SIRU Pre Season Tournament Wrap Up Saturday saw 9 teams head out to Kapooka to have one last trot before the season starts on the 14th April. Wagga City, Cootamundra, Griffith, Deniliquin, Albury, Waratahs, CSU, RARC and Leeton all turned up on the day to some magnificent fields and a sunny...

I agree totally SFR. I'm not a fan of the NH refs, although Romain Polite is a good ref. I think it's a cultural thing. When you look at the mindset of the SH teams, they generally want to play expansive 15 man rugby as opposed to the attitude of the NH teams who generally want to strangle the...

I saw this the other day on the SA referees website, it seems Paddy has been promoted to selector of the sevens in preparation for the Olypmics. Also, Bryce Lawrence has been dropped from the A Panel. I think this means he won't be doing any more test, but not sure about Super Rugby. I...

Did anyone get over to the Leeton 10's on the weekend? Another Tahs v City final, also interesting to note that both East's (ACT) teams were bundled out by Tahs. City have shown some good pre-season form so far, I'm looking forward to seeing them run around in the SIRU 15 a side tournament...

I think this one is a hangover from the good old days when lineouts were a lot scrappier than they are now.

At least he only put in half a game tonight!!

Vinny shits on Bryce.

I agree Hawko, I like the way Vinny referees. It's a shame he doesn't get more game time.

I agree Braveheart, he comes across as a bit of a wanker really.

Well, that is the point of SmartRugby... it is purely an insurance exercise. Absolute minimum requirement for all players/coaches/referees/managers involved in the game.

Don't forget the Development Staff there either FTS. Vikings Development Budget rivals the Brumbies Community Rugby budget.

From my knowledge of the Australian Coaching structure (I am a Level II Coach) this body shape should form a core skill for all players. It was about 2005 when I did my Level II but it was a core technique taught to all coaches through the SmartRugby, Level I and Level II Courses. I recently...

I knew about that one Pablo - Trendy was a good coach, it's interesting how the landscape changes over time. I remember Wayne Southwell thought that the GF was going to go into extra time in 2002 or 2003 (can't remember which one exactly) so he put the Wests First Grade side through a 20...

That's potentially three new first grade players to the Vikes, how do they do it? From memory, Wayne Southwell coached at Wests in the early 2000's (and did a good job too), there has obviously been some movement at the clubs over the past few years.

Dave Armstrong has been picked for the ACT XV to play Tonga A tomorrow, well done Dave! I hope he's already in Canberra because the way this weather is, he may not get over there otherwise!

I reckon the clubs would want to know who they are playing when and where well in advance of the season kick off so all the Level III Coaches can set out their 2012 periodic plans... Pre-Season started last week, far out! Clubs in SIRU have been training longer than that!! No dramas. I...

Is there a 2012 draw out yet? Fucking Brumbies webshite doesn't have it on there. Can anyone help?

Anyone know if Crazy Sam Shirley got a run?

Or maybe it's the girl's he's reffing for? He is a bit of a show pony.

Thanks for that namtrak, losing Adam leaves a decent size hole in the front row mate, are the Kiwi/s any good? Is Justin Wheatley having a run again?
