    I dont know what this photo was from, probably a line-out, but it isnt the action that lead to Folau getting binned

    Wallabies v All Blacks Saturday 26th August at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

    so whats your suggestion? Don't say Quade. I actually like him, and have willed him on many times, but it just doesn't work, especially in NZ. Give me something to work with

    Wallabies v All Blacks Saturday 26th August at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

    Mate, Michael Cheika here. Couldn't help reading your analysis, and I've barred up. Clearly I haven't appreciated your depth of knowledge and experience and have over-looked your selection. Could you please send your CV, care of ARU, and I'll get you on in the third. I look forward to victory...

    Round 7: Hurricanes v Waratahs - Friday 5:30pm

    I thought the same. Kepu just stood still and braced himself for the collision.

    Round 7: Hurricanes v Waratahs - Friday 5:30pm

    he is an absolute joke. When are they going to realise he is always going to be mediocre at best.

    Brumbies vs Waratahs - Round 2, 2016

    There is a function in Foxtel, probably in set-up, where you can extend the recording time by 10 or 20 minutes, so if its scheduled to end at 9.30, it will continue to record to 9.40 or 50 etc.

    incorrect. Lewis was on the tour as a breakaway. Ella and Melrose were the 5/8's

    The Awful Truth About The ARU's Financial Position

    Always good looking at the old boys mag - some good chaps there! I know a few, both the seniors and juniors, although I didn't attend such an august institution, neither did any of my children. In terms of Roy's interest, you may well be correct, but I think it went beyond that - we'll never...

    The Awful Truth About The ARU's Financial Position

    I'd caution about dismissing Roy's column as league propaganda for two reasons: (1) I remember Roy many many years ago on a league tv forum defending rugby and made the comment, that still rings in my ears, "... I am an unapologetic supporter of international rugby ..." This was when he was...

    Joost Van Der Westhuizen - a champion on the field & now a champion off it

    I've got to say I find the whole Joost thing very upsetting. I remember the first time I saw him play, as a 19 year old (I think). Wallabies v Northern Transvaal at Loftus in 1992(?). It was the Wallabies first tour to SA after the Springbok exile period, and I, and all rugby supporters...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    got to say, I laughed when I saw that GPS put a "like" to my post - maybe my humour is too subtle, but clearly, or so I thought, I was suggesting the views as stated were in fact flawed, significantly.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    I congratulate you on defining, so succiently, just what the issues in Australian rugby are - the ARU should put you on a retainer.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Being pedantic, the answer is no - he went to Patrican Bros Fairfield, but was sponsered by the Eels - they played in the same comp as Parra Marist ie: MCS.

    Quick hands - you beat me to the reply - agree entirely.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Stan, loved you as a player, those stories of you having a ciggy for warm up are right up there with Dougie Walters - true Australian sporting hero's, they don't make many like you these days - and we're poorer for it. The nice, and insightful, thing about your post is that you didn't just...

    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    Interesting answer, I can live with that. So what you're saying is that the ARU will pay little cash, if any? The grounds have always been a financial drain on the club - I'm a member by the way - so I guess it makes sense. Woodies get better facilities for no real cost and ARU gets a...

    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    [quote="wamberal, post: 526934, member: 1924 We will never know the financial details, but I think you can assume that the price paid to Eastwood would be significantly less than they could get on the open market, a discounted price to reflect the value that the Club will get from being able to...
