I feel I should follow my above comment with this: Credit is due to the brumbies for how they played tonight. They defended tirelessly and never gave up. A number of their big name players really rose to the challenge and put their hand up for wallaby selection. A while back in one of the...

I take the stance due to Australian rugby being pretty much constantly struggling in our crowded sports market. Bonus points are crucial for getting home finals, and playing at lang park is (normally) crucial to the reds success. A reds premiership would be huge for the game and would go a long...

I really dislike the Giteau for denying us the bonus point. I can understand the decision, but at the same time I can't help but think what it might mean for Australian rugby.

I didn't even think he did anything wrong. He was just stupid to lead with the head. I hazard a guess at saying that probably happens numerous times every weekend in club rugby, and nothing comes of it.

I think the flankers would be: 6. Thompson 7. Todd/Robinson

Amen. I think bringing back rucking would fix alot. And I agree there are to many little laws around the ruck that contradict other ones. Thats actually pretty astute. I know I am guilty of doing just that. 33 minutes in play is what I think is holding rugby back in australia. It might...

Paarl do you think the springboks could stay internationally competitive if they ditched super rugby and just played a full currie cup season? Not trolling or anything, just a genuine question.

If JOC (James O'Connor) comes to the reds than I can't see him hanging around. Good luck to him, rebels and force are an option as well?

JOC (James O'Connor)'s improvement suddenly makes much more sense. On Quade, he seems to be much better kicking from the left side than the right side?

Dominant and aggressive is fine. But if it means breaking the laws of the game all it leads to is more stoppages; which I think we all can agree is negative rugby.

I don't quite agree with that stance. Why waste what precious little money rugby has on players who are not planing on staying loyal to the code in the future.

Reds wont let him go will they?

Certainly seems to be more of a problem at the sharks than at the other franchises. Isn't rhodes a former sharks player?

Pushing the rules is part of the Kiwi game plan, and they get away with it so often that when they don't they should cop it on the chin. Rugby is meant to be played within the laws of the game. Breaking these rules should never be the advantageous option, if you do it often enough you deserve...

I hope the sharks meet the tahs in the finals and deysel gets what's coming to him.

I hadn't thought about it to be honest. I made the comment about giteau not as a definitive selection but rather to just test his worth for the world cup squad. Also to give O'Connor a bit of a rest and do a bit of reconditioning for the world cup. Let me make it clear I don't rate giteau very...

There are far more new south welshmen living in queensland than there are saffas, or kiwi league fans. What it illustrates among other things is a failure by the waratahs to connect with the nsw public, expat or not. If you were selling reds jerseys for 50 bucks (further discounted towards the...

If a player is connected to an nrl club does that rule them out of selection?

I think realistically Pocock, Beau and Hodgson would have to go down before George got the call up. That said I still think he is the best behind pocock.

Certainly kept a few of the current stars out of the Australian schoolboys team back in 07. Would be great to see him playing rugby again.
