Propaganda at its finest, the North Koreans will be looking on with interest in case the Pyongyang Daily Telegraph needs a new sports editor to report on all the global sporting triumphs of the mother country.

Drug issues aside, would he even be good enough to warrant interest from any overseas clubs? I don't watch NRL so wouldn't have a clue about his on field abilities

I'm not sure our squad is stellar yet, I have fears about the drop off in quality of our whole pack if we ship two or three injuries at a similar time. We also relying on Potgieter to have no issues settling into a new team and country, and Skelton being able to continue his rate of development.

I think finals are realistic next season but I worry that our two major Achilles heels of a wobbly lineout and poor goal kicking could come back to haunt us next season. Major work is needed on both over the off season and unless this is done at best we'll be going away to SA/NZ in the...

Delighted with that news, if he can tighten up his tactical kicking he could be a superstar. Its going to be interesting to see how much time the Milky Bar Kid gives him in Ireland colours this season. Also Tommy Tommy Bowe and Rory Best are expected back in 4 weeks, no date set on Stephen...

Seems the Bullbogs looked at JOC (James O'Connor) after Izzy knocked them back but he is a committed to the Force talks

Richo if I could like your post more than once I would, great news not just for the Tahs but for rugby as a whole

The numerous pick and drives close to the NZ line was strange, with breakdown operators like McCaw and Read around the Wallabies needed to get the ball away from the breakdown as quick as possible not continually truck up for a 2 inch gain. Folau needs to go to fullback he is too isolated on...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Tahs who insisted on a 1 year deal, the last thing they want is for Beale to go off the rails again 6 months into a 3 year deal. Player welfare is important but the Tahs management probably have to look at Beale as a massive risk for a long term contract...

On Rugby HQ there was a comment that Link sees him as a 12, so thats where he could be slotting into the backline next year. If he stays on the straight and narrow we could be in for some fireworks at the SFS next year! Also This

I've stalked the debate around those stats on Munster Fans over the past few weeks, they do make interesting reading. BOD is undoubtedly on the wane but I think our best option to replace qualifies this time next year, and I'd probably prefer Tommy Bowe ahead of Earls at 13 he is more of a...

He broke his wrist on the Lions tour and got it patched up so he could play in the tests, this injury is just from the wear and tear of playing without letting his wrist fully heal

Just on Tommy Bowe, he is scheduled to be back by the first week of October which is when he would have been available anyway due to the Player Management Protocols. Lets just hope there are no ill effects on his health this season.

That Triple M rumour is hilarious! Which one of you guys took the Growden challenge to the next level? If I send in a photo of me and SBW to Triple M can I claim that the Roosters are signing me on an international rookie deal?

He resisted this kind of pressure when he was Leinster coach, so he'd have no problems doing it again. Also in his tenure with the Tahs he has been about rewarding good performances on the training paddock and in club rugby, Foley will get first shot at nailing down the 10 jersey and rightly so...

Cipriani was never the same after he prematurely returned from a dislocated ankle in 2008, the departures of Lawrence Dallagio, Ian McGeehan and Shaun Edwards (part time) from Wasps in the same year probably didn't help either. I always got the impression that those 3 were a huge influence on...

He always seemed to be a 7/10 player in 2013, and usually one of the better players on the park for us. As Braveheart said if the journos were voting straight away you can reason why he polled very highly. Next season he needs have less brain farts at the breakdown, too often you'd hear the...

Hooper resigned until 2016 according to the Tahs facebook page.

I think some folk have looked at the scoreboard and figured out that the Wallabies were blown away, however I think that they are close to getting a win over the All Blacks. 3 of the tries were down to a mistake and poor execution, and they probably blew a couple by taking the wrong option when...
