It doesn't reflect well on a section of those who go to games in Sydney. I almost said on a section of Waratahs' fans, but if you're booing you're something other than a fan. I was also astounded and ashamed to hear a significant number of people booing Michael Clarke as he walked out to bat...

This gets even more ridiculous. There are in fact two separate unpaid media intern positions being advertised - one for the Shute Shield (applications close tomorrow so be quick) and the other for Waratahs' match day media operations. Unpaid intern positions are very common in the US, the...

I think it is extremely commendable that volunteers are heavily involved. What I found ridiculous was the crassness of the press release and in particular the headline, "Rewards offered for Brumbies volunteers". This demonstrates a lack of understanding of the motivation of volunteers. They...

If they accept the two tickets does that mean they have to go?

"these volunteer positions would be suitable for a retired persons." "a ... persons"? "The roll would not go unrewarded" As in bread roll? And this comes from the media unit! I don't know whether the Brumbies are copying the example of the Waratahs who advertised for a two-day-a-week...

Presumably these are two iterations of your offensive line up, MT. Would you care to have a go at nominating the defensive unit?

Queenslanders are always welcome in the mother State, TOCC, although the reverse doesn't necessarily apply.

It wouldn't have done much good me asking myself, no9, so I asked Uni's legendary statistician, Craig "Fizza" Fear, and the answer for Phil Waugh was one year of Colts then 47 Grade games. all First Grade. We are not likely to see much of Super players coming back to play in the Finals series...

I seem to remember a view from the North that scrum collapses were predominantly an Australian problem, because of our deficiencies in scrum technique.

Use of the "agree" button, or its new equivalent "like", doesn't do justice to my support for you on this issue, wj. Tom Carter, for all his imagined faults, is arguably the most consistently performing player in Australian rugby. Not the best by any means, but one who puts in a positive...

I suggest that this thread has really lifted the bar in terms of wandering off topic. The link between Jim Williams and Quade Cooper is tenuous in the extreme. But please feel free to carry on.

“Brumbies players are preparing for their annual migration to the Top End …” “ … we are certainly looking forward to getting up there.” “… even though it’s still two months off everyone is already excited.” Well we are talking about players who have to spend all summer in Canberra. “… the...

The Rugby Empire Strikes Back T.Rugby has scooped the sporting story of the month, one that has thus far escaped the attention of the mainstream media. Having been alerted to the inroads made by the Kick-it-to-me code in the heartland of Australian rugby, the great minds who ensconse themselves...

You would think that club pride would be sufficient incentive.

Hawko's signature: Quoting Nutta: "For a front rower your scrum is meat, your lineout is potatoes and being useful around the park is gravy. Remember that you don't put gravy on the plate first." That diet is why front rowers have big arses.

Obviously you're excluding the player whose card has been marked never-to-be-picked or even considered by the national selectors.

sud, you've missed Alex Rokobaro.

The fact that it is proving impossible to nominate even one team is a damning indictment of our sport.

The very obvious reason, FANATIC, is opposing team defence. The only other time in recent memory we were able to run in tries at will against a supposedly quality opposition was in the second half against France almost exactly a year ago. Which rather proves the point.

Try to imagine the scene when he tried to explain that one to his boss, George Dubya.
