Porters looks playable in case needed.

Apparently Lithgow

I'd be resting a few and giving Carlo, big Lukhan, Hunter and Toole a run. If we don't get the result even coming back 1/1 from South Africa is a success, but the two crucial must win games are the Pumas. We need to solidify our world ranking for the RWC draw and these two games are really...

I can see a dust up at my local when the AFL gets turned off the screens at 3.00pm for the rugby. With the Swans rubbish (apparently) this year you hardly even see the AFL mentioned on the news so it will be just the southern state expats firing up.

Outside south auckland

Shute Shield finals for grade & colts will lockdown all the all weather fields.

Lets hope Rassie does indeed flog them at training as they looked gassed last weekend and would love to see them carrying even heavier legs this weekend.

There is zero chance of any footy this weekend.

My RA contact tells me off the back of the Wallaby heroics ticketek was a popular app on Sunday where 7500 tickets were snatched up for the Sydney 2pm test vs Pumas on 13 September! The band wagon rolls on! RA are confident of a near sellout should members take up their options.

Kolisi and Peter Steph Du Toit both out for Cape Town. They will be replaced by two huge 125kg+ monsters.

I heard clubs voted to make 2026 a 22 round season?

Geeze that elite playing group of big name stars in the Springboks line up is starting to age. Almost all their big names will be minimum 35 years+ at RWC. We have seen age is no limit for a few of our aging warriors but not sure you want to go into a RWC campaign with 10 of your starting 15...

Newport haven't played at home since round 9 which was 12th of June with its last two home games transferred elsewhere. The fact they were able to get enough bodies out of the injury ravaged group to travel 1.5hrs to Maroubra in my opinion is actually a credit to the club and players...

How good are the Wallabies!! First time in the office hearing everyone talking about rugby. Decision will be out of Newport's hands i suspect but ultimately if their is a decision to be made it will be a collective decison made by committee, coaches and players. As I have mentioned before the...
