Burgess coming home
It’s ‘au revoir Toulouse’ and ‘bonjour Melbourne’ for Luke Burgess after securing a release from his contract with Toulouse. The halfback is expected to sign with the Rebels and replace Nick Phipps, who is headed to the Waratahs.
Do you think Burgess can make his way back into the Wallabies next year?

West Side Story
Waratahs captain Dave Dennis is pushing for teams from Western Sydney to be given players to enhance the game as other codes tip in money in the region.
Imagine Israel Folau in the Two Blues of Parramatta or in a Greater Western Sydney team?

‘The Code’ gone wrong
Over in England Sir Clive has revealed what he thought of the English side participating in the behind the scenes show similar to the one the Waratahs and Reds starred in – he thought it revealed far too much and contributed to their losing.
Did England really have any secrets after they choked against Wales – or is this yet more pommy whinging?

AAC To Stay
Some good news for Waratahs and Wallabies fans with Adam Ashley-Cooper expected to re-sign with the ARU through to the end of 2015.
Perhaps he stipulated playing at 13 as a condition of the contract – or is he prepared to play at 11, 14, 15, 21 or 22 for the men in gold?
