    According to GAGR GPS TOTS http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/qld-gps-2016-team-of-the-season/: My guess? Inman is on the way out (with no Wallaby contention apparent), and we want to diversify our potential center options.

    Sa'aga, Tupai and Tuimalealiifano have all signed development contracts, as has Semesi Tupou from Nudgee College in Brisbane. https://melbournerebels.com/2016/11/15/rebels-add-local-talent-with-new-signings/

    France v Australia, Saturday 19 November

    Meh. Maybe it's the SNP talking, but I'm very much of the mind that if you live somewhere for a while plus share in the values and identity of the place, you've got the right to consider yourself a part of that nation regardless of citizenship.

    Also: for all your talk about the bench, we also left two unused: reserve scrum half Ali Price and outside back Rory Hughes, plus our other back sub missed his one on one tackle on Kuridrani. So, Chillax

    Rugby News from unexpected places

    24 Teams please. Just lock in the number of teams from each region regardless of how they qualify. Rather than have the funky situation this time where teams seem to qualify at random. Say: Europe: 9.5 Oceania: 5.5 Africa: 2.5 North America: 2.5 South America: 2.5 Asia: 1.5 Rather than a...

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Bit of irony in the fact that my mob lost a game against a Southern Hemisphere nation despite scoring more tries due to you kicking all your points and we didn't!!! Still happy enough with that performance on that end. Jones looks quality and will be great competition for the 13 jersey for the...

    Shows the advantage of kicking your goals! Good win for you boys. Lacey was shit, but for the first time in my life he was shit in favour if us.

    Too small to be a French Centre anyway.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Wonder how many would agree to it. Reckon it'd definitely work for your out of window games. Less certain about the in window games. And then you'd probably be looking at them asking for reciprocal rights, and that could be worth a lot more financially, particularly if you're dealing with...

    November Internationals not involving Australia

    It was more along the lines of: recruiting foreigners to play for Zebre and Treviso will be a lot harder than recruiting them for Glasgow and Edinburgh, because the environments provided are more conducive to allowing players to excel (natural development as opposed to specific development) and...

    November Internationals not involving Australia

    Italian teams and structures are shite though. Nobody develops there. Sarto and Favaro have been comparatively brilliant playing Glasgow than they were with Zebre and Treviso respectively. WP Nel in particular just looked like your slightly more mobile than average tighthead at the Cheetahs...

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Much more: you hadn't won the previous 24 encounters prior to Newcastle, the match immediately before that you'd lost. You had won the last 15, and before that we'd won 7 of 9.

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Eh. I get where they're coming from. Laidlaw is an excellent kick. As are Hoggys torps. While the Grays and Gilchrist are both good at pressuring the opposition lineout into poorer decisions with their defensive positioning and movement, even if that doesn't result in steals. Back 3 and Russell...

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Then that's obviously a point of difference. Kicking game to me is the type of 10 (or even 9) man rugby played by French, English and South African teams designed as playing not to lose rather than to win, usually demonstrated by less talented squads. Kicking for territory in difficult...

    I remember looking at the 2014 team and thinking: 1. Toby 2. Shota 3. Weeks 4. Pyle 5. Neville 6. Jones 7. Fainga’a 8. Higgers 16. Pat 17. Lahiff 18. PAE 19. Timani 20. Reid That's a pretty good pack.
