    Rebels vs Brumbies RD2 SR2013

    Crowd looking about 10,500 - 11,500. Hopefully the Reds draw a big number.

    Rebels vs Brumbies RD2 SR2013

    Watching back in Canada (all super rugby games live!) I thin Inman is playing our best in the backs. Phipps, JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale are all looking patchy tho Beale the best of the three. JOC (James O'Connor) great set up but really off and on. Line out looks better now but was effin horrid early. Wings not adding...

    Rebels 2013

    that's clearly JOC (James O'Connor). conflicted as i rate him massively as a player but get the complete impression from the rumours, the way he dresses and speaks to the media that his is a massive loser/tool. would no be good if we lost him at all though, that said. If barnes' departure to Japan happens, then...

    Rebels 2013

    i think he played 10 at school boy and possibly u-20 level he played there for the rebels before and he was quite good. has all the skills. he would need a large frame like inman right outside him though to cover tackles. beale wasn't very effective at 10, so not hard for JOC (James O'Connor) to be more...

    Rebels 2013

    i thought it was an absolutely atrocious first 20 minutes and had me thinking that if they continue this way, it's going to be another long season. picked up nicely though after that. it was very refreshing to see such an excellent lineout. yes the force are short, but wykes is a tall man and...

    Rebels 2013

    Mitchell doesn't have much of a boot. either he or JOC (James O'Connor) should switch it up to 12 in which case Rokobaro could slip into 15 and cover for JOC (James O'Connor). unsurprising comment from a NSW fan that "the front row looks weak" zzzzz. there were two better hookers in the aus conference last year than Ged...

    Rebels 2013

    if kingi is available, i'd say he'll be a wing. one of KB (Kurtley Beale) or JOC (James O'Connor) has to play fullback - they've got experience

    Rebels 2013

    phipps, JOC (James O'Connor), Rokobaro, Sidey, Inman, Mitchell, KB (Kurtley Beale) Strizaker, English, and either hegarty or Angus. vuna is a big loss as that is some good experience gone. looking forward to it though. 2 weeks to go! predicting 15-17k in attendance. and a rebels win.

    Pacific Nations Cup 2013

    good move and is actually a step back to where we were before the churchill cup. we previously played in a version of this back as the Pacific Nations Cup and before that as the Epsom Cup. The standard is now better though as the islands and japan have all improved. ditto the USA. a good move...

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    Not really. over 23's who still want to play rugby but aren't yet at super rugby level would still play club rugby. players who aren't at uni or contracted to a super rugby team would not partake, and would still play club rugby. players who still want to play but aren't looking to make a...

    are they laws adopted in super rugby/tri nations now? i had thought they weren't.

    Waratahs 2013

    Folau is a superb athlete and was one of the best league wingers going around. He’s gotten absurdly fit in the past two years, dropped some bulk, increased his speed and dramatically improved his kicking and his hands. He’s a great option for fullback or wing. I don’t get the complaining out of...

    you have dennis, lopeti, sitaleki who was great there for the wallabies and potentially mcutchen

    Rebels 2013

    not sure on that. delve is clearly going to be the 8, higgers will shift to 6 was higgers signed before delve resigned? i think jones will get plenty of time through injuries and rotations. delve will have back and calf issues again, higgers always misses a couple of games and saffy - who knows...

    Wallabies v. Wales - 1 Dec

    wallabies will win but it'll be a bad game is my prediction. roberts still around to stuff up the centres. missing a 10 will hurt the welsh these teams have played way too much in the past 14 months. 6th game. absolutely ridiculous. this test should've been against ireland if a test at all.

    Australian Sport TV Ratings.. Rugby Falling

    missed that on the figures. opinion of a-league still stands. this is about as big as it will get. it is horrible horrible soccer. completely agree with the tahs. if cheika turns them around (which i think he will starting day 1) the tahs will draw a huge crowd. everyone i know and work with...

    GAGR Vote - Should Deans go after the EOYT?

    I have been a deans supporter, but for me this tour has been the nail in the coffin I 100% sympathize with the injury crisis, but barring JOC (James O'Connor), Horwill and Genia the wallabies are at full strength. regardless of if he was healthy, safe to say QC (Quade Cooper) would not be starting at the moment. so at this...

    Australian Sport TV Ratings.. Rugby Falling

    replying to the A-league comment you responded to. I personally don't think the A-league is the threat rugby needs to worry about. the boost in ratings at the moment is a one off associated with two big names they have been able to lure - primarily del piero who is a 39 year old former italian...

    Rebels 2013

    I think we will have Henderson, Ged and Weeks in the front row Pyle and Neville in the 2nd row Fuggilaster or Saffy at 7, Higgers at 6 and delve at 8. one of our polynesian props on the bench, plus Horie James King covering lock and Luke Jones covering 4-6. I hope Super Rugby is adopting the trial...

    Rebels 2013

    I agree re Inman. It would be great to see the wallabies boast a truely large and potentially destructive option at 12/13 and inman is the only one that fits the bill...not for lack of effort on Cummins part though! I think his time in the wallaby camp will be a significant boost to Inman I also...
