In recent times the Wix had George Gregan, Anthems Whittaker, and Pat Phibbs on their books (2 Wallabies, 2 Ponies and the Waratahs halfbacks). The Clubs 4th best halfback was playing Shute Shield.

That sounds a lot. Is the ARU throwing money at the Ponies like have done previously at Rebels (and my mob every 5 years when we need bailing out because the Board hasn't managed things properly). Administrators running things at a deficit is noting new in Australian Rugby.

Series Standings after 2 rounds 1 - FIJI: 22 (1), 13 (5) - Total Points 35 (no change) 2 - SOUTH AFRICA: 13 (5), 22 (1) - Total Points 35 (up 3 places) 3 - USA: 17 (3), 12 (6) - Total Points 29 (no change) 4 - ARGENTINA: 10 (7), 19 (2) - Total Points 29 (up 3 places) 5 - ENGLAND: 19 (2), 7 (10)...

You missed a good game as your boys did well to keep the Soap Dodgers to zero enroute to the Bowl Final. I think that means last weeks Finalist from Dubai has finished in 10th position this week.

How good is 7's? Finals will be between Sefrika, Les Frogges, Los Pumas, and Kenya, with NZL, FIJ, AUS, and USA battling it out for the minor money in the plate competition, with last weeks finalist (Soap Dodgers) in the Bowl with Canada, who beat NZL in pool play. Olympic Tournament may be...

Hope the weather is kind next Thursday, and not a 35 degree + scorcher. As far as the sun is concerned, the game will be at 3:15pm. Something about Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Usually announced in conjunction with the Xmas Drinks.

One hopes that the "Western Sydney Relocation" thought bubble has burst. IIRC this proposal from ARU came after the Woodies had put 400+ points to zip on The Emus across all 4 grades and it proposed amalgamations of the Mighty Parramatta 2 Blues and the Emus with a relocation to Blacktown, and...

The Rebels/Rising EPP should keep their eye out for Jerry Lemalu. I believe he is still domiciled in Melbourne, but has been playing Colts Rugby in Sydney. He is only 19ish and is the sort of fellow that would be useful to have around in Vic Club Rugby and fringe NRC.

any copy of the 2016 draw on line? Rugby Link still has the 2015 detail on it, with no 2016 data. http://www2.rugbylink.com.au/common/pages/public/rv/draw.aspx?gradeid=18073_1&save=0&entityid=53029&id=DRAW

Didn't realise Brumbies used Queensland Mungo SOO rules regarding the definition of "local". Just like his Alstonville mate, Jake McIntyre, is not a Queenslander, Rowan Perry is a Far North Coast NSW product. http://www.northernstar.com.au/news/jake-rowan-closer-to-team-for-france/1792401/...

Nothing Else Matters. I would have thought that winning matters. The slogan could be preparing the Reds faithful for a long season - It's all about playing for Queensland, even if it is before an empty stadium, because winning doesn't matter, nor does engaging with the supporters. Will...

How did they miss out on Richard Graham? He usually scores highly on World Wide Searches.

The England Scrum. Only Drink when Pythagorus Joe doesn't Scrum Straight. That should get you drinking about 10 times a game.

@Dan54, Must be something good about Levin, because Toyota have a Corolla Levin model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AE86. There is no Toyota Whanganui model that I am aware of, but there probably are a fair number of Corolla's in Whanganui.

^^^ Might be a pay increase in the offing for the Wallabies. Money for that has to come from somewhere.

Gee, that is bad news. He looked in good shape during RWC. He redefined aspects of the game and was the first true global Superstar of Rugby. Jerry Collins must have been smashing all the wingers up in Heaven for the Selectors up there to put Jonah's name on the team lists for this weekends...

I understood that the To'omua vacancy crops up after 2016 Super 18 is over.

The 2015 version is now all done and dusted, and it would appear that once again there were more positives than negatives arising. NRC in 2016 will also not be competing against the Rugby World Cup for oxygen, although Wallabies will be committed to Rest, Team Rehab and the Spring Tour...

Any word on the 2015 SJRU AGM? What are the hot issues that need to be resolved in 2016? Still no Annual Reports from 2013 onwards on the SJRU web page.
