interesting to see the tahs have named McKibbon as captain for the trial, with Foley and Tilse(!) as VCs. full squad here: http://www.waratahs.com.au/News/NewsArticle/tabid/157/ArticleID/8280/Default.aspx given the size I guess they will have alternate 1st and second half teams. Either way...

Lee Grant - from what you've seen has Lopeti worked on his ball handling? I recall from a trial v Fiji A 2 years ago he dropped about 5 balls from the back of the ruck/scrum, and in games since has had a poor carry as well

oh brave new world..... I wonder what the Tahs responsibility in this matter is? As the employer will they bear the brunt of any decision?

not being smart arsey (for a change) what about asking him on his opinion on the tahs captaincy? A few posters here think he would be a good natural leader, would he accept the captaincy if offered or would he want to focus more on developing his game without added pressure?

Why is that? How can that be translated to pro rugby?

Did they teach you to position yourself such that Richie is not visible?

does anyone know if there is a pathway program for refs in Australia? I'm curious to know how the system works

The Wife advises the Sydney 6ers are playing a trial game at Drummoyne oval on Jan 2. Free entry. Well done on the scoop Hugh

Easier to walk out of than Bruce too

that is very interesting. Is it the same story with Manuka in Canbera who just got new lights, or are they taxpayer funded?

On the skills comments, one thing I found very interesting was that Chieka was trying to break player habits of catching a ball that was not in front of them. He said players had to trust the passer who may be throwing a long ball to someone else. If it was just a poor pass they would have to...

drummoyne oval has a nice new set of flood lights so they probably cant afford him. Balmain it is

We ll he can manage with terrible service, so should be suited to the tahs. Honestly, some of those dummy half passes were shocking

Rob Walton. What ever happened to the wobbler?

I also saw that, there was a story a few days ago 100% with you jarse. Why put him at uni?

Pity the poor buggers who have to lift him in the line out

Are these new names from the academy lee? A mate tells me in the tahs v academy game the academy got up, and Cheika brought a number of the academy players into the training group
