It turns out that the meeting the ARU had with Key Constituents was not only hardly representative, but the output had already been agreed to a week earlier

G&GR’s mail is that that the shock move of Will Genia to the Western Force is indeed off. As a quote from our deep throat: Deadlines not stuck to and lots of people getting involved that create head aches… Will is too nice Apparently this is the third time this year Sanchez has flipped then flopped, so it must be getting a bit stale for everyone involved at Ballymore. Meanwhile the Force seem to have instigated a ‘catch and release’ recruitment policy — how environmentally friendly. In other news, G&GR hears that Robbie Deans is sick of the jockeying for…

We brought you the story about a month ago of a new mystery player set to link up with the Queensland Reds. That story can be found here, but it seemed to run cold around the time of the floods. Well Green and Gold Rugby can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Roberts is set to make his first appearance at Reds training THIS Thursday morning. Whilst the floods seem to have played a part in the delayed start to the Super Season for Roberts, rumours abound that he also used the period to ‘test the waters’ if you excuse the somewhat distasteful…
UPDATE: Due to the flooding Reds training was called off yesterday and Reg’s house is also being effected by the flooding. Our thoughts are with Reg, his family and everyone affected by what’s happening in Queensland Ewen McKenzie is poised to pull of perhaps the biggest gamble in Rugby history by agreeing to terms with unheralded utility player Reg Roberts. McKenzie, who managed to turn the struggling Queensland Reds into final contenders in 2010, is an astute recruiter so Roberts will be one to watch. The 2010 Reds squad was a young one with some critics suggesting the inexperience of…

First off, there are murmurs of discontent with Robbie’s decision to make Rocky Elsom the captain. Whilst there’s no doubt his team mates respect him as a player, a few might also believe that Rocky is too much of an individual to lead the team at this time. There’s a push at Camp Wallaby for young stars David Pocock and Will Genia to…
This stumbled into my inbox from RugbyDump, and if it’s going to sit horribly in my mind, so it can in yours too. Fresh on the back of Ruggamatrix’s assertions on Rocky Elsom, it’s all a bit too much. I do wonder though if this isn’t a fantasy of Dawson’s……
Eddie Jones has become the Where’s Wally of rugby over the last few years; some might offer the Scarlet Pimpernel, for others he may well be the Quasimodo, all crazy, sitting in a bell tower making heaps of noise getting in trouble with authorities. Whatever Eddie is, one thing he isn’t is unemployed for very long. Sure he has his bread and butter job with Suntory in Japan, but our mate Eddie likes his fingers in many pies, so in which freshly baked offering will Eddie place his digits in next? Eddies latest house of cards, Saracens, has come crashing…
