And his wife is now sticking the boot into the "wing versus fullback" debate.
And now there's talk he's going to Queensland.
Last one out of the rugby building, turn off the lights. Thanks.
I saw that, it was really weird. Selection fark ups are owned by the coach ... fans can critique, but player partners gets a bit close to home to be constructive.
I bet his team mates love him for this
Just like Pocock chaining himself to things -
The media are providing him one hell of a platform to share his views. Now I, and thousands of other people are going to watch a video we didn't know existed.
If this keeps up I might be converted into a raging homophobe before the year is out.

@no-quarter but will you repent?

@taniwharugby I can do whatever the fuck I want because "only God can judge me".

@no-quarter but if you don't believe AND get converted into a homophobe, what then?

@kiwimurph he might be a bit more up to it than Hannigan...

I'm sure he would.
But it'd be one of the all-time short backrows with two blokes under 6 foot and one just over.

I picked the result, but my margin was out by about 30....

Many would have the SW as the rounds top scorer too...

This is probably the best article I've read on Australian rugby. It's a long one but well worth it.
A lot of the points re NH transfers applies to NZ as well...
Australian Rugby: How To Stop It Failing Upwards - Green & Gold Rugby
It is 5 May 2018. Brookvale Oval is packed. The fans are on the hill, downing beers, excited to see their Waratahs play their favourite sport: rugby union. The scene looks great on tv again. This is Sydney’s north shore, one of the hot-beds of global rugby. Matt Burke is from here, so too Michael

World Rugby has refused to extend the residency window for international qualification from a ridiculous three years, with the result that Southern Hemisphere players are able to have their cake and eat it too: head to Europe and end up playing international rugby.¹ Notes: 1. We hear that the residency requirement will be extended to five years in 2021, but sceptics abound that this will actually happen. Why introduce the measure then, and not now?The author has clearly missed the news that WR has already decided to extend the residency rule from 3 to 5 years with effect from 31 December, 2020.
With his last question about 'why ... not now', he also doesn't seem to understand that a player is no longer covered by the 3-year residency rule (and needs to have resided in a country for 5 years to be eligible for that country) if that player started their residency after 31 December, 2017.
