    Rugby League take on 7's

    a remarkably bad article by someone who clearly has no understanding of 7's rugby. http://www.theage.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/unlocking-the-codes-would-benefit-australias-olympic-cause-20120813-244z0.html 1) while pyke was a pretty good 7's player - he can't play for australia and...

    Rebels 2013

    the venture into SE Asia is just pre-season games against the saders - not attempting to play actual games there. I don't think being named the Melbourne Rebels will inhibit them from going there. in all likelihood they've picked up some sponsorship money to go there similar to how Carlton was...

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 Australia vs New Zealand - 18 August

    you've got way more depth than you did 12-24 months ago, but you've also got some key injuries/underdone players in JOC (James O'Connor), Beale, Quade, Horwill, Drew, and a fair few front rowers. i'll be tough. i think you're potentially weakest at 8, 6, 13 and 14. If you have higgers at 8, 6 is a bit weak...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    Those centers won't cut it in the least against sbw and nonu IMO. Neither will they against JP and jdv Backline will be let down there. All the rest are to a great standard. Horne will be brutally exposed. I would rather see taps at 12

    Super Rugby 2012 SF Chiefs v Crusaders

    Bloody phone. A weird side step and I am further surprised he gets in the AB 22. I can't see it happening this RC. Messam was a monster. In the absence of kaino an read, richie Messam and came could be a great back row. Add in Vito as a supa sub.

    Super Rugby 2012 SF Chiefs v Crusaders

    Taumalolo for me focuses on te big hit too much and getting his hands on the ball too often. He went down in the scrum more than a few times. I'd rather see the right hit than a big hit. And very cheap shot. Gildford for me is a Dan Lugeresque winger. Very fast without great hands or a side...

    Super Rugby 2012 SF Chiefs v Crusaders

    Not sure about tkb as a next gen all black. Good without being great. Dan was well off tonight with the boot. I thought sonny went missing fr much of the second half and enough with his back chat to the refs. Cruden is superb. IMO superior to cooper for a 10. Tremendous courage in the little...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    genia cooper ioane barnes beale JOC (James O'Connor) AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) i've grown attached to the idea of trying beale at 13. hands, attack, pace and defense to do it. JOC (James O'Connor) or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at fullback.

    I doubt Harris will get the call. Tapuai should get his place.

    QF1 2012 - Reds vs Sharks

    Digby was a victim of a 3rd string 10 and excellent defense. He got his hands on the ball and often. More than can be said for ships who did little to nothing all game. Harris is well and truly overrated. Can't fathom how he made the wallabies. I guess it's cause no JOC (James O'Connor) no Beale no cooper etc...

    Rebels 2013

    i see hilgendorf has left. I like the guy (save for his terrrrrrible kicking decisions in attack) and wonder where this leaves our backline in the absence of new recruits Phipps, Ranger, Kingi, Bieber, Beale, Inman, Mitchell, Lojo, Vuna.....i'm sure i am missing someone. nevetheless, we probably...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    i'm obviously a big pyle fan and reckon he should be in the top 4 locks, but I am increasingly impressed with Neville over the past few games. he is large, has an excellent work rate, gets past the gain line consistently with ball in hand and can tackle. a bit more refinement and I say that guy...

    Rebels 2013

    See the aru page or the championship backline discussion. Didn't have the link. Agree re anyone but Horne. Inman would be the 13 to Barnes 12 IMO. not a McCabe partner. But then neither is Horne.

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    Great to see Inman in there. Surprised to see no tomane. Must be due to recovery from injury? On a side note. Some of Phipps' off the ball antics are fast making him somewhat unlikeable.

    Kafe's Chalkboard

    Kafe is great. alongside Mcardle (sp?) he is the best on the show. Could do without Marto and Kearnsy and I am yet to figure out what cannon offers from a commentary point of view. Replace cannon with Freier next year and keep timmy horan. three hosts - that's all they need.

    Rebels 2013

    Henderson Ged and Weeks is fairly strong as I see it. Jono Owen showed great form this weekend and Alo-Emile is nothing to sneeze at. Blake dropping weight like Kirstie Alley in 2004 is no problem either. Could use a younger hooker though. Chamberlain not resigned it would seem (might...

    Waratahs 2013

    Whilst the emerald blood does course through my veins, I can't say I'm a relation. Unlike Murray, my ass was not covered on this one. A quade copper move for the ages on Rosco - I misread the attack and went into my defensive positioning all wrong. The libel aside, I stand by it. Occupy Moore...
