Regular starters and bench players for the Reds are being given leave to miss the club round on 22 May (they do have the option to play but it's the players choice). Players that have had little game time for the Reds are available for clubs on 22 May. All Reds players (except those selected in...

Was just out at Ballymore - Byrnes must be doubtful to play again for the Reds - he didn't look good.

We can only accept 2010 tries

Yes, competition is open to all rugby clubs - Junior and Senior

Even though referees make plenty of mistakes, let's be fair. There has been mention in the posts that the offide line proposed by Harfish was incorrect as the line should be where the last player on their feet was. There is no mention in the laws of the last feet belonging to a player on his...

Got mine today - got plenty of queries at training tonight as to what it was.

Back to the original clip in this topic: 0.18 - No release by Pocock as tackler before he attacks the ball so he would be penalised 0.25 - No release by Digby as tackler so he would be penalised - nothing wrong with what Pocock did under the new interpretation 0.44 - A tackle occurs when a...

My understanding of the rule is that releasing the ball has nothing to do with when, or whether, the ref calls a ruck, or indeed whether there is a ruck. If you are involved in making the tackle, you must release the player and the ball before attempting to win possession. The notes being...

Correct - he was at Uni last year

During the recent Wallaby of the Decade series there were plenty of hints suggesting a video showing highlights of Stephen Larkham’s career. Well, here it is! After wading through hours and hours of footage of the Wallabies over the 12 seasons from 1996 to 2007, this video shows Larkham in all...

1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Alexander 4. Horwill 5. Sharpe 6. Elsom 7. Pocock 8. Palu 9. Genia 10. Barnes 11. Hynes 12. Giteau 13. Mortlock 14. Ioane 15. Ashley-Cooper 16. TPN 17. Kepu 18. Mumm 19. Smith 20. Kingi / Lucas / Valentine - have to see Super 14 form 21. Mitchell 22. O'Connor I'm hoping...

Like the idea of a mark anywhere in your own half. There's a lot of skill in a field goal - more than kicking a goal from a stationery kicking tee. So I don't see the points for a field goal should be reduced but I like the idea of the non-kicking team getting a scrum from where the ball was...

3. Pocock 2. Robinson 1. Giteau Also good were Genia, Smith and Alexander.

3 pts - Pocock 2pts - Rocky 1pt - Robinson But the whole forward pack was really good. If you had to vote for a back I'd go for Hynes.

Didn't record the stats on 6,2 or 7 but I think you'll find Elsom did carry a fair bit more than the locks. Don't think Moore or TPN would have done much more than the locks but surely we don't want 7 being a primary ball carrier. If not the locks carrying the ball forward to give us some punch...

I just finished watching the game a second time. I've seen various comments about the effectiveness of our locks and what a lock's role should be, but I was amazed at the stats from the game for ball carries by the three locks used. 17.20 mins - Horwill dives ahead from a very slow ruck - made...

A lot of us have focussed on the original selections - both who was in the 22 and their positions. That topic has been well covered elsewhere so no need for me to go on with that any further, but I think they got it wrong, both before Barnes got injured and after. Once they'd selected 22 and...

IMHO it's time to make a choice of a guy that could be a long term #10 (I vote for Barnes) and play that combination for the next 5 tests on tour to give them time to develop. With time together I think Barnes can give Giteau the space he deserves - I think Giteau will play better at #12 and...
