Maybe the ARU should employ some people who actually follow rugby. Might help with things like this.

Fair call country rugby. Some clubs are better at pushing their players causes than others.

I was told, not sure how reliable the source, that the IRB are not happy with the amount of money being spent by the ARU on Women's XV's a year out from WRWC. It would be great to have some word from the ARU about the Women's game. I hear that the General Manager for Participation has been...

So with the Women's RWC next year it is interesting to see how the different countries are preparing themselves. Australia is holding a National Championships in Sydney next month, with the hope of selecting a group of players to contract up until the WRWC. USA, Canada, England and RSA are...

country rugby I'm not one to advocate for a player manager. I've come across too many who are not interested in the players welfare and can't be found when there are issues in the players life. I think you're better off finding a decent club with someone who has an idea of developing players to...

Top 4 now locked away. Just playing for positions next week. It's looking like Brothers may only last one week in the finals. They need to win this week to have a double chance. Uni and Easts are the teams to beat at the moment for mine. Nice to see a big crowd down at the 'bank...

Part of the issue I have with Club rugby in Brisbane is the constant bickering and infighting between clubs. The reason that there is no third tier comp is the fact that everyone is just focused on there own self interest and not what is the best interests of the game. For rugby to take a...

There is a training session at Ballymore tonight, 6:30-8:00, for anyone interested in making the Queensland Women's team. The sessions are open to all players this week and next before the squad is named on 19 August, after Cairns play Townsville.

He took them to court for unpaid earnings. Not sure they'd be keen to see him back.

At least we'll have Stiles. He can do forwards and attack.

Smith brothers will have to play their rugby in the ACT.

From my understanding the ARU sorted out the contract. PAE is playing for Waikato too. They might think ITM Cup is a better place for front rowers to develop.

Went out the the Qld Women's trials today. 39 ladies were put through drills and then played 3 x 15 min games. Lots of talent running around. There's a game between Cairns and Townsville in 2 weeks time and the team for Nationals will be named after that.

Anae is in NZ playing for BOP in the ITM Cup. Schatz has a bad ankle so isn't paying at the moment.

They trained last night.

Holmes, Simmons, Gill, Tapuai and Lucas all playing for Sunnybank tomorrow against Norths. Could have used them a few weeks ago.

He doesn't fit the mould of a Crusaders player. I think they'd be better off letting him go OS and playing Carter at 12 for the AB's with Cruden at 10.

It's an interesting concept with a lot of merit but do they really need 2 Russian Club teams? They must be pushing a bit of money into it. A couple of US teams in there too. I would have thought another Kiwi team or some Pacific Islander teams might have been worth a shot...

Will is making a late charge and is in 2nd place on his own. 3 rounds to go and I'll try to keep on top of things.

Apparently the Toolis brothers from GPS have played their last game for the club having picked up contracts in Scotland. A few other guys around the traps on the move too.
