Ben Smith was unlucky not to be in the squad. he will wear black again. Him and gear will be good for the Highlanders.

AFL is starting to show up over here. They don't have a competition (at least in the lower South Island)but they have started initial efforts to raise the profile of the game.

I made sure to instill a dislike for cricket at an early age. My boys play softball. 90minutes then home!

I got an out-of -office Autoreply, so not holding out hope that they will spring into action and meet my demands that the French team's fine be canceled.

Didn't make myself clear. During the off season, there is a strong touch rugby competition over here, I have no idea what is available for you. School grades, mixed teams, adult teams etc, running several days a week. A lot of our players do it to keep fit, and it does help them with their...

Playing touch rugby is a good one. Keeps the passing skills up. That and running to keep the aerobics up.

Actually I did. Send your own message to: irb@irb.com

Eat more! If you start putting on fat, eat a little less. Have a sandwich at recess or an extra one at lunch. Sounds like you are burning it off.

181 cm and 61 kilos? shit you must be skinny. Don't worry, you will bulk up. Just a tip, if you are that height and weight and working out lots. Eat more! Peanut butter sandwiches etc. Feed the muscle so it can grow! Don't worry about lots of supplements either. Eat real food. Have a look at...

Typical Hurricanes player. Great one week, the next.......

I'm sorry. Have you not had your cocoa today? Here is what I posted this morning: "I thought it was great. They answered a challenge and didn't back down. No one got too close or threw a punch so surely the IRB can put it down to pre match excitement and ignore it. " Like pretty much every...

Half back and 1st V are two positions that would be ideal for you. As halfback you would be used to passing to a 1st V so should already know where you should stand.

You do not have to be a big polynesian player. Skill is more important. Especially tackling. If you can drop someone by taking them around the ankles then that will cancel out a lot of size. What position do you play? What positions can you play? How old are you? I would recommend that you...

Not sure if I have read these posts correctly, but it sounds like you have school boys playing two games of rugby a week? How does that work out for the boys? 30 minutes each way of full contact rugby once a week is enough for growing youngsters. training tues/thurs on top of that, maybe an...

The issue with clubs having control over the teams is practise times. Here in Otago, and likely other parts of the country, we have resisted having the clubs take over school boy rugby. The clubs have them till High School. Typically up to U13. The clubs want to run the teams, but their...

At the moment there are people collecting money in the streets from the public to help pay the fine. Just like we did when the samoans got fined over the mouthguard incident.

I thought it was great. They answered a challenge and didn't back down. No one got too close or threw a punch so surely the IRB can put it down to pre match excitement and ignore it.

Not as happy as he would have been if Henry had given him a ring.

SBW gets bagged for being all about the money, but this guy tops him. He managed to get out of a contract to go play in France. If he had finished the season he may well have played most of the tournament.

Don't be a cock. at least have an established presence on a forum before you start slagging off the host country. Not that you will be reading this anyway. You will be a one post wonder.
