Whatever else Chek has got this team to fire fucking up! In a way we NEVER saw from Deans.

TGS 5 tries, 4 converted, ACGS 5 tries 3 converted As Kepu has said above, Churchie will rue its poor execution in the last 5-7 mins of the game (scores were T 33 C 31) when they commanded possession within meters of the TGS line. They were the lesser of the two teams today (not by much, but...

Churchie's number of unforced penalties is killing their attack, TGS exploiting well

.....and TGS looking the better side so far, superior ball control, discipline and defence.

In carefully filtered and 'fair-use-only' selected comments from Wayne Smith writing in tomorrow's The Australian, some interesting input from Smith is below. If correct, we can see that the rushed call for 'expressions of interest' as announced for the Reds HC position by the QRU just a few...

See the article as posted. Laporte stated: "James O'Connor is coming after the World Cup. He's not in the Wallaby squad, but he's on standby. So he'll come afterwards."

I have often posted on GAGR re the depth and relative sophistication of AB skills coaching, and the multiple support coaches they have to provide this and that such specialist coaching resources (a) far exceed those understood as required or invested in by the ARU and (b) go a long way to...

Only very recently (this July), Bernard Laporte stated categorically that JO'C would return to Toulon in 2016 and that he was contractually signed and bound to do so, or would have to pay to get out of the contract...

It is 'interesting' to see K Hunt emerge in the 'Leadership Group' of the Brisbane City NRC team. It must be nice, really nice, to be a player who is paid c.$700,000 pa and has to prove so little to nonetheless enjoy continued support from on-high and indeed promotion into these types of...

gel, as I think you'd agree, one of the major downsides of the QRU not sacking RG mid-season or immediately at season's end is simply that he has been allowed to craft, or go on crafting, the entire Reds squad as he sees fit for 2016. Even if a new HC of calibre was appointed now, his hands re...

TK, how well do you assess that P Mooney is shaping the BGS side - or, do I have this wrong, and he's 'director of BGS rugby' and not 'coach of the BGS 1st XV'? (A mild aside: defence was never a Mooney strength during his Reds' period.)

Thanks L. It was such a peach of an article, I could not resist the urge to share it in full with my good fellow posters here. Editing it down, in this case, would have culled so many amusing - or depressing - bits out that were germane to the whole. It's not often Aus rugby entertains us as...

Then the noble citizenry of GAGR might need a plea to its erstwhile lawmakers on this issue in that: The Daily GAGR Rugby News email is a nicely edited montage that purely provides a varied text summary of other publications' rugby stories and then links directly to them. Many different...

Your issue with the title you refer to is straight forward in its explanation, and I'm surprised you had to ask: For its 'headlines and short summaries' Rugby section The Australian often lists article titles that differ from those that are used when one actually clicks through to the article of...

Just switching radio frequencies over to the Wallaby-related station no one really cares about (except a tiny little group). 'The total coaching team that matters most' - 2TCT FM >> B Foley on Rugby HQ last week, in discussing his kicking issues, referred to the fact that Cheika has just now...

But that's what you first said. And now the goal posts of your critique have shifted to 'being at Churchie since Y7', that is the new 'acceptable homegrown threshold'. The hard fact of the matter is that the majority of QLD GPS schools offer rugby and multiple other sports and academic...

Some astute points there ML. As well, what is really improving each game (so far anyway) is Churchie's defence. I will not be the first to say: Excellence in forwards work + excellence in defence = far higher likelihood of winning games.

Correct! I think The King got this right first, up above, but inverted the numbers to get 4 although he meant 11 in reply to my question.
