I'm looking forward to Sir Henry.

The cricket on the radio is brilliant.

Journalism in this country - spew! Pyke?, Tomkins? for Olympic 7's? This would be funny if they were joking but the fact that they are being serious is just disturbing. I watched Tomkins in that BaaBaas game & the try was the one good thing he did. IMHO Olympic 7's (in addition to going for...

I really like that idea! While they are at it (& yep I've repeated this a few times) they should add the option to cut out the commentary & have the option to hook up to the ref's mic or just the crowd. Our game is foreign enough for some people the last thing we need is our commentary crew...

Agree 100%. I've said it before I came from a family background that was Loig & Rugby but lesser of Rugby. I actually got converted once I started playing & my coach actually took time to explain the laws in plain English. Once he did that Rugby made so much more sense than Loig & thus I was...

We have had quite a round in men's premier one! Details below: http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-union/barrett-insists-two-blues-are-real-deal/2648046.aspx?storypage=0 In summary. Sth Beaches 18-17 beat Wanderers (at Cahill) Maitland 29-5 beat Merewether-Carlton (at...

About how we need a 3rd Tier comp. I laughed because I was surprised to see her G&GR name on the screen. Nice to know I can still get excited over small things like that, it has been one of the highlights for mine this episode.:)

I knew there had to be a thread on that! Just saw a couple of tweets, one was on how we need more AUS refs & quicker QTPE in the scrum - unsure if there will be any time to answer those though. Horwill says bring back Rucking - best input from anyone so far this episode.

I wouldn't rule it out. I expected Drew to do exactly as he did, he's trapped, not his fault. Though I'd rather see him replaced by a hard nosed & knowledgeable Rugby Journalist, whose income is not controlled by anyone in our game & essentially free to ask tough questions without fear for...

Have to say that pretty much sums up the feelings I had listening to it. Now listening in to the segment on the Tahs, listening to Drew just cements my earlier comment from way back that current players are never going to answer the hard questions bluntly - with good reason too because they...

Rugby club has a big show on tonight, apparently you can tweet questions to them live. Update: Lol, saw SFR's tweet, totally agree too!

No way, not me. I'm an angel ;). I can empathise with the different view points on here about refereeing & poor player behaviour (to put it lightly). I def agree poor refereeing can lead to players getting the shits & taking it out on the field - I've seen some of these games get very messy...

On a predictions thread a while ago I picked Wallabies to win 2012 Bledisloe & Rugby Championship.............I think I may have inhaled a bit too much of artline texter fumes when making those predictions.

It will be interesting to see how it goes but I don't like the idea of it being a scrum penalty if you do go past the 5secs - otherwise it doesn't sound like too bad of an idea.

For the ITM Cup Premiership I follow Canturbury (I know big shock there ;)). For the ITM Cup Championship I follow Tasman. Both sides have Saders. It is also a nice sight seeing Nasi Manu playing for Cantabs. If both teams were in the same comp I'd just go for both. One of the rival...

First off I agree with all the tips given before mine. Especially re: picking too many expensive players. At the moment my team has $0 in the bank but once the team line-ups are made I'll be able to sort out a team that gives me something in the bank. My tip is on Auto transfers: I always wait...

Thanks to the Olympics I completely forgot to sort out my Super Rugby Fantasy team. Oh well, onto Rugby Championship.

Thanks for reminding me of the Saders awesome effort :D In all seriousness though I think the earthquake disaster galvanised the boys & that is how they lifted like they did to some degree. I don't like using travel as an excuse either but it is hard not to think you'd be knocked around by that...

Holy hell. Did not get to see this game live as I was playing Rugby myself - feel like maybe I'm lucky to have missed it. The scoreline - yikes! Congratulations Chiefs! Commiserations Sharks - it was always going to be hard for them.

There is a fair bit of Sevens Rugby influence coming in to the schools here in Newcastle (so I've been told) so it does make me feel like too much of that will result in less players capable of scrummages, i.e. the tight 5. For that very reason I love the sounds of this 'tight 5' program. In...
