If someone has yet to release a thesis analysing the relationship between win/loss ratio and financial success of a Professional Sporting organisation, I may be just the man the for the job. Imagine the "compulsory study tours" involved in that PhD.... Anfield, Old Trafford, Staples Center...

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/crippled-cmc-quiet-on-sports-rorts-report-20100914-15ae9.html It's alleged pressuring of public servants to make a grant to the QRU and then some of those funds then ending up at the UQ Rugby academy.

Maybe it is halfway of the campaign then but it is good news that they are setting new membership records off the field, like the did on it during the season.

Reds First XV campaign has passed the halfway mark now. Apparently 7,500 is more members than they've had in any of the last 5 seasons. http://www.qru.com.au/NewsEvents/NewsArticles/tabid/581/ArticleID/873/Default.aspx And they're having a comp for 2 members to win a signed jersey and rugby...

Yasawa Islands Fiji Jnor. Mantaray Island to be precise. Not a bad close/easy backpacking destination for younger players.

I can also confirm the coolers are well suited to the role of keeping beer cold.

Wonder if Davies held that peak speed for the whole 40m or not so a 4.0 second 40m. Nalatu had a 10.3m 100m on him in athletics but I don't think quite that fast in his Reds years.

I have no problem with Quade carrying as the ball like that. It's why he can do things like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hquX4PlNqyw

Actually you'll just have to wait for jerseys to be flown over to the UK so that you can pick one up off eBay or website like Lovell rugby and fly it back over. Retail price of £50 there is not $170 these days.

Yeah, apparently inserting fists in the shape of paper, scissor, rock.... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/drew-mitchell-tattoo-exposed-in-wallabies-game/story-e6freye0-1225957894909

Barnes - 3 runs for 6 metres, 2 missed tackles and giant knock-on to bomb a try..... Lucky he kicked straight.

Lee, We are the Wallabies. They are the Italian Rugby team. Not the Italian soccer team, the rugby team. Should they defeat us tomorrow every member of the Wallabies squad deserves atomic wedgies and I will[personally fly over to Paris to deliver them! Defeat is not an option, Field size is...

Have added a couple of tickets to the England v Argentina match to the itinerary courtesy of this week's offer for the Christchurch matches found at http://tickets.rugbyworldcup.com/info/christchurchoffer.aspx Should be a big opening weekend to the tournament in Chch. Looks like plenty of...

Based on the number of members already signed up, Reds crowds in 2011 should be bigger than those in 2010 - provided they keep winning of course. Still a fair bit of work to do to get to the 15,000 mark though - or so the man on the street says. It will be interesting to see how the crowd...

Maybe Barnes suffers from Raynaud's Syndrome or something like that and lost all feeling in his hands... Let's hope it's something like that anyway other than being totally crap. There are now some pics on facebook showing a couple of the guys apparently suffering mild hypothermia. We may have...

Sounds like the coaching staff (and teammates) have had enough of Quade's missed tackles.... and are questioning his commitment to fixing the problem...

Well, the Mungoball was a refereeing debacle of the highest order and it looks like Mark Webber's just blown his title hopes so ffs - Go the Wallabies - bring Australia some joy tonight with a massive win

SMH has listed this lineup for Saturday night. Moore to return at Hooker and Edmunds on the bench the only changes to last weekend. The Wallabies Test team to play England at Twickenham (Sunday 1.30am, Sydney time): Kurtley Beale; James O'Connor, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Giteau, Drew...

Don't regret it yet - If we get up you'll be exceptionally happy for Wednesday morning. If not, most people will just think it's a Wednesday morning. I think we will win. We aren't putting a bad side out there either. I hope Davies and Turner get a chance to show off their pace.

Thanks Lee, I knew they had a decent backrow but wasn't sure about the rest of them. Hopefully Higgers has a massive game in his now long overdue Wallabies debut.
