The bar owners on Caxton St would be voting for Peter "the claw" Clohessy in a heartbeat.

I think I bought into the Gloucester hype a bit too much, didn't see Leicester beating Montpellier twice either. I'd be quietly confident at the weekend from a Leinster perspective. Ospreys are out and the 6 Nations is just around the corner, these are the type of games their Welsh...

Its funny the majority of Wales fans I speak to say the same thing, but the mainstream media cream themselves with excitement at Sams every move. I agree that Wales would be a far more dangerous team with Tipuric in it without losing too much on D.

What was I thinking backing Gloucester?

Wales look set to be without Gethin Jenkins for possibly the first couple of games, not a huge loss with Paul James able to slip straight in. He will strengthen the Welsh scrum but they'll lose a lot at the breakdown. Also Warburton is due to be back for the 6 Nations, doesn't look like he'll...

Why would Genia move to a middle of the table English team which, as it stands, won't be competing in European competition for the next 4 years? If this rumour was Toulon/Clermont/Toulouse I could maybe believe they've made an approach but don't see any legs in this one. Also in the English...

Just watched a recording of the Munster Gloucester game, good 20-7 win for Munster. POC and the rest of the Munster pack had a big game in the loose, couldn't believe some of the brainless Gloucester attacking, their young backs where walking into choke tackles in the last 15 minutes. I counted...

I'm not sure how that will go down, I'd say that Roger Lewis has the backing of the majority of the clubs. After all he has delivered a debt free Millennium Stadium, 3 Grand Slams, 1 6 Nations Championship and a WC Semi Final. The clubs couldn't give a flying whatever about the regions...

I'd assume that in someone like Speight's case the ARU would ensure that it is written into his contract that if he wants to qualify by residence for Australia he must commit to an NRC team for 3 years. Speight, by virtue for his commit to Wallaby qualification, would be classed as NAQ (Not...

Latest development in the stand off between the PRL/RFU/RRW and other 5 Unions up north IRB says emphatic no to British and Irish Cup Game’s global governing body will not support any cross-border event not approved by respective Unions...

I always got the feeling that Beale was never coached, just indulged because he of his natural ability. Maybe with a proper disciplinarian for the first time in a number of years he might finally go some way to fulfilling his potential.

I'd guess that the deal is very similar to the previous ones perhaps with central contracts thrown in. The sooner this ridiculous bluff by the RRW/PRL is called the better so we can get on with stabilizing the Rabo and confirming the Heineken Cup

Foley and Beale at 10/12 worries me because we don't have anyone who can really get us across the gainline of crap ball. When the pack isn't on top we'd see a lot of cross field crabbing from those two limiting the space for Izzy, Crawford and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to work in. We can't expect Hooper and Potgieter...

If you thought our alternate strip was bad check out the charity jumper, it just appeared for sale today:

WRU statement on the RRW not signing the participation agreement http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/29209.php#.UsNkvqUXPa5 Key point for me is WRU are prepared to set up their own teams to ensure the Pro12 continues with Welsh representation. Also they aren't going to approve the RRW wish of...

The regions and their fans seem hell bent on getting into the England comp, they've overlooked the fact that the RFU, WRU and IRB would have to approve it. Also they'll be looking at a drop in funding 4.5M to 4M, an independent report commissioned last year showed that they'd need to double...

Welsh regions offered 4 millions of Mrs Windsors finest pounds to join the Aviva. WRU are allegedly content to let it happen are looking at central contracts and setting up their own teams. The regions are contracted to the Pro12 until 2016 so I wouldn't even be sure that 4 million would cover...

Sean O'Brien is out of at least the first few Irish games, dislocated his shoulder in the Leinster game last night. Pretty much rules out Ireland winning I reckon, we have to play Wales and England without our best player.

I've just seen some of the Brumbies guys on here get a bit riled up because southern NSW is Brumbies territory
