My second game this year with the Foxsports commentary team - what a bunch of obnoxious boofheads - very sad that Australia can't find more balanced and insightful commentators.

Good on him for fronting up with no pay - problem is, however, that he is doing it with a richly patronised club - maybe, if he is so altruistic, he could go back to his roots and play for Waverley. It seems my club is in for a real touching up in the first round at Blackmore Park :-(

Mate, for sure get the lower grades straight out of school - a bbq with lots of beer is usually helpful - facilitate their ability to be with one another after school. Then get the Easts/Rand colts after 1 or 2 years when they know they are not going to be stars. Much rather play with their...

Find them part time jobs - it seems they have a certain marketability about them. Has anyone enquired as to their plans post rugby - back to Queanbeyan to raise the next generation?

Justin Harrison plays for Narbonne, Ed Gower with Pau.

My wife wouldn't let my sons play football/soccer. Thought it was more dangerous than rugby. Given she is a medico I had to submit to her greater wisdom.

http://www.rugbynews.org/sport/rugbynews.nsf/AdminMainNews/6 3 Lindfield/Gordon Juniors leaving the North Shore - very sad state of affairs for one of the strongest catchment areas in Australia. Great to see Mark B back at Easts.

I did a bit of research into the various "Shute Shield 2012" websites given the importance of this marketing tool. Quality/quantity of content, richness of site, and currency were considered. Top of class were Syd Uni and Norths, with honourable mentions to Randwick and Southern Districts...

Will search for some time series data to get a better sense of what is happening. http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/BE9BC2C79D6F5792CA25765C001953F5/$File/49010do012_200904.xls

Auburn, Camden, Campbelltown, Glenmore Park, Hawesbury, Hills, Ingleburn, Liverpool, Penrith, Quakers Hill, Rooty Hill, South Campbelltown, South West, St Clair, & Wollondilly AFL Junior Clubs in Western Sydney - it would seem that rugby is now a poor fourth in winter codes in this very large...

You guys are lucky you never had to play the banks - BankNSW, RBA etc - meanest guys in town - always have been, always will be

Re Funky's point about a new grandstand at Waverley. St Ives and Mosman have reasonable club houses. Which other clubs have a good offering for spectators.

Russell played rugby in "The Sum of Us", which was set in Balmain. He probably played at High.

WTF does he expose himself at this level - reminds me of the time Geoff Boycott came down to our school nets and got bowled by RD - beggars belief.

Uni teams for Friday - Bruce, I appreciate SuperXV guys are gone but are there any other experienced guys not playing as this looks like a pretty young squad. Assume Mafi at 150 by 150 (ie beach ball) is a typo. NAME HEIGHT - CM WEIGHT - KG 1. Dylan Evans 182 113 2. James Riches 182...

Could do wonders for the sale of fake beards and wigs. I agree it would generate interest in the game but Link seems to be focused on the "win games and watch them come in" approach to building support.

Could say the same about Clarence Tillman after his encounter SBW but not in person. Reminds of when David Schultz - WWF - slapped 20/20 reporter David Stossel to the ground for suggesting that wrestling was fake.

Agree - watched him as a replacement in the Racing v Toulouse game - he looked out of condition, made some poor decisions with ball in hand, timing looked off, and generally was underwhelming. I can't see him lasting a half of Super rugby.

Unfortunately it would seem there is an unintended open position, and he could be a good candidate.

Watching the 6N highlights on Setanta and the commentator is a very intense and buff Matt Williams - no doubt trying to forge a career in media that will take him to CEO of the SMH where he will confront his nemesis and put us all out of our misery. BTW He is providing some excellent analysis...
