As much as I want the Reds to win and get a home semi, that's heartbreaking for the Force if that is the game now. Especially Pocock, he's tried his guts out

I say if he's good enough, pick him. Just a thought - George Smith - the best Australian player never to have won a world cup? (At least since the thing began)

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/hits-and-memory-loss-but-barnes-clear-of-serious-concussion-20110524-1f2jl.html So it turns out he didn't have concussion on some of those occasions...I'm not a neurosurgeon like the guy quoted, but God, these symptoms really do not sound good at...

I think I've said this before about Mason, but I remember him being clumsy and fairly slow for a league prop. Williams is on a different planet in terms of athleticism and skill.

maybe it was due to the leg injury he was carrying, but O'Driscoll had a few bad missed tackles. He still looked dangerous with the ball though.

That rumours section at the end of his column always shits me. It's the sort of thing you usually see at the end of a 'Social' column in the Sunday Telegraph, or worse, a Danny Weidler article.

I'm from NSW but I gladly support the Reds whenever we're not playing them. I've never had any hatred of the Reds for some reason. When I was a kid my favourite players all seemed to be Queenslanders (Horan, Eales, Little). Plus my mum is from Townsville so I grew up in a very pro-Queensland...

Rocky Elsom : Rocky carrying the ball and a few of the other players, open, in support, yelling out 'Go yourself Rocky!!' Is it just me or does the bloke hate passing the ball? Especially when there are unmarked players around him. I remember sarcastically yelling that at the TV while watching...

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/bennett-to-boost-wallabies-cup-bid-20110503-1e6pc.html Interesting....I think it could be a good thing. Even if he is from a different code, he seems to have some kind of winning touch. He might be able to teach Quade Cooper how to tackle. Although...

Surely something similar to the training shirt/jersey would be ideal?

Assuming he's not being granted any special treatment, his Cambridge exams will probably finish anywhere from next week until the first week of June at the latest.

They look like rash shirts. Change the Kooga logo to billabong or rip curl and you've got your perfect patriotic rashie. I prefer the older type of jerseys. I wish they'd at least make ones for the fans. Bring back heavyweight cotton and collars!

I notice the online store on rugby.com.au has been closed for a few weeks. Maybe a new jersey or a new jersey sponsor?

Let's hope so. Although coming back and being able to play is one thing, you'd think he'd be at risk of not having that same explosiveness and agility straight away

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/ill-be-ready-for-the-world-cup-20110425-1du8p.html Realistic or wishful thinking?

Good stuff. I think the best thing about growing up in places like Australia, NZ or South Africa is the range of sports to play, along with the conducive climate. Its funny how little I remember about primary school, apart from how great it was playing touch footy (and tackle when the teachers...

It seems to me that he displayed cultural sensitivity, or whatever you'd like to call it. Just being cautious about pronunciation. Anyway, call me old fashioned, but I care more about the national coach's coaching skills than his linguistic skills. And in fact, cultural sensitivity is probably...
