Did the NZRU ever publish a profit / loss on the World Cup? I don't see 1 Japanese Team - I see 2, or, 1 Japanese, 1 USA Team - possibly based in LA or LV... Hawaii would be the ideal location - but I suspect the crowds would likely not work, there... There may be one more SA Team in order...

Interested to have just come across an article which states that the NZRUs reserves have fallen from 80 million down to 33 million of late... No doubt this would include the outcome from their World Cup - but I never did see a categoric statement on whether the last RWC lost or made money - a...

Not sure I could agree with you here... from the little bit I have seen of him so far - (and I thought he played well against the Force) - Watching him 'wade' throu that Maul was truly impressive, but I have not seen the athleticism and all-around mobility that one would need to be successful in...

Quick Hands, two quick things; 1. That is exactly my point - the logical solution to all this talk about making schools rugby more competitive / higher quality, IS to take it out of schools - and we all know that no one would want that - so the whole discussion is pointless. Schools are not...

By the way, that Elle Mc Pherson thing did happen to me once, but I told her never again - I didn't think we connected, mentally...

No change of policy from ARU - just a case of Deans having match day squad picked, and these boys are not in it for test no 1... I think the reasons for the Wallabies being held back so dilligently is twofold... 1. they need intensive training to get the combinations/tactics running smooth...

Overall I agree, I think the Reds fielded a stronger team - and the first 20 minutes or so of the Reds Game? My Tahs couldn't produce Rugby like that at the moment, if you fitted each one with a cattle prod!... So they will have to go another way... The one difference that I believe will be a...

I am in another Time Zone, but quite right - i thought he had posted it yesterday.....

You know - you talk this subject to death - it really has no logical point of completion - and what occurs to me is this; 1. In 99% of these schools, Rugby is not the highest priority. 2. In say - 70% of these schools, Rugby is not a 'high' priority at all (compared to academics, other...

That is a ridiculous scoreline. (Played on a Wednesday Night because...)?

Totally overthinking this... No matter where the players come from, if the Clubs are not allowed to recruit them, they will do nothing. If they are allowed to recruit according to the new rules, they will do something - we don't know what, but something is better than nothing. We can do it -...

For a Boy's Boarding School, that's just alarming.

Can they do better than Western Australia?... thankfully, there are only 80 minutes. anyhow - its good! - we might uncover a 'bolter' like they used to in the good 'ol days of Amatuer Rugby... from the Woolshed to the 'Gabba, in a couple of weekends... Carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnn...

'did not have to beat him... simply had to kick, or run the ball into touch in order to regather the troops... the Lions were at our line - there were few options. Anyhow, If I were Martin, I would have many Long Nights of the Soul before I elected to make a living, commenting on other players...

Fair enough - i never heard him say that - but he must have said it quietly - in proportion to the way Campese has been pilloried over the years... to my eyes, it looks like Campo was passing it to a FB he expected to be ready to kick it into touch...

I don't think it has anything at all to do with knocks on the head - I think it is something else entirely, and whilst the laws of slander forbid me, I could otherwise suggest it has to do with self-absorption, a delusional belief in his own sense of houmour, self-enamour, and a head placed in...

I hope he is alright too, but I have to be honest, I was yelling at the TV for McKenzie to take him off, the other night (and I don't do that often) - I thought he was having a shocker - particularly in the 1st half...

Any ISA results from the weekend, or was it a quiet one - like the Seniors...

... Hmmm... I still have days like that, at work... what could it mean... what could it mean...

Watch a replay of the Brumbies-Rebels game from last night - Martin was in even worse form than usual.... even his co-commentators sounded uncomfortable with him at various times - and at one stage attempted unsuccessfully to bring him back to the point. There were several comments that had me...
