I'm a bit ignorant here, but what would an independant commission mean for the game? Is it supposed to take away the influence that NSWRugby and to a lesser extent now QLDRugby has over the ARU? Would it have any other ramifications for the game?

Hows that? The international and Super playes would'nt be there (playing at the top level) if they couldn't keep up with the play, and the referee, while having to get round the field, does a lot less work at each breakdown than the forwards do. They may have to work on their speed, but you'd...

58 for Vicks

We definitely should keep it. I think this falls under the "last try wins" clause

Me too. I actually have 2 spare tickets. I had a couple of people coming to use them (theyre separate from where I'm sitting) but thatfell through. If anyone wants them, send me a pm or something.

Well O'Conner is going the Justin Bieber look, Diggers is going a bit more grungy for the Pat Smear look (of the Germs, Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame)

Or maybe just forced to do some work. A bit of 'If you're gonna hang out there, expect to be chasing a couple of these'. I'm liking the lineup for tomorrow night. Pretty balanced pack with the inclusion of Vicks and Samo. We should dominate in the lineouts. Samo is big enough to be another...

He just made a tweet "Thank u ball boys, thank u linesman! Thats it..." He might have just caught the let down..

I'm not a passionate fan of his though. Can't stand the way he crabs across field. But for a world cup, experience counts. The Darkness know it, The Saffa's have experienced it last time and this time are relying too much on it. Aus aren't gonna get anywhere if there's no-one to steer the ship...

Well Gits and George Smith. Personally not a fan of Gits at 10, but I think he'd be invaluable to the Cup squad. With Sharpie in the forwards and Gits in the backs, it would give some much needed experience to this very young Wallaby side. A couple of blokes to add to (read: take up) the...

Not sure on what the make up of the squad will be. If its going to be an Australian A team why wouldnt they just call it Australia A v Canada. If they are going to be playing under the Baa Baa's name, shouldnt they have the uncapped players and international ones as well?

Funnily enough, and this is just my opinion, but to me it wasn't the strongest game Sharpe's ever had in the Gold Jersey. Still head and shoulders above how he used to play, but the runs he had didn't get as far over the advantage line as say Moore or Horwill. Lineouts he was solid as always and...

Look at Gits as well. He hasn't been in a winning team all year! Alright Brumbies won a few and he won a couple with the QLD club team and the wicks. As for number 8's I think Higgers showed enough over the last few games for the Wallabies to earn a starting spot. And if its not going to be a...

Berrick Barnes, Matthew Burke

Apparently, Benn Robinson will be out of selection ad is now supposed to be having surgery on Monday. He's been told that it will be a 5 month recovery, and is now going to be concentrating on getting ready by the start of the Super season next year. Doctors yesterday pretty much said "No...

No need. I was just mucking around trying to work out how to do it properly. I'm glad the Aussie Jersey isn't like the other kooga ones with the piping across the middle. Looks a lot better without I think

The away jersey looks good, but I can't believe it sits well with the traditionalists that would be right through the ranks of the RFU. I would have expected white side panels at least, or something signifying the traditional English strip other than the English Rose. And the World Cup 2003...

Interesting read that old article. If you notice the main quotes are from Michael Foley, who everyone I'm sure is well aware is forwards coach at the Tahs now. Looks like he hasn't forgotton that idea from the 07 cup. Look at the Waratahs forwards improvement in size over the last couple of...
