Hey you've got the bye this week so be happy with that! Watch how the Brums go against the Force, if they struggle then I'd say the Tahs with finals out of reach for the year could be a realistic 'banana skin' game for the Brums. You may get some joy yet! At the mo Cruden appears to be...

For the round coming up in Premier 1 we have: Singleton v Southern Beaches (Tip: Beaches to win, the Bulls haven't been going too well). Hamilton v Maitland (Tip: Hamilton - after seeing them destroy most of my clubs men's teams I think they will get up easily here). Lake Mac v University...

Props: Slipper, Sona, (Fat Cat) - didn't have enough transfers, hope Sona gets some game time Hooker: Ged Robinson, (Bismarck) - again not enough transfers but I don't think Adam will play a whole game so confident Ged will get some time. Locks: Jason Eaton, Peter Kimlin, (Luatua)...

Phoenix - what a cool name too. Hopefully the Force can rise from the ashes of 2012 just like one. Agree with one of the posts a page back about Jack Lam. He is a very capable player & he would be handy back in Oz. What do the Force fans on here think about Jack Lam, would you want him? or is...

You raise a really good point here on this new 5sec rule. This is the main issue I see with it. I'd like to see the infringement here awarded with a penalty kick or free kick but no scrum option.

This is just a video I came across of the Wallabies when they came into Newcastle for their fan day prior to the infamous Scots test (well, the 2nd infamous Scots test).

Cheers Crashy. I've stated this in the past & I'll state it again that my real 'expertise' if I may be so bold as to put it that way is Mens Premier 1 Rugby & Women's Rugby (I still play in the women's comp & I've seen a lot of the premier 1 as it is before the women run on plus it is the most...

Hartley in the bin. Expect SA to go ahead now with a man up. update: ripper ending coming up (not quite as heart stopping as Black Caviar tonight but still exciting, impressed with England hanging in there, about 7min to go) A draw at FT, good effort at the end by England, both teams would...

I was playing Rugby today during the live game so I grabbed the replay & I had to do a double take when I saw McCabe on the side line with the tampon up his nose. I wonder what the brand is - they should sponsor the Wallabies. Put a picture of McCabe's bloody mug complete with Tampon up nose on...

Yep, on the 15's front pretty much nada by what I know. There are no games at national level as far as I know either but I don't see any reason why women's Rugby can't organise a few touring teams. We were able to get a Canadian school girls team to come to Newcastle to play our local school...

Lake Mac have signed former Waikato Chiefs lock Mark Burman. Excellent signing, as the article says he was a part of an extended AB's squad at one time before a knee recon. Below is the article - there are two links because the Herald posted pretty much the same story twice & has 2 different...

I was living back at the old house (my grandparents place) sitting on the floor of the lounge room in front of the TV with Ma & Nan watching from the lounge, & Pop watching from his chair. Good times.

People should give SNK a chance before judgement. On the flyhalf or Rugby playing in general side of things, what happens up North does not always happen down South & vice versa. I'd give him a go at 5/8 first.

Ebersohn & now SNK. Add a solid coach & I think the Force can be pretty happy. Pending injuries things should be a lot better in the back line with a couple of players like that.

Fox sports showing NSW Women's League & their coach Piggy Riddell & one of the women's league players - talking about women's league in NSW. Their 'women in league' will be featuring the women who play as well as the women who volunteer. Rugby could learn from this when it comes to celebrating...

100% there Blue. Especially about Morne Steyn, I can't really believe he's missing some of those kicks at goal - he's way better than that.

England staging a very good come back. To their credit they hung in there & now are clawing their way back.

England do not look organised at all.
