Hart is on the books for 2013.

If you have a Samsung device, there is the option of downloading their Rugby Championship Match Centre app which allows you to watch the Fox stream of all Wallabies TRC matches live and for free (downloads will cost you though). The link to the app...

With the growth of internet streaming and IPTV, I reckon it's only a matter of time until the rugby viewing public will be able to bypass the middlemen (Pay TV or FTA) and purchase the viewing rights from the owner. Hope to see the day when the IRB and the national unions get together and come...

Hope he's wrong about this.

The Bledisloe Festival is to promote the Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney. Did it boost the profile of the game? I think it did, so it would have achieved its aim. If the ARU could get the NSW government to stump up some $$$ to promote then why would you knock that back? It's not the cure for all...

The first Bledisloe Cup game for ten years (beginning 2012) will be in Sydney so it can be an annual event. The second will be in NZ and the third will alternate between Aus and NZ. So if they stage a Festival in Brisbane, it may not be a regular event as Melbourne might make a play for the...

Will there be an asado when the Wallabies play Los Pumas on the Gold Coast?

The Festival is a positive move by the ARU to generate interest in the Bledisloe Cup and rugby. It was great to have the Bledisloe Cup make its way around various parts of Sydney for people to get up close and personal with it. Combine this with player appearances at various events and you...

Here's the image from the Tahs website of what the inclusions look like.

This is the banner accompanying 2013 Tahs membership promotions. Considering the hole they dug themselves into in 2012, they shouldn't dig any deeper. As for tackle harder and playing smarter, isn't that a given? Where are the commas? The merchandise included (cap, keyring, lanyard and...

Someone at the ARU must be keeping on eye on G&GR.

Nien would have probably taped the live broadcast and have the local stations in Victoria, and elsewhere, slot in their own ads. Much easier (and cheaper) than re-doing for the delayed broadcast.

They did the same thing with the All Blacks side. Nien must be using templates. No probs with that, but it's best to update and double check before loading... The overall coverage by Nien was sloppy. It's bad enough when Ken Sutcliffe hosts the broadcast. Just when you think they can sink any...

That's probably what the Tahs are reduced to doing having to try to find a coach this late in the piece. Besides, I couldn't imagine a coach with a decent track record putting their hands up (or crawling across broken glass) with what's been going on at Tah HQ.

And the search continues....... Love the bit about Sir Graham's response. He's in town for the Bledisloe so perhaps someone should knock on his hotel room door to confirm his really isn't interested. :rolleyes: If Cheika isn't keen, seems Gaffney could be a stop gap for 2013, while an...

Probably not as the Trust would be loathed to lose anymore games to another venue. I vaguely recall the contract with the Olympic Stadium ends in 2015, so one or both games allocated there could be played outside of Sydney.

I reckon SBW will be back in rugby in time for RWC 2015. But with a view to getting to Rio the year after.

Digby is keen to go.

Yeah, could have sent this out before the launch of the 2013 season tickets. Now it seems like part of the marketing for season tickets. But it's a good start and hope this translates into results. Much better than some of the efforts from the Media Unit. At the rate it's going, they may have...

Having seen some of the 2012 post-match interviews, it definitely represents Foley-speak. The Media Unit is a bit of a cop out isn't it? There should be a name attached to each of the articles they post. My first reaction was the same, fairly light on for a season review. Perhaps these were...
