By the look of their socials , a few of them will be lucky to be sober to play next week . Mad Monday-ish . They are young and good on them for enjoying their success. Next weekend might be a bit scary. As far as Wilso is concerned, the accepted medical advice is no alcohol for at least...

The game had an amazing finish and the ground was pumping and stayed pumped for a long time after the final whistle, but it wasn’t a great game of rugby . The Reds made too many simple errors , gifted the Brumbies territory and possession ans still the Brumbies didn’t really do much with it ...

He had one appearance off the bench for the Tahs and got a run with Australia A against the Argies in Sydney . Would have spent the offseason in a pro setup . It’s hard to work out how these guys can look unfit when they are training so much , but yes I’m hearing you.

Yeah , lead story in today’s Australian sport is how RA risk damaging rugby by selling off potentially 15% to private equity. There’s a story three pages in about tonight’s GF . News have been doing their best to damage rugby for some time now. The improvement in ratings for rugby and the...

It’s true , talking to some mates from Easts at UQ last Saturday and they mentioned it then , big blow up with the coaching staff apparently. Jaybor talks about it on Pillar to Post , he seems happy with the Doggies welcoming him into the kennel. Think Easts are realising just how much...

Having FTA prime time for the GF is where our game should have been 20 years ago . Just hope the game does rugby proud , it’s an opportunity to grow , way more than could have been achieved with Fox.

Pasitoa is on the bench for the Brumbies .

Just listened to it , or at least the QPR part of it . Guessing someone from Stan may have also had a listen at some stage and might be the reason Jaybor wasn’t offered a gig with them? Very funny , but very loose . The line “ tongue kissed the fart box” was a bit of a stand out when...

Yeah , was actually surprised to see a few Reds’ players having a run in QPR this weekend. Thought they might take a more cautious approach in case a bubble is required for Trans Tasman.

Just hope he has the gonads to ref the driving maul by the letter of the law, might as well do a job on both set pieces .

Hasn’t been a “The Rugby Collective” podcast for a couple of weeks now , always find myself looking for the latest one come Wed/Thurs . Enjoy the reviews of the previous weekend and the previews of upcoming games from a players perspective. What’s up Sauce ?

Can confirm that what Blue & White posted is correct. Left the IGS boarding house at the start of the year , now at Marsden High with a Titan’s contract. Would have been quite the handful coming off the back of the scrum for IGS this year , but not to be. He does “extras” training with a...

Thorn rewards the hard work we as fans don’t get to see , would say there is more than something to what Phil has posted above. Blyth has been in the system since finishing school and Thorn has been his coach for quite a few of those years . He has been sent back to club rugby and would...

Agree Slipper and FF (Folau Fainga'a) will certainly test the front row depth .

Well done to Sunnybank for getting up by half a point on the head to head bet. Jets , are you sure you’re not running a professional book somewhere ?

This morning Wallis , Nasser and Grealy were all on the team sheet for UQ this weekend , but not now . Told Tuesday they aren’t available, something different Wednesday, back to Tuesday today . All a bit weird !

At the start of the season would not have imagined Easts getting a 12.5 point start on anyone, or Brothers getting a start over Souths . Strange times !

Carter’s back for Wests this week according to Rugby Xplorer, wonder if any of his teammates will avoid standing anywhere near him if a bit of push and shove breaks out ?

UQ were told yesterday that their Reds’ players won’t be available for club rugby this weekend. That could easily have changed inside 24hrs if it was a directive issued based on Queensland Health’s form on being totally inconsistent regarding reaction to Covid cases .

Pincus and Chibba would come in handy for UQ with Nasser and Grealy back in the Reds bubble. Pretty sure the entire greater Reds squad has been called back to Ballymore for the next couple of weeks .
