Kavapulu must have been nudged out (if he is not injured) but since he is a pretty good Under 20 prop it is not a bad thing that the selectors think others are better. Whiteley played in the Canberra tournament; so I'm guessing that he missed out because of the kind of player he is...

There's five extra players there which is wise because there will be injuries between now and the last camp and it is well that replacements will be training together and trying their best not to be one of the five excluded if everybody is healthy. Well done to 2013 Oz Schoolboys Deegan of...

:) So long as he doesn't go blind. .

Which team is which??? :) Thanks for posting that TOCC - great clarity. I hope that the ARU arranges for the some NRC games to be seen like this, even if it is after the event—and with the audio of the officials added. .

Shameless and over the top but you have to admire the enthusiasm. .

In the 1971-72 season in the northern hemisphere.

I've been saying this for 15 years on rugby forums, like Don Quixote tilting at windmills. If the value of a try is increased in relation to the value of a penalty goal, what will the players do when they are defending their goal-line? If they want to play the following week they will do...

It didn't work for me last time I used it so I stopped @Hugh Jarse. And I guess it didn't work again. Using Firefox. Gagger knows about it. .

Don't agree with every item, but with most of them, and the list shows some lateral thinking. I especially like not changing the points system. I hope that people don't try to explain why increasing the points for a try is a good thing. .

It was at half-time as the players were coming into the tunnel. He was ropeable and so were his team mates. I didn't hear what was said, though I was sitting right by the Rats tunnel. Come to think of it—it was odd seeing him go through the home tunnel. I think he approached it to speak to the...

I went to see the Rats whack the West Harbour lads today 39-18 after winning 2nd grade 27-24 on the bell and getting whacked themselves in third grade. Surprisingly their scrum did OK against big bopper props M. Ala'alatoa and D.Lolohea. Dave Harvey was the best for Harbour but he got stick...

He did, but sometimes you felt like throttling him last night through the TV screen when he dithered at the base of rucks giving defenders a second or two to set, as he did at the Tahs and in his last year in France. Jones has made a big step this season and maybe it's because he is a year...

Yeah they do and they are also fond of the "accidental" loiter. They aren't the only ones. On Friday night I saw guys like Potgieter diving into rucks for the Tahs like swimmers starting a race. And sometimes the action wasn't even needed. Queensland do it too, and too much, because they are...

He had a sudden rise last year, and I didn't think a lot of him on club form before that; but he has potential and his coaches should improve him. He made a horrid mistake last night which could have cost them the game. Wingers are like football centre forwards: they have to know how to...

It wouldn't apply to rooms but some pubs have the Foxtel Channels set just with Fox 1 or Fox 2—or so it used to be when I used to go there for lunch once a week. The bar manager told me that those were his instructions and he thought that it was part of an agreement the hotel owners had with...

You need cash not profits. Not the same thing. Edit: We know what you meant but cash is not the same as profits, which is what we meant. You can make profits in the books and still have trouble paying wages. You will soon find that out if you don't collect the money owed to you (already...

There is no obligation for posters to identify themselves.

Tevita Vea is a young brute, yet skilful: the type of player U20 Aussie teams need. I saw him play for the NSW Colts v. the Aus Barbarians before the NSW team was finalised, and he looks better now playing U20s with his contemporaries than he did at school playing with U18s. This is not...

To be fair it is difficult for Easterners to comment on Western matters because there is not enough information or news from there in the forum to comment on and we don't see the players play here. Had the tournament been in Sydney I am sure there would have been more comments because we would...

"Like" doesn't quite do it. I don't mean that particular quote but the whole post. .
