The trial of independent Doctors to assess players at the U/20 World Cup will be an interesting one.

I think a fair bit of what is wrong with the Tahs can be traced back to the fawning Sydney media. Case in point the claims by Harris in the Oz today that the Tahs were the better team, and the SMH's claim that they can still make the finals, feed the propaganda which means the Tahs can deny they...

Only saw the last 50 mins of the game but Wests: Front three very good but Lee the hooker let himself down with his lineout throwing. Genia good at 9. Tough night for anyone out wider Uni: Backrow were strong and dominated Wests in the second half. George Moresu on the left wing looks like a...

Heavies too powerful for the Dogs tonight. Dogs up at halftime 14-10 but couldn't go on with it. Dogs scrum pretty good (2 tightheads but gave up one) however lineout poor. Uni looked good in patches but I think were a bit surprised by how competitive/physical Wests were. Pissed rain in the...

Good one Jets! I'll be at the kennel next week watching Wests v Heavies....Carn Dogs!!!

I would have thought Horwill and Genia would be pretty high on the list of people who could make key decisions

The Reds do have a game plan and it seems to be to play for field position at all costs then try and force the opposition into error, either through a ruck turnover or penalty. Pretty limited I know, but with the troops available, it's probably the least risky option. Last night they seemed to...

The thing I don't get about the kicking is that the Reds rarely put the ball into touch (except out on the full sometimes). They've got a pretty decent lineout and showed it again tonight by knocking off 2 or 3 Stormers throws and scoring their only try off a Stormers lineout mistake. Lucas's...

The problem with the current group of journos is that they are all happy to swallow whatever line is given them by the ARU. Bret Harris was given the annual report in last week's Oz presumably by the ARU and wrote a piece that absolved the ARU of all responsibility in relation to financial...

The Haka is becoming as monotonous as Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.

Smithy will be doing the odd rugby story (hopefully putting the boot into the ARU where required) but is going to spend the summer as the Oz's chief cricket scribe. Without question the premier rugby writer in Aust and one of the best in the world.

Quade was good at Super rugby level but can't make it at International level?....neither can Deans.

Kaplan is keeping Leicester in this. Penalty for a incorrect feed then marches them 10 then gives another penalty for going off feet at a ruck when the first two to the ruck were Tigers players who hit and went straight to ground....all within the space of 1 mintue

3. Gilbert 2. Pocock 1. Rocky

I'll be doing a match report so I won't be getting on it but a few cheeky beers could be in order

I will be sans Cote jnr

Mate I'll be there....beer for the Dads?

I am not aware of any TV coverage this year. Last year the local station bris 31 did it but it was a disgrace....not sure they are doing it again. Certainly no major network will be screening it.....sorry.

Precisely Scotty, yes he did play flat but he didn't play flat with stagnate runners lined out like an under 14 backline. As I said, the runners from depth allowed him to be able to do that effectively (i.e. take the ball to the line, hit a wide runner or take it on himself) Scarife, I posted...

The Reds had the deepest alignment of all the Aussie teams and Cooper's strength was taking the ball to the line with multiple runners from depth off 1st phase. Admittedly the Reds always seemed to have a flat runner (either Ant Finger or a forward) as an option from phase play but it was hard...
