    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    This forum is almost without exception a homophobic-free zone. Let's keep it that way. .

    Women's Rugby Union

    The ARU being "serious about Women's rugby"? There could be some innocents who might miss the subtlety in that little jest, Huge, but for those of us who've been around for a while even a line about the ARU being "serious about Men's rugby" might draw a chuckle. As for suitable characteristics...

    Battle of the Blood Red: Lions v Queensland Reds 8th June 2013

    Ewen McKenzie previewing Saturday night's match: "to be running out in front of a sold-out Suncorp Stadium crowd on Saturday night will be an experience these 23 players will never forget." "Our best rugby in the four years I've been here has always been played at Suncorp Stadium." "That...

    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    What about "the story of the 1913 US Open" indeed, jay-c? Good point. I was wondering when someone was going to bring that up. Too many people have short memories. It went to five sets as I recall. And that was in the days before the overhead serve was introduced. .

    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    jay-c, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, old mate, but I'm not convinced that your analogy is actually an improvement on Sully's effort. You seem to be equating a Force win over the Lions with having a 50 percent probability of winning all of the wealth of "5 of the forbes 10 richest people...

    Women's Rugby Union

    Your point is obvious with respect to the All Blacks, AS, but it could be worth someone at St Leonards making a mental note of the Wallabies' nude calendar idea for future reference. When your new national CEO's grand initiative for creating a 3rd Tier competition is to have the...

    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    I've been very busy with business matters, RH, including three trips to China in six months. I'll try to find time to re-expand my horizons. .

    Shute Shield 2013

    When you get to my age, Belly, you never let the truth get in the way of a good point of attack. .

    Shute Shield 2013

    Says it all, really. How can we expect to be taken seriously as a code? I could understand it if the CRU said they "couldn't afford to run a rep team", but seriously what sort of costs would be involved for the SRU? There would be plenty of Club grounds not being used this weekend; the players...

    James O'Connor signs with West Harbour. WTF?

    Maybe West Harbour has a rich and eccentric benefactor who pays players with cases of wine. .

    James O'Connor signs with West Harbour. WTF?

    Since when do Shute Shield clubs write multi-year contracts? Have the Concord boys merged with Balmain? (And by the way, how are things progressing with the Balmain Invitational Professional League?) .

    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    There seems to be some misunderstanding here. The last thing I would like to see happen is for Force fans to lose faith in their coach. What frightens me is the prospect of him being cut adrift over there and then having him back at Driver Avenue knocking on the door of the same CEO who was...

    Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

    "Has his house on the game"? The Teflon Kid? Failure doesn't stick to him. This is the bloke whose team won just four games last season despite being chock full of Wallabies, and then had two franchises fighting over him! "He's all in on Revenge!" Why should he be vengeful? He produced eight...

    2013 IRB Junior World Championship - France

    Inadequate preparation. What could possibly have been achieved by a semi-opposed training run against Papua New Guinea?

    Where to for quality Rugby journalism???

    The ever dependable Phil Kearns involved in a discussion about players who have had five Lions tours: "Wow. Five tours, that's 20 years." No, Kearnsy, it's actually 16 years, although I suspect you might just as well attempt to get him to comprehend the Theory of Relativity as try to explain...

    Waratahs 2014

    My point, oztimmay, was not about the spelling of his name but the fact that the commentators appear to have united to change the pronunciation of it. .

    Waratahs 2014

    And when did he come Bernard instead of Bernard, which is how his name has been pronounced for at least the past five years? Just because he went to a private school he doesn't have to have an affected poncy version of his name. .
