Well, Wayne Smith is less than complimentary about it - and GAGR gets a mention...for talking down the record player participation figures released a little while ago...

Given that the ARU seemed on track for bankruptcy when he came in, I think he's improved the financial position substantially. But definitely after the Lions tour they should be looking for someone outside the usual suspects

Yes, I'd have liked a close-up of his face after a few of those late hits from the Fijians last week...and his pass/kick/run stats for that game must have been something like 40/2/2.

Very brave of you to say that Reg - I assumed Reds fans would figure it would be better for him to be playing in France than for the 'Tahs.

OK. Are these points ratings made public for each player?

Thanks Eyes and Ears, very handy. Is a minor test cap one awarded against a non-Tri-Nations/6 Nations country?

You're right Moses, I've tried the bridge, the tunnel and the Gladesville bridge, and there's no fun to be had. But I'm looking forwrd to the footy.

I'll be there, with 7 year old and 6 year old, possibly wife and 3 year old, so pre-match drinks? Probably something out of a Dora The Explorer cup. Though I'll need something after crossing the harbour on a Friday evening.

Other clubs are supposed to take advantage of the circumstances available to them - Eastwood, for example, has its own complex at Millner that it doesn't have to share with other sports, Parramatta is at the geographical heart of Sydney and draws on a huge potential population, Penrith likewise...

Foxtel on Xbox sounds like a cheaper way to get just a few channels, but no mention on rugby on it - at least at this stage.

Are all the Super rugby games on Fox in actual HD?

Yes, but that's all players, from schoolboys to Wallabies. "Player power " set-ups like the former Brumbies, or the more recent Aust cricket team for that matter, are great for keeping the current stars happy and terrible for succession. I don't agree with all of Robbie's selections, or use...

Honestly, it sends a shiver down your spine to find out what some of these guys get up to in their off season... http://www.alastairbaxter.com/2011/01/a-sustainable-vision-for-greater-western-sydney/#more

Lee makes a good point above about wanting to know how your team is going in its division/conference as opposed to the overall standings. Topping the conference will be all people will be interested in until that outcome becomes clear, then you'll want to know which teams are going to pick up...

Already bought my $20 family ticket, and all seating is general admission. A promising start to the season by Waratahs administration.

Can I enrol for a doctorate at that university? I'd love to bang out a 292 page document on why the ABs might lose, or any other team for that matter. In fact, I could have fired off about 300 pages on the problems in the Australian cricket team before I went to sleep the other night. I assume a...

Agree Lee - and a few injuries will undoubtedly throw a spanner in the works of any prospective rotation policy. Is this post 1000 on this thread? Excellent. Achieved something at work today.

No, no, no. By all means, he should head off to France for a season or two to pay off the mortgage, but I don't think we need another league recruitment disaster on our hands. I think it's a credit to JON that rugby hasn't even been mentioned in all of this - mind you, it's probably only...

Groucho, that really sounds fascinating. I stand corrected on my earlier cynicism. Sounds like it can register a lot of data about the humnas opposing it, as well as providing a simulation of an opposing scrum. I wonder if the Italian program includes relentless boring in at 45 degrees?

Genia has said this week that the pain is now manageable. Given that last week he said he was OK to play, I assume this means the pain is not really manageable, but he'd really like to play. I hope Deans opts for Burgo again.
