eejbm Shocking display really and surely such stupidity can not be allowed to continue.

Those that have mentioned on this site that the IRB have altered the rules to allow the ABs more chance come world cup time are obviously correct and Quade Cooper is an honest lad who tackles incredibly well, And King Richie is a cheat and should be banned.

2010 Tri Nations

Matches played: 9

Tries scored: 52 (5.78 per match)

which of course is bad for rugby because there weren't enough scrum resets.
