I think that is why Chekia doesn't want the Wallabies playing in the early trials. I would expect he is going to have them working their buts off to get up to speed fitness wise. I also think he probably was honest when speaking to them about this and that is why so many of them were back at...

This is from the Norths website in regards to the links with QUT I'm not sure if QUT would be part of this as UQ would take one spot, I think Griffith Uni would be very interested in another (and they currently have links with Sunnybank) and Bond would be a good chance for the 3rd. While Bond...

I'd add Griffith Uni as the 3rd Qld University but QUT might be interested too. It will be interested to see if any Uni's are associated with rugby programs currently, apart from Sydney Uni and UQ. I guess with a CEO that has a strong history in University Sport this was going to be an option...

He probably is going to have the Wallaby players working their buts off to catch up to the other guys. He seems very focused on changing the work ethic of these guys. Apparently from data taken last year the Tah's were the unfittest of all the Australian teams and the Brumbies were the...

That makes sense when you read Chekia's comments that no Wallabies will play the first game and the second trial will have some Wallabies but is a chance for players who fighting for contracts to play...

I think if this expansion is going to go ahead they will just add a new conference of 5 teams so that the total teams reaches 20. Then the season will look more like the NFL where they play the teams in their conference twice and maybe 2 teams from each other conference each season. Then the...

That was part of the reason he didn't play Premier at Sunnybank in 2011 along with consistency issues. He developed well in the Dragon's 7's team that won the Central Coast 7's and on the tour to Singapore and was being penciled in as a Premier #8 before leaving for Sydney at the start of last year.

It looks like a good tournament. The addition of Canada and US will help both those countries.

It will be interesting to see how the Scots develop under Johnson. Matt Taylor seems to be doing a good job with Glasgow and hopefully can implement some good defensive structures with Scotland too. But I agree with TD in regards to their backs talent. It's there attack that has let them...

Yeah he did it just before Xmas. I'm sure if you go back in the thread you'll find the report.

One more down in the challenge for the 6 jersey for the start of the season.

McDulling is out for the year so I'm guessing that a spot was available.

You would think that the 22 would come from the top 30 squad unless there are lots on injuries. Quirk and Robinson are a couple in the top squad who could cover 6 and if they start Samo at 8 Schatz can play there. It's just good that the guys who are part of the Reds College are not just making...

Around that age. He's a good prospect but I wouldn't want to put to much pressure on him. He's still pretty raw. Just mentioned him as a few guys have said he's grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

Feaunati has link to Wests through his girlfriends brothers. He is probably after a fresh start after a bad 2012 when he couldn't break into Premier at Sunnybank and fractured an eye socket in a 1st grade game.

He started as a Centre in Colts 2 when he came to Sunnybank 4-5 years ago. Made massive strides when he moved to the backrow. Has plenty of pace and good hands.

He's a 6 and a lineout option. Has won the "Spirit of the Reds" award a few times at training. Apparently it's given out each week for the best trainer.

Talk that Ah Wong has been training the house down at the Reds. Could be a dark horse for a spot in the 22 this year.

I think all people want is to see Stirzaker get a run so we can compare the Super Rugby form of both. A bit of competition for starting spots should be good for everyone.

Are Scotland any chance of winning a game?
