Not Jonathon White, that's for sure.

2013 SIRU Season Preview: Bonjour, Bula Bula – There is a strong international flavour in SIRU this season with some handy imports from Argentina, Fiji, France and the UK which is sensational news for this area and one that has the potential to continue bring players here in the long term. My...

I like your line of thinking, it all depends on how committed he is to the cause! :D

Sam Carter will be lucky to finish the season without leading the Yellow Card stats for the comp. In the Round 4 Brumbies v Waratahs Match - he should have been carded two penalties earlier than he was.

I went to the Brumbies Bulls game recently and was surprised to see the TMO clips being shown on the big screen. It was great to see, although it was an eerie feeling watching a game of footy where everything stopped and all the players and officials watched the clip for 30 seconds or so and...

This is a great post and is absolutely correct. Given the amount of analysis done by teams week in week out by the teams coaches and the referee coaches if a team is getting penalised more than another it is because the are infringing and not reacting to what the referee is asking them to do...

The Kings were unlucky not to get a win against the Brumbies, their defence was sensational tonight. I thought their #7 was their best player and he put on some solid hits. I think the Brumbies body height into contact was generally poor tonight, particularly from Auelua. Having said that, the...

The Reds played well and deserved the win. Nonu had a brain fart in an important final phase of the game which could have allowed the Highlanders to grind out a win. If they had held the ball instead of throwing a ridiculous pass, they may have been a chance. Did anyone else think that Fainga'a...

What's the value in that? So one team can smoke the rest?

Watching a game from the zoo would be tops.

You are correct there HJ, I was far too brief in my description above. You can lift a player past the horizontal as long as he is brought to ground safely.

As part of the tackle, he went past horizontal, the IRB has directed that these situations start at Yellow. I agree that it's contentious, but the ref is only doing what the IRB have directed them to. As a current referee it was interexting to see those two cards because as a rugby fan I...

This is an IRB directive, once the player is lifted past the horizontal, the referee must start at Yellow.

I thought this one had been put to bed already!

No mate, might be an idea to start one?

The formatting "automatically" makes the D in Damien into a smily face. Yes, I know I'm easily amused. :D

I've spoken to some Rugby League Referees here who use two way comms for new referees as an in game coaching tool. Personally, I think this would be a major distraction but can see the merit of being able to talk to a new referee during breaks in play. Not sure that there would be much value...
