Carrying Booze On The Team Bus Is Standard Australian Fare

Only in Australian rugby league would a team carry this many boxes of beer on the team bus the week before a massive game. The Queensland State of Origin team were in camp ahead of next week’s game two of their three match series with New South Wales with the Blues leading 1-0. Their coach Mal Meninga also managed to get kicked out of a Brisbane bar for stepping behind the service area to or... »

The Twitter Reaction To The First Lions Loss Of The Tour

The Lions were defeated on the 2013 tour for the first time today, going down 14-12 to the Brumbies in Canberra.

This Aussie Commentator Was Shocked At How Young Stuart Hogg Is

Simon Zebo Isn’t the Only Problem Alex Cuthbert Has At The Moment.

Alex Cuthbert might have been uncomfortable yesterday during the Lions win over the Waratahs and Simon Zebo’s belting first half. That is probably far from his mind though as he took aim at O2 today. Roaming is tricky Alex, what’s the bonus for winning the test series? 3G is rediculous ???????? pic.twitter.com/at9yZI09xt — Alex Cuthbert (@acuthbert11) June 16, 2013 »
