If it was decided today we would be ok. NZ, Kenya, Samoa and Fiji would all qualify automatically as will Brazil as hosts. The other 7 teams would be (based on ranking and not a regional tournament as will be required for qualification) Asia - Japan? Europe - France Africa - South Africa Nth...

It's a handy team the Chiefs are putting out. Should be a good game. Hopefully they get good numbers. If it's a success the Sunny Coast Rugby Union should get a bit of money into the bank. Someone told me they need 3,500 to break even.

Haven't even heard about it being advertised. You would think it would be a fairly important position to fill now that the top job has been taken.

Obviously enough to be considered a South Australian success story. You learn something every day.

Thought he went to school at Scots in Sydney.

I know that the Tah's haven't been great in recent years but I'm not sure NSW has been relegated to one of Australia's smaller rugby states just yet. ;)

In relation to Quirk I think there was a lot of hype around him when he came out of school and played so well for Easts. He was far more developed than any of the others mentioned here at that stage. He hasn't come on as I had hoped but I'm not sure that Ah Wong or Browning are a better bet at...

Olympics will be a 12 team tournament. We will have a real challenge to qualify in my opinion. It would help if NZ, Fiji and Samoa were in the top 4 in the 2014/15 IRB 7's if we aren't. http://www.irb.com/mm/document/aboutirb/irborganisation/02/06/18/19/120327ljrugbysevensplanfinal.pdf

It was a great first tournament for Ben. Also testament to the hard work he has put in. He was in the Thunderbolts squad at the Noosa 7's in 2011 and was due to play in the Gold Coast IRB tournament that year but did a knee and has worked incredibly hard over the last 18 months to come back into...

See what happens when you post on forums after little to no sleep. I stand corrected. I agree with you that Graham has no history as a defensive coach. From listening to them speak though they seem to share a lot of the responsibility for these things among the 3 coaches. Link has moved all of...

Matt Taylor chose to leave the Reds as he wanted to coach at international level. He has history in Scotland having played over there and represented Scotland A at one stage. He has been doing a good job in his second role with Glasgow Warriors but judging from last nights game has a lot to do...

Great win by Kenya over South Africa.

Costs more for day 1 and I'm not sure they'd attract much of a supporter base especially on a Friday.

Disappointing performance from Aust v NZ. Blew a really good chance to win in my view. Some of the players make some bad decisions in contact.

I think the Reds players will be very focused on the trial games at the moment. I think most Reds supporters are pretty happy with how thing are going at the moment. We have a coach that we trust, a good squad of mostly fit players and some real talent on the fringes trying to break in. The QRU...

Had his knee cleaned out a few weeks ago. Not sure how long before he's back playing.

I used to coach him when he was 16. He's a good kid and made the Aust Schoolboys team after being selected in QLD 2. It wasn't an overly strong schoolboy year for 10 after the previous years had Cooper, To'omua, JOC (James O'Connor) etc. Went to school at Lauries in Brisbane, so they are starting to get a...

Sharpies working as a commentator for Fox Sports so he might not be able to fit in in to his busy schedule.

At least they switched onto the fact that Qlders wont support Tooheys New. We Lion tried to have it as their rugby beer it wasn't popular north of the border.

England v Scotland is always special. Went the the game at RWC and had a great night all decked out is Scottish gear apart from the result.
