99.9995% chance it's some fuckwit from a betting company or an "independent" journalist or left by accident by some other party. If it happened to be an ARU plant, not surprising it would occur under Cheika.

Ya Jammy bastard, Dave Rennie! Even better.

No, but as a NH fan, I must admit to a little schadenfreude when he was having a whinge about releasing Gill and Holmes early.

Cheiks is getting quite good at the bullying thing isn't he?

Brumbies should have left him at tighthead in the first place. Given that they didn't, Chieks putting him back to tighthead is also a mistake. I also think that with the quality of Slipper, Sio and (Toby) Smith he shouldn't really be in contention for that loosehead spot anyway. Nothing...

Ben Ryan for Glasgow ;)

Strange. Not a bad signing, but with 4 outright locks plus Lopeti on the books already maybe the money and/or international spot could have been spent somewhere else, although where I don't know.

Should've worked harder to keep PAE in Australia. Unfortunately he's visibly fallen back into the bad eating habits than plagued his first couple of years at the Rebels, so would be useless for at least the first 6 months, even if he was released and signed tomorrow.

3+ divisions of fully professional rugby, most money of any domestic comp in their top division, fans who're really club first and national team 2nd, and a team with a habit of choking in big tournaments. Sounds like English football to me.

French really want to be to rugby what England is to football.

For you guys to beat ;)

Canada, England, Fiji, Kenya, New Zealand, Samoa, Scotland, South Africa and Wales should all be at the Comm games. No Argies, States, Frenchies or Japanese yes, but it's the best part of a leg in and of itself.

Gold medal final is a little different surely. BBC level of coverage should be what is expected, to fall short of that is to fail, plain and simple.

AFAIK, no highlights of the epic between Andy and Del Potro, regardless of what you think of them personally or stylistically, it was an enthralling game.

Needs to keep his dirty twat habits in check. Plenty of extremely talented Rugby Players have learned to keep themselves on the "a prick, but on the right side/barely on the wrong side of the laws". Locks mostly spring to mind, but I'm sure there's room for bastard centers.

Would love to see foreigners. Would need to be targeted carefully though. Blokes who's countries don't play too much before/after the World Series, who'd be willing to release the player, and who'd be looking for additional income. Those two criteria probably rule out New Zealand, South Africa...

Kerevi will be the 13. Hodge will be the 12

Given the Rebels thread got derailed by the Brumbies talk, I don't really feel any shame derailing this onw with Vic talk. I think it's both a good thing and a bad thing in terms of our growing maturity as a Rugby Team. Getting players pinched before you can sign them is a sign of your own...

Extended format would work if you don't go for anything but the finals guidelines, i.e. 10 minutes a half. Taking an 8 team, 9 round competion across 4 weekends, for the sake of argument, using the NRC, Week 1: Gameday 1: Thursday, Round 1 in Sydney Gameday 2: Sunday, Round 2 in...

Bobby is also in Year 12 Caputo, and he's just backed up an 80 minute game for Colts with an appearance with an appearance off the bench in firsts (losing both, haha Quins). Don't worry about him not being in the NRC squad.
