How do people think we will go here? I thought we'd be firm favourites with a squad full of blokes trying to break into the Test team but apparently we're only expected to scrape home.

Quade just posted a story about his new "tough guy" status on his facebook so told him not to get carried away with it. One push to the back of a bloke's head doesn't make you tough. If we stay disciplined with our play we should come back undefeated this tour. Anyone know where I can put some...

What's the bet a Wallaby gets a yellow card tomorrow? That's 2 matches without one so we must be due.

Reds are paying $17 to win the comp. I like those odds. Reds v Crusaders final at Suncorp. Reds win!

I don't think Robbie will make any personnel changes unless someone goes down with an injury during the week. He spoke a fair bit about continuity of selections in the lead up to the Beldisloe so I doubt he will do anything to disrupt that continuity. And even though nearly every Rugby fan...

Rugby won't get money from a Labour Government because it is an elitist sport primarily played by those who attended private schools (who have plenty of money anyway so who cares). That was K-Rudd's rationale and the ARU & QRU have not effectively dispelled that theory in the 3 years since...

Is Albert Anae any good? He's been around the squad for a while now without getting any game time. With Hardman retired you'd think he'll get game time at some stage next season. Couple of injuries and he could be key. Physical stats suggest he's a bit of a unit and will probably be a bigger one...

Some good attacking work from Sonny at 2:20 into this clip from yesterday's game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErHvWw1fJxA

2011 Reds Membership Brochure This looks pretty good. Not sure what they are planning with 332 and 330. Must be keeping them clear for supporter groups or something.

I think Jana Novotna deserves to be far higher up that list. Her's was a genuine choke - had it in the bag, thought about it, got nervous and completely went to shit. The All Blacks haven't choked at a Rugby World Cup - they just haven't been good enough to win one since 1987. "Jana...

The game of rugby is thriving in France, South Africa and NZ. So the question is, what do they have in those 3 countires that we don't? The answer clearly is Cheergirls! Our Super Rugby teams need them! But more seriously, if Rugby wants to thrive in areas such as Western Sydney, it...

When you strip away all the theories/if's/what's/couldabeens and look at the cold hard results, we are 3 from 12 in the last 2 Tri-Nations series. A 25% win percentage is nothing to get very excited about. Many would argue it's unacceptably low and the coaching staff should be held...

I think it would be good if the ARU put on some sort "Super Rugby's Fastest Man" contest in the pre-season to build up the start of new comp. Maybe a week or 2 before everything kicks off to see who is really quickest. The 3 fastest blokes from each Super franchise in Oz battle it out over 2...

Who does everyone want to see step as the new major sponsor now that QR has pulled the pin? Surely discussions must be fairly well advanced with a few other companies around town? And what's this story today about heading back to Ballymore. Surely a beat up to try an get a good deal at...

For those that want an extra angle on the McCaw try - here it is. Explicit langauge warning on the clip though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNcw9cM3JPs

Wallabies 36 - All Blacks 27

Don't the Wallabies stay at the Coogee Crowne Plaza in Sydney? And didn't the Waratahs have some shameful budgie smuggling youtube clip out earlier in the year? This one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epNBy7oLwyQ Think that fundraiser must be coming around again - or maybe they just...

The flyer was for people to register on the firstxv website for the chance to win a free membership. I just wonder how much of a stretch 15,000 is compared to other years. Average crowd figures for this year works out at around 22,800 so you'd think they'll have to hit the junior clubs hard...

Wallabies wish list at this point in time is confined to fucking well winning a game. How about we do that first before getting carried away with who may or not be there next year? Could have the same injury toll this time again next year. And then, where are we? Half way up Mt Hutt without a...
