@chimoaus He has a heap of potential. The guy is massive and physical and will be a very good lock in the future but he is nowhere near ready for Test match rugby at this stage. He struggled to keep up with the pace of some of the Super Rugby games this year so am a bit surprised that Cheika has him in the Wallaby squad already.

at least Kqwuaiyde isn't playing, so a chance maybe?
They should get the ground DJ to play a pre-recorded clip of a silent crowd over the PA system. Surely that's the way we roll in this country? Any stadium atmosphere issue can be addressed by a DJ whacking something through the PA.

I remember a Waikato-Auckland game at Rugby Park in the early 1990s when Auckland was near unbeatable. Fox was taking forever to kick a penalty as the crowd was yelling and screaming at him. When there was finally a moment of silence someone in the crowd yelled out "hurry up Fox, the ball will go flat". We all pissed ourselves with laughter. The bastard still got the penalty goal though.

@Milk yeah I still remember being at Twickers in 2002 when ABs played England and they were having a moment of silence for Remembrance Day and some fucker shouted out 'All Blacks' in the middle, then some other knob shouted 'ENNGGLAAND'
Very disappointing...but then asking people not to boo probably isn't gonna get them to stop.

Yeah, when someone yells out during a moment of silence it makes me realise that there are some people on this earth who I'll never be able to relate to.

So is the $15 for Australia to win on Saturday some sort of record?
No, Bet365 is offering $17 for a Wallaby win.
Wow that is a sad state of affairs.

My mother was at Twickenham during the 1999 rwc and there was a train crash or something and there was a moments silence for the victims. It was then she decided to ring her friend back in NZ and tell her loudly "you'll never believe where I am right now".

I think the most worrying thing in that article is the line:
The move comes as a result of a Stuff campaign to rid sports stadiums of boorish booing.
They've gone full UK-tabloid-bullshit "...after a Daily Mail campaign...", etc.
I see the "Alternatives to the crap which is stuff" thread growing exponentially. -

Yeah especially the bench guys in black who will have a point to prove - giving up 28 points to zip would have stung after the starters did such a good job.
