Big T could be on the move next year: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/rugby/latest/edinburgh-s-done-deal-for-19st-fijian-winger-1-3681050 .

I put up a blog earlier: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/review-waratahs-v-chiefs-trial/ .

Steady on - cost me $10 at Vinnies. Cheika was reasonably happy after the game. Many of the Wallabies didn't play last week and have trained very lightly (which I knew). His main concern was the lack of physicality in the forwards. I thought the Chiefs got of their line quicker and to the...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't know the reason. My informant said "he left" soon after he was named in the squad of 36 to go into the real crunch training period in the new year. I took this to mean it was voluntary. Yeah I rated him too - he's a Swiss Army Knife of a player - when you see him play...

That is the mantra started by TGC. All the acolytes will preaching the same Word. Both Tala and Pete B were running in the hit-outs yesterday so my call that PB is no chance may be way off. Dennis seems to be as fit as a trout also. If that is the case all the Tahs may be right for Rd. 1 -...

NSW Under 20s See blog here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/nsw-20s/ Adrian Delore has left the programme. John Walker has had an operation (ankle I think) and his availability is pending; Jack Hayson is now training. Andrew Vatuvei is added to the squad. There is a trial match...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Heard that also from somebody from the Argentine press living in Oz. He also confirmed that once the Argies are in Super Rugby that national coach Hourcade will not choose overseas players. .

I saw a familiar face at Tahs training today but couldn't place him. Then it clicked - I couldn't place him because he was in the wrong country. It was Mario Ledesma the sacked forwards coach at Montpellier who also worked with Cheika at Stade Francais in the same role. They said he was just...

I can't recall Tala being in any hit-outs yet but I will have a look this arvo. .

Agree. A clue here is that the Gen Blue senior team is playing in the curtain raiser. Last year this team was made up of players not in a matchday 23 that week. Therefore the Waratahs should be playing most of the regular team, though Dave Dennis is still a marginal prospect. Tala Gray and...

Palu played a bit for the Dragons but it didn't work out. Bardon has done a top job of writing a preview of 6N. Check it out here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/2015-six-nations-preview/ .

There is a blog on the trial yesterday here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/waratahs-take-three-teams-trial/ .

I couldn't see Willie O and I asked TPN if he was at the ground and he said he wasn't Not a bad hit out from the Tahs and their ruck work as good - a lot of dropped ball though. Not many of the Wallabies or ex-Wallbies played: AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Betham, Dennis, Folau, Kepu, Foley, Hoiles, Hooper, Phipps...

Yeah I'll be there. :) There is a bit of a blog about the trial and Horne here. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/waratahs-ready-trial/ .

Not exactly quotes of the week, but a few weeks ago. Clermont v. Toulouse - Round 15 The visitors nearly turn the ball over near the corner flag on their goal line. Robbie Nock: That's a very dangerous position for Toulouse to lose possession. Carry on. .

He was running OK today in a straight line and stepping sideways stationary. He's about where Dennis was five weeks ago. Cheika had them on edge today at training - if they don't perform in the two trials they won't be playing in Rd 1, whatever their names are. My bad - it is in Merrylands...

The Waratahs are playing Randwick, Sydney Uni and Parramatta in 30 minute sessions on Sat Jan31. There was some confusion (started by me) about where the game was going to be held. I heard Merrylands - and thought it was the ground by the Merrylands RSL, which has been used for a lot of Oz...

^^^^^^^^ The Racing Metro coach must fancy Szarzweski too. He's 32 years old and he's just been signed for another 5 years. No comment - only quotes? I shouldn't have written that …… and I felt sorry, and I felt bad about what happened. Monica Lewinsky .

Northampton v Racing Metro - ERCC A scrum doesn't work for referee Nigel Owens so the main commentator brings in the scrum expert to earn his pay. Alastair Eykyn What's going on here Flats? David Flatman All sorts of stuff in there Ali. I don't know, they don't know, Nige doesn't know; so...

I wouldn't count on Betham early. I didn't see him train today - neither the Tahs or the U20s showed up at the usual place - but he still wasn't on the park last week. Dennis was running better but Tala Gray is still doing his no-running work (boxing and such) on the sidelines. Unless...
