Looks like he will be going to Japan now, then playing next seasons Super 15 and back to Japan before completing his second year. Although Japanese rugby isn't of the highest standard/intensity it still is improving you'd have to ask what kind of physical state will he be in by the end of his...

The intern updated the Tahs website to confirm: Waratahs Rugby confirms marquee signing http://www.waratahs.com.au/News/NewsArticle/tabid/157/ArticleID/9982/Default.aspx

In Div 5 Sydney Irish are 3rd they had a comfortable win on Saturday at home to Convicts, away to Redfield on Saturday and need a bonus point win to top the ladder going into finals. Full ladder is here

I don't believe that it is on, Fox Sports were priced out of securing the rights to that one. What the Tahs game would be competing against is live Twenty20 cricket, live USPGA golf and replays of the previous days NRL/AFL I don't think its too surprising that these all get preference ahead of a...

At the end of the day Foxtel aren't a charity I can't see the advertising revenue or the viewing figures to make this worthwhile for them to show. However I do think that the Waratahs should stream the match, even with the Spanish commentary (I doubt one of the interns could translate in real...

Thats the big missing element in Irelands coaching ticket at the moment, I would hope at the very least we'll be seconding Greg Feek from Leinster as per what has been happening previously. The IRFU have been looking for a full time scrum development coach for a long time so once that is filled...

I think his career is in the balance, but to be honest I don't know the ins and outs of the situation.I do know that he doesn't really do any contact training because of the issues with his knee however I believe that this latest injury is his ankle. If he can proves his fitness I'd say Ulster...

Personally I don't think Australia should have another one but if expansion depends on a 6th franchise, which I doubt would ever happen, its the logical place for it IMO.

If only there was an expanding metropolis that rugby seems to ignore whilst its rival codes are hoovering up talent and support

I think that Super 15 players playing more regularly in the Shute Shield etc would improve the standard of that competition but it would hardly improve the Super Rugby players skills or fitness. These are improved by playing as against similar standard/better players, I don't see the benefit of...

Not Heineken Cup news, but doesn't deserve its own thread so I thought I'd put it in here: John Plumtree named Ireland forwards coach http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/23514680

I'm surprised there are people on here advocating a shorter Super rugby season as better for Australian rugby! What do you propose filling the void between Super Rugby and the international season? The club structure just isn't strong enough, if anything the ARU should be fighting for more...

Will the Bulls still be going with the box kicking game plan for 7s as well? On a serious note it will make interesting viewing, worth a trip out to Twickers for any G&Gers in the UK

Hopefully AAMI Park and the SFS are used for this series, I can't see France drawing a huge crowd to Eithad or Homebush.

Its city centre location is perfect for pre/post match boozing as well. Can't think of a stadium that comes close in this department.

France have confirmed their tour to Australia next year, dates and cities below: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/les-bleus-to-play-three-tests-against-wallabies/story-e6frg7o6-1226688007318 Brisbane 7th June Melbourne 14th June Sydney 21st June Other tours occurring are...

It doesn't matter who Australia pick at 6 and 8, their back row as a unit isn't good enough to compete with the best in the world. All the options are much of a muchness and they are lacking a really dominant figure in the class of the likes of Read, Parisse, Leguizamon. JOC (James O'Connor) has to be involved...
