Next years alternate jersey, Ponies won't be pleased about the design on the back:

Wales have to travel to Ireland, England and Italy they'll need to win at least two of those to win the championship. Right now I'd be backing Ireland to beat Wales in a tight game and England to beat them also. The amount of their key players getting flogged in France and looking in terrible...

Doubtful it will ever happen unless their owner's business goes south. He is from Toulon and is only to happy to keep ploughing the Euros into them.

I think Link said that anyone who wanted to be considered had to play a full year of Super rugby in 2015 in Australia, open to correction on that though. If JOC (James O'Connor) wanted to be considered he'd have to leave France/England around this time next year.

Wales are an enigma, their kick ball away and defend aggressively tactics work in the 6 Nations but they don't seem capable of developing their game to the next level. The best teams in the 6 Nations since 2008 have always built their game on good discipline and strong defense. I don't think...

My issue with Sydney Uni entering the comp is what kind of crowds will they get? If the Sydney teams are Sydney North, Sydney West and Sydney Uni who apart from the current 2k (open to correction on this) or so that attend Sydney Uni SS games will go to their games? As impressive as it is that...

With regards to Kingston this time last year he was probably chalked down as a bloke that Cheika wanted long term. However with the meteoric rise of Izzy and the development of Crawford and Betham something had to give if he wanted regular football. I think we'll only feel his loss if we have an...

I think the Welsh are going for 3 regions now Neath, Pontypridd and North Wales. I got that wrong yesterday I think the WRU are going to stop funding the 4 current regions and they will affiliate themselves with the RFU and effectively become English teams. The regions have a lot of debt which...

Some interesting news coming out of Wales, apparently the WRU are going to cut ties with the 4 existing regions and let them cuddle up with the English probably leading to these 4 regions folding in a matter of years. They will then set up 2 regions in Wales, centrally contract all the out of...

I'd like to think that membership of your local franchise should be an option to include in your Super Rugby membership. For example with a Tahs General Admission Ticket you get the first two home games free for ARC team of your choice and $10 in for each subsequent game.

He lost captaincy and his spot in the team after the Ireland game I believe, AWJ captained Wales for the majority of the 6 nations if I remember correctly. Warburtons captaincy win rate is pretty poor as well I think he has won 2 out of his last 12 games or something.

Why help a struggling code and a code we compete with get more exposure? This should be a complete no runner.

Great weekend for the Irish teams, 3 bonus point wins and a win in France for the Westies. Lets hope all 4 teams can back it up again next week. Some of the rugby Leinster played was sublime, Ian Madigan is a delight when he is fizzing flat passes out like he was on Saturday night. Funny how...

The PRL have confirmed that they aren't going to compete in the Heineken Cup next year. They are still banging on about qualification, funds distribution and now how the seedings are calculated. Their leadership have completely failed in their attempt to take over European rugby and I'm...

Its not in the shop section though, you'd think if it was in stock that they'd market it more no? Rather than having it on the bottom corner of the home page.

Its apparently in stock and can be delivered in two days, I wouldn't be too suspicious. Anyway they'd deal directly with Canterbury, how the Tahs decide to market the jerseys has nothing to do with companies Canterbury supply to Last year they had the heritage jersey on sale for about 6 months...

New Tahs jersey on sale, although true to form there is no mention of it on the Waratahs website. http://www.lovell-rugby.co.uk/Rugby-Shirts/Canterbury/NSW-Waratahs-2014-Super-15-Home-S-or-S-Shirt-Waratah-Blue

I'd add they need a 9 and another ball carrier in there back row also. Lydiate's lack of being able to do anything but tackle really weakens them IMO. To paraphrase Shane Warne they haven't 30 odd test matches against the big 3 under Gatland, they've played the same game 30 times. Different...

With 2015 in mind the Welsh should be worried. This game showed the same deficiencies that they have shown against SH opposition since Gatland took over. You can win a 6 Nations with decent defence and a dead eye goal kicker but their attacking plan of give the ball to George will only result in...

Skeltons cameo against the Reds was one of the best 25 minutes of lock play in the Super 15. Big tackles, big runs, superb offloads, good clear outs, it had almost everything you'd want. If he can bring his fitness up a notch there is no doubt in my mind he'll play a big part in the Wallaby set...
