I turned down the commentary and didn't really get too upset about Bryce- you can't change a referee. What I did get annoyed about is that although we looked good when we put phases together and had the ball in hand, our backs did a series of chip kicks and poorly thought out bombs that gifted...

That's the way we like it. Yes, Uni currently have more than their fair share of injuries, but no one's complaining- we'll put the best teams we can out there in both Prems & Reserve Grade, and play as well as we can. If we lose this weekend it'll be because we were outplayed by a quality side...

Triplet et al I think you'll find the only people writing GPS & Brothers off are people not associated with Uni & Sunnybank (I'll also include GPS & Brothers here). I agree completely with your sentiments- finals Footy is a different beast altogether, and the best part about all clubs in the...

I'd be honoured Bruce. I won't let you down!

I would be happy to come down from Brisbane for the Reds game first up next year if there was such a pub crawl on offer.

It's being called an "opposed training run" because the IRB stipulate that World Cup players can't play a game within a certain window before the World Cup. So for Canada to be able to have a run and finalize their squad, it has to be an "opposed training run" with a referee, 2 touch judges etc...

Sorry LL - my mistake about the score. paying attention to that side of things is definitely not my strong suit. Also didn't ean to make it sound like I was complaining about something that, as you rightly pointed out, any club would love. I simply wanted to highlight an unusual hurdle I...

Agreed Spectator- who knew outside backs could pass like that?? :) Uni were actually down 13-6 at halftime running with the breeze, but put on 51 unanswered 2nd half points. There was a 4 try blowout in the last 10 min, but by that time the damage had been done. All the same, most of the game...

I'm more worried that he might have gotten pissed on Vodka Cruisers and Bacardi Breezers.

A LOT of people underestimate how difficult water-running can be: no going on for penalties, splitting water-runners between forwards and backs, catching water bottles thrown back to/at you (note: ALWAYS UNDERARM!), refilling the bottles. Occasionally the water-runner forgets he's just a water...

I can only speak for Sam Reiser & Con Foley. [Foley's been called in due to an injury to one of the centres): Neither of them would be considered superstar schoolboys and from what I understand, they've had no prior NTS or academy experience. Reiser is a 198+cm 98kg former schoolboy centre...

Any entry is an illegal entry?

As someone who talks to a lot of touch judges during games, often they are telling the ref, but the ref is choosing not to take heed. It obviously depends on the ref in the middle, and my coverage didn't have the full touchy-to-ref sound so I can't be sure in this game. I've been told by many...

Uni had a convincing win at the Sunny Coast. There was class shown across the park, although to give the Coast team credit, they scored a couple of pretty sharp tries, particularly towards the end of the first half. The Uni second half was much better, with Dave McDuling providing a bit more...

Thank you all for your messages of support. I clearly have issues... Now if any of you know the ARU media unit? Consider this my application. :D

And now my version: I know that it is very far from perfect, but I won't criticise someone else's work without putting up an alternative. Robbie Deans has made two changes to the Qantas Wallabies starting XV ahead of Saturday’s [1AM Sunday morning AEST] Castrol Edge Tri Nations Series match...

I refer to this press release. I’ve vented throughout and will post my version of it after… http://www.rugby.com.au/wallabies/News/NewsArticle/tabid/1516/ArticleID/4079/Default.aspx The selections of Scott Higginbotham at the back of the scrum, and Nathan Sharpe in the second row, represent the...

Yes- very sharp. I think that some members of that tight 5 will have something to prove too.

If he does it'd be awesome if he could make it to a training session this time- would probably help him learn the names of players & the moves. He said on twitter he had fun even without either of those though. Again, I'll be waiting for confirmation on Thursday.

Fair enough then Timmsy. I'll obviously be expecting some higher production values and possibly an audio montage of his most inspirational expletive-ridden speeches that have been caught on microphones. You understand, right?
