Found this article at the Daily Telegraph and thought it interesting and worthy for us at GAGR. While we do point out the foibles of the refs incessantly, this is one area where we don't want to go down. For all their faults, if you are a Rugby player, you should respect the ref who is allowing...

I am thinking of applying for the role. But aside from me I have no idea. Would John Eales be suited for the role? Would they go for a non-Australian????

I think the AR was just judging when the best time to start his run. He was probably afraid that if he ran to the fullest of his ability too early, he would have scooted past the play so quickly he would have been useless. And as the ground was a bit slippery that night, he probably would not...

Within one week of Greg "Grumbles" Growden going, JON leaves the ARU. Coincidence??? I think not. JON is probably missing all the positive and enthusiastic articles about the game that were coming from the Herald and has thrown in the towel in despair. It just makes sense.

Not sure whether this will make any difference, but I came across this. At least they are looking at improving the Rugby program there. IMO they have dropped the ball a bit in the last few years. STAFF PROFILE MATT WILLIAMS What is your role at Knox? I am Director of Rugby for K to 12 and...

Hobart in February. There are worse places to spend a few days at that time of the year.

In the suggested teams of un-signed players, there is no space for Tom Alexander. Has he signed for a Super side or just not good enough in the selectors' opinions?

On Saturday the ARU made an effort to recognize the recent ADF deaths in Afghanistan. Ch 9 totally ignored that effort and kept up their league coverage with f.wit bully boy Hadley with his cohorts. You would hope O'neill would at least show the ARU's dislike of the coverage. If he isn't too...

I am not having a go at anyone here, but after watching some Rugby over the weekend a couple of things became apparent to the as expert as one can be never having played Rugby at a Super Rugby level... For all the ambiguity, layered complexity and plethora of laws, Rugby can be a simple...

I could almost take a loss this weekend if the team went out and played determined, enthusiastic, passionate and skillful Rugby. That the team had go; adventurously but not recklessly so. Put their bodies on the line (OMG...a cliche) ...tackle with commitment, be physical. Shift the AB's at the...

Well done to the Chiefs, I thought they would crack under the pressure the Crusaders put on, but they held out. And I think they were the better side. The Crusaders are very clinical and can exert constant pressure for a long time - wearing down sides. Though some said the game was scrappy it...

And the Force are paying $13... Which for a two-horse race is none too bad.

He surprised me... He came across quite well.

The ABC does a good job with their Shute Shield coverage. Unlike some of the NRL/AFL coverage of their commercial rivals the coverage is understated, almost charming in an amateur like feel, but they get the flow and spirit of the game right. The right mix of close-up and long viewing angles...

You forgot general ledgers in the paper/ physical form, people smoking in the office and the common 'failuer-to-return' lunches on Fridays.

At the Oaks drinking jugs of VB, (when it WAS a rugby pub), the mood changed from expectant doom to euphoria. And there was one individual who stood up and pointed to the suddenly very quiet kiwi contingent and told them the facts of life. I think the night ended up at Minsky's. After the...

Well I am pretty sure that there are lights there, and they are fairly recent. But have known to be wrong before. Quite often in fact!

Actually I think they have lights out there...they can play day/night cricket so it should be OK. But I have no idea why they have shoved it out there...It is at the end of the world...

And I did like the way he went to the welsh player he 'hit' on the way off. I think that showed class ad was in the spirit of the game. The tackle looked bad, but I think it was more due to his incompetence and energetic enthusiasm to be seen to be doing something.
