashes lead as England rue fielding blunders

Good on the Aussie women for the win,but can someone explain to me how come they call this competiton “The Ashes”?Even the men don’t call a one day competiton between Australia and England “The Ashes”.It’s reserved for a test match series.

Dingo,that was a great catch,but did you see the one the Kiwi,Nathan Smith,pulled off the other day against Sri Lanka?I would rate it even better.

Selectors slam door shut on four Test careers after finally looking to the future with new-look tour squad

KwAussie,you may not like Beale but your assessment of his play with the Force is just wrong.He was very effective and seemed to lift the performance of other players,especially Donaldson.
No way that I would even consider him for a Wallaby spot,but he could still contribute in SR.

'Grateful' Beale signs fresh deal with Force as Wallabies veteran makes late bid to take on Lions

Not sure why you are equating Schmidts’ decision to this one?Gleeson has made a decision,so if the policy is not to select players who have signed overseas then that is clear cut.
The one Joe is making is much more critical for him,his family and Australian rugby,so understandable that he may be agonising over it.

Exclusive: Wallaby dropped by Schmidt for first camp of 2025 after signing with overseas club

Funnily enough,AtW,I thought the same as you until it finally sunk in what it really meant!

Scotland are at it again! Rugby's most ravenous recruiters set to add another Kiwi to the mix

Harry,I think the Boks would be pretty scary with just one poached player – Dupont!

Richie Mo'unga to the Wallabies, Fraser McReight to the Boks: The two rivals who would strengthen every Test team

I think you are right,James.I recall a video of Kohli and Smith together discussing each others’ careers and the respect and friendship they had was very obvious.Even if it was directed at Smith,it was probably a wind up rather than with malice.

Flem’s Verdict: Aussies have a Big Four with Boland no longer a back-up, SCG pitch not up to scratch and Beau knows Test cricket

matth,the truest comment of all.You could pull in any amount of stats to boost up your chosen favourite.What about how many top order batsmen compared to lower order?Starc only got one wicket in the 2nd innings,but it was one of the most important.
Also,I couldn’t care less about their batting averages.Would you have put someone in the team ahead of McGrath because he could bat better?

Key stat puts Starc in a class of his own: Why back scan could decide Border-Gavaskar Trophy

I couldn’t recall that comment from Gavaskar re the Symonds incident,but the white man vs brown man is a bit laughable considering Symonds’ background(RIP)!That was disgraceful treatment of Symonds and I think it took a big toll on the man.

Kid Konstas is amazing but King Kohli is a disgrace and should’ve been banned for shoulder charge

I think the “trite trash” is in your post,Redcap!Or maybe change your name to dunces cap.

What a great sport(and a wonderful bowler)Richard Hadlee was?Players like Siraj could learn a lesson from watching his reaction to Whitney surviving.

Greatest Boxing Day Tests - Part 2: Warnie's magic, Mike Whitney to the rescue and a Windies classic for the ages

Me too,BG.I was glued to my portable black and white TV in a caravan park at Sussex Inlet,willing Thommo to survive.The disappointment was terrible!
Also saw Whitney survive,but can’t recall the situation like the Border/Thommo stand.

The word “influencer” is one of my pet hates,in fact my number one pet hate!In the case of her,though,the title is deserved and she is a good role model.Not like the majority of “influencers” who just try to look pretty and show off as much skin as possible.

Ilona Maher is changing rugby forever - here’s why you should pay attention to her

I must admit,Nick,to knowing nothing about her until she upset the Aussie girls in Paris,but watching that highlight package shows she is a special rugby player.I can see why she is getting the much deserved plaudits.

Thanks for the really positive post,RR!
Harry brightens the day and then comes the doom and gloom.I’ll stick with Harry.

Joe Schmidt has shown the way forward in 2024 and a Lions triumph is possible - this is how he can do it

Don’t agree!Australia thrashed them at a neutral venue,which shows the relative strength of the teams.Would be very surprised if the Aussies lost this series.
