    Sydney University: Willie Doep

    Willie Junior played mainly 3rd Grade last year even though he was still eligible to play Colts. Then starting in November he threw himself into the Club's EDS (Elite Development Squad) program with great enthusiasm. Strength and conditioning coach Tim Leahy rates Willie as one of the fittest of...

    Burke strikes back

    More pearls of perspicacity from the seer of Super Rugby. This week's dissertation is titled: "Tahs must play like Beale or die wondering." As we have come to expect from the great man the article's contents live up to the sheer poetry of that headline. "Beale was outstanding from fullback...

    I wouldn't have thought so, Skippy.

    Shute Shield 2011

    It turns out Benny's injury was to his ankle, topo. Talking to him afterwards he seemed to think it would soon come good but that depends on an MRI tomorrow. Hopefully it's not the dreaded syndesmosis.

    All Blacks / crusaders 5m scrum tactics

    With respect, tragic, I think you are misreading both the intentions of the attacking pack and the dynamics of the situation. Firstly you are paying too much attention to the hit. In the modern era everyone seems to be focussed on the engage as if it is the main contest in the scrum. The hit and...

    Just so long as when you stand up to go to the dunny you don't block the vision of us aficionados of true rugby.

    Shute Shield 2011

    Aldy's emergence this year is largely due to having the ideal training and playing environment, as you're probably aware, topo. Uni's EDS program started in November and involved a lot of heavy weight training as well as strong man type exercises such as tractor tyre flipping, farmers' walks...

    Waratahs 2012

    Foley is a great talent, LG, who spent two or three years in Colts learning his craft. Unfortunately if he does not soon walk away from Sevens it is unlikely he will ever achieve his potential in real rugby. In Sevens there is no real quarterbacking role and tries can be created out of what in...

    World Cup Squads

    It was very widely reported at the time, daz. I certainly remember the allegation that he groped Wayne Pearce's teenage daughter. As for him being "one of 'those' kind of morons", he could "moron" for Australia - or preferably for Italty.

    World Cup Squads

    My money's on he's not that into being able to tell his grandkids about how he played in a Rugby World Cup. How much of an earn would the Italian players get for playing in a World Cup? Wikipedia's take on his reasons for coming across to rugby: Craig Gower was fired as Panthers captain after...

    J'OC won't be playing 12 for the Wallabies

    I wonder if some of those who assume that because someone is paid a truck load they must be worth it have ever woken with a start in the middle of the night and pondered the possibility that "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy who's winging it!"

    Bulls vs Waratahs, 2011R16

    Yesterday on another thread, in response to a Jamie Pandaram article suggesting that Berrick might play 10 and Hangers 12, I wrote: In relation to the first of my suggestions, I am pleased that the Waratahs selectors thought the same way. I suppose it is asking too much to hope that Chris...

    Video: Judiciary looks into Rhodes collar and Deysel throttle

    I totally disagree, Moses. A gutless act like that deserves a couple of whacks.

    Pressure on the Waratahs to make the Finals

    On occasion I am very critical of the 'Tahs because they don't seem to have a coherent game plan but their results are not exactly abysmal. They still are in strong contention for a finals berth. But I would never consider not watching them even if they were at the bottom of the table...
