So Syd Uni wants to stand alone in the new comp. This means they need to fund their involvement in SS and then find the $225,000 required to play in the ARC. Where do they get their money from considering their side will be made up of Super 15 players? Do they have sponsors lined up or other...

If the Force and Rebels can field basically there Super 15 sides how is that assisting developing players for the step up into Super Rugby. If they don't put some age restriction on it then there should be a restriction on how many full contract players can play

I think it is very difficult to accurately suggest players that will be involved at this stage. Certainly those nominated above had good yeasr last yearb and have the runs on the board in previous years. There will be players that will stand up in the early months of the SS competition that will...

How come there is never any question about Michael O'Connor's position as coach of the Oz Side. he has had the role for a number of years and I cannot see any improvement or change in style of play in this time, We still apply very naïve tactics and have a style of play that is very different to...

have to agree with sucker. Skelton is big and powerful however at international level there are many big and powerful forwards. He has to improve his fitness and mobility and show that he can put it on for at least the majority of a tough 80 minute game and not just a cameo 25 minutes

Interesting that people are questioning his position and captaincy after he has just led Oz to wins in their last 4 tests - an achievement only the AB's have done since 2008. Also he has played pretty well in those tests. As far as I'm concerned all the returning players, including Higginbottom...

There was also Tamworth last year

:):):) and theres no red koala avatar on your post

Does anyone know whether there will bea City v Country clash in 2014. With the advent of a new club competition and academy games will this fixture be scrapped

To'omua(12) and Lilo(13) is a very close match to Horan and Little pairing. that combination wasn't too bad

Lets remeber that Muggleton has now been associated with Rugby for about 15 years. More than enough time to pick up how rugby teams attack. I know he played league but I owuldn'y claim him to be a recent convert. Also didn't the brumbies use or want to use some league guys as consultants on...

The people that don't like agents are those that don't use them or have to deal with them. The ones who like them are normally the ones who use them as in most cases the agent is trying to get the best deal (read most money) for the player (read includes agent) and has no interest in doing whats...

The skill level and professionalism is there. There is enough mongrel and work rate to win these games. However, the mental strength to execute under pressure and not make the mistakes this team makes during crucial parts of the match including decision making is what's letting them down. Look...

Anyone know the selction process and when this process starts

I think the Academies won't be restricted to U20 players. I believe that they will cater for players between 18 and 24

I also thought it interesting that both Horan and Dwyer said that Rugby is booming everywhere (maybe not here) and that it is ready to explode in popularity

Is Brogan Roods styill at the club? I thought he came over from Uni at the start of the year

I have maintained for a while now that the Oz team lacks any intimidation or "mongrel" in its forwards. They all play as if they are more concerned about technique and doing all the "right" things in the game. There is not one forward there at the moment where the opposition has to say we need...

The only problem with this is the vastly different approaches that both clubs take to get their achievements.
