    Test Rugby 2014 Rugby Championship

    Geez we're lucky Argentina only decided to play for the last 20 minutes. Despite complete dominance for 60 odd minutes we kept making mistakes and poor decisions when hot on attack. If it wasn't for Argentina bombing a certain try at the end it would have been 32 all with 4 or 5 minutes left...

    Test Rugby 2014 Rugby Championship

    In the other match South Africa beat Argentina 33-31. By all reports Argentina were the better team on the day, but as has become common with them in the last couple of years, they weren't able to close out the win. Nevertheless, Argentina are clearly moving forward, while the same can't be said...

    Izzie isn't really a top liner speedster, and Barrett is actually very quick. Take a look at this video of him chasing down Willie Le Roux who I'd guess is a bit quicker than Folau.

    Phipps, Foley and Higginbotham have made a big difference. Should start in the next game, especially Phipps.

    Bloodbath.

    In isolation it was soft, but it came off the back of 4 or 5 penalties in a short period of time and there's always the danger of receiving a card when that happens.

    Test Rugby 2014 Rugby Championship

    You guys are kidding yourselves. McCaw's yellow was an absolute obvious card. Wallabies hot on attack, he's lying on the ground and knocks the ball away with his hand. It's a professional foul and a yellow card every single time. Completely cynical. Wallabies yellow was a lot softer but I...

    Test Rugby 2014 Rugby Championship

    Not the worst game in my opinion given the conditions. Was pretty tense and the Wallabies had their opportunities to win and just couldn't get it over the line. I think Phipps should start ahead of White. White's pass was slow and his box kicking poor. I'm also unconvinced about Beale at 10. I...

    What is the deal with playing abroad?

    Basically yes. But it may ultimately be a battle they'll lose (if the top players can eventually get 3 times as much elsewhere the lure of the test jersey might not be enough to keep players in Australia). SANZAR are ultimately hoping to expand into bigger economies in Asia and the Americas to...

    Super Rugby 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final: Waratahs v Crusaders

    I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope it at least goes to a decider in Brisbane. That would be epic. If the Wallabies do win the Bledisloe, and the NRC is a reasonable success (i.e. it's financially sustainable, uncovers some big new talents and has a few matches draw a decent crowd and TV...

    Super Rugby 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final: Waratahs v Crusaders

    Wow what a finish!! Foley held his nerve amazingly well. That kick was right at his limit. 4 great tries in the game, very physical. Great final.

    Super Rugby 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final: Waratahs v Crusaders

    Yeah I'd say that might cost at least another 5k people at the rugby. In my experience there's more crossover between rugby union fans and AFL fans in Sydney than there is with AFL and rugby league fans. There'd be some people that would have wanted to go to both in a perfect world but for...

    Super Rugby 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final: Waratahs v Crusaders

    I think it will be a pretty exciting game. Hard to pick. But I hope there's a big crowd and the Tahs get up.

    NZ could possibly have 4 teams make the finals. If the Reds beat the Force and then the Force beat the Brumbies it'd be on the cards.

    Any Stock Tips? - Part 3

    You have to be careful doing that. If the ATO find you've sold to minimise tax, and then bought back within a short period they will penalise you for it. More info here: http://www.asx.com.au/education/investor-update-newsletter/201305-tax-loss-selling.htm The US have a much clearer system as...
