After reading QC (Quade Cooper)'s comment on Twitter, I was thinking the same. But in this case, I reckon Quade may outlast Deans.

HJ, I reckon they would sell a fair few of these if Adidas ever got the rights back. The marketing machine that Adidas has would also be handy. They do a pretty good job for the All Blacks. I wouldn't expect they would devote as many resources for the Wallabies as they do the ABs, but it would...

Started a small collection of rugby jerseys and I find some of the designs are pretty ordinary. Not a fan of the last two designs from Canterbury with all the excess piping. Prefer the old school style jerseys with a collar. The closest that the international teams get to having some sort of...

If this is Chris Alcock, who's the bloke that has been playing with the Tahs over the last few years?

Yeah. The postal mail received from the Tahs has a return address of St Leonards. The membership phone number is a centralised line as well where you select which membership team you would like to speak with. The websites for each Super Rugby team has a similar structure as well.

The Australian conference starts a week earlier to accommodate the Lions tour. Rounds 18 and 19 with the NZ and Sth African teams only are on the same weekends that the 2nd and 3rd Lions Tests are scheduled. Tahs play the Crusaders in a trial game on February 14. Not only is it on a...

The latest email from the Tahs. Love the photo that came with it. You can certainly tell who's the boss. From the Locker Room Issue 3 with Michael Cheika, Head Coach I’m really looking forward to being part of a new era in NSW rugby. Being a Randwick boy, I know that your expectations...

7's is an excellent way to introduce rugby to newcomers. Just like T20 and one dayers are for the longer forms of cricket. Great to hear that the ARU is doing this.

Does anyone recall the cost of tickets in 2001 as I would be interested to compare to the 2013 matches. At the rate it's going, it wouldn't surprise if premium tickets to the 2025 Test series hit $1,000 or more. Considering the cost of the Test matches, it's good that the tickets to the games...

Understand why there isn't a pic for Sheehan as it was pretty unlikely he would have featured in Wallaby colours this season. But no pic for Shipperley and a missing McCabe is sloppy to say the least. Worst case do what the Tahs did at the beginning of this year and use a photo from their...

Tough match for both teams. Good debut for Kane Douglas. Argentinian jersey is a shocked IMO. One of the worst of the international teams, especially when compared to their last jersey. Looks like it was run over. Hope the UAR got lost of $$$ from Nike to wear that. Nike don't appear to be...

Dave Pocock tweeted that the pub he went to watch the game in the ACT had all the TVs switched to the league and won't show the rugby live. :(

The new chairman is saying the right things, here's hoping the talk is translated into action.

A follow up from the original article which appeared in The Inner West Courier last week.

The captaincy curse strikes again. Dropping like flies.

Drew Mitchell was on the ABC coverage of the Shute Shield today. Apparently won't be out for 12 months. He said his tendon was ruptured earlier this year and not in the Bledisloe match. Already back in training and no need for surgery at this stage. Rob Horne was injured again during the Shute...

Balmain is closer to Sydney Uni than Concord Oval.

Kudos to Livingstone for giving it a go rather than just talking or complaining about the state of rugby. He didn't make the Fanatics successful without some business smarts so he wouldn't be considering it if the financials don't add up. Good idea to start with Sydney based teams in one...

FFS, should have expected Nein to show the NRL ahead of the rugby. RE: granting of FTA rights to Nein - did the ARU have any say in this at all? I remember reading that both pay TV and FTA rights were sold to Foxtel and Foxtel then onsold FTA to Nein. If this is the case, then it doesn't...

Don't blame him. Given a choice I would prefer the AFL CEO role rather than the RL one. Lot more hassles to deal with in RL than AFL which also has the bigger footprint across the country.
