    Plus the Canberra CBD is a fascinating place to wander around for a few hours - trying to find the bloody thing.

    Brumbies v Cheetahs Super Rugby R3 2012

    Older Aussie members will probably recall that someone who was totally incompetent would be referred to as an "Errol Flynn", the inference being that "everything he touched he spykered" to use Paarl's terminology. Perhaps your man Naka will similarly lend his name to Saffa vernacular, Paarl...

    It's Goodbye for the Fainga'a Twins

    "Quality of living" for the player manager would rank very highly among the "many other intangibles".

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby round 3

    Isn't it about time this myth was recognised as such? Strong defence? In his Super career since 2008 Rob Horne has attempted 276 tackles and missed 69 of them - exactly 25%. This season he has attempted 29 tackles and missed nine of them - 31.0% of attempted tackles missed. (Source: Fox Sports...

    Shute Shield Rd.1

    This discussion is much too premature, at least with respect to Uni. They had the trial against Samoa A some weeks ago and are about to have more trials. I don't think that the coaches would be thinking yet about the composition of the Round 1 team. I know that both Tom Heslop and Oli Atkins...

    Sydney Colts 2012

    Tahboy, I made the mistake of responding to you regarding Brogan Roods because I thought it was a genuine inquiry, but I see you are in the business of spreading lies and deliberate misinformation about how the Sydney Uni system works. You also traduce the University itself: "free Uni spots"...

    If Harris gets done on the basis of that video he should definitely appeal.

    The Tom Carter incident

    Undoubtedly, IS, it's because of that link that I know so much about him. I first talked to him when he was in Year 12 and have followed his career closely since then. If he were playing for another club that wouldn't be the case. Since Tom joined the Waratahs in I think 2005 there would have...

    Sydney Colts 2012

    Tahboy, I have had extensive conversations with Brogan and his mum and I think they are fully aware of the details of the Uni system. As to why "clubs hate what Uni do" I don't think you can focus on just one thing: the list of reasons appears endless.

    Suncorp Stadium Staff

    My apologies to one and all. I saw the footage on here and assumed it was at ANZ. When I couldn't find it here I Googled for it and found it was the Suncorp footage of the "QLD lady" previously mentioned. So not only did I get the game wrong and the stadium wrong and the code wrong but also...

    Suncorp Stadium Staff

    And then we had the footage of the male Reds supporter at ANZ last weekend not only "pissing at his seat" but sitting in the rising damp while he did so and then pulling his dacks up without a care in the world. There are subtle cultural differences between the states.

    The Tom Carter incident

    You're asking precisely the wrong man, daz. I am and have been totally mystified but his continued omission has seemingly given a lot of joy to a lot of people. Even when they've had what they wished for the ridicule just goes on. Whatever his presumed faults I admire him greatly for continuing...

    Roll Away. Yeah, right!

    Blue, let's take it back a little. Those of us who have been around for a while know that the present day ruck bears next to no relationship to the traditional ruck. The problem that you draw attention to is a consequence of the fact that there are bodies laying everywhere at the breakdown. The...

    Agreed, Godfrey, they "can" and probably will. I have no desire to censor anyone. Let hostilities resume.

    Sydney Colts 2012

    Over the years, Tahboy, there have been many Sydney Uni players who started off in Seconds or Thirds Colts and went on to play professionally and even for the Wallabies. Both Luke Burgess and Nick Phipps began in Thirds Colts. I think the appropriate level to start varies from player to...

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    I'm from Wollongong, IS. It was the normal way of showing emphasis, and my view on substituting the diminutive "Junior" for "Under 20" deserved emphasising. Over 20 years ago when I switched from coaching rugby in Wollongong to coaching private school university students I noted some slight...

    Chabal to play Subbies Rugby in Australia !

    This is seriously weird. A French international player is paid to fly to Australia to make just one celebrity appearance in a Sydney game of very modest standard, and someone from South Africa posts a photo of the game .

    Sydney Colts 2012

    Tahboy, I think Tom English will probably play grade although he is involved with the Australian Sevens at present. Uni have a large squad of Colts training including some promising looking newcomers. Personally I don't believe in singling out individuals because I think players should be...

    The Tom Carter incident

    I think that the reality, Ruggo, is that he has woken up to the fact that whatever he does he will still get slagged by those who are always focussed on "the faults of his game". Even after an outstanding effort like last night Lindommer will still be convinced that he only threw one "pass all...

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    And who was the mental giant who came up with the idea of labelling it the "IRB Junior World Championship"? That's a rhetorical question; it has all the hallmarks of a decision arrived at by a committee of dimwits and seat cushions. Fuck me, they're men who are 20-years-old not 17-year-old...
