Got some of them right. Good mix of youth and experience. This mob should do us proud. Go you good things.

Is James Slipper becoming in danger of becoming our #BlameSamBurgess? Uncool folks. There was a team of 15 on the field.

Picked a scab off a festering wound here. Many of the countries of birth are accidents of time and space with the lad born in the Pitcairn Islands, during the time his folks were on business doing research into the effects of isolation on Byron Kelliher, being as Dinky Di Aussie as anyone...

We hate The Darkness, The Meat Eaters, and The Lazer Pointerers with a passion until RWC, when suddenly they are our best mates (even more so when we are all dealing to "others") and "we" all subscribe to this magical brand of rugby called SANZAAR that makes us all superhuman and infinitely...

^^^ It's the Sydney FOMO Bandwagon effect. Problem has been that the glamourous have been focused on manoevuering into the right space so that they can be seen at the right Spring Carnival event. Choices, choices, choices.... ... ...

I think people are getting a little too wrapped up in a dick measuring contest over a line on a map. Are we missing the Super Rugby banter and parochialism that much?

Cream rises to the top. Schoolboy Rugby CV matters for nothing in Colts and Grade. The School one attends may help one get a gig with ARU, but it curries no favour with any of the Colts or Grade selectors I know.

I reckon that they'll most likely announce a touring squad of about 28.

It's knockout footy. All bets are off. The most fancied side usually wins, but all too often doesn't. Pressure does strange things sometimes. Fans from all 4 countries should be very nervous, very nervous.

Any other Keyboard Selector keen to post their NRC Barbarian Squad prior to the Big reveal tonight on Fox Sports Ch 502?

http://www.americasrugbynews.com/2015/09/13/foreign-born-players-rwc-2015/ Contrary to popular belief about some countries raiding others for talent, if this article is to believed, NZL and AUS are the primary exporters of talent at RWC 2015. I added one in to the total for Wales to cover the...

According to this article: http://www.americasrugbynews.com/2015/09/13/foreign-born-players-rwc-2015/, Argentina is the only "Vanilla" country at RWC 2015 with no players in their squad that were born overseas and qualified for them on residency or parent/grandparent grounds.

That is great news for the Reds and Junior. While size isn't everything, I reckon another 10 kgs wouldn't go astray on him but wonder if he would still retain his speed and slipperiness if he bulked up. I reckon that it should be made part of their Super Rugby Franchise agreement that each...

In typical fickle Aussie Bandwagon style, many were claiming World Beater status last week.:)

With figures like that, some folk missed seeing some sublime rugby games.

Germany will be playing at the Central Coast 7's. http://www.rugby.com.au/sevens/ArticleDetails1/tabid/1767/ArticleID/16706/Aussie-Thunderbolts-side-named-for-Central-Coast-Sevens.aspx "Fans unable to make the tournament in person can watch all of the action from Wyong via Bar TV" -...
