Also, any news from the Strathfield-Homebush Waratah Shield Game?

I think we are on the same page here - I did have the US Olympic system in mind when I posted... I suspect we may have to see the 2016 games come and go for many athletes in australia to really get the smell of that lure deep inside their nostrils...

Womberal, I Love the Wallabies to death... and I am not trying to pick an argument with you - but they are in some ways, not the best of the best... They are the Best of our Rugby Players across the country, who are selected from within a 3rd or 4th tier Sport - (depends on who you listen...

i tend to agree... really - I don't think that we are talking about 'hordes' - but we might be talking about 1 or 2 players that just have the 'it' factor we need to round out a medal-winning team... What worries me is that politicis will get in the way... the 'us' versus 'them' mentality...

Right-O... I don't know the specifics, but that is what I am talking about - as well as identifying talent in High School - in more than Rugby Union Schools....

O.K... I shall explain further... Firstly - when Rogers, Turquiri and Sailor were drafted from League, many people made a significant argument that this was ethically the wrong thing to do - as when they played for the Wallabies, other players who had played Union since their childhood were...

so what was all that about in the last try in London on the weekend? did all that gesturing mean anything to anyone? - i might be out of touch... One thing I do know is that when I played, passing the ball to your mate once you are over the line and playing some kind of silly "you do it" "no you...

Where is the Strathfield - Homebush game to be played? - There is little love lost between these two schools, although they compete against each other very rarely in any sports... It seems to be Public Vs. Private local-Rivalry-Thing...

The fact is, this Forum should not even be necessary - Why has the ARU not already Officially announced the pathway to the Brazil 7S for Australian Athletes - and why is it not out canvassing for Athletes from other sports - such as Sprinting, Hurdles, Triathlon and AFL (for instance) who...

Ok. so here is how it looks from my side of the mountain - (no doubt I am overlooking something)... You have 3 Conferences... 1. Existing Brisbane Premier Clubs. 3 Grade / 2 Colts. 2. Existing Shute Shield Clubs. 3 Grade / 2 Colts. 3. Super XV Academy Teams, plus strongest ACT Melboune and WA...

Its a noble aspiration - but highly unlikely... Saffer hating? No - I think Clyde Rathbone and Tiaan Strauss are Top Blokes. As for Eben, he is young and yet to fully mature as a rugby player - so we will see what we will see... - but I think he has already gone once for an attempted headbut...

I am pleased to see Speight will be available for the End of Year Tour - and deserves to be chosen - He has been THE in-form Winger so far this year... I agree totally that Davies is not a great line breaker - i think I alluded to that in my previous comment.. as for JOC (James O'Connor)- He picks himself, but...

Its not one incident, there was another eye incident with Pocock, the coathanger on Carlos Spencer, the squirrel grip on George Smith, numerous numerous head high tackles, punching players in rucks - (often when they likely cannot even see who is hitting them), and constant incidents off the...

TOCC mat be right but - as far as I know, Speight cannot play for the Wobblies this year, Tomane - I would not rate him decisively ahead of Davies, although he definitely has a future - Shipperly is certainly not having a great season and Davies seems to be getting game time ahead of him, (in...

I know no-one is talking abou this - and I don't want to appear to get carried away on the strength of a few good games - but seriously: - with his combination with Genia and Cooper, - the impending departure of Mitchell and Ione, - and the comparitively lesser form of Cummins - what chance...

i am overseas, and so watching all this 3rd Tier discussion from a distance. To me, the Shute Shiled is a glittering asset - and should be utilised - not replaced - I am sure the same goes for the Premier Comp in Brissie... Can someone kindly confirm for me - how many teams does a club have to...

Go and watch the first few minutes of the last Lions tour to SA (If I recall the occassion correctly) and have a look at the eye gouge - for which he was cited - and then... just have a look at the rest of his career... please do not pretend you are unaware of this - it serves you no credit -...

Whilst I will be first to agree that the Playing Kit is a secondary consideration, there is No Excuse for what the Australians are running around in... Is there some story behind this - some kind of mitigating circumstance? Otherwise, the ARU should be pilloried for letting an Australian Tea...

I am not going to dignify that with a response - even for a South African that question is taking the piss...

As far as I know the other feller was referring to Burger - as was I.
