The perfect mix: why I always love Neighbors

Network Ten Charlene Mitchell, Henry Ramsay and Madge and Harold Bishop – characters from the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbors. OPINION : I’ll admit something most of my closest friends don’t know: I’m a huge Neighbors fan. Since 1987, I have spent about 84 days of my life engrossed in the lives of the citizens of Ramsay St. Forget politics, Erinsborough is my Mastermind subject specialist. I know which Spice Girls made the cameo (Baby), the name of the real-life stalemate where exterior filming took place (Pin Oak Court) and who went sailing and never came back (Marlene). Everyone remembers Bouncer’s dream, but do you know the name of Lucy Robinson’s dog, which she replaced? (Basil, he drowns – one of Guy Pearce’s best performances).

All black greats want Joe Schmidt in the coaching mix for the Rugby Championship

Former All Blacks coach Alex Wyllie and former test captain Ian Kirkpatrick believe Joe Schmidt should definitely have a direct role for the Rugby Championship. Schmidt will replace Grant Fox on the selection panel, but Wyllie and Kirkpatrick think it makes sense for the former Ireland coach to be actively involved in training. Wyllie, who coached the All Blacks from 1988 to 1991, believes that replacing Ian Foster as head coach at this stage could potentially destabilize the opening test of the Rugby Championship looming in South Africa in early August. “The change of coach now probably won’t happen at this stage,” he said. “If there is a new coach, does he want to choose new players? All it will do is create more uncertainty [for the players].” READ MORE: * Head-to-head: Scott Robertson’s record as a head coach is better than Ian Foster *All black people need Wayne Smith, Scott Robertson and Leon MacDonald, says former NZ Rugby boss ...
