This is probably the 1st time I have seen Joubert ref a game dead sober, I previously thought he was always biased against my team (usually the tahs) but I think someone captured it well earlier when they said he is biased against rugbyy. As for Burgess, if there was anyone other than Cordingly...

Moore gets my vote as best hooker in Aus. I think Moore reminds Sean FP of himself, which would automatically rate him as worlds best in SFP's eyes. Not sure about worlds best - I am sure some Saffars think highly of Smit for starters. It seems like we have been waiting for ever for TPN to get...

Thanks for this, maybe a 5th place finish would be a better result for Eng as it ensures that they wouldn't meet the all blacks again until the final. I have been hanging around, just been real busy with work (including OS travel) so haven't been posting much.

I read today that the poms loss to us on the weekend puts them at risk of dropping out of the top 4 ranked nations, in which case they would not be in the top 4 seeds for the next RWC. Clearly this isn?t necessarily a terminal blow to their RWC 2011 ambitions (given they won the 03 RWC after...

Very good point Noddy. After we made lost the Bris test, I made a point to my kiwi colleagues that I would be prepared to sacrifice the Honkers test if we beat England at Twickenham. However, I agree that another away victory this weekend against a well respected oppostion is needed to confirm...

I'm glad to hear that Nick. Subbies has been horribly soft on dirty players in the past. In my last season, our first grade prop got king hit right in front of the ref (it was while he was setting a scrum) by a flanker from one of the dirtier teams which put him out for the rest of the game...

I view it from the other way round. Its hard for new clubs to start up as their players have to be prepared to travel anywhere in Sydney in order to play. You have to be prepared to pretty much sacrifce a whole day on most weekends if you play regularly. We had one season where we had...

NTA, isnt that what trials are for? Actually I think that subbies would be much better (and draw more players) if it was district based rather than player number based, like Soccer (And I think League) is. Nearly every club has more players for home games than away games, and thats partly...

There is a big write up in the local paper this week on South Rebels (even more column space than either the dragons or the sharks). Its pretty grim reading - last or second last in all grades, record scores against them, very low numbers at training (12 turned up at the last session and thats...

The local paper down here at cronulla claimed souths are an option for Rattlebones. I would guess they would be his third choice.
