That document is an awesome read! Not sure that there would be that much appetite for change within SANZAR, but then again if the price is right you never know!

They also get two year salary tax free if they retire due to injury, there was an article in the UK papers on it recently. The French labour laws are good for something! If it is about money the ARU should break the bank to keep him. He is on the way to becoming rugby's next superstar, and he...

Didn't really understand the reaction of the commentators, it was a blatant penalty end of story. If anything they needed to be questioning why the Queensland players made such a stupid mistake in a close game, I wonder if BNZ do the same receiving a kick off in the Bledisloe will the reaction...

The only positive from this week is that I won my fantasy cup match. Morne Steyn didn't go as well as I had hoped as captain, in fact 5 points is a pretty poor return I think

I think any renaming should involve removing HSBC from the official team title and calling the team NSW Waratahs. By all means have HSBC plastered all over the jersey, training gear, flags etc but given it is a bank and the financial industry isn't exactly flavor of the month in the press (since...

Every game for us is last chance saloon in terms of making the finals, and this is going to be a tough one. I just don't think we'll be able to handle the conditions at altitude and we'll run out of steam around the 60 minute mark. We're going to need a massive first half if we're going to win...

Leinster look to Deans as Schmidt departure looms http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/leinster-look-to-deans-as-schmidt-departure-looms-29210840.html In the article it suggests that Deans' agent has been throwing his CV around Europe, perhaps Dingo has accepted that the writing is on the...

Been crying out all year for the cross kick to Folau and what do you know they pull it out and it works perfectly! Hopefully we'll see it used a bit more in coming weeks. I think at the moment its hard to justify a place for Barnes in the team, can't see where he would fit in at the moment...

I think it is about more than money, as its been said this trip to SA can show him the perks of being a pro rugby player. We'll just need the other lads with him to mutter "Wouldn't get this in league" whilst they are on safari/diving with sharks.

Great performance from the Tahs, really impressed with our breakdown work and Izzy just keeps getting better. If we can repeat that performance in SA we could be looking at a couple of wins. Good catching up with some of the G&GR crowd after the game for some celebratory beers!

Jumping in near the end of this one but thought I'd add my two cents, apologies if the below has been raised. I'd have to agree that selecting Smith would set a dangerous precedent and the ARU need to come out publicly, draw a line under this and say what the protocol will be if this arises in...

Brought in Morne Steyn as captain, hoping the Kings celebrated a bit too hard in Melbourne!

Will you being heading back there post game? Won't make it down before the game but I've got a feeling I'll need a drink after

I believe that JOC (James O'Connor), Quade, Beale and Ioane call themselves the Budgie Brothers

Well apparently Schmidt, Kiss, Ruddock were interviewed in Dublin yesterday, Edwards and Mallet are being interviewed in London today and Link and White were interviewed last night by video. So I guess that makes Nick Mallet the AN Other

I've mentioned this a few times and I can't get my head around it, if Foley is worried kicking the ball away in the 22 at least try it when we have an advantage. We could potentially have a massive attacking asset and we aren't using it

I heard that it was reported on Irish radio that Jake White and Link were going to be interviewed, didn't believe it myself as neither seem keen. If Schmidt doesn't get it we're screwed, Kiss has been responsible for the poorest part of our game. Edwards is seriously over rated and failed...

I can't believe my eyes, has Cannonball been binned? What will we complain about now?

Not up to date on league either but I would hazard a guess that they couldn't offer anything that rugby can't match. Also weren't the mungo hacks saying every year the SBW was a definite to return to their code? I'm sure Izzy won't play out his days in rugby, but given the lure of a Wallaby cap...

Even if he is in Pro2, his lack of understanding of the defensive side of XV (and his small stature) means he is a liability from the outset, not to mention he is playing in a massively physical league giving more chance of serious injury. Didn't he only start playing 7s about a year ago? I...
