As a Catholic, Prof Roger Watson is sure Francis was appointed Pope for a reason. It's just that he's damned if he can figure out what it was. Certainly, it's not his liberalism that's drawn young people back to church.

what rugby?

Aussie rules versus GAA = compromise rules (although there seemed little compromise from the aussies)

The reality is that the aussies have mastered the round bal, kicking it and handpassing it, the irish lads on the other hand have not mastered the tackling skills!!!!!


A good rugby coach to teach them a few tackling moves might be a good idea for the next series!

Is the aussie aggression new? well those of us who remember the big dipper and co from the early days of this competition know that the aussies have always been aggressive, tough tackling and the only difference now is that they have at last also mastered the round ball.................

I presume your refering to the test as a rugby tournament to highlight the bad tackles?

If so then you should be aware that the Australian version is more aggresive than the Irish so the players involved would be used to such treatment in their own tournaments.
