the reds lon passing and cross kicking for wingers only works in your own half against a narrow defence with defending wingers back waiting for the expected kick. once the reds get down to the attacking end, the wingers are up, and the defence is wide9 and sliding. so whilst to many this idea...

The game plan involving kicking for field position is fraught with risk as well, when you cant win your own lineout let alone the opponents, and their back 3 easily run back through your defence, or garry owen the slippery pill to nervous catchers.Running from your own end is probably not much...

Loved the game last night and the effort from both teams. As another poster has commented, nearly all the variety of skill sets our game has to offer were displayed by 1 or the other team. I watched at home, and was wondering if it was just a camera angle thing or were the lions especially...

thanks !

Congrats to Sam Denny Magpie for the selection. All subtle (and not so subtle) hints from Reds indicate that they will want to play up tempo, and keep the ball in play, limiting lineouts etc. Let us hope and pray that the counter strategy is not that recurring blight where one of the...

The elephant in the room for those of us in the sports medicine world professionally is the increased use of steroids and other supplements, correspondent to the obsession with size. Not only do these substances promote quick unnatural muscle hypertrophy, they have a deleterious effect on tendon...

sorry if this has been covered before, but can anyone enlighten me : Is this game on TV - Fox sports extra channel ?

Michael Lynagh 1991 world cup vs Ireland, John Eales pretty much every game...........need I say more?

I was thinking exactly the same - continual profanities never made me play any better ( from team mate or opponent). Its just "motivation for Dummies" ............................or Rugby League !

;) Well, there is the hairdressing, waxing, eyebrow trimming etc ....it all takes time you know !!

And what about the qld players at the rebels, waratahs, brumbies and force -- any chance we will see them home for a bit of club footy ?

firstly most agree that white deserves consideration to be in the squad but ffs, this "squad" seems to be an amorphous organic mass. Are Beale and White now part of the "6" . There has always been strong speculation that burgess was (since discussion about his commitments to playing in Europe...

I am sure they will squeeze in a couple of tour buses from the pig and whistle !! The Yeronga Pool have opened their parking on occcasions this season, if you dont mind a short walk. up.

You will be most welcome as it is Old Boys Day at the nest, and if Quade can play, the club would be crazy not to market to all the Brits in town with the BIL tour as one of the rare opportunities to see him.

I think you left out Quade Cooper and CFS (if he is well recovered) from the magpies there !!! And what do you know - Souths vs Easts 15 June.

Is it just me or does anybody else think that there are way too many players telling the ref what to do at almost every play in Super Rugby!!. Last nights game between the reds and rebels almost finished me ! As a junior ref myself, I can tell you that the youngsters do everything they see their...

Well, its a 3 test series and one of the 8's is Cliffy Palu, who unfortunately has no great record of durability.:)

Does McCalman jump in the lineouts ? Im assuming Higginbotham would have been if he was playing. Scott may play - his injury sounds like McCabe's in the RWC, maybe he has even slightly more time, especially for games 2 and 3, and unlike the RWC semi final, it is not sudden death if he cant play...

...or Eddie Quirk, or Peter Kimlin, or Matt Hodgson, or Luke Jones, or that guy in third garde at my club in Brisbane, or Toutai Kefu out of retirement ..............

Why did a squad of 25 have to be picked in the first place, if they were not going to get together until they played another 2 games.? Why aren't we just picking them today - 30 / 31 who cares.. With some of the original 25 people now out injured, some others maybe out / maybe in with...
