My "Wallaby Optimum 23 players for 2015 RWC" (for obvious reasons), would include Sam Carter, who could be replaced by Will Skelton after 60 mins initially! Optimistic I know, but still possible.

Stupid post, nugget. You've obviously never had a serious sporting injury. If you had you wouldn't make dumb-arse comments like that!

I'm happy with the squad announced today to take on the Saffers. Though many will have their own positional alternatives, it's now up to us all, as "Rugby tragics", to support Cheika's team. Also happy with the choice of Captain, let's hope he get's 'moore' on-field time on Saturday! They must...

In an era when accurate/reliable kickers in Rugby are considered essential by other countries, Australia must consider itself extremely fortunate that it has the depth of talent to allow it to exclude a kicker the calibre of Mike Harris! This comment will be no surprise to GAGR members who know...

RugbyFuture, I have one of those (with a white collar and long sleeves), and wear it with pride! In those days, they were fair dinkum jerseys, not "plastic fantastics"!!

HJ, it was bloody hard to listen to on a pathetic ABC Grandstand radio commentary! I've never had my finger nails pulled out one at a time, however, I think I now know how it feels!!! And Mrs Doug bit off all her fingernails!

That's ok mudskipper, happy to pass on current, accurate info. The surgeon has done his job, so now it's up to Sam and his support team.

I just got off the 'phone to a member of Sam Carter's (immediate) family. He was operated on in Bris-Vegas yesterday, and is now back in the Nation's Capital! His cartilage was removed and replaced, (presumably with a silicon product), his bones were 're-positioned', and the best news is that...

Yes Brumby Jack, Sam sent a txt to our daughter today advising that he had a "grade 3 mcl. fracture, and meniscus tear"! BUGGER!! After all these years of encouragement from his family and friends. I spoke to his Dad this morning, before any of us knew the severity of Sam's injury!

Thank you formerflanker. I appreciate your comments and the support of others. I'm sad for The Reds, but happy for the Force and the Rebels. When I visited fellow-Gold Coasters Tai McIsaac and Dave Te Moana, at the Force training, 12 years ago, I realised how bloody far away they are from "we...

Nah, i will never match Richo!! Richo is still the same.... Went to a schoolboy match with him on Wednesday. Listening to him explain to the younger players what the First 15 were doing wrong makes me realise the depth of knowledge of the game that Richo has. The loss of his former team-mate...

Thanks Roundawhile!

Not exactly a great time to come back to G&GR, after an extended period in a Bris Vegas private hospital, (because of a stuff-up involving a Staph. infection), and ongoing health issues since then! So the conjoined-twins (Richard Graham, and CEO Jim Carmichael) are still there, and Knuckles is...

Moderators, have you revoked Forum Rule # 6? Do you now allow reference to a member, a player, or an official, being sexist, a rapist, a paedophile, an alcoholic, a wife-beater, etc?

Hey RugbyReg, you, Bravegeart81, and anyone else who leads 'insular' lives isn't going to like this quote from today's Gold Coast Bulletin, covering the Australian PGA Tour 2014: "Phwoar! Top players striding down the fairways into female hearts". (By Lucy Ardern) "A different kind of...

You're obviously a person with no marketing skills or background, to make an ignorant statement like that Braveheart81.

A vote for "gender equality" by RugbyReg!

Hopefully, this is the "edited" version!

In 2015, I believe that the ARU should look to our highly-successful sports-women to supply motivational speakers or to present the jumpers to the Wallaby squad, prior to test matches. For example: Women's Rugby Sevens, Women's Cricket, Netball, Basketball, and Hockey, to start with, then there...

Some names there that I've never heard of, but I think I get your drift!!
