Barnes was clearly a non local marquee player coming onto the competition because of his Waratah signing. Clubs enquired with the NSW rugby union as to what process was needed to seek to have Barnes afiliated with their club . The deal was supposedly find him accomodation and a car and hes...

I think we are on the wrong forum topic however irrespective of how our friends at Uni fund their operation there is something fundamentally wrong with a competition when a team can finish 5th as Uni did last year and play a team that finished second in a semi at their home ground. This was...

For all Rebels fans coming to the Crusaders match on Saturday night make sure you get to the ground early to see the cream of Vic club Rugby playing in the inaugural Rebels sponsored club sevens comp. Great initiative from the Rebels to support the local clubs.

Lee The position is the ARU totally fund all other academies. It refuses to fund a Rebels academy and openly discourages the Rebels from running any kind of development program and also frowns on the Rebels b team concept. The organisation is expected to just pick up players out of the Sydney...

The Tongan team was made up of NPC players from NZ, Sydney first grade players and some pretty good ones and locals. Talking to their coaches after the match probably about 10 of these players will make their World Cup squad.
