Agreed we are on the improve. I'm hoping Higgers comes back next year the way he was playing before injury to put the pressure on Mowen and Fardy to keep their spots. Genia and Cooper have been playing better but I agree with Bob Dwyer that they could be even more effective (they were great...

hold a seat on the ARU board?

would love to see the law makers get rid of the stupid rule (in my opinion) of a player catching a ball say 1m in the field of touch but because he has a foot over the line it is deemed out. Think it should be that the ball is out when it crosses the plane of touch and touches the ground or...

I have a 2011 Wallaby jersey signed by all the world Cup squad, would it be worth anything?

Seeing as though this thread is more about proposals for developing rugby more than Shute Shield 2014 (as the thread name implies) here is my 2c: The ARU should fund 2 new F/T positions whose sole responsibility is developing village rugby. The first position would be Director of Coaching...

Obviously the ARU aren't one of the big nations or they didn't complain loudly or often enough about Kaplan. Also, this doesn't explain why Bryce Lawrence wasn't nobbled after all the bitching and moaning coming out of South Africa after his performance in the World Cup quarter final.

I was watching a SS semi or final (can't remember which) game the other week and the half time rugby wrp showed highlights of a Canterbury v Manawatu(?) match where at times the Cantabs ran through the opposition's defences with what used to be basic catch / pass / support plays. Very similar to...

I blame Eddie Jones. The rot started with him whereby players were picked on reputation and not form. Since then (some) players believe that selection is a right not something that is earned. B.E. (before Eddie) Saint Rod had the Wallabies playing with hunger and an undying will to win.

I thought Folau looked underdone last night, is he completely over his injury? There was one passage of play where the ABs put a kick through and he seemed unable to stretch out in the chase for the ball. Agree with others re: Mogg in that he needs to be dropped until he improves his...

Schools get none. School Old Boy clubs and university clubs would be part of either Country or City, depending on where they are located. 1 vote for sponsors and 3 for members.

Does she have any background in rugby?

just Robbies.

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/job-in-the-bag-now-new-coach-must-win-on-field-20130712-2pvg3.html Was waiting to see what crap Spiro would come up with in his man-love for Robbie. Loved the bit about not counting the All Black losses his winning percentage was 71%. What other Oz...

Surely Matt Burke and Lachie Turner should be swapped around. Also, haven't heard much of John Ballesty before how many Wallaby games (roughly) did he play? Would have thought Scott Johnson (Scotland coach not sure of spelling of last name) would have been in the frame there.

We didn't lose that game due to the referreing. Thought he was pretty spot on with the decisions, though Alexander was unlucky to be binned. Kepu made an improvement when he came on though as it stemmed the flow a little.

60' and George North scores. The Wallabies need to change the game up by bringing on impact players off the bench. Who does Deans have on the bench McCalman and Simmons, serviceable? yes, game breakers? no. Selection is a game changer in coaching and Deans has invariable gotten it wrong...

would be a good use of a foreign marquee spot whilst we train up some youngsters ready to replace TPN.

In the 6N France don't play themselves when they achieve the Grand Slam either. As for this being a 'Grand Slam' tour that is a misnomer. This is a Home Nations plus Italy tour, if they go through undefeated then they will have achieved the Grand Slam. Nit-picking I know.

Hong Kong? Ex-pat market, lots of corporate dollars.... good time zone.
