Horan's on fire: "What it does for the Waratahs. They've got two first receivers who can play fly-half."

Horan's trumped himself: "He's not happy, Ashley Cooper. I'm pretty sure he's on the ground." - as the camera zooms in on him, prostrate, as the medicos work on him. .

Tim Horan, predictably, setting the bar high in season 2013: "The battle I'm looking forward to tonight is Liam Gill verse Michael Hooper." Obviously expecting Gill to spout poetry at Hooper, Muhammed Ali style. .

If I wasn't overseas at the time I'll definitely turn up, just to see what he looks like. .

"just half an hour a week and only a couple of impacts". Marc Lievremont, Head Coach, France Yeah, that'll work. Very Gallic approach. A development budget that could have gone close to putting a Jean-Claude on the moon, and the pack has just "a couple of impacts" before breaking for a...

The only "disgrace" was the way he was treated. As I heard it the ostensible reason was something relating to his private life. I wonder what would emerge from full scrutiny of the private lives of those who decided to tear up his contract. .

As far as I'm aware waratah jesus is not deceased; he's merely having a sabbatical. That being so the position is not available for you to claim, IS. Perhaps wj is still plucking up the courage to sit on Michael Cheika's lap for a photo. .

I suspect that old Gaff was too set in his ways to fully grasp the intricacies of the Headless Chook school of coaching. .

Tina, is there any truth in the rumour that Jason Allen was out on the heel and toe personally letter-boxing the members cards? Apparently they co-opted those employees who were not gainfully occupied. .

The highlights package suggests that both teams were playing under the optional tackle dispensation. I wonder what a lowlights package would reveal. .

Hawko, it is at once one of the great frustrations and one of the great joys of the practice of irony that you can lay the sarcasm on with a trowel as thick as you like and some innocent soul will still take you at face value. In my more reflective moments I sometimes ponder on the possibility...

I'm not superstitious but I'm a bit wary of tempting fate. Nevertheless Tom Carter does have an extraordinary record of durability. In five seasons I think he has missed just one game through injury, although I know he played most of one season with injuries to both groins. Considering the style...

This is not the time for panic - yet. Have a little faith, guys. Fortunately we have leadership who are accustomed to dealing with stuff ups; not in the sense of dealing with them successfully but more in constantly being surrounded by them. 2012 for example; culminating in the very dignified...

The craft of absurdist humour has its frustrations. No matter how ridiculous a concept you advance the real world may have already encompassed it. Following on from my post, for no particular reason I Googled "speed crochet" only to find that it was indeed a sport with International Speed...

What precisely, churchill's cigar, do "NFL", "NCAA sport" and "BCS" have to do with Stanford Rugby? The NFL is the National Football League, the highest standard of professional American football in the United States. As of today Stanford Rugby had not been admitted to the NFL. The NCAA is...

Can posts like the one Cyclo is referring to be immediately deleted by the moderators, please? This type of invasion of a woman's privacy is so far out of line that it must not be implicitly condoned by a failure to take immediate corrective action. .
