Official attendance was around 28000, but in the time honoured tradition of guessing the crowd that I mate and I partake in, I thought it was more around 21000. Drew Mitchell is running again at 100% of his body weight (He was using a machine on a treadmill that partly supports him, and has...

Anyone else notice Rocky's positioning in the last few minutes of the match when Samoa turned the ball over and some grunt in the forwards was needed to salvage something? He was sitting back in fullback/right wing defensive position on the around his own 22. Poor attitude from the man meant to...

glad I got in yesterday at 49.99 then. Got the confirmation email finally so hoping it comes before the Springbok game but not holding my breath. At least it'll be here before the main action of the Cup

Ok I might have been a bit prematurely excited. I haven't recieved an email and no money has left my account as yet. Has any one had an issue like this or has it been almost instantaneous. I know that the junk filter may have blocked the email, but usually money leaves the account so fast...

I just ordered a Wallabies World Cup jersey and Wallabies Polo to wear to work on those casual days from the original link. $90 rather than $220 in Rebel. Its amazing that you can get it that cheap from the other side of the globe. It obviously pays to shop around...

It will be difficult for most people here to give you a hand with one and three. What it looks like its asking is to use the knowledge you have already learned about the phases of competition and nutrition and apply it to what you might believe they do in the Rugby World Cup. In other words...

I actually like the three colours there. Takes away from the stainless steel, new kitchen appliance look of it. And it wasn't until the Super 14 that the colours were dropped from being associated with Super Rugby. The Super 12 Logo featured the 3 colours in the shield.

It was. I think thats why the crowd didnt get too into it. I know its why I couldnt stop shivering long enough to do anything.

The advertising will definitely feature Cooper heavily, brief clip of Ioane's helicoptor and lots of running rugby. If it were me I'd be trying to draw the audience in with the queensland connection. Ie.3rd massive game for queensland in a week. then depending on crusaders or stormers getting...

That dark scot jersey has to be a training one. I mean black and gold? (at least thats what it appears to be on my work monitor) can't they just stick with the purple and white?

Personally I don't see why Horne should be in front of Mortlock for Outside Centre. He's only played one or two games this year for the Tahs, similar amount of time in Super Rugby to Elsom. Horne is a brilliant defender and hits with the force of a bloke double his size. But would ha have had...

I don't think thats cynical. I think it was a calculated move to have that exact effect. Not only are these new guys that are coming into the side, going to want to shine in a rare super rugby appearance, its also a final and as Lam said in the time honoured position of talking up opponents...

I just meant for this week. Holmes should be able to cover it, but if he's starting it could create problems towards the end of the match. And I thought they had won once before ove in Auckland. My mistake.

They might as well cut to the chase and get married. Theyre not fooling anyone. But seriously the worrying thing about the Tahs on friday is the lack of depth at 10. If Beale has to play there, he won't have the freedom he currently enjoys at 15. Shame we could't poach a brumbies one. The...

Great game on the weekend. Got there just in time to see Turner race over the line. Waratahs defense was epic and the only slip was after the hooter, put it down to some nice work by Giteau. Anyone know if there are any returns from the injury bench? Halangahu isn't a certainty for the...

Oh my God! I just saw in the JOC (James O'Connor) thread you said Smith was going too. Have the Force just been focused on trying to secure O'Conner and let their other started fall by the wayside? Inman isn't too surprising. He was in the year below me at Waverley then he left in year 10 or 11 to go to...

Isn't Inman the starting 13? Can't remember if he's back from injury yet. Stannard's working well at 10. Ripia (spelling?) is there as well. The Force have a few hard running centres already (fairbanks, sidey, inman) they might do with someone as a second 5. Its not like they dont have depth...

Yeah it would have been nice to see O'conner stay with the Force. If he's signed with the Rebels it would be good for Melbourne having 2 class players as Beale and JOC (James O'Connor) to help build their brand up, as this year could have gone better for them. I don't think the Force will struggle. The couple...

I forgot he was going to Japan, so he's unlikely to be included, as there would be no point for him to have any further development under Deans if there's no long-term prospect for him. But until he plays for Tonga he's still eligible for the Wallabies and he has been one of the form young guys...

If Sharpe was in the same form as 2 years ago, there would be no doubt about it. But Sharpes game has vastly improved in the last couple of seasons and his is one of the first names to come up when picking a form squad. I'd say Vickermans name would be thrown around as being included in the...
