Here is a camera angle from Joubert's Post Game Debrief outside the Referee Selection Committee room.

Match Report

That would probably work for every franchise except the NSW ones where the Super Rugby entity (Waratahs inc) have little or nothing to do with the NRC franchises, which are all independently owned by either a consortia or major shareholder of ARU/NSWRU Affiliates (Rays and Stars) or privately...

^^^ A box kick from the base of the ruck/maul or scrum can sometimes effective against a rush defence.

Crowds across the board have been lower this year, although Brisbane City at home have been streets ahead of the rest. There have been some fairly small crowds at most venues, not just the Stars. Being a world cup year hasn't helped, with most of the focus of the rugby world on things...

Marcello Bosch was only suspended for one game, and will be another big threat in the Pumas backline that wasn't there in their dismantling of the Oirish over the weekend.

From the Rugby Banter page. Well I thought it was funny.

There's a few reasons why rosters have been fluid, revolving door if you like. It's a World Cup year, and several blokes have been called up for Wallaby/Extended Wallaby Squad duties. Several players have landed Joker Contracts in the NH after being spotted in Grade Rugby or early NRC games...

Did you miss the IRB Rebranding announcement @Bullrush?

How many blokes are you allowed in the Front Row of a scrum? I must have missed the passing of the Law Variation for the RWC2015 that allows for "any number you like if you are playing against Australia". Not to mention the other Variation allowing other than props to bind on...

I am fairly sure that John "Scoreboards do not lie" Jeffrey is a enough of a gentleman not to let his Scottish heritage colour or prejudice any decision he makes in his capacity as Head of Referees, after all how can you dislike anyone who's only regret about their occupation as a farmer is that...

Forget that angle @Inside Shoulder, How about they rely on "evidence" collected from refcam to retroactively humiliate a referee, and most likely end their career via the court of public opinion?

2015 NRC Ball in Play Watch Round 1 Brisbane City v Perth Spirit - 41:14 minutes - New Record* North Harbour Rays v Sydney Stars - 34:58 minutes Greater Sydney Rams v NSW Country Eagles - 37:25 minutes Queensland Country v Melbourne Rising - 34:19 minutes Round 2 Sydney Stars v QLD Country -...

and then, like Big Brother, flares and the mullet, the novelty appeal would wear off and we'd move on.

As does the Waratahs, unless I have missed something recently.

^^^ Hasn't it been so since it's inception? Good joke doing the rounds about the IRB announcing a RWC plate competition for minnow nations that it will run in March each year and be called the 6 Nations Championship.

One is never over Paddy. We now have "Son of Paddy" wielding the Acme Thunderer in the NRC. Fortunately (this view may depend on your location) he is based on the Gold Coast.

Precedent set by Paddy O'Brien in 2009 after NZL v ITA. Target for public humiliation - Stu Dickenson.

Here's another RWC15 casualty. http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/115761 Joubers is gooooone after Joël Jutge does a Paddy O'Brien and hangs him out to dry. Taking a leaf from the Chairman of the Board's "Guide to Sacking a Coach" manual, he issues the standard obfuscated "point of no...
