Disappointing post as McKellar had moved on from Vikings to Brumbies. Was to have coached UC Canberra Vikings as part of input from Brumbies. Larkham's call up to Wallabies affected this as McKellar's role changed to incorporate bigger picture and Brumbies Interests. Brad Harris as coach not a...

My opinion is to disagree because of the composition of the Back row. I believe Rowan Perry provided more balance to the team as a Reserve. If you look at Canberra Vikings team for 2015 there was a reliance on Brumbies for the Back row in Jordan Smiler at 6 (VC), Jarrad Butler at 7 © and Ita...

Has Rowan Perry got a team yet?

The hard decision is if he can make it through the 4 year cycle. I don't want to rain on Jordan Smiler's parade as he is 30 and was half out the Brumbies door to France but family considerations changed that and has options to move. So here are my contenders by age Jordan Smiler aka...

Here are two successes, the first Matt Hodgson and Pek Cowan uncapped prior to the Force and they have stayed for the 10 years and earned 223 caps for the Force and have been fringe Wallabies. The Force has had 13 home grown player in this period without counting John Welborn who finished his...

I am lost and confused by this proposal. 2014 Canberra Vikings a three way partnership between UC, Brumbies and Vikings make a small profit. 2016 - brumbies coming off their biggest financial loss want Vikings excluded and be an ACT representative team with some collaboration from the...

It looks like the haters have won. This is in the context of a Brumbies President election. Who is going to replace the Vikings group money. Can't see a sizable increase in crowd because of the name change.

What has become of Joel Pender?

Currently Brumbies signed 33 less Wallabies 8 + Cubelli +17 Vikings leaves 7. I had not counted Abel at that stage.

There are a couple of elephant's in the room. 1. Waratah engagement with NSW franchises is probably less than desired and is probaly not going to be an better in 2016 and my concern is that say all there non Wallabies are injured and require surgery and are not sighted in the NRC. 2. The ARU...

I would rest the Japanese based flexible contracts next year and give them some rest early in the cycle. Beale at Full Back for Folau Christian Lealifano for Foley but thinking about Jack D Ita Vaea for McCalman For the European based would only pick on NH tours Kervei for Giteau but start...

I am confused about how Perth goes about the NRC. Last year the debate Melb v Perth which way ahead. This year no clearer.

On some level I would be happy with limited or incremental let the Rugby gods decide through evolution. But the level of engagement by the Waratahs towards the NSW franchises are a worry and the possible two speed competition. Will there be a reaction in 2017 when the Waratahs believe they...

Enjoyed the intensity and the hard hitting.

I would like a 10's or 7's to start the competition as a lightening carnival. 16 teams competition with extra 7 teams could be - Real Qld (Blue Heelers) and NSW Country (Cockatoos), ACT Griffins, Rebel Academy, Reds Academy, Force Academy and Waratah Academy. Like the Australian Barbarians...
